Dont need it.But want it and I dont know why. Who has one, opinions,experience,What is cool is it uses same holster as my G26.I have a G42 guess Im a Glockaholic.
Can you buy them in the U.S. now? Thought they weren’t bringing them in back in the day, but guess things always change.Dont need it.But want it and I dont know why. Who has one, opinions,experience,What is cool is it uses same holster as my G26.I have a G42 guess Im a Glockaholic.
US made.Can you buy them in the U.S. now? Thought they weren’t bringing them in back in the day, but guess things always change.
Well I’ll be.US made.
It's not a locked breech, its a straight blowback.It was on a list of mine and is and still is under consideration for a locked breech .380@
It's not a locked breech, its a straight blowback.
"Due to the relatively low bolt thrust of the .380 ACP cartridge, the locked-breech design of the Glock 19 and Glock 26 was minimally modified for the Glock 25 and Glock 28 to implement unlocked breech operation. It operates via straight blowback of the slide. This required modification of the locking surfaces on the barrel, as well as a redesign of the former locking block. Unusual for a blowback design, the barrel is not fixed to the frame. It moves rearward in recoil until it is tilted below the slide, similar to the standard locked-breech system. The reduced size and mass of the Glock 42 allowed for the return to the Glock-standard locked-breech design."
Similar, but definitely not the same. The G44 is a typical rimfire blowback design, but the 25/28 blowback design causes the barrel to tilt, mimicking a locked breech.So it operates similarly to the Glock G44 then.
I knew they were not exactly the same since the G44 barrel does not tilt.Similar, but definitely not the same. The G44 is a typical rimfire blowback design, but the 25/28 blowback design causes the barrel to tilt, mimicking a locked breech.
Unless you are a collector and just have to have one of each model, there is not a single good reason to buy a Glock 25 or 28. If you are a collector, get both.
I agree. Very soft shooting.The felt recoil is nothing like other blow back 380s such as the Beretta 84, it feels much softer.
No the 28 does not use the same recoil spring as the 25. The 25 has a single spring. The 28 has a dual recoil spring.The G28 is the softest shooting .380 I've owned. One potential downside is that it uses the same recoil spring as the 9mm G25, so ejection can be kind of weak. I swapped mine out for a well used G26 spring and haven't had any problems.
Typo. Meant to say the G28 uses the same RSA as the G26.No the 28 does not use the same recoil spring as the 25. The 25 has a single spring. The 28 has a dual recoil spring.
