Why wouldn’t Glock make a compact 9mm? Because they don’t have to. The Austrian gunmaker’s American arm is selling everything Gaston’s mob makes. OK, maybe not the Glock 36 single stack .45. But as borepatch.blogspot.com reports from a chance encounter with a Glock marketing maven, the Austrian armorer has a year’s worth of production—some 1.2m guns—on backorder. That’s with its current factories running at 100 percent capacity. In other words, even if Glock wanted to make the handgun that everyone and their mother would buy, they can’t. Not in sufficient quantities to meet demand. Not without slowing production on other models already in production. In financial terms, what would be the point of that? Why spend the money to design, test and re-tool if you don’t have to? Only one factor could change that short term: a huge military contract. Or a desire to promote the brand. Watch this space. And hope for a change. So to speak. [h/t Thomas Paine]
With the country plugged in to Honey Boo Boo and the Kardashians, even if this saw some MSM airtime people will just be like, WTF? And go right back to killing brain cells.
If Im going to go with a single stack, Id prefer a metal frame. I can shoot with just my strong hand alone and two handed with my off hand just fine but single hand with my off hand? Lets just say Id rather have a little extra weight
Looks like the second guy, Paul D. Eaton Major General, US Army(Ret), missed the memo on the purpose of the video. In his first appearance he said “guns in the right hands protect us”. While he was most likely refering to the police, he was extremely vague. Another interesting thing is that they seem to say that guns only belong on battlefields and I always thought MAIG had a soft spot for police when it came to guns.
I have never really cared for Cabelas. Their prices are high and I have had very few good experiences with their customer service. The few times recently I have gone into the store I seem to get the condescending jerkwod of an associate. I have had just to many bad experiences with them to give them any of my money.
This is the tactic. Even though I’m not much of a fan of Colin Powell, his “Powell Doctrine” applies. Overwhelming force. Especially at the local level where a few hundred gun-rights advocates can really send the graboids fleeing.
Who doesn’t love a good ham sandwich?!?
Sucker.

Happened to me with some 5.7 ammo; my order was at the beginning of December. I know who I will never do business with again.
Im not one to support suing over every little thing that goes against a person but these teachers and schools really need to be silenced somehow. This bull&hit is fv@%ing rediculous.
Good god, we need school vouchers right now.
They don’t even try to explain to little kids why their actions are wrong (not that this kid had actually done anything bad) they just suspend kids. How is this teaching or education? It’s a complete abdication of responsibility for the very thing they’re paid to do.
I ask this again and again… and I never get an answer: when adults charged with shaping the minds of children behave this way, how is there possibly any hope for children?
Every day another thing like this happens that convinces me that sending your child to public school is tantamount to child abuse.
Tar and feathers. That’s probably the answer.
Obviously the progressive plan is to instill a fear of firearms into America’s youth through indoctrination and intimidation in the public schools. Red state governors and legislators need to bring this to heel in their states.
Parent should have asked to see the offending pastry, bit the ends off it and said “I don’t see no stinkin’ gun!”
Actually, as a parent asking to see it would be the first thing I’d want and a lawyer would be next if they couldnt produce it
Yes, Mr. Diaz, we have allowed too many constitutional rights to be infringed and diluted already. Yes, there are some 2nd amendment defenders who’ve been blase about dilutions of other rights, because they haven’t been hurt by those dilutions (yet), but 2nd amendment failure hits them personally. This is understandable but unfortunate.
The solution isn’t to get rid of all rights to be “fair”. It’s to kick the enforcement of our other rights, as well.
And it’s not like the 2nd Amendment has been defended all that well, historically. Look how long it took to get a case before the Supreme Court to actually have them confirm that yes, the right is an individual right — Heller was, if I remember right, the very first one, in way over 200 years. Yet the right to bear arms has been infringed from the very beginning.
Welcome to know the fascist Nazi mind set of liberal Democrat scum!!!!
Can New York get renamed?
To New Hell?
Imagine if there was a shortage of gas. There would be long lines. People would be angry. There might even be (shudder) fistfights. OMG!
Oh, wait. I don’t have to imagine. I lived through the Arab boycotts.
The thing about the gungrabbers is that if something goes wrong in the gun community, they’ll publicize the hell out of it. If nothing goes wrong in the gun community, the gungrabbers just make sh!t up and publicize the hell out of it. Liars gotta lie.
Escape is possible.
Wallets! Wallets! Don’t use them for anything NY. Let them rot on the vine. Same for CA (no more wine) and all of the other anti-Constitution/Bill of Rights state governments.
I am more than willing to pay more for the same product from any of the pro-Bill of Rights states.
I was born and raised in NYC and lived there until I was 35. When I moved out, NYC was Mogadishu on the Hudson and I was thrilled to see it in my rear view mirror..
I have great affection for the upstate areas that I roamed as a kid with a Nylon .22 and spinning gear, and as an adult with a .30-’06 and a fly rod. The upstate areas were never controlled by the type of fascists that run the downstate areas, but Governor Mussolini has taken the whole state into the crapper. I have friends in the city and they want me to visit, but I’m not going. Ever.
Bravo. You wrote what I wished I’d had the time to research and refute. Thank you, Bruce Krafft, for taking your time to do that.
Had a backorder into Cabelas for 9mm, got a recent email stating the same “let us know if you still want the order in 10 days or we’ll cancel it”. I sent a email to Customer Service asking them to renew the backorder. They responded immediately that they would renew the backorder, no argument.
The argument for a single stack 9mm is concealment. A basic Glock is thicker than anything I want to wear IWB. A 1911 fits well but is overly long, and even in commander weight is an issue. Thus the polymer single stack pocket 9’s. As they say, the first rule is have a gun. There are times when the choice narrows to either baking under a cover up garment, not carrying, or carrying something a bit smaller and lighter than is ideal, I choose the latter.
