As an aside, Glock makes "small" guns (a .380 for instance), they just can't import them to the US because of the "point system" regulating foriegn, imported firearms.austinrealtor wrote:If nothing else, maybe this plus the PPS will convince Glock to get off the fence and make a single stack 9mm/.40-cal super-sub-compact (basically a slim Baby Glock).

If a pistol doesn't get 75 "points" it can't be legally imported AND the smaller a gun gets the less opportunity it has to get enough "points." I've heard that for many models Glock actually imports them with cheap click adjustable sights which are then swapped stateside just to get a few more points.
