View Full Version : New Glock Models - 34, 35, and 41 Optics Ready; A G40 Longslide 10mm
There are photos on Kiesler Police Supply's FB page. The 10mm longslide looks to be optics ready and have a 6" slide/bbl. No mention of anything else.

Nice update - thanks. We've been hearing the rumors regarding an optics ready series of Glocks and now we know. I was kinda hoping we would see a G19 or at least a G17 that was "optics ready".
Hopefully they add some other models eventually (19, 17 in particular).

This was on Davidson's website search.Looks like the barrel is 5.45 inch the same as the G34,G35,and G41.

Sure look's longer than the 34/35/41 on the picture.
Surprised it took Gaston so long...M&P and it's C.O.R.E series has been out for years.

Interesting. The part number in your link is different from the one in the Kiesler photo. I have a 17L and it looks like the G40 pic. Agree with Up1911fan about it being longer than the 34/41 photos also. Until SHOT or some leaked test samples we won't know for sure.
ETA: Glock has been making 10mm bbls in 6" lengths for a while.

I wonder if Gaston suffers from the "I invented it, so I know what's best!" mantra?

Been waiting for this since S&W launched the CORE in 2013. Looks like I'm finally going to have to pick up the G34 I've been wanting.

Can't wait to see one in person. I'm relatively new to Glock (still shoot a lot of 1911s) but Im trying to get startd in some local IPSC matches with my Glocks
I wonder if they'll still come with those crappy Glock sights. I'd hope they'd at least throw their suppressor height sights on.
I'm glad to see the folks in charge at Glock listened to what the market was screaming at them for years now and made a long slide optic ready 10mm Glock 40. I mean people have been clamoring for the model 40 since 2010 ...:rolleyes:

Bwhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Who do you think they are, S&W?
Don't you know by now you have to perfect Glock's perfection on your own?

This doesn't bother me that much. Not everyone likes the same brand or style of sights. If they put real ones on there the price goes up. If they aren't the sights I like, I still have to replace them. I am actually thrilled to see the photos with the plastic place holders.
Perhaps....nice to see Block stepping up though.

I want forward cocking serrations on these.
And the 10mm. I want the 10mm a lot.
Right. Glock is so stupid as to be the most successful pistol maker in the world.
Longslide 10mm I want . Optic not so much.
Love the looks of the long slide 10mm with optics. Would be a fun hunting pistol.
Finallllllly a long slide 10mm......I've been watching for a G20 since I started reloading. I had one about 4 or 5 years back and sold it because I didn't reload, now I have reason for one again. Now the 40's coming out, I hope to have one by summer.
Wonder if it's going to have the same slim slide as the 41???

Considering the 41 has material milled out from the slide, Magic 8 Ball says "yes."

Nothing says that Glock can't make crappy plastic suppressor-height sights.
I just bought a G20. That G40 is a must have!

I agree. If they start putting steel sights on all their guns the price will go up and I'm still going to toss them anyhow in favor of some flavor of Ameriglo. Carry on with the Lego sights!
I've lusted after a 34 for some time, I may just have to grab one of these new optics ready ones.
I would rather see a g17 optic ready gun.

FWIW, the local place has some G17s that come with I believe Warren Tact sights (blacked out rear, red f/o front). They were ~$10-15 more than a ‘regular’ G17. I bought one about a year ago and because I liked the sight so much so one less thing to have to buy afterwards.
Obviously if you want night sights his doesn’t apply, just throwing that out there.

While all of these are a step in the correct direction for Glock, they own that 10MM Niche market and continue to reign with this announcement. However, I can bet that most of the conversations and topics going forward and during SHOT will be about that single stack 9, or lack thereof. I have been looking at the G41 for awhile now, so I may as well hold out for the RMR ready version, and maybe down the road buy a 10mm slide if the ammo ever comes down on it. I agree with what some others have mentioned though, that G40 looks like the length of the 17L instead of the 34/35/41 length.
I'm hoping the G-40 is a 6". If so, I'll be getting one.

5.5 which is great, you can put a threaded 6 inch BBL on it.

I know a few vendors are listing it as 5.5 and 5.3, but I think they are mistaken. In the photos it's very obviously longer than the 34/35/41 guns. Someone also mentioned that many states require a minimum 6" bbl for hunting with handguns. Since Glock is naming it "The Hunter"... I suspect that's what it will be. Either way I'll grab one as soon as they are available in OD or Dark Earth.

Well we will know in 2 weeks. Glad to see Glock is coming around to guns I built almost 10 years ago....

