Glock Carbine

Really though it just cracks me up to hear people who defend exorbitant fees for 1911s , a 101 year old design, complain about the cost of an HK firearm.

Well, you're thinking of someone else. I cartainly wouldn't drop $2,500 on a Nighthawk or Les Baer, even though I understand that you're paying for dozens of hours of hand-fitting parts.

A production firearm and a custom firearm are kinda different but I wouldn't want to pay for a 1911 over $2,000. Only firearm I know that I would want to pay over $2,000 for is an original SIG P210.

I doubt there is any truth at all to the rumor.

There are two things.

First, Glock is primarily a supplier for military and law enforcement sidearms.

Second, the pistol caliber carbine has fallen out of favor with law enforcement, and is likely to be unpopular with military forces, select fire or not.

It doesn't appear to make sense for Glock to release such a firearm, so why would they?

All the complaints about HK's high prices are off topic, are tiresome, and are derailing the thread. Start another thread if you want to whine about it.

Considering how tough the Keltecs are to find right now I would say there must be a market.

Or Keltec has extreme production difficulties, which is actually the case.

If they do it would not be sold in this country as I am sure it would be NFA short. Just think of a MP5K in 10mm.

There are quite a few production 1911s selling for more than a new USP so why not go inject criticisms of those companies in threads? Not to mention $2K plus ARs.

But Keltek production rates are germane?

Yeah, the thread is derailed but it has been established here and threads before that there is no evidence of a glock carbine on the way.

In regards to a glock carbine i'd certainly be interested. I think pistol calibers make a better choice for HD than 5.56 or other rifle calibers, unless a can is attached, due to much less noise and flash. .45 out of a 16" barrel is incredibly quiet so one could use it for HD without the fear of substantial hearing damage or lighting something on fire indoors. Yes, a 5.56 is more devestating round but well placed .45 to the upper chest is extremely effective. The effectiveness of HG rounds is much more subject to shot placement than rifle rounds and a pistol caliber carbine allows for greater accuracy and quicker follow up shots than a pistol.
