I have people ask me all the time about when Glock will release a single stack 9mm. This is my answer/opinion;
While Glock is concerned just as any other company with their customer service, the fact is they are a business. Businesses can not survive without critical thinking. That is why, despite the overwhelming demand for a single stack 9mm, they gave us the single stack .380 (model 42) instead.
It would have been a poor decision from a business standpoint to release the 9mm version first. If they had done the 9mm first, there would have been almost zero demand for the .380 later on. They have made a killing off the .380 now, the 9mm will follow shortly, when the sales level out with the 42. I imagine that most folks who bought the 42's will spring for the 9mm when it is released.
Personally, I am waiting out for the 9mm. Hopefully it won't be too long
