Why doesn't this gun exist?

[Onetwo]

Newbie here.
Can someone explain to me why a gun like this doesn't exist?

Essentially a Glock (as per this example), with a long barrel (18 inches say), a stock, and a charging handle similar to a Ruger 10/22 on the side.

Thus removing the massive weight of the bolt head and bolt, and instead using what Glock already has to fire a round.

Also, if you own a Kel-tec Sub2k then you know how much force is needed to bring back the operating handle in order to compress the recoil spring. If you use the mechanism a Glock pistol has and just extend a handle off the slide, surely that would work fine and would be significantly more ergonomic, and weigh significantly less.

Problem?

A glock with a long barrel, and stock.

This should be interesting

So every time you fire a round the entire action ( including the stock) slides back to chamber the next round? Pretty hard to shoulder that firearm.

... it's a solution without a problem.

HK makes fine semi-auto carbines, if you like central European manufacturing.

Glock makes fine semi-auto pistols.

If you like the idea of a Glock and a a shoulder brace, Roni (?) makes a great kit that you can plug your Glock into.

Yep /thread. Thanks for answering

How about, because you are using a Glock lower it is restricted.

 

[blaxsun]

$1k+ for this kit, stock and a Glock 17 -or- a non-restricted JR Carbine. Hmmm... In terms of kits you have your choice of the CAA Roni, Hera Arms GCC or Triarii.

 

[driller212]

so are you asking if the sub 2000 exists>>???

I am horribly confused and laughing my ass off right now. (no offense to the OP)

As stated above something similar does exist. Better question to ask is why would anyone want to buy one.

 

[UCSPanther]

Just get a kel-tec sub 2000 that can take glock mags...

 

[chemo]

what about this?

 

[Scarheart]

Yeah, and why doesn't this exist:

Oh man I want one!

 

[easysauce]

because if I wanted a long barreled pistol I would buy a rifle/carbine?

Let me know when someone starts making the HALO NEEDLER, I'll take two.
