So when is Glock gonna make a 1911?

Hopefully Never.

I would hate to see John Moses Browning kick off the dirt from his grave due to the unnatural rate of deaths from operating your own pistol.

Glock should stick to middle of the road quality 9mm's and leave the real man calibers to actual gun makers.

SG

If you're referring to the "kabooms" everyone loves to cite as a result of poor quality, then perhaps you'll notice that they are attributed to doing things specifically advised against by Glock. ie: using reloads.

I'll agree that the 1911 is a great weapon as much as the next guy, but I highly doubt you can substantiate your claim that Glock can't produce top notch weapons in what you call "real man" calibers.

I wonder if he would like to do a side by side torture test of a Colt Delta 10 and a G-20 to see which one would fail first. Glock makes the best 10mm on the market.

Again, my claim is regarding a VERY close friend's .45 Glock KaBOOM ...iwhich I witnessed...it was an ADMITTED chamber failure, by Glock, with FACTORY AMMO, and Glock, in their inifnite superiority, gave my friend, a stand up guy, a big- assed throbbing, blue-veined viagra-slinging middle finger of a "FUCK-YOU"! even after admitting the failure was theirs.

Screw Glock...their guns are of at VERY BEST, middling quality in lesser calibers, and their customer "service" sucks the sweat off a dead child molester's balls. IMO.

YMMV, More f'ing power to you

Glock makes several models that could arguably be considered the best in several categories. Are Glocks the prettiest guns out there? No. Do they fit everyone? No. Does it have the history or glory of having been through several wars like the 1911? No. But then again, 1911s, Sigs, etc. don't fit everyone either, aren't always aesthetically pleasing, etc.

Glock is a fine example in durability, reliability, and utility that few can compare to. People can call it tupperware all they want, say how ugly it is, but you can't say it's inferior to other firearm designs based on KBs occurring due to owner negligence.

And no, I don't hate 1911s.

Edit to add: Ok, so your friend received a genuinely bad chamber. Are you going to tell me that Kimber or Colt have never produced a single bad item? With that attitude you might as well say the M16/M4 series weapons suck ass because they sometimes jam.

HOLY SHIT!!!

I just had a revelation, perhaps even an epiphany!!

EVERY mass produced product (not just guns, but EVERY product) will have the occasional defect. If you're the one in a million customer to get the junk, than that sucks for you, but that doesnt mean that the other million models out there are junk as well.

So your buddy got the one in a million. Tough draw. If CS was a problem, that's a seperate issue, but the literally HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS, if not MILLIONS of Glocks out there that have most likely fired round counts in the BILLIONS (collectively of course) is testimony to the soundness of the design, love it or not.

This is really getting annoying. Did gaston say he was making a new carbine or new gun in an official statement? No he didnt so STFU

Glock changed the pistol world and 20 years later SIG and HK are still trying to catch up. What more do they need to do.

Lets see...

Number one selling handgun brand in the world - Glock
Number one LEO handgun in the world - Glock

What the fuck more do you want? You know why SIG, HK, and Beretta make new models every year? Because they are still trying to find the magic formula that beats Glock in sales.

Extensive use of polymer in pistols is because Glock made it viable and successful

Seamless safeties and light fast resetting DAO consistant trigger pulls were made en-vogue because of glock

How many guns were sporting light rails before Glock?

Only how have designs from SIG and HK starting to show the promise needed to rival glocks winning formula, but they cant do it without double the parts and cost, and I get Glock mags for $20 less.

Speaking of mags...highest size and weight to capacity ratio across the board. GLOCK AGAIN

Seriously, what the fuck do people want. Go buy a fucking beretta 9mm carbine if you need something plastic to make love to.

Glock is doing alright in my book

Nobody bitches that Randall doesn't make Multi-tools or that Boeing doesn't make motorcycles.

GLOCK makes SUPERB handguns in several sizes and several calibers. Why demand more from a company?

Sure, a carbine would be cool, but I don't think GLOCK has ever even hinted at making a carbine. As far as I know it was dreamed up and expected year after year by people who wished they made one.

Do you really think they are going to lose their #1 position in the LEO market to something with interchangeable backstraps??? Yeah, that SW99 has really taken police departments by storm. So much so, that S&W is coming out with yet a 3rd pistol to compete with GLOCK.

It would be nice if GLOCK made a small single stack 9mm, so you didn't have to buy a Kahr. However, I would guess that there were more G26s sold last year than all Kahrs combined.

Hell, I wish GLOCK would make a car that is as reliable as my GLOCK pistol, but that ain't gonna happen. As long as they are making the best pistols available, I'm not not going to complain.

Agree 100%

I never understand why people complain that every GUN company doesn't make EVERY model.
Why the Brand Focus. If you want a carbine buy a beretta. The usual answer is , "but they make good guns"?. Personally I choose my guns, based on the gun first and who makes it second.
[I guess this is why I own several Norinco firearms]

Aston Martin make a nice automobile. Why don't make a sub compact Car ?
(btw, I'd buy one)

it's exactly what happens with commercial success. The head honchos think they can sell product on name recognition alone. Exactly what happened with Colt and Kimber and their 1911s, and with Colt and their rifles. Once they get the LEO contracts, there's no need to woo customers.

