CAA Glock Carbine Kit
Published: January 19th, 2009
Command Arms Accessories at SHOT Show had a prototype kit to convert a Glock pistol into a carbine on display. The kit is called the PTP. I have not idea what it stands for. It is a clever design that prevents any chance of the slide hitting the operator on recoil.

It is not quite the carbine glock fanboys have been waiting for 😉
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

"Its the ultimate combat handgun"
JMB already gave us the 1911, Glock holds nothing over that ;)
The concept is a more stable platform with more points of contact than a pistol allowing more accurate and controlled fire. Better than the attachable stocks since it has an adjustable stock and enough rail to attach any optics you might need. all that without purchasing another firearm. Sure, you could buy another Glock for that price, but it's just as high speed/low drag as two Glocks! :p
Any Glock is going to put any 1911 to shame 10/10 times.
