I know the Gen4 is not new here but its new to me.
Glock sent me their latest evolution of the G17 (Generation 4) for T&E review.
External differences are apparent in comparison to the previous generations. The new rough textured frame (RTF) and enlarged magazine release are most obvious while the short frame (SF) now offers interchangeable backstraps.
Pistol specs:
Manufacturer: Glock Inc.
Model: G17 Gen4
Caliber: 9x19mm Para
Capacity: 17 + 1 rounds
Weight: 24.9 oz. (w/mag.)
Length: 7.875 in.
Height: 5.4375 in. (w/mag.)
Width: 1.243 in.
Barrel: 4.487 in.
Twist: 9.84 in. RH (mfr)
Rifling: 6 Hexagonal
Trigger pull: 5 lbs. 2.5 oz
reversible magazine release
Rough texture frame
Modular backstraps are easily installed
Another evolution is the dual recoil spring assembly. The two springs are to increase the life span of the assembly while supposedly reducing felt recoil.