Glock came up with a design that's cheap, reliable, and idiot-simple to use. Some people want a car that gets you from point a to point b without any hassle or breakage, so they go with a Camry. Others want some whiz-bang tech that allows you to look good doing the same thing, so they get a BMW.

I like the Glock alot and have several. It would have been cool to see some new stuff I agree. I have been focusing on 1911's recently to customize and play around with some different parts.

Quoted:
Without constant upgrades Glocks will fade away into oblivion.

Take the 1911 for example. Without the many upgrades that have occured to it over the last 100 years it would never be as popular as it is today. If you held the first 1911 up to one made today you wouldn't even be able to tell that they were the same gun.

Without the many upgrades for 1911s, they would be less reliable, less accurate, and less user friendly. Perhaps the reason for so many modifications and accessories is that few people want one the way it was designed. Even with all of the bells and whistles, 1911s aren't necessarily the best pistols to bet your life on. I have a Kimber that is several years old, properly maintained, and properly lubricated. After at least 1000 rounds, it still malfunctions occaisionally, even with quality mags and ammo. My Glocks have thousands of rounds through them without a single malfunction. Not one out of 6 pistols with thousands of rounds fired over several years.

The Browing Hi Power has been aroung since 1935 and it is still going strong virtually unchanged.

There are only two negative points to be found about Glock pistols. The first is that they either fit your hand or they don't. If they don't you have to have the frame modified, rather than being able to change the grips.

The second negative point is the infamous kb issue. Those that don't like Glocks are quick to point out that there have been a few that have exploded. There have also been HK pistols that have kb'd. The walls of the Small Arms Repair Shop at MCLB Albany are lined with rifles and pistols that have kb'd. 1911s, M-16s, M-2HBs, etc. The member here that had one kb never misses a chance to post about it. Coincidently, he is the same person that kb'd the Keltec .223 pistol I mentioned earlier. Kind of makes you wonder if there is some kind of pattern there.

Sorry, you are totally incorrect. The problem with some of the "modern" 1911s and reports of unreliability are due to improper specs, [they were originally DESIGNED to have looser tolerances then what the new ones have] poor or incorrect materials and improper fitting. Reports of unreliability began when the pistols were tightened up to produce accuracy when they were used and built as target guns. Any of my ww2 GI 1911s are uber reliable. If I peened the rails of a Glock, fitted the BBL at the front of the slide and at lock up to the 9th degree and made all parts fit at a minimum spec, they would be just as unreliable as any POS 1911. Glocks run AND are sloppy as hell in tolerences. [lot of slop] Thats one reason they are reliable.

technically you're wrong too, the tolerances are quite tight, the clearances are loose. otherwise you couldnt swap parts between different glocks

OK, thats what I was getting at. lots of slop between the parts were designed in just as in the original 1911. JMB STILL had it right FIRST.

I bet my G-21 will shoot as good if not better than ANY 1911.

I would have been happy if they had even come out with a high quality holster to go with their quality guns, any thing I don't care if they have massive changes or evolutions just do something to keep things fresh and if your 'Amazing new product' is behind schedule say so don't just act like you never promised anything

OOOOOOOOOOOOKAY. Nuthin against Glocks but they will never win an accuracy contest with a properly built 1911. There is a reason that Glocks are not well represented on the TARGET range. Even my bud who is a Glock Armorer, and competetive shooter who LOVES Glocks above all will happily admit that.

Stop making sense dammit!!!!!

Just post "Kaboom" and "Glocks Suck" with no logical, reasonable or sensible responses.

I think what it is about Glocks is that Gaston Glock was the original "playa". He impregnated dozens of women and those illigitimate children have grown up knowing who thier daddy really is, but Gaston won't recognize them as his children. So therefore, we have alot of hate for all things Glock.

So don't tell me that Glocks won't shoot well, maybe it is you or your armor friend that just can't shoot as well as your guns can.

I never did, and still dont, understand why the Glock is so popular. I have always found it to be highly over-rated, and I have yet to find a Glock shooter than can out shoot me and my Sig 26 (9mm and 357 Sig) and my 9mm Hi-Power.

besides... 1>the founder/owner is against the public owning guns; 2>how many THOUSANDS of their frames have/had faulty rails; 3> how many have gone or will go "KaBOOM!"

Highly over-rated. In more than one way.

Personally, I think you can all keep your Glocks AND 1911's. I PERSONALLY don't like them. That's not to say that they are not both outstanding weapons, but I have fired both, and PERSONALLY do not like them.

I carry a Beretta because I like it better. Would I take a Glock or 1911 to the range and have a good time? Sure, but it's not my #1 choice for MY gun. Of course, now that I brought up Beretta, there'll be a million assholes claiming that it is only a matter of time before I catch my slide between my teeth.

I'd be willing to bet every gun in my arsenal that if you took the numbers of different guns produced by major reputable manufacturers, they would have a comprable failure rate. I would also bet that no matter what manufactuer/design you choose to look at, that failure rate would be less than 1%, and most likely significantly so.
