Is the G 36 the odd man out bastardized child?   Why do I find myself wanting one?   Anybody got one?

I really want one, I think it's so cool and slim yet a .45. Second in line is the G42 in .380

I have a Blue Label 36. Haven't had any problem with it. Still big compared to other subcompact 45s. I tend to carry the 43 more due to the size.

Took mine to the range today.  Managed to pretty much keep all shots on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper at 20 yards.  No malfunctions in 15 years, except once when I added +1 magazine adapters; a plan I quickly abandoned.  G36 is easier to conceal than a G19.

I wish someone would produce a 10 round "back up" magazine for me to carry with it.

The Glock 30S kind of made the 36 pointless.

They still making it?  Or did the Gen 4 kill it?

I still see them occasionally... one sitting in the case at a gun shop about 5 miles from me as of yesterday.

I've never had a overwhelming desire to have any of the single stack pistols. I like the fact that with double stacks,
I can interchange mags. I may get a 43/36 at some point. I do have a 30g4, so I never had the desire to get the 30S.
I may get one of those prior to the single stacks. But, I don't carry .45's. Use to long ago. I even bought a couple .357's (31/33)
but, quickly figured out I like 9mm's, .45's and 10mm's.

I thought I would like .357 over .40. Nope. Single stacks, meh. I'll take a 26 over a 43 and the 30g4 over 36.

I've got the 30s and the 36. Completely different firing experience/handling, recoil and just about everything else. I love the 36. I'd really like to find a plus one grip extension for it.

Did you install the wolf enhanced spring with the plus one? I've read you can expect misfires/malfunctions unless you enhance the mag spring on the 36. Where did you find a plus one extension?

I enjoyed mine for the 6 years I carried it.  I too found that the 36 is easier to conceal than the 19.  I don't have the 36 no more but I did feel that it was the odd man out.  Most of Glock parts are not interchangeable with the 36 and the sights are not like most others as well.   The recoil was more than what I'm used to, but that is what's expected with a compact .45

I need a .45 in the size of a 19/23.

Very nice. I picked up a Scherer but they get terrible reviews. If it doesn't work out I'll drop the change on one of these.
Appreciate the link.
