My full size has the integrated rail so that lasers and taclights can be added, but the slide is too narrow to effectively screw on a suppressor, imo. I have never seen one at least on a Glock.
My HK USP 45, on the other hand, can easily accomodate the suppressor. The threaded barrel extends well past the action of the slide, and is suprisingly well balanced. The key with most suppressors imo, is subsonic ammo.
Didn’t know about the Class 3 thing. Starke tells me that a short-barreled shotgun is only a five dollar transfer fee. I think it has to come that way from the manufacturer, though; you can’t just take a hacksaw to any old shotgun.
Glock has an extended, threaded barrel for the larger frame pistol to accomidate a supressor. There was some thingie that needed to be added in the mechanism so that it would cycle properly, otherwise you got one shot and had to run the slide by hand.
Range Report: Glock 26 and Kel-Tec P-11 (Baby 9 mms)
Kel-Tec P-11 The P11 has three things going for it: size, weight, and price. Cost is around $250, which is amazing for a 9 mm. Granted, it doesn’t look expensive, either, but it’s a lot of gun for the money….

Can you get a high capacity mag for that?

Well, the glock fullsize mags will fit them. But the gun is designed with a 10 round mag (both civilian and LE versions).

Very nice, but maybe one day you’ll get a real gun. Made in America. 😉

Tactical Tupperware.
Functional, but not esthetically pleasing.
But hey, some people like the Unimog, too.

I had a mini Glock 29 in 10mm. That small frame was punishing, so I went to fullsize. I bet a .45 would be more controllable.

Do you have to have any modifications other than an extended barrel if you add a suppressor?
I remember somehting needed to be added to the large frame Glocks so that they would cycle properly if you used a supressor on them.

Dunno about any modifications needed for a suppressor. But now that TN has shall issue class three, maybe i ought to get one.
