Word is GEN 4 is only an option, GEN 3 is still going to be produced.

PT1911 · December 17, 2009, 03:12 PM

That is pretty neat.. I may have to take a look when they come available... it is inevitable that I will eventually get a Glock, but I am fighting it the whole way... maybe these will open the door for me.

hmmm the smallest back strap looks exactly like the gen 3 grip size. i don't think this is going to stop S&W m&p's from plowing through the LE market.

not sure i like that enormous mag release either (and i have small hands!)

That's it?!

Radical change! (Not...)

HoosierQ · December 17, 2009, 03:41 PM

Not much of a change even from my 1991 Gen 2 G17. Probably works pretty good though.

No more cheese grater grips. I might actually consider a glock now.

Oldnoob · December 17, 2009, 05:21 PM

The grip texture is exactly what I want for the RTF. Though the grip didn't seem to be much smaller. To be honest, as a glock fan, I'm a bit disappointed. I really don't think the grip width was the problem, but the "cut" on the corners make it blocky. If they make it more of angular shape like Steyr M-A1, they can get away with the blocky grip.

interchangable backstrap = copout

C-grunt · December 17, 2009, 06:11 PM

There's more to it than just the grips.

Well, it's still ugly, so that's good.

valor1 · December 17, 2009, 07:46 PM

That's it??? The ugliness is still there. Speaking of innovation.

trekgod3 · December 18, 2009, 08:02 AM

I thought the Glock RTF was the gen 4?

RTF= Rough textured frame, also has new slide serrations. That pic in the first post seems a little fishy, because Glock doesn't refer to their own guns by "generation", so why would the slide be marked "gen 4"?

nwilliams · December 18, 2009, 08:06 AM

WOW!

That's so radically different at first I wasn't sure if it was really a Glock.

Just One Shot · December 18, 2009, 09:12 AM

Yep, still ugly!

(Yes, I own a Glock)

REAPER4206969 · December 18, 2009, 10:36 AM

Rough texture frame two (RTF2) is a 3rd GEN option. RTF is the standard 2nd/3rd GEN frame, and the new GEN 4 has RTF3.

Landric · December 18, 2009, 01:19 PM

Looks like photoshop city to me. Look at the size of the magazine release, it looks like a poor cut and paste job. Even if it turns out to be the actual gun, its not too impressive. Glock finally decides to go with interchangeable back straps, only about a decade late.

CWL · December 18, 2009, 01:20 PM

"Perfection" needs different generations?

Whoever they used to come up with that marketing copy should be pistolwhipped with that Glock.

It's a scan of the 2010 Glock calendar.

Landric · December 18, 2009, 01:49 PM

Perhaps Glock photoshopped it themselves then. Look at the mag release on the RTF gun pictured and then at the mag release on the gen 4 gun. I understand that the gen 4 is supposed to be reversible, but that doesn't explain how it suddenly became huge. Also, the lack of the goofy RTF slide serrations is suspicious. At any rate I wasn't suggesting that you photoshopped it, the pic has been floating around on the net, so I suspected that someone did.

REAPER4206969 · December 18, 2009, 01:57 PM

The 4th GEN has an enlarged reversible mag catch and standard Glock slide serrations. The picture was scanned by a Glock armorer from the new 2010 Glock annual calendar. People with hands on experience with the GEN 4 from law enforcement expos/demos have confirmed this is real.

Looks like the one I handled. The new grip texture is nice.

What's the deal with the worlds largest mag catch?
