What I think Glock should build

[Littlelebowski]

* .45 and maybe 10mm variants of the Glock 34/35 platform. *Think about it. *The Glock 34/35s are a turn key, ready to compete $600(ish) gun. *Reliable, good trigger, great sight radius, easy to work on, and world champions use them. *Heck, throw in a .357SIG variant too. *Hi capacity, competition ready without having to dump tons of money into an STI/SVI. *These are service pistol reliable weapons that just happen to be competition guns. *Not finicky and not expensive.

*Thoughts?

You can make a 35 into a .357SIG just by replacing the barrel with a KKM .357SIG barrel.

Have discussed it a few times and think it would be a great if Glock came out with a factory version of a .45ACP longslide ala G34/35.

There are aftermarket options but a factory pistol would be very nice!

A .45 variant of the G34 just might get me to venture back out of the "9mm only" mindset.

Glock's desires and marketing to the contrary, the G34/G35 are primarily competition guns that also happen to be popular with some hobbyists and the occasional "tactical" type.

There's basically nowhere that a 10mm version would be useful, especially since you can get a 6" barrel directly from Glock if you just want the added velocity for hunting, etc.

The .45 version would be a lower-capacity option for making Major in USPSA, which wouldn't have much desirability.

Glock has probably deduced -- correctly, by my guess -- that a long-slide version of the G20/G21 would do nothing but cannibalize standard G20/G21 sales.

Personal gee-whiz new gun desires aside, I think Todd's right about that.

10 round G36 with a totally redesigned magazine.

Call it the Country and Western LE model.

I'm still holding out for a single stack 9mm/.40 platform.

[The Dumb Gun Collector]

I think Glock has pretty much exhausted the realistic possibilities. An 8 shot slimline 45 or 10mm Glock would be nifty, but probably wouldn't sell too well. A slimline 9mm/40 would probably please no one since it would be hugely chunky unless the redesigned the whole gun which is unlikely.

BMe too. I am not over thinking this one as far as economics etc are concerned in relation to Glocks business, I am just saying what I would like to have. :)
