New Glock 40 Gen 5
quote:
They made the new gen 5 .40 slides wider and heavier to mitigate the extra pressure and recoil of the .40 round. So these new guns will likely not fit most holsters for Glock pistols and will need new holster designed especially for them.

That's what I remember; for the Brazilian police proposal the .40 Gen5 slides were made wider (and consequently heavier) to provide enough structural integrity to make up for the lost third pin. So unless Glock somehow came up with some magical, super-strength steel formula I would think that the US-market .40s will be built in the same manner. Similar to what HK did with the VP40 in comparison to the first VP9 release.

Waiting for my blue label dealer to get a 23 in so I can make my own 32.



Not minority enough!
