Folding Glock?

[Abilene Slim SASS 81783]

Featured in this month's American Rifleman. Seems like a gimmick, not to mention precious time lost deploying the thing.

What's its purpose? IWB, OWB, appendix carry, shoulder holster... none of those work well enough?

 

If you want to carry a Glock in your pocket, get one of the many Glocks offered now that will serve that role and use it with a proper pocket carry holster. Done.

 

I'm voting for gimmick.

Howdy,

Take another look at that trigger.

Would you bet your life it would work right?

I'll stick with my regular G19.

[Charlie Harley, #14153]

Not for me.

Answer to a question, that was never asked.

Yeah, because in a crisis situation, accessing threat level, deciding to draw down, un-holstering, acquiring target, determining background, taking aim, and squeezing the trigger, is nowhere near enough to worry about.  Let's throw in a quick "assemble firearm" step!  IDIOTS!

What can possibly go wrong?  )))

They've actually been out for awhile and I handled one at a local gun shop. They're just as bizarre as the pictures indicate. About the only "cool" thing about it is that you can stick a 33-round mag in it, fold it up and end up with something you can stick in a backpack that looks and feels like a folded camera tripod.

These things are everywhere in California...Just ask any wannabe politician or media moron...

[Utah Bob #35998]

The only possible use I can think of for that would be in a shtf bag or survival kit where space might be limited. Otherwise just useless.

And 33 9mm rounds are, well 33 only 9 mm rounds.

 

ok or 40 s&w.

If these guys think having a PMag with their toy gives it any credence they really don’t have a clue.

 

I was finally able to look at the link on my iPhone. My work PC is very restricted.

Same thought sprung into my head when I saw it!

Just clicking around on their website.  For a mere $499 they would happily take your existing Glock and cut it apart for you and convert it to one of these "beauties"!

[July Smith]

Concealed carry is all about compromise and finding what balance between weight, size and power works best for each individual.  I am sure a folding Glock appeals to some, and might even be practical for a very select niche market.  Putting together "BUG Out" or "SHTF" bags is sort of popular now and the idea of being able to put a fairly compact yet still full sized pistol in one of these kits might appeal to some.   The concept of a "take-down" or folding model is nothing new.  All that said, the folding Glock as a concealed carry gun is not for me, I see it as a bad idea on par with carrying a gun with an empty chamber.

Must hurt like a sunny beach when you pinch yourself in that.
