Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns GLOCK G48 - Chambered in .40 S&W.

Is it just me?

A slim, light weight, 8+1 (12+1? w/ metal mags) 4" Bbl'ed compact GLOCK .40 Cal. EDC pistol.


S&W has one that's close, in their Performance Center.



... but it's 6+1, essentially the same as the GLOCK slimline G36 .45 ACP.



Waiting, since 1993.

I have a bunch of .40 s/w brass but ….no pistola.

been looking hard at the S/W Performance Center,

Or a Tisas 1911 goyernment model in .40 s/w

Don't believe it will happen.
Looking at how the 22/23 got beefed-up for Gen5, I seriously doubt a slimline will be built in .40.

My brother had a Shield just like the picture above and sold it about a month ago. He said it was not a lot of fun to shoot, "just too snappy"
I never shot it.

I know we love to split hairs.

I'd just roll with a Glock 23, and not feel like I was missing out on a thing.

Yep. Or better yet the M&P 2.0 Compact.

I had a 48. Sold it and stayed with a 43 for church and 19 for everywhere else.

I shot a Kahr polymer 40 S&W (they're slim) many years ago and found it slightly objectionable to shoot.

(and that was the same point in my shooting life that I was regularly shooting nasty 500 Linebaugh loads and 454 stuff, so it came as a bit of a surprise that I didn't like the recoil of the 40 Kahr)



I really do want a G48 though, but have zero use or reason for it. I was thinking I could put and RMR on it, then my "reason" would be I don't own a centerfire auto pistol with a dot. Just have to get creative with your excuses.

Springfield EMP is pretty nice.

Not necessarily so.

For one thing, RE: EDC/IWB carry?

Grip size:


... And the associate carry weight and balance.
