Title: G39
Post by: glazier on May 19, 2005, 10:10:52 PM

Any input or feedback about the G39?  I'm a big fan of the G26, but wonder what benefit the .45 Gap could provide?  Maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to buy another Glock!   ::)

Yep - that's all it is!! ::) :P ;D

My own thinking is that 45 GAP is almost a waste of time, when there is 40 out there - but hey - that's just one ol' cantankerous phart's thoughts!! :D

Concur with Chris. Although I am not a big .40 fan, I venerate the .45ACP and the .45 GAP is, for me, a territorial imperative on a truly great cartridge.

One recent cartridge that I truly like is the .357 SIG. This cartridge, which is a necked down .40, has the requisite juice and accuracy for which I have great respect.

Glock's reference to the .357 SIG is ".357" (without the SIG reference). My take on the .45 GAP is that Glock wants something to rival the .357 SIG but the GAP is messing with the wrong legacy, in my view.
