The add says Glock 23 in .380, a Glock 23 is in .40S&W. Late April fools joke? Nothing on Glocks site also.

Would be more impressed if it was in the .30 Super.

The .380 is so 20th Century....

It’s a typo—that’s a 28 in the picture.

The Glock 28 has been around since the 1990’s, but due to GCA68 was unimportable to the US.; I think they were mainly sold in South America & Europe…

There were still a few floating around, though…saw one at the Tulsa gun show for a ridiculous price (I think it was $2k, something like that.). Funny thing was you could buy the mags all you wanted; looked just like a G26 mag with a spacer at the rear…

Looks like they’re making them in Georgia now.

Also: a G19 in .380 is a Glock 25. Wonder if that’s coming next…

Yup, 23 is a subcompact 40 that's smaller than the 26. Someone hit the typo button as there are multiple 28. Oh well

No, the 23 is the same size as a Glock 19; the .40 subcompact is the 27.

Again, it’s a typo. That’s a Glock 28 pictured, and it’s a real thing.

I get the Glock 25 and 28 were made for the foreign market (not all can have mikitary aka 9mm ammo) and the GCA of 68 kept them from being imported (Gloc had to make the 42 in the USA to get around it)

And I’m all for them making guns here but seeing you can have the same size gun in 9mm my question is WHY? We are not Europe!

No worries I don't do 380's, only 360's . Time to make some doughnuts

That G28 is going to have LIGHT recoil…that’s a definite reason for a lot of people.

I’m actually considering one.

yeah, but engraved into the slide, it does say 28

the only thing i found was what i had linked, it was the European model

 

[HansGruber]

It’s real, and in the US.

SA should bring out a version of the Hellcat in .30 Super.

Cannot stand a Glock. Grip angle
I have no issue with it being a quality firearm.
Not for me

I'm all over this - SOLD. And next month they are supposed to be releasing the G25 and will get one of those as well. SOLD and SOLD.

Been wanting these for 20+ years. When they built the U.S. plant I figured they would produce these then that the import restrictions didn't apply but it never happened till now. About time.

i find this to be the same thing many others have said. (mostly Glock haters or deniers)

POINT to make clear first.......you NEVER said you hated Glocks, just not for you......

where, i find/found, no issue in the grip angle.

my hands are smaller than say "Lou Ferrigno" (The Incredible Hulk), so what i did was cut one of the extra back straps, and installed it on the G-17. this "fills in" at the top where my hand butts up against the beavertail.

but before i went and did this modification for a trial basis, i had no "grip angle issues"......so, i left it on, since then.

now, some here may debate (not argue) that i did change the grip angle, where all i did was fill in the area that my hand grip space between my thumb and trigger finger has no gap, for a much better grip.

also, since i added that modified back strap, i did have to buy the extended back strap pins with steel ones...(came in a set)

for the so-called record, i also own a G-30, and a G-44, with no modified grip at all.

i'm not a Glock fanboy, but all i ever hear from so many is "the lousy grip angle" (or such wording) of a Glock........if Glocks were "that lousy a gun"........why are so many sold..????

also, as another point, at the 3 LGS's i frequent, why aren't there used Glocks for sale, over SA's, DW's, S&W's, Ruger's, Les Bear's, etc,etc,etc...????

fact 2........why are there more of the above used guns sold......over Turkish built ones..???

i hardly ever see any of those for sale (used) at the LGS's.........

ahhh............the hate for a Glock..........all cuz of the "grip angle"..........?????

my "modified to fit me", G-17
