The round is called the .357 Sig It’s a rimless made for autoloading (er.. semi-auto loading)

Glock will be easier to control for all the female agents they decided make wonderful bodyguards

I found that a strange adjective to describe a handgun.

Some people just like to collect...:)
Personally, I have a 9mm (can’t beat the price to practice with, and easy to carry) but when I get enough money, I am getting a .45.
Someday...:)

Strange adjective...You mean using the word “efficient”?
If you thought that strange, so, so did I.

Some people just like to collect...:)I get that, and that's fine. I think most collectors are not serious carriers, though.
But everybody should have their 'Barbeque gun'! 8~)

They jam when “limp wristed.”

Unless the characteristics of the 9mm are changed, I have questions.
1. 9mm tend to go thru targets creating collateral damage.
2. 9mm do not have the stopping power of a .45 cal etc.
Now if these 2 issues are fixed with this change, sounds good to me. However, I didn’t see stopping power and collateral damage as issues in the change.

Glock what?
Glock 26, 43, 17, 34?
(Yeah, I didn’t read the article.)

$500 plus accessories is pretty reasonable. Every one I’ve had needed trigger work.
Never had a jam or misfeed in 10 years.

LOL, even men who might be shrimps in stature wouldn’t be willing to surrender their “man card” by complaining about the grip size or recoil of a handgun!
This was one of the battles the military went through a few years back when it went to a 9mm sidearm. That was a mistake, as they found out in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I had 'em in .40 and 10mm until concerns about "the inevitable Glock accidental discharge" one of the posters here mentions, at which point I was going to throw them all out of my boat.
Then I realized that kind of "accidental discharge" usually happens only to those old enough or careless enough to experience all kinds of accidental discharges...at which point I sold my boat, and bought more Glocks.
I've used a number of different shapes and sizes for daily carry, but the bigger Glocks go with me, in a chest holster, when I head into the hills, where you might encounter two- and four-legged predators.
Dig the weight, feel, reliability, accuracy.
To: Freedom4US
The glock. 357 is not the magnum. The. 357 is just a necked down 40.

357 is a necked down 40. Nothing like the old 357mag.
