So unless you figured a way to modify your old 10mm magazine to lock into place in the new SF frame, your 10mm SF project would come screeching to a halt.

You still can, however, send a G-20 off to Robbie Barrkman and have him do his grip reduction package on it.

CHAPTER 18

The Glocks in .45 ACP and .45 GAP

Americans are in love with the .45. Since the introduction of the Colt Single Action army in 1873, a .45 caliber handgun has been considered by many to be the ultimate in defensive handgun equipment. There have always been contenders. When Colt was selling revolvers like pancakes at a charity breakfast, the .45 Colt chambering was the biggest seller. The second and third places went to the .44-40 and .38-40 cartridges, and those two together did not sell as many revolvers as the .45 Colt did.

When the US Army was looking in the early twentieth century to replace its revolvers with pistols, the then-recent brief experiment with the .38 Colt cartridge convinced them that they wanted to stick with a .45 caliber cartridge. That insistence caused all kinds of headaches for Georg Luger, who found he just couldn’t make his design work in .45. The testing board even went so far as to let him use his own ammunition, rather than the test ammo loaded at the Frankfort Arsenal that all the other contestants had to use. He still couldn’t make it work and gave up. The other would-be service pistol designs also could not be made to work, and so it fell to Colt to provide the Army with a new service sidearm.

Since the .45 isn’t a proprietary round from one of Glock’s competitors, Glock marks its guns with More than a simple “.45.”
