Well, i know it makes no sense, but since i started back in 1996 and got my first Glock Annual i have longed for a Glock 28 .380.(and even the G25). I remember the disappointment when i found out that they were only available in Europe. Not anymore. My buddy at a local FFl texted me today and said they got a couple in. They are now made in GA so the import ban does not apply. Nobody knows if this will be a limited run or permanent production item so i went down and picked one up. I had heard the internet rumor that they might become available in the states so when i got the text the rumor was confirmed.
The power to size crowd will be indifferent, but I am a Glock fan and just like fun easy shooting guns. Enter the G28.
First off it is NOT blow back with a fixed barrel which for years folks seemed to think it was. With the exception of the funky barrel hood it looks identical to a G26 internally when the slide comes off.
Second, its a little lighter than a G26 according the specs although i have not weighed it.
Lastly, I put 50 rounds of Sig 95 grain FMJ, 20 rounds of underwood extreme penetrator 90 grain (which is my G42 carry ammo) and 20 rounds of Hornady 90 grain XTP hollow points. Perfect function and very accurate with all loads.
Its definitely over built for a .380 and i notice that the ejection is week with weaker ammo but way better with hotter stuff. I would have shot more but it was the only .380 I happened to have on hand.
Fun and real easy to shoot. It will give the new full size .380 line up (the EZ Shield, Beretta 80X, etc.. ) a run for the money if Glock keeps them in production.
The only issue was the mag was real hard to fill with 10 rounds. 9 was easy but the 10th not so much. I think that may be an issue because normal capacity is 15 in free states and when they went to 10 it probably needs to loosen up.
Any way it was a long wait but i really like it.
