Customs and Border to use Glocks. Also New Glock

[Edwardteach72]

Looks like HK lost their contract to Glock for US customs and border protections.

They lost to.... Glock, but not any glock the newest glock.. the glock 47...

Which looks to be just between the size of a Glock 17 and Glock 34 maybe.

The Chuck Norris Effect is working!

I don't see what this has over the 17.

???

It's new and therefore more perfect .

 

[Edwardteach72]

The ability to take a G19 (or "G45" slide if wanted.

It's a G45 size frame with either the G17 size slide or G34 size slide I cant tell.

 

[ECU Pirates]

I didn’t think it was possible but glocks are actually becoming more ugly.

Longer barrel and rmr ready.

 

[Marine Cpl]

I don't know. I see it as just another version of what we already have with minor tweaks. Glock is pretty smart to make it so attractive to the CBP so that they will adopt it and that will cause the Fanboys to buy it.

They are starting to bring out to many “new” pistols for the fanboys to collect them all.

Seriously , wtf is up with Glock lately?

 

[Justincase]

Wonder why they didn't go with the vp9 or vp40. That 47 looks like it would feel like a brick in your hands.

This thread on Reddit is a good read:

Between all the new models and getting Chuck Norris as a spokesman, you could say they are getting Glocky.

As good as the VP9 is or the 40 would be too many guys would whine or cry about the mag release! I guess HK did put a "traditional" button release for all that cried about it. Not a Glock fanboy but hard to mess with success I guess.

They wouldnt have complained about the paddle mag releases, they were already using Hk P2000s

 

[Justincase]

As far as mag releases go, personally I think Glock releases are the worst. No matter what model i use, my fingers get in the way of the opposite side of the release. Not hating on Glocks, i own two and think they shoot fantastic, but the mag releases do suck.

What a shame, the Army got it right.

glock mismatches the slide and frame, likely by accident, throws a new number on it (lets just call it 47…yeah 47) and watch the cool-aide fanbois stare….

What is it Chad? IDK Stan it looks slightly different…omg…i don’t care take my toyota camry money!

But chuck Norris doesn’t need a gun. He’s the worst gun spokesmen ever.

 

[Acer-m14]

why do they even have a gun .. there not allowed to shoot them . just catch and release ..

 

[m1a_scoutguy]

Yea good point,I did not know they already had HK pistols!

 

[Podmonkey]

So the "new" 47 is basically a G19 frame with a G17 slide?

It's a G45 frame with a G17mos slide

So essentially it's a G17 with the ability to become a G45 if wanted/needed

 

[Marine Cpl]

Ahh. None of these Glocks can't do anything special over a Glock 19 or 17 other than being optics ready. They could have just produced optics ready slides for both models.

Longer slide shorter grip. Longer grip shorter slide. All BS when it comes to a duty weapon.

Not exactly, plenty of times a full size (G17) grip with a compact (G19) size slide gun is a better choice.

Specifically someone in full kit entering a d exiting a vehicle

But im sure some might think they would be just fine with a G26

Lol. Umm. No. They would be just fine with a 19 for duty and a 26 for carry if they choose just like many police agencies throughout the years have fielded.

Or they can have a G17 size frame with 17 rounds or even a +5 and have 22 rounds and the comfort of tube G19 slide for when in a vehicle
