[QUOTE="druryj, post: 1626614, member: 10465"] 1. [U]Two of the all-time favorites for CCW were the S&W 3913 and the HK P7[/U] (and other similar model numbers in those series). Any time you see a review or comment, or one of these comes available, people give them glowing reports. [U]So, why did S&W and HK quit making them? [/U] 2. [U]Why isn't Glock going to make a single stack 9mm?[/U] I say that it is NOT so much the often heard argument about "They already have such a large market share with what they produce now..." as it is based on a key design feature: I think the Glock's MAGAZINE design prevents it from being made to [I]anywhere near[/I] the thiness of guns such as the Kahr series of single stack 9mm pistols. Sure, they have the Glock 36, but it is 1.13" wide as compared to the Glock 19/23/32 at 1.18''. That's not much...and the width of the Glock 21/30 is 1.28"; if I recall correctly.
