Foldy-Glock: The Full Conceal M3D (History and Shooting) (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-10-18 11:00:05 +0000 UTCFull 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.

wondering how much COVID had to do with the failure. Anything that changed at that time was dicey at best. unfortunate.

1 advantage the FG Foldy Glock has over a number of it's competition is it takes Glock mags. Though for a person who's carrying an Glock 17, 20, 21, 22 I'm thinking they're probably going to go with the smaller form factor version from Glock. It is really cool mechanically.