Great looking blasters! I was actually doing the research for my own G20 Longslide. Had the KKM 6" bbl picked out... the 6" LWD slide... I was debating between using a proper G20 as a starting point, or my old G21 that is about to retire from duty when I switch to a G19. Buying a factory (w/ warranty) version saves me all manner of time and money.
5.5 which is great, you can put a threaded 6 inch BBL on it.
I have no interest is suppressing a 10mm. I would prefer 6" velocity and full sight radius to go with it.

That is the greatness of 10mm, you can do both.

I guess the gun newbees have been wanting one since 2010 but Us Ol' Timers have wanted one since the early 90's.
I have a G20 that I bought in the Spring of '93 and from the start I've been saying "I wish I had one with a longer slide and barrel".

I haven't seen anything yet to indicate if the G40 has the skinny slide of the 41, or if it's the same width as the G20/21 models. I also believe the G40 will be an inch longer in bbl/slide than the G41. I would recommend holding off on any purchases until after SHOT when all the details are made public.

Good point. I'm fired up about the G40 but 6" of aircraft carrier width I'm not so sure about.

I'm thinking I'd prefer the aircraft carrier slide on it - more mass to soak up the recoil. It would be a woods gun for me so I'll have some pretty stout loads in it. I also shot a friend's G41 and it seemed to recoil much more than my G21 during a side by side comparison.

If it is "aircraft carrier wide", I suspect that it will have the top of the slide milled out, like the 17L, 24/24C, 34, and 35.

I'm speculating, but it would be on par for Glock to make the G40 on the same size specs as the G41...like the 20/21 and 29/30 sisters..

I thought the working theory behind the skinny slide on the G41 was that it didn't need the beefier slide because 45 is lower pressure than 10mm? The 21/30 were the same as the 20/29 because it was easier to leave the overbuilt slide on the 45 models. They eventually realized people would want a skinny slide and thus the 30S and 41. I'd actually be surprised if it's the 41 size.

I agree with you, I have a feeling it will be the larger size to deal with the 10MM snap. I am a little surprised they have yet to scale down the 21 slide, but I assume that will come along when they release the 30S Gen 4 in 2020.

With the new RSA's, it may well be that the mass isn't needed. I really don't have a preference, but I will be surprised if the 40 doesn't have the skinny slide.

If that's the case we may start seeing the Gen 4 G20's with skinny slides. the wide slide never hugged me on my 21's since it's the same width as the frame. I'll actually be bummed about the G40 not being offered with a traditional slide. I have no interest in an optic for a pistol at this point.

Solid point. I predict it will be narrow and went to 6 inches to get the slide mass up more than any other reason. But it's still just 10mm targeted to sport and can't kick like a magnum revolver.

Just saw where GT Distributors is taking pre-orders for the new Modular Optic System (MOS) Glocks: http://www.gtdist.com/SearchResults.aspx?&Keyword=MOS%20MODULAR%20OPT
They had a few key specs, but no mention of the slide width. I figured the info would be on the Glock.com website, but in true Glock fashion, their website is always the last to post any news. But it did confirm the 6.02" barrel on the G40 (10 MM). The barrel on the .45 ACP is 5.31 inches.
GT is taking preorders now. At $567.50, it will be about $615 out the door here in TX with tax (Blue Label price). Selling for $699 to retail customers.

The specs are in the Glock site. The G40 is definitely a 6" bbl. slide appears to be the thinner version though. The width they list is for the frame.

With a 6" barrel, I might have to invest in that caliber I call niche because I really want to shoot it.
On one of the Shot show videos, the Glock rep said the G34 & G35 will be ready next week and the G40 in six weeks.

And potentially brass to the eyeball, the part that makes this a safety issue and gives me zero confidence carrying gun that spits BTF, not to mention if a gun is erratically ejecting it's a symptom extraction is less than ideal to begin with.

Hmm I am wanting a G41 MOS and G40 MOS now... maybe even a G34 MOS...
I still find it ridiculous that they have yet to come out with the single stack 9mm and I think it is hilarious that everyone is asking about it and they (Glock) are getting annoyed. My guess is engineering problems are keeping the single stack 9mm back so they are keeping lips sealed.

In earnest, I would much rather have a frame-mounted Aimpoint Micro than a slide mounted RMR/Deltapoint under any circumstances. So my interest in an MOS Glock would pretty much almost always be roughly nil. Whereas my interest in the 6sM would pretty much almost always be much greater.

I'd imagine that for a range only gun in an open gun holster, the 6sM would be better. For carry off the range say, outdoors as a woods gun, I think the MOS would be a more practical choice.

RCS is supposed to have a holster for a Glock with 6sM. Of course, I wouldn't expect them to really be "in the wild" until the 6sM is. I imagine like the Phantom that a thumb snap will be available as an option.
