After over two decades, the Glock 28 is finally coming to the American market, thanks in part to TALO Distributors. TALO is a wholesale buying group that worked with Glock to bring the .380 ACP chambered Glock 28 to the US market, thanks to Glock’s manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Georgia.
Similar in size to the 9mm Glock 26, the Glock 28 was previously ineligible for import into the US based on the point system that is required for pistol imports. The system awarded points based on several criteria points, such as caliber and size. For around 26 years, the G28 was a rarity in America with only a few stateside probably from law enforcement department purchases. But that changes now.
The newly available Glock 28 pistol is a double stack sub-compact that looks like the 9mm Glock 26. It appears to have the same frame size as the Glock 26, with only a slightly different barrel beveling and look. With the .380 ACP caliber, shooters will experience lower recoil making it easier to control for more accurate shooting.
The 3.4” barreled Glock 28 weighs an ounce less than the G26, at just 20.64 ounces unloaded. With a shared frame size with the G26, it looks like the G28 will be compatible with those holsters for an added bonus. Additionally, the smaller size makes it an ideal concealed carry pistol able to fit in smaller holsters.
The 10-round G28 magazines are said to have fencing on the rear of them for a tactile option to help it differentiate between those and then larger caliber 9mm counterparts without looking. Initial reporting states that the .380 ACP Glock 28 is super fun to shoot and is extremely accurate with the right ammunition. Think personal protection loads.
The Glock 28 is said to be available in limited numbers with a supply happening over the next few months to the TALO distribution network. No set word on pricing for the G28 just yet, but it is rumored to have an MSRP of around $500
