 iknow, i know this comes up often but i've seen in the gun mags this is a big trend. ruger, taurus, sig, kimber, kahr, walther and more all offer slim single stack 9s with 6-8 mag capacity. will glock join the fray? with the 36 they have showed interest and capability in single stacks, i'm surprised they are so late to the party! or.......................maybe not so much.

I would not buy a single stack GLOCK, not a single reason to do so.  i like my G36 and its slim profile as opposed to the G30, although i also like my G29. i think a slim 9mm would be a big seller for glock. as to the slim 9s out there now i would go for the kahr but the pricetag is a bit high so i am looking at the new ruger!

I'd agree with this...one more on the market wouldn't hurt my feelings either. |

Buy a Walther PPS, buy a Kahr. GLOCK has something from the beginning that many companies had to evolve in to, high capacity mags, polymer frame, non selectable built in safeties. Fuck it, why don't we ask for a 4x4 Corvette instead of buying a Jeep for off roading while we're at it, oh well Chevies loss on that one... |

WHY? because it would be a good seller and glock already makes a single stack. a slimmed down G36 in 8 rounds of 9mm would be a sweet deep concealment or ankle carry peice.

If Kahr is the Corvette then there should be a Jeep model as well...who better than the 4x4 or the pistol world! Glocks loss on that one... |

The fact is they already have the single stack .45 on the books, just make a 9mm...WINNING! Funny how the defense takes the Glock is different b/c they don't make 1911's or AR's; that they shouldn't fine tune something they already made in another caliber to compete in a similar niche market... |

ar15s and 1911s are just pure bullsh-t ideas..............as we all know!  let glock do what they do well!

I think there would be a better market for a single stack .45acp Glock. A reliable 8+1 .45acp Glock that would fit your hand would outsell all of the 1911's out there.  G36 with pearce +1 mag extension! He said RELIABLE. 
If you look at the actual dimensions/specs. of the Glock 26 versus the other single stack offerings out there, they really aren't that much different. At least not different enough to make me pick one over my G26.  Here are some examples from the manufacturers you listed. All of the numbers were pulled from the manufacturer's websites except for the Taurus. The Taures website didn't have much technical data listed.

I've never seen the sales figures, but I would bet the G30 outsells the G36 by ALOT. The G36 also has alot more recoil and can be very picky when it comes to ammo selection.

The 19 or 23 is plenty small enough to carry concealed, unless your going speedo. If you do please manscape yourself with your NAA 22 revolver. I just threw up in my mouth a bit. |

I would not buy a Kahr, or Ruger compact 9mm but, I would buy a Glock single stack 9mm. I carry a SA Sub-Compact 1911 .45acp as my CCW. When I open carry it is my Glock. When trying to conceal a weapon. Sometimes that 0.5" or 0.8" Does indeed make a huge difference. Even with my G19, I can't wear it in a IWB holster without looking like I have some big massive growth on my side. That is why I carry my SA Sub-Compact 1911 when I have to CCW. Yes, SA makes a 9mm version. NO, I don't want to sell a kidney to buy it. Last time I checked my local FFL had one and it was well over $1k. Been looking hard at a G36 as it is slightly slimmer than my G19. But, I understand it is hit or miss with them. I own several Glocks but, the G19 is my carry pistol.

That chart is nice, but the numbers are deceiving. I EDC'd the PPS for over a year and the G26 for about the same. Despite the G26 being only .14" wider, the difference in real life carrying is HUGE. The PPS just disappears and you forget you even have it on you. The G26 is like carrying a baseball in your waistband. FWIW, I now EDC a G19. If I'm gonna be uncomfortable, I might as well carry something with a large advantage over the slim-nines. |

From a business POV..... Glock has a sub 9mm & a sub .40. It makes zero financial sense to develop a single stack version of ether that will compete with what they already have for sale. Guns that already are big sellers. ughhhhh.....then why do they have the g30 and........here it comes......the g36 your point fails.....imho i'd buy one tomorrow if available... |
