Glock's big news

[vontar]

I tried to avoid it, but I am in too.

Aside from the five "new" Glocks, it appears Glock has applied a bid on a carbine system for the Army...https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=6c5d041f27e35c74731a827d42c51859&tab=ivl&tabmode=list

Looks like Sharps put in a bid too. Are we gonna start issuing Sharps carbines to the troops? Lol

A G30S? Isn't that a G36?

[SlapChopDonkey]

I would be interested in a 30s, for a little more firepower than my XDs. Hopefully that's not Glocks big news though...

[quote name="Steelharp" post="883829" timestamp="1358104694"]A G30S? Isn't that a G36?[/quote] I think it's a double stack with the slim slide. Not 100% on that, though...

G30 lower double stack mag well with a G36 upper I think.

 

I have heard talk of it for many moons and people doing it themselves.

[vontar]

.357?

[Garufa]

.357?

 

.357 Sig.

[Steelharp]

.357 Sig.

Probably more like .357GAP.

[swim615]

Probably more like .357GAP.

Sounds like a very rare bird indeed. If you find one let me. If they have 2 I'm in for the second.

I saw it. I'll be on the hook for the 30's.

G30S=a short slide length?

[Slpeod]

Imagine the price a carbine would fetch right now!! With all the Kel tecs going at 120% over. A simple polymer Glock carbine could sell for 2k.

[nightrunner]

G30S=a short slide length?

No that would be slim slide. Its a G36 slide on a G30 frame. G36 slide is thinner than the G30's.

[Il Duce]

Yup, that was announcement #2 of 3. The 30S....yawn

Being a 36 fan, I'm not yawning until I fondle it.

Seriously how lame is all this crap.

Guess I get to save my wine.

[Steelharp]

Oh, go ahead; whine like all the rest of us. ;)

[Rowdy]

They have taken a page out of Apple's play book. Build up to a "big" announcement and bring out a few "game changing", meaningless updates. Whatever. Edited January 15, 2013 by Rowdy

Sadness.... Oh well, I still want to try that 30s.
