At least one local department has an order in for the new pistols. Word is they will ship relatively soon.

Glock 22RTF

Wow, old thread.

Anyway, I hear the Gen 4's are only being released in Glock 17 and Glock 22 at first --anyone else know if this is right? Any dates on when they may be obtained and if the ambi-release is an option (I want to use my old mags)?

I thought Glock was perfection from the getgo.

Perfection is a goal, not a product. The product improves towards Perfection......... 3,000,000 buyers in 20 years says a lot. I'm not good at Photo-shop; can anyone work up a rounded-top slide for Glock a la some of the old Randall pistols?? I think this should be an option, along with what sort of "groooovey" front we want / don't want on the grip.

Glock 4th Generation Mag Release Sucks

The new glock 4th generation magazine release sucks. I shot a friends 4th gen glock 17 and the mag release is so big that it is way too easy to accidently drop the magazine. Oversize mag release buttons are something for competion not on a street gun. Just another example of trying to fix something that doesn't need fixing. Dumb move Glock

Each to their own. I think the new mag release is a great improvement over the Gen3. Mine has not accidently drop a mag and I have shot and carried it plenty. In fact, I can't think of a single aspect of the Gen3 that I would prefer over my Gen4.
