.45 GAP: 18,000

... many GAPS were virtually given away by Glock in order to get them in the hands of as many LE purchasing agents as possible, so while only 18,000 are listed as sold, there could in fact be twice as many in circulation.

be interesting to see other industry sales figures.

This is with reference to 2006, and the approximate 318,000 Glocks sold throughout the country. For the first time ever, the .40 outsold the 9 mm, and for 2007 Glock expects the .45 caliber lineup to exceed 50,000 units sold, and if the G-21SF becomes popular, Glock is considering "slimming" the 10 mm line down as well. For 2007, Glock is predicting an upsurge in 357 SIG sales, but still doesn't expect to sell more than 30,000 or thereabouts, depending of course on how many additional LE agencies can be converted. Glock still doesn't know if SIG sales will be at the expense of the 40, 9 mm, from new LE customers, or if it will eat into any of the other calibers at all.

Also, many GAPS were virtually given away by Glock in order to get them in the hands of as many LE purchasing agents as possible, so while only 18,000 are listed as sold, there could in fact be twice as many in circulation. Add SIG to the list of sales versus actual guns in leather. Glock could easily have floated 30,000 freebies into the country, and the good part about this is the fact that retired LE weapons usually wind up at pawn shops or in the USED aisle at gun stores, and for the shooting consumer, the more the merrier.

All of the above numbers were related to me by a Glock rep in Smyrna, Georgia. This is someone who has always been spot-on before, so I have no reason to doubt him, plus the sales figures jibe with what the industry had estimated.

Glad to hear the 357Sig is on the rise.....Haven't finished changing over all my G 40cals to sig357 yet, but I'm close......It would be interesting to see how they would trim down the 10mm.....I think the G29 is awesome....and the G30 Glock's best......
Now if only Steyr can get the marketing savy of Starbuck's..... :lol:
