Old news, made for the German police.

Old news. There have already been several threads in this forum alone on the G46.

NO

What would be their rationale for making a pistol with a rotating barrel lock though? I would think it would reduce on the reliability in adverse conditions.

May actually be a good idea. Cuts down on felt recoil and there are other pistols with rotating barrels that work very well.
And if released it would be a Gen 6.

 

[BADOS]

Yes

Ernest Langdon has nearly 40,000 rounds through his Beretta PX4 Storm since January. It's a rotating barrel design.

The G46 was designed and built to allow GLOCK to submit a "tender" (offer) for the new round of German Police pistols. They will approve two or three and allow each agency to choose, just as they did in the 70s. The pistols approved in that selection were the P5 (Walther), the P6 (SIG Sauer P225), and the P7 (Heckler and Koch). Personally, I hope GLOCK sells the G46 in the US.

With the rotating design, and non tilt-back barrel, would that allow this Glock to shoot a suppressor without a Nielson Device (Booster)?
