Foldy-Glock: The Full Conceal M3D (History and Shooting) (Ad-free)

Full Conceal was a company that designed a folding Glock. The intent was to create a pistol that could be easily, discreetly, and safely carried in a pocket but still offer the handing and capability of a full size service pistol. They did this by cutting off the grip of a Glock 19 (M3D) or Glock 43 (M3S) and rebuilding it with a hinged trigger guard. An extended magazine could be then carried parallel to the barrel, folded up to render the trigger safe and giving it the profile of a big cell phone instead of pistol. The M3D and M3S were shown as prototypes at SHOT 2017 and began shipping in early 2018. In October 2020 the company filed for bankruptcy and in June 2021 its assets were sold at auction. The problem was that the guns were simply too expensive for their target market. The company tried to reduce costs by developing their own slides and frame instead of using commercial Glocks, but this was too little too late to save them financially.

When I hear “drop a gun in a pocket” my 1st thought is get whichever gun you’re most familiar/comfortable with (which will fit in your pocket) get a proper pocket holster for it which covers the trigger, and use it. I get the idea of this folding making it print like a box vs a pistol. However, you can achieve the same effect by building out the pocket holster, say with a pouch for a spare magazine, to make it look less like a pistol. This would not physically change the pistol at all and would be a WHOLE LOT cheaper.

What is it like, compared with a mid-size Glock? You said it was shooting noticeably low, after the third challenge of the competition.
