I didn't mean to be so abrupt, but what the heck is Glock doing reinventing the frigging wheel?

If they really wanted to 'accomodate' .45 shooters, why didn't they just make it a single stack weapon using the proven Glock action? What's the point in inventing a "new" .45 caliber round? What was wrong with the 'old' one?

While I'm not a personal fan of it, Glock has managed to secure a huge portion of the market with the action they invented. If Glock shooters wanted a smaller version of the pistol chambered in .45 ACP, that's what they should have given them.

But hey, that's just me.

Merry Christmas my friend.

Regards,

If truth and honest opinion is abrupt I'll take that over warm and fuzzy lies anyday. That's why I like freepers for the most part.

I think Aston wanted his own version of a "caliber" like the 357SIG or 40 S&W (aka Short & Whimpy)............thus the trendy 45GAP..........all smoke and mirrors. But of course I am a member of the gun of the month club thus will get one to line my gun safe with and test fer myself !........... 1911A1 rules !

Stay Safe and call em like ya see em friend !

This could be a move towards the non-lethal handgun.

The GAP "Short", primer + ~1 grain of powder, could put out an eye, if the shooter weren't careful.

Cor-Bon may soon introduce their .40 cal. bottleneck version to increase feeding manners.

What we need is less proof that engineers masterbate.
