Wish they had that beaver tail on the models here in the USA looks nice. Interesting barrel and parts for that Glock...

I want that G46! The Beretta PX4 with it's rotating barrel is a fantastic gun. It is very accurate with very little recoil. That G46 needs to get here now.

If this is designated the 46 then what is the 44 and 45?  

Maybe the civilian MHS could be the 44 (9mm) and 45 (.40 S&W)?

Curious

looks like they beveled the frame on this to match the slide which begs the question of why not bevel the frame on the gen 5s?

cool ass looking gun tho

Wow holy shit. Why didn’t they release that here instead of the gen5 lol. Looks to be G19 sized? The trigger profile looks a lot straighter and the trigger guard looks nicely undercut as well. I want it

I wonder if they have a work around for suppressors like the Px4 was supposed to have and never got out of the dev stage.
Link Posted: 9/24/2017 4:06:29 AM EDT

So it can be taken down without pulling the trigger, rounds are fully supported, no feed ramp, bearver tail, and barrel rotates. The article implies this was done in order to compete for a German mil/le contract.

How much recoil reduction does a rotating barrel offer?

Why??? Beretta already did this with the Cougar and PX4. Not the greatest suppressor hosts... The Browning barrel tilt design has proven itself to be the best for semi-auto handguns.

Yea, because everyone needs their handgun to be suppressor ready...  Increased accuracy and reduced recoil is much more beneficial to 99.99% of end users than suppressor compatibility.  The only way that will change is if suppressors are de-regulated, and even then it won't shift much.

***Disclaimer***  I am a suppressor owner myself, and am not discounting suppressor usage on handguns.  I'm just stating the reality that suppressed handguns are a niche market and are of limited real world use due to holster limitations and OAL.  And Glocks in general are not the best host to begin with.

Interesting.  I'd like to shoot one before I go jumping just because of the rotating barrel system, but neat anyways.  If it reduces recoil and increases accuracy......I can get behind that as long as reliability isn't sacrificed.

Could be the next evolution of the GLOCK! Or it could be a dead end experimental prototype in order to meet a very specific mil/LE RFP (that HK will win anyway because Germany yo).

I'd certainly get one!!

This is speculation, but rumor is they will be released next year and they will need model numbers. Makes sense.

Source?  There's no mention of the Bundespolizei, let alone GSG-9.

The article says the G46 hasn't received approval from the PTI yet... and that there are no specific contracts that it's competing for.

Not sold on the rotating barrel assembly, it does typically exhibit less recoil and better accuracy, but can also be quite finicky.  If it doesn't degrade reliability, I would be fine with it.  

The beaver tail looks horrible, way too much going on and would likely get hung up on everything.  I do like that the frame is beveled with the slide, while not a big deal to me on my 5th gen, it would have been nice for them to have done it on the US version.  

The biggest plus I see with that frame is "THE STUPID CUTOUT ON THE FRONT STRAP ISN'T THERE".  At least the German Police figured out they wouldn't need it.   :)  While it doesn't bother me on my Gen 5 19, I would have preferred it not be there.

What is funny is how a lot of folks would run out and pick one of these up, yet still complain about how the parts on the 5th gen glocks aren't compatible with the earlier gen pistols.  I don't believe too many parts on the 46 would work with earlier Gen pistols either.

Huh... I'd likely buy one.

Every rotating barrel pistol I've shot has been a kitten and pretty accurate... if this one is reliable as well, bonus.

1-16 were attempts, 17 was the final design of the gen1 17


Also I take it the germans don't like full sized guns see glock 25 and 28

Well they could, in theory with this mechanism, sit the barrel lower in the receiver and put the spring around the barrel. Kind of like the strike series pistols. Without doing that I dont know why this exists. It even looks to lack the pistol grip upgrades. This might be a gen 6 or 7 thing but I doubt now. It also looks like from the photo that they are back to the original single spring design. Lowers part count but wouldnt the lack of duel springs negate the minor recoil reduction on a 9mm? Also, if you wanted lower recoil but wanted to still use a suppressor why not build a traditional factory 19 with a custom comp that could be easily removed without tools and replaced with a suppressor?

Only reason I ask this is because this pistol looks very contract specific for a market that will not have a huge volume purchase like the US Army would have. IE the US Army will pay more for little interchangeability issues and pick which one performs well as opposed to getting a narrow purpose built pistol.

The German police is buying pistols on state levels and I just checked which state is up next. It is Bavaria with a demand of slightly over 35,000 handguns to replace the HK P7s that they have.

Well, I would be even more interested in buying a surplussed P7 ( for a great price) than a G46.
