I'd buy one in a NY minute

 

Hello all. I’m again asking Glock to build a single stack 10mm concealed carry pistol. I like big bullets. I like the Glock platform. Most every other gun maker is stepping up with new products…even 10mm options. Currently I’m carrying a Springfield. It’s a great CC weapon in 10mm.
Glock…you can do this. I’m not the only person out here that would buy one.

It would be very easy for Glock to make one. The reason that both the G20 and G21 require a larger frame than the 9mm frames is because of the overall loaded LENGTH both the 45 and the 10mm cartridges.

But since Glock already produces a slimline single stack 45ACP, It would be easy to chamber that same gun in 10mm. And then. to take things one step further, it would be easy to extend the barrel and slide to the same length of the G19 and also extend the grip and the magazine to the same length and you'd have a Colt Commander sized Glock.

But Glock will never do this. Why? because Glock knows that most Glock owners are recoil sensitive crybabies and that's evidenced by the fact tht so many prefer the 9mm over the 40 even though the actual difference in recoil between standard 180 grain 40S&W and proper Plus+p 9mm is negligible in the same size firearm, and Glock had to make the Gen 5 40 caliber guns heavier to make the 40's more tolerable to the recoil sensitive

And what's even more stupid is that the ballistics of most factory 10mm ammo is loaded down just slightly warmer than the 40 and only Buffalo Bore, Underwood, and Double Tap produce full power 10mm ammo.

I'd bet money that Glock has a few prototypes of what you're describing.

My thought is there just isn't enough slide mass to keep the frame battering down. 45 is much tamer than 10mm. And when you start having guys run hotter (more true) 10mm through it then there going to be issues.

Could you imagine if Glock said not to run full power 10mm through it or BB, UW or DT had to put a warning label on their packaging stating not to run in a single stack Glock 10mm?



Why isn't there a single stack .40? Weak wrists.

 

I became tired of warm factory 40 S&W ammunition that was labeled as 10mm, single stack would be nice, but having JHPs that would perform at 10mm velocities should be the norm IMO.

 

If they use metal mags, it can be an 11 rounder.

And here I was expecting a thread on concealing a G20/29.

For me it's a two step process:
1. Buy a hoodie or flannel (summer weight) about a size too big.
2. IWB a G20.

Being honest I'd probably buy a single stack 10mm as well. It would still be a chunker though.

Is the G29 too big for your needs?

Me too.
For me it's as easy as just wearing my regular size clothes.
Shove the big girl down my pants.

 

springfield XDs in .45 acp. very small.

 

I had also thought this was going to be about edc a G29. I edc mine in a DeSantis Speed Scabbard and wear an oversized Hawaiian shirt. Not hard to do.

iwould also jump on a G36 in 10mm

Sure...if their research indicates there is a market for it beyond Glocks 20 and 29. The Glock 29 met their market research requirements, and is in production, but a single stack version likely does not. If it had, we would have already have it. That's just speculation, of course, but I know that Glock is very analytical about how they do things.

 

Get 24,999 of your friends who would also guarantee to buy a slimline (single stack-ish), low capacity 10mm pistol, and then pony up the money with one of the big vendors who would be willing to place an order for a special production run with Glock for 25,000 units. You'll get the attention of Glock and the vendor, and maybe the rest of the commercial market (including the major ammo makers).

To be frank, since they haven't been willing to do it for the very respectable number of .45ACP enthusiasts and owners, it might be even more of an uphill climb for a single stack 10mm. (At least 10mm has seemingly eclipsed the .357SIG in the commercial market, with the 10 rising a bit while the .357 is rapidly sinking to the depths. If you think otherwise, just make a list for yourself of all the guns currently in production for each caliber. )

 

I always find it funny how so many people feel they need full power 10mm ammo for shooting people in a self defense situation when factory Silvertip and xtp power ammo is all you need. Lol one time I shot a 165gr underwood off in my house from a glock20 it went through the dry wall insulation and siding like it was butter and kept going outside to outer space probably hahaha. I carry mid power ammo now and only bring the hot stuff out for deer or for fun.

 

Well this thread took an unexpected turn- 10mm isn't exactly my preferred caliber for ccw purposes but heck yeah I'd love for Glock to offer a single stack 10mm model. Since we're dreaming/spitballing, pretty please offer it in either G3 or G4 configuration (I know if it should happen, I'm asking for too much).

