Make a 42-sized variant chambered in .32 Auto that holds 12+ rounds? Imagine how light the slide rack and recoil force would be. It would probably be on par with a .22 blowback. That would be something actually cool that the market currently isn't offering. And don't tell me .32 can't be double stacked, because it has been done before just fine.
>>
>>64995857
You ask this as they work to downsize everything to 9mm only. Itll be a captured market soon, oh what am i saying it already is, but itll be even more of one soon
>>
>>64995857
Doesn't Glock make a 32 variant for some euro or SA country that doesn't allow civies to own "police and military" pistol calibers?
>>
because no one would buy it, just like how no one bought the beretta 80x.
>>
>>64995929
No one bought the BOX CHEETAH because it is hideous and Italian.
>>
>>64995936
and YOU wont buy a glock32 because you'll complain its too expensive or that glock didn't get your telepathic message about the specifics of how you wanted the gun.

EVERY 32acp stan on /k/ is a giant fucking bag of hot air and you will continue to cope with your shitty 200 dollar surplus C&R pistols.
>>
>>64995936
>>64995929
No one bought the "beretta" 80x in .32 because it was solely distributed by langdon tactical for a markup when you can buy a brand new .380 80x and a .32 conversion barrel for less money

If they make it in Austria, it might not have enough points to be imported under the '68 GCA

Why would anyone bother compared to a P365, Hellcat, shield X, etc?

okay :(
>>
>>64996144
None of those are in .32
>>
>>64995857
.32 niggers need to learn their place. .380ACP is the lowest you should go for self-defense.
>>
>>64996600
The data says otherwise. In fact, all things considered, your chambering choice has little to do with how quickly you end a self defense situation. So one should choose the chambering which allows the most shots on target the fastest, which is what really matters, and what is reliable. .32 solves this while dodging the unreliability problem of the .22LR.

>Why doesn't Glock make a ....

You know, I've got a HELL of a lot better question!
Why doesn't glock make a gun that doesn't have that fucked-up grip angle?
SERIOUSLY!
Everyone knows you can get inserts to fix it, but why?
I'd LOVE to love glock, but as a person who's first handgun was my Dad's 1873, then my Grandpa's 1911, I just can't get into the grip angle. The trigger misalignment is not really that bad for me, bud the fucked-up angle is.
NFI how you glockites (sp?) deal with it except you don't know any better.

Also, his heir, kathrin glock, is a fucking loon. And for that reason alone glock should be shunned.
To me it's akin to Browning's heir being gabby giffords.
>>
>>64996600
.32 was literally THE self defense caliber from 1900 till the mod 50s
>>
>>64996533
Okay, and? What is it doing any better by virtue of being in an even more anemic .32 when some many people dont even want to carry a .380?

>>.32 was literally THE self defense caliber from 1900 till the mod 50s
>And THEN what happened?

People got bigger, thicker (fatter), and heavier.
The 38spl handles modern fatasses in a way that the .32 cannot. It expands and hits with a bigger "fist", where the 32 goes deeper.
Fuck, even Tools and Targets own ballistic tests show the same.
Add the fact that .32 is more expensive, why bother.
So if you think you need to shoot twinks, or euros, go with the .32

True but look at the P32 die-hard thread.
After being totally Forever PERMANENTLY BTFO two years ago by Smith & Wesson's tiny-pistol-you-can-actually-wield-and-shoot Bodyguard 2.0 in .380 ACP

Litigation. Survivors would sue the defender. Self defense wasn't about killing people, just putting friendly little holes in them so they would get out of your yard or off your wife. Not murder.

why do you fags love 32 so much

>>64997341
When you stop buying shit products
>>
>>64997622
Because i can put a .32 in my pocket and go on about my day. I'm not a fag that changes how I dress and do things just to carry a gun I will never use. .32 is not .22lr/mag so I will trust it in a semi auto and the recoil is pleasant
>>
>>64996609
>The data says otherwise.
the data says that .380 is better while being barely any bigger
>>
>>64997623
it's just a light bro calm down
>>
>>64997631
>Because i can put a .32 in my pocket and go on about my day
you can already do that with 25, 380, and 9
>>
>>64997652
I was talking about the glock but the light is pretty bad too
>>
>>64997653
You're right. I would also use a .25 if I had one but the .32 is what I bought first. I also have pocket 9s and .380s but I find them unwieldy compared to smaller and easier to shoot mouse gun calibers.

