I sometimes don't get the choices that companies make. You're going to put out a new generation of guns to address the inroads that other makers *cough*S&W*cough* are making into the market. Sure, you want to offer the newfangled thing that they do (interchangable backstraps), but why not address the common complaints that everyone has at the same time, if it is just about as easy to do? And, btw, it is just about as easy to do.
What are the common complaints about Glocks?
1. They're ugly.
OK. There's no fixing this. Besides, like the A10, Glock has turned ugly into a trademark. So, forget about it.
2. The grip angle / Glock Hump is ergonomically poor.
So, we're already tinkering with the backstrap, but it looks like we're just offering the same hump in each one, with varying degrees of overall grip size. How about we offer one without that stupid hump? Hey, maybe now some enterprising third party can do what Glock refuses to do.
3. We hate the finger ridges.
So, we're offering interchangable backstraps, but we can't make one for the front? Clearly we're no Magpul.
Full disclosure: I own a G20. I like it. I even don't mind the finger ridges. But the Hump is lame.
