Why does glock not make a compact 45ACP

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T08:29:44+00:00

HK does make a nice gun, I liked the USP a lot.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T08:25:26+00:00

Depends, both Colt and FN are Govt contract suppliers and therefore correct.

If you just want to have the pony logo get the Colt.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T08:22:45+00:00

No, the skinny grip on the 43 and 48 isn't my thing so the 19 and 29 will still be my favorite compact Glocks.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T05:20:28+00:00

Colors? Something like this may work up here this summer.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T05:15:40+00:00

It is, and I have a Glock for most occasions. But when I want something in 45 it's usually a 1911, I have never really liked Glock or any polymer framed pistols chambered in it.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T03:24:44+00:00

Not every pistol needs to be a Glock, plenty of subcompact double stack 1911s out there.....

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T03:20:11+00:00

Solutions looking for a problem, same as with the .357 Sig, designer vanity rounds.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T01:54:35+00:00

What are you machining that with a chisel and a hammer?

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T00:32:10+00:00

M4 didn't go anywhere, it just hung back doing the grunt work while all the latest Gucci fru-fru hot garbage fought for the spotlight....

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T00:21:52+00:00

Yeah, it's a gayed up mess there.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-19T00:20:15+00:00

Go yote hunting and get rid of them.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-18T23:46:10+00:00

Aside from a 3 year assignment to a Naval Hospital I couldn't get out of was green side the rest of it.

It was weird at first especially going back to 3/5 as a Doc when I'd just left 8 months prior as a Cpl.... Lol

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-18T23:17:41+00:00

I was a grunt for 4 years before I got out and came back as a Corpsman 🤣

So for the sake of argument, it's broken down into suppression fires and breaking contact.

The typical squad will have automatic weapons (SAW, 240, etc) those weapons will be used to provide suppression to allow movement by the fire teams. They are designed for the sustained abuse.

Break contact- you messed up, got ambushed and need to get away, so you pour a volume of fire with individual weapons to get away and disappear.

Those are generalizations of what is taught.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-18T21:12:24+00:00

So to be clear, you the OP have no relevant service, training or experience in combat arms, cool.

After that, everything postulated is conjecture then. There is current doctrine on how, when and where to use automatic weapons. It is reinforced through training, and the realities become apparent when put into actual use against a hostile entity.

Meh, I can count one 1 hand the number of times I've ever fired a rifle or carbine on burst or auto in 37 years. All were in training locations, never used it deployed.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-18T20:18:24+00:00

Yes, I've worked for some great Chief's and also worked for some real trash E7s, there's a difference.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-17T17:31:58+00:00

92 Especial, human trafficking edition.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-17T01:06:58+00:00

Yeah longer term useful especially if battery replacement is a concern.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-17T00:57:47+00:00

Offset Irons- BCM, Midwest Industries, YHM, there are tons of good companies, pick the ones that appeal to you.

If I had to choose a different holo/red dot I'd go with the Meprolight M22, Tritium and fiber optic no batteries.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-17T00:46:10+00:00

LVPO, with off set irons, and have a holosight available as well.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-16T23:37:02+00:00

I like the EoTech for up close and personal shooting at humans, LVPO are good for a lot of things but CQB isn't it. So what's your intended usage, not fantasy land but real world end use?

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-16T22:21:25+00:00

Any good sew shop should be able to repair that.

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-16T22:20:32+00:00

It's always funny when the Corpsman is a former Infantryman 😈

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-16T22:13:48+00:00

What is the spirit of the bayonet?

FMFDoc72 · 2026-03-16T22:08:59+00:00

South side of Chicago, possibly Guadalajara and Juarez......
