It still has the Glock 19 grip length, with 15 rounds magazines. The barrel seems slightly longer than a standard glock 19 barrel. How long is this new barrel ? Or perhaps I'm just mistaken.

So with the 46, Glock wants to take some shares of the German LE market.
BTW, according to the article, the Glock 46 is a law enforcement exclusive for the foreseeable future. But like the M and the MHS, I feel like it may change at some point.
Yes. The German police are looking for new pistols to better address both small and large hand police officers. They also want larger magazine capacity and guns with good grip design,not too light to be a challenge to shoot and not too heavy for times when the officer may have weapon in hand for a longer time. They also considered Sig P320, Walther PPQ and H&K SFP9 in earlier part of evaluating the choices. The H&K P7 M8 production stopped in 2008 and so getting guns for increasing number of officers and spare parts is more challenging. They also want more capacity than 8+1.
In reading between the lines it looks like they are addressing several issues with terrorism being a factor.

They had had it at IWA
Its a PPQ with a hell of a heavy trigger.
Picked it uo. Pulled trigger once. Put it down.
Welcome to Africa, bring a hardhat.
Unless the whole project is scrapped, this thing will make it to the commercial market for sure. I'd bet that unless there's some catastrophic design flaw that Glock will try to recoup development costs by selling them commercially even if they don't get adopted because they know people will go nuts for anything Glock. I mean, I'm already kinda hoping they do.
