Brand New & Shiny: Glock 46 | RECOIL

 

[Marine Cpl]

Oh no. Now those guys that bought brand new Gen 5's have to get another one.

 

[Justincase]

Is it a new model? Never heard of a 46

It is all good will and don't rub it in. I will just have to do more OT.

Just recycling.

From the article: "However, the major changes with the Glock 46 appear to be on the top end.

Yes, that’s a rotating barrel as opposed to a tilting one. At least two patents have been filed in recent months, including one regarding the rotary barrel."

What exactly is a rotating barrel vs a tilting one?

 

[C3D]

It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines here and it costs more than what you make in a month!

 

[Bananabandit]

so its a 9mm compact sized that has a rotating barrel?

 

[Darth]

No.

 

[Prudii]

So it's a Glock 19 with a rotating barrel? So Glock actually made something new? And somewhat unique.

If it's similiar to the old world war guns I have watched on C&Rserel on youtube. The barrel is attached to the gun by an interrupted screw rather than a tilting lug. Turn the barrel and it detaches

So, basically a bolt action, except the barrel rotates instead of the bolt.

It sounds like a similar barrel design to the Beretta Px4 Storm which has a rotating barrel. It's supposed to reduce recoil under the assumption that the barrel doesn't move upward when the slide moves rearward but instead rotates to go into and out of battery.

Its an interesting idea I look forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Fanboy!

 

[MilesTeg]

Fanboy!

I wonder if I can drop it without it going off?

Nope. That would be the Glock 7:

It's the only brand I have now. I just actually got rid of my 1911 a few days ago.

That rotation with the upper's groove and barrel's track would appear to be a point for failure if dirt got into the system. The tilting barrel design is a much larger movement that would appear more likely to tolerate foreign substances than the more confined rotating design. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison done side-by-side.

I would tend to agree with you. Not sure as to the reliability of the system just the theory behind it. The Px4 Storm is one that I knew of off the top of my head but I believe there are other guns that use this design as well.

Not pivotal to me. I could care less. Come again with something better honestly.

Fired my first Glock this morning. I'm not sure the model#, it was a 10mm, long slide. It would take a bit of getting used to, but it was a nice shooting gun all in all. I liked the 10mm too, easily managed.

I just want them to release their MHS submission gun.
