I said rifle. I have no use for a pistol-caliber carbine. If I'm going to lug something larger than a pistol, I want the power to climb exponentially.
They may also announce that their .380 pistols will now be available to the US.

Definitely will be in some NATO rifle caliber. Most likely 5.56
Glock To Expand Georgia Plant
The Associated Press
Manufacturing.Net - August 03, 2010
SMYRNA, Ga. (AP) --The Smyrna City Council says gun manufacturer Glock can go ahead with plans to expand its Smyrna assembly facility.
Some area residents objected to the expansion plan for the assembly plant, but the council voted 7-0 in favor of it Monday night.
Glock wants to construct four new buildings on 18 acres.
Some residents say they're concerned the expansion would significantly increase the chances of flooding of their homes from surface runoff.
Cobb Chamber of Commerce Chairman Rob Garcia spoke in favor of the proposal, saying it could bring up to 100 jobs to the area.
Opponents say they plan to appeal.
Watch them announce that they're making the Glock 7. I'd LOL IRL.
Now that was funny.
A glock made 1911.... Sacrilege.
This.
Def interesting if they come out with a cheap 5.56 that polymer. Even smarter if it has a $700-900 tag, but that seems a bit unlikely.
They could sell them for 3K and people with still buy them up.
Hmmm. I haven't seen any mention of a .22 to compete with either the Ruger 10/22 or the Ruger MkIII and Browning Buckmark pistols. Heck even a .22 "AR" rifle like the one S&W has.
Kahr arms would probably disagree with that statement. If they don't sell, then why did Walther bother making a gun to try to get it into that market? There must be some demand, otherwise Kahr would be out of business (half of what they sell is single stack 9mm's) and Walther wouldn't have made the PPS.
If Glock made a single stack subcompact 9mm (eg, to compete with the PM9) it would sell like mad.

+1M on that! I would love a glock version of my PM9, or .40 for that matter.
Also, I'm not sure what the Glock would have over the Kahr (except price).
bullet proof reliability. better magazines.
Dang, I will be on the plane en-route at that time.
This is part of what they have up their sleeves:

Gonna be making something it looks like....
You might want to try a PM40 before you say that.

A modern, modular, plastic bodied rifle (think SCAR) for less than $1000 retail (not MSRP) would have Glock owning the carbine market lock, stock, and barrel.
My bet is on some sort of carbine or rifle. Because it makes market sense.
Every other manufacturer has worked to flesh out their product line so they could sell to law enforcement. Many agencies want one stop shopping. If they buy pistols from you - they want to buy rifles from the same source. It's why Smith and Wesson came out with the M&P AR15's. It's why Sig is building AR's now. Beretta makes carbines - so they can complement their pistols, etc.
I don't know what Glock could do in the carbine world that would be as revolutionary as their pistols were when they came - guess we'll have to wait and see.

I just got the inside scoop on the big press coference. The word out is that Glock is putting the "Sliderlock" safety on all it's new guns.