Having a frame mounted safety is also paramount. I don't want you guys to think I am shilling for glock .32s because I am not but for CC 32 is hard to beat

The 25 and 28 were produced in the US for a short time.

Stock Glocks, basic ok-tier lights and a can. Do contrarians really ?
>>
>>64995893
No that was a .380 Glock 25 , eventually the US market did get that Glock 25 , but before that we got the Glock 42.

You cant own 9mm in many countries so thats why Glock made a .380 version for them. I like .32 ACP for what it is, but .380 is just better in every way so I just dont see why they would ever make a .32 ACP version. There is also the rimlock issue with .32 ACP , its just not something anyone is asking for from Glock.
>>
>>64998471
I have three glocks and regret buying them because they shoot worse than everything else is own while also looking retarded.
>>
There's no reason for glock to continue to exist besides marketing to niggers. Their formula has been improved by many other manufacturers. Truth hurts.
>>
>>64995857
Glock hates civilian gun owners almost as much as H&K. You're approaching this wrong.
Start pushing these companies that are pumping out the Glock clones to do an aftermarket thing with the 42.
Also, this is my opportunity to push keltec to make the magic happen.
>>
>>64995857
32 acp is more expensive than 9mm or 380. Your question is dumb and you so are you.

I would almost guarantee your daily driver is a car or a truck (and not, say, a motorcycle with much superior gas mileage) which makes your premise invalid. You also likely eat junk food too, and can justify it because it's less expensive than "real" food.
>>
>>64995857
Give me a reason why .32 auto should even still exist first. There isn't a single person alive who likes it, wants to own a gun in it, or would ever carry/use one chambered in it.

Why the hell would Glock waste their resources producing a gun in a dead dogshit caliber for prostitutes?
>>
>>64999444
>why should X exist
Maybe try /lit/ or /his/ for your philosophy.
In truth, guns are toys, and we don't need to justify why any of them "need" to exist". No guns "need" to exist ever since we stopped hunting animals for food.

>In truth, guns are toys, and we don't need to justify why any of them "need" to exist". No guns "need" to exist ever since we stopped hunting animals for food.

Very gay post ngl. Guns actually do need to exist, but especially when you're talking about a billion dollar company producing something. There has to be a direct need to produce it. Even loss-leaders like Halo Cars are meant to drive business and hype towards a brand.

A Glock is the most utilitarian, un-fun, pragmatic firearm ever produced. It is the definition of "if you need a gun buy this thing". There is no pretense beyond pure need; no one owns a Glock because they
"want" one.
>>
>>64995857
Glock is fucking retarded and a dead brand. If you're still hanging onto those pieces of shit you're living in a bygone era. They have been surpassed in reliability and practicality.
>>
>>64999437
Doing a lot of projecting for a 32 acp fag. Your cartridge is underpowered obsolete overpriced garbage. I own a car and a truck and two motorcycles. What do you run beside your mouth?
>>
>>64999630
Yeah totally dead brand.

>>64999162
>Glock hates civilian gun owners almost as much as H&K

Gaston Glock believed in strict gun control and hated America and Americans.
His surviving trophy wife hates Americans even more.
NFI why Americans still buy that shit.

Boy I can't wait for you figure out what niggers are they go coocoo for glocks as a status symbol

>'muh definition'
>consoom product
That's called branding, it's the main reason (not because it's a good weapon or 'best for the job') Glocks survived and 'dominated' handgun market in the 90s<--that was mostly due to direct marketing to U.S. LE agencies "oh cops use these I gotta have one"
Glock is and always was a marketing campaign to reach the greatest volume of 70-IQ gunsoomers possible. That's it that's all

Those are 19 & 26 sized guns. You’re completely missing the point. One doesn’t jump from LCP to Security 380. The logical step is double stack the 42. It’s practically the same size as P365 or a Hellcat. Making it a bit wider in the grip should be such a stretch in imagination.
>>
>>65001856
>P365
Sig P365 is vastly superior to the 43X. The only thing better with the 43x is ease of loading the mag full by hand only, but since most people use a mag loader that's a non-issue.

They are inferior specifically in the case of Sig Sauer because they import their MIM parts from IndoMIM who has dogshit QC.

Not SA but SEA I believe. Something abou them not liking guns produced out of country so they licensed the manufacturing domestically. I saw a video and tried to find more info but it's not easy.

lol I think your 43 is set up almost exactly like mine, except for mag and slide release.
