Well I still haven't bought one but I've got two more on the way from a recent GSSF match.

I'll have a G17, G26 and G34...

G17 might go if I like the 34 enough

I was told today from our department range officer, that Glock was going to have the model 43, a single stack 9mm, introduced around February of 2015. This was stated directly from the Glock rep that the department uses. I'm heading to the academy range tomorrow, I'll attempt to get more info.

That's after SHOT, isn't it? I'd think they'd at least announce it if not release it at SHOT.

You're probably correct about releasing it at SHOT. I wasn't sure of the date, but it sounds like that's what Glock will do.

Not long after the G42 was released, a Glock rep publicly stated that they wouldn't be releasing a single stack 9x19 until sales of the G42 had begun to drop off because, he said, no one would buy the .380 if a similar sized 9x19 were available. That's a refreshingly candid statement, and I have no doubt that his statement is correct.

Maybe it'll show up at SHOT. Maybe it'll show up shortly thereafter. Maybe it will be another year or more. We'll just have to wait and see, but you can bet that when they do get around to releasing it, Gloc will sell tons of them.

I am getting a 42 regardless as it is a sweet little .380, but will also definitely get a 9mm once it comes out. Hopefully the dimensions are only slightly larger than the 42.

I can't imagine the 9x19 single stack being as small as the G42. This means that the development of 9x19 and .40 (and 357 SIG?) single stacks means Glock is going to have to develop yet another frame size.

That's why I think these pistols will be introduced later, rather than sooner. I've been waiting for a single stack 9x19 from Glock for twenty years. This is no exaggeration, so, get in line, gents...

I'd have to handle a single stack Glock 9mm before really getting excited about it. After shooting only double stacks, I was pretty underwhelmed with the P239. I wanted to love it and it always seemed to be a crowd favorite, but I never felt like I had a great grip on it, constantly adjusting. Hard to say if a single stack Glock would be the same.

I carry my G34 in a Sparks VM-2. Too long for the belt though.

LGS had Glocktoberfest today. Their prices are already outstanding but due to the sale today 9mm Glock magz were $18.XX. The 12 round factory G26 mag and the 33 rounders were $28 flat. Then they had Gen 2 Pmagz for $9.XX. I walked by the ammo isle and saw FHST 124+p for $20.XX and said shit. You are trying to get all my money. I loaded up a basket and went to the gun counter remembering to buy stuff now, while its quiet (nod to Para there).

Took a friend up there to finger bang some pistols and maybe buy. Springfield XD, M&P compact, Shield, G19, G26, P320, and VP9 were all brought out. He picked the 19 stating it felt the best out of them. Then moving parts were discussed, accessory availability, magazine cost, years of on the market and tested banter, and all the other typical things like weight and size. He ordered a 19.

I played with the VP9 and P320, dry fired, finger banged, etc. The new strikers have slight trigger improvements over the Stock Glock but nothing that major to me, just a slight improvement.
Marketing as usual, X10 of the reality. The Sig felt like a normal Sig grip to me and the VP9 just felt odd, would definitely have to jack with all the panels at length. Neither was some revelation. Both very nice guns though. Finish and build quality looked superb and I'm sure both are going to do very well for their mfr's. I stood there and said to myself "you can buy either one right now, no big deal, just put your basket away" I then looked at my basket, laughed, and went to the checkout line.
