Glock's big news

[Guest Razz]

[quote name="Will H" post="876572" timestamp="1357408835"].   My idea of a jack-of-all-trades is a company that offers firearms, lightbulbs, knives, and boxed spaghetti.  Just an opinion.       [/quote] All your points are great but this sentence is especially interesting. Gaston was making knives, curtain rods and door hinges when he decided to manufacture guns. I wouldn't even call him a master of manufacturing guns. Through clever marketing, timing and surrounding himself with other clever people, he hit it big with Glock Firearms... This of course plays to your original comment. I'd like to see what Glock could do with a carbine. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be as serendipitous as the G17 since Glock now has much more experience with firearms, where Gaston's knowledge prior to the G17 was limited.

Gaston was an expert in polymers. That was a huge contribution at the time.

LOL...  I had no idea he did that.  I was just trying to make a point.  Glock history is not something I have ever looked into.

So what was it?

[mikegideon]

I guess it's still a secret

The last press release they had was back in October.

Is it the Glock ID community thing? I cannot be sure. I am personally hoping it is a carbine. I'd be interested in one as well. Edited January 7, 2013 by CZ9MM

Shot Show is in 6 days. If they were going to announce something I think it would be then.

Whatever it is, the bad news is it will be backordered indefinately

I've joined you in the lameness.  Plus I'm a Glock fanboy at heart, so... what the heck.

[xRUSTYx]

Not even a Glock fan but registered anyways :)  what the heck, just another forum to belong to! LOL

[Guest Razz]

My thought was if there is even the slightest chance they'll give first dibs on a new weapon to the first 10k subscribers...I want in!
