Last weekend I brought news of the rumored new addition to the Glock line of safe action polymer framed handguns that included two possibilities: one, of a fabled single stack 9mm that had circulated among the online rumor mills, and a second of a long-slide 10mm hunter model. Well, it seems that the scales have tilted this week towards the latter being more correct.

On Christmas Eve, the fine folks over at Triangle Tactical posted rumint from Weddles Gun Shop in Campbellsville, Kentucky of a possible new optics ready long-slide Gen 4 pistol from Glock, chambered in 10mm. In other words, a beefier version of the G20 (which is puny already, right?) with a target-length barrel.

Well on Jan.2, just over a week after that leak, Kiesler Police Supply, Glock’s official LE distributor for agencies and officers in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota, let the cat out of the bag in a big way by announcing on their Facebook page that the new “Hunter” model 40 would soon be available.

No specs just yet, but it looks like a G35 on steroids–with a Trijicon RMR mounted.

Once again, the drumbeat of a new offering from Glock that could turn the gun industry (or at least polymer fan boys) on its head is starting to be heard. This December, it seems that rumbles of a new model Glock, dubbed the 40, which by the way is not in .40S&W caliber, are the tune of the season.

Rumint #1

A number of the more popular firearms related Tumblr and reddit feeds have circulated an image that has stirred controversy without much of source as to where it came from. The image, which looks all the world like it was lifted from an actual Glock catalog or webpage, is of a new “Model 40” pistol that is (wait for it) a single-stack 9mm compact gun. In other words, what everyone wanted this year’s new Model 42 .380ACP carry gun to be.

But, on further analysis, this rumor may be just that…but the other rumor looks more legit.
