I think it is Olympic Arms that makes a carbine that accepts glock mags.

Yep,

The real price is much lower than the MSRP.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Tell you what, look up Wilhelm Bubits.
He was a former Glock designer but when he brought his ideas to them, they refused.
Glock does not want to change. Its their call, its their business. 
So Wilhelm went off on his own and went to Steyr and built the M and the MxA1 pistols.
Now he works for Caracal and is producing his 3rd gen pistol.

Glock really missed out on this one. But instead gave opportunity to others.

That's usually how it works. Winchester ignored JMB, and he ended up with FN in Belgium.

Truthfully, I originally thought that Glock's lack of innovation was down the list as to why I won't own a Glock. Then I realized it is the driving reason behind all of the other reasons I won't buy a Glock.
