Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Glock 28 finally available in the USA?

The Glock 28 is now available in the USA because it is being manufactured domestically at Glock's factory in Smyrna, Georgia. Previously, it could not be imported as it did not meet the ATF's 'points' system for small handguns.

How does the Glock 28 compare to the Glock 26?

The Glock 28 shares the same frame as the Glock 26, meaning it fits the same holsters. While magazines have the same external dimensions, the Glock 28's are internally modified for .380 ACP rounds. The Glock 28 is also approximately one ounce lighter and has significantly less recoil.

What ammunition performed best in the Glock 28?

During testing, Ammo Inc. rounds showed inconsistent groups. However, Fiocchi 99-grain HST personal defense ammunition delivered tight, one-hole groups at 7 yards, indicating it is a reliable choice for the Glock 28.

What are the main drawbacks of the Glock 28?

The primary drawbacks of the Glock 28 are the lack of an MOS (optic-ready slide) version and the absence of an accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers, features common on many modern handguns.