Front strap finger grooves- I can take 'em or leave them personally. Ditto with the DLC coating and GMB barrel, eh ok. I have very little interest though in the FCS, the ambi slide lock, or the redesigned striker assembly.

I know I'm being picky but just give me the G36, chambered in 10mm, G4 format, with the usual Glock reliability out of the box and they'll have me lined up with money in hand to be amongst the first to buy one. Call it a 'limited model' or whatever, but that's the baseline of what I want.

Some of us short fingered folks find the debugged single stack G36 pretty exciting with heavier or faster than usual loads. But for me, no way will I shoot 50 rounds like that in one outing, the 21SF will take up most of the session. The cautious side of me would want a fully steel pistol for real 10mm loads in a mini gun. My prejudices only, YMMV.

G29 is ready the sweet spot for 10mm .

A G30 type skinny slide wouldn't have the necessary mass . A G29 -ish slide , mated to a frame taking G36 form factor magazine? I suppose it could be done , but I'd have to suspend Disbelief pretty hard to come up with a Why ?

 

I bought a Gen 4 G29 as a woods carry pistol. I outfitted it with Dawson fiber optic sights, a KKM 4.5" barrel, and Pierce grip extensions. It was accurate, carried well, and was my go-to woods pistol.

 

VART, A very nicely personalized G-29 to meet your requirements.

I'm 6'1, 225#, and carry a G29 in a Blade-Tech concealed under a sweat shirt in the fall/winter with no trouble. With a Pearce Grips Extension, I have no trouble with the shorter, 10-round mags. It's no more obtrusive than my Springfield Xdm Elite Compact in 10mm. YMMV.

I'm 5'11", 180lbs. and carry a G20.5 MOS with RMR and X300u-a, AIWB without issue. 16 Underwood 200 gr. XTP's on board with another 15 in reserve should be enough for anything a pistol is asked to do.

 

I've never carried my G21, so I've no practical experience with one. I have to wonder how well a large frame Glock would carry when I look down that big fat slide. I mean, every time I draw a bead with my 21, I half expect to see a B52 landing on it.

As far as ammo, don't ignore SIG in the list of options. I do choose to use Buffalo Bore and Underwood with hard cast in my G20, but I also have the SIG 180gr, Elite V-Crown as one of the human defensive options. It is a jacketed hollow point, and 180gr moving at 1,250fps yields 624ft/lbs of muzzle energy. It doesn't quite match the top end 10mm specs, but around here SIG 10mm ammo is plentiful on the shelves. SIG has invested in their ammo business, and for human use 624ft/lbs is quite a bit more than .40S&W delivers. If it wasn't, why bother with 10mm?

I would be interested in a single stack Glock in 10mm if Glock were to make it. But that seems like a pipe dream. From a "chasing money" perspective, a higher capacity micro-9mm would make a LOT more business sense to fix the leaking at the bottom (small) end of their 9mm portfolio.

 

In my 10mm days I rotated a G20, G29, and Delta Elite. All loaded with Double Tap 135gr. in the summer and 165gr. In the winter. 200gr. Fmj swc when in the woods.

Not having the money to keep properly loaded 10mm on hand in quantity I went to .45acp since off the shelf 10mm is so watered down.

 

I thought about a G20/29 back in the day but didn't want to spend money on ammo. Since work stocked .45, I got a gen4 G21. Been thinking of a G30S but they haven't released a gen5 flavor yet.

 

You've got the G29, it's chunky but not too bad overall. Glock doesn't seem to put too much effort into single stack guns, yeah they have the G42, 43 and I guess they still make the 36. In other words, don't hold your breath because while some people do want single stack guns, most don't. If you want single stack and easy to carry in a big caliber, get a S&W Shield in .40 S&W.

 

This is what? The 5th thread about wishing a single stack Glock in 10mm were made in as many months? Personally I'd take something like a 4" G36 with a 19 length grip in 10mm. But I'm not holding my breath. In the meanwhile I'll just continue to carry my G29 or 30/30S. Does just fine.

 

A single-stack 10mm model from Glock …. hmmmmm

In theory that would look something like:

Last I checked the Glock 49 is a 9mm.
