Are you seeing this Gaston? When will Glock step up with a single stack 9mm pocket gun?

I would LOVE that! As long as they make it a true single stack, not like the G36 (45 cal single stack) where the magazine is much wider than it needs to be for some reason.

It has always puzzled me that Glock, which was a really nimble company for many years, never filled this obvious market niche where they could have been an industry leader and cleaned up with sales.

Gaston must know something that I don't.

Speaking of interesting guns, have any of you seen this? It strips the round out of the mag as the slide begins to recoil, ejects the spent shell and pops the new one up in its place right at the end of rearward motion, and the chambers the round with the forward motion. The back of the barrel is about even with the back of the magazine.

While certainly clever, this design appears to add complexity and another point of failure to the feeding process. In this gun, feeding will depend not just on proper magazine function, but also on the function of the extractor type claw (shown in blue on the diagram) that has to grip and hold the groove behind the case rim during the feed cycle. Just as extractors can slip off this area during the recoil cycle, this introduces a new possibility for the same type of failure at the magazine feed stage. It may end up working just fine, but to me it violates the KISS principle unless it provides some major advantage that I'm missing that makes it worthwhile.

It looks like a neat little gun with a serviceable cartridge.

I'll be looking for range reports on it.
