Do I have to buy all new mags and holsters? *$&@
Oh, I definately think GLOCK is listening to their fanbase-- thats why we get generation 4's. And as denoted by "Gen 4", this isn't their first attempt at redefining "GLOCK Perfection".
The safety features (or lack thereof) is a common complain by people I sell firearms to. Even the addition of the "beavertail" on the Springfield XD has won people over the GLOCK. Personally, I don't like the external safeties, but that's personal preference. The lack of external safeties is one reason Police Departments switched to GLOCK, at least thats what I've heard from LEs around here. There were too many instances of Officers panicking and pulling a safed trigger which got them hurt. So they went to GLOCKS based on the revolver principle-- keep it in a safe area and sqeeze. Kinda like issuing AK47s to illiterate conscripts --no offense to LE, I'm in law enforcement myself but anyone in law enforcement knows half the guys we work with don't know their @$$ from applebutter when it comes to their sidearm.
I'm curious what the benefit of the full picatinny rail is? And will the new glocks fit in old-style holsters? The new GLOCKS in stock do have that additional notch in the mag and operate fine, so will the new generations feed the old style mags? Are these features only on the new .45's or can we see Gen4 GLOCK 17s in our near future? I can only assume so... Obviously this is in response to the explosive popularity of the slim-framed Springfield XD in .45, but how long until we get new variants? I want answers! :banghead:
