    4th gen Glock

    Anyone else hear about the 4th gen Glock being showed at the International Association Chiefs of Police (IACP) convention going on this week in San Diego, CA.
    Glock is listed as an exhibitor at the convention (booth 4221).

    Hey all you Glock fans and maybe even some of you that aren't Glock fans... Glock is coming out with a 4th Generation frame! New for this frame is the noticeably different grip which will have a nice bite to it (skateboard tape fans will no longer want or need skateboard tape) and really nice serrations on the rear of the slide. Something about the frame feels more like the first generation and I felt it was easier to grip up high on the backstrap. They will be starting out with both the Glock 22 and Glock 17 and will eventually have all the Glocks out in this design.

      If that pic is real (which I'm having doubts about), I don't see much of an improvement.

        I call BS. Especially since it says they're starting with the 22 & 17.

        The 17, 18, 22, 31, 34, 35, and 37 are all exactly the same frame. Why would they change the frame on 2 of them and keep producing old frames for the others?

            Yeah... because THAT's what customers really want. Squiggly lines instead of straight! Forget the Kahr-killer or a decent single-stack .45...

                    If all they did were the grip texture and slide serration I'm fine with it. I never thought the serration make all that different to begin with. The texture is kind of interesting, for that is a common complain on glocks.

                      They could start out with the 22 and 17 see how it goes and if it's received well try it on the other models.

                      The 22 model is the most popular standard issue Glock for law enforcement out their. Hell every Cop I see with a Glock has one. I think it's standard for the FBI now.

                      Not a huge Glock fan but if it's comfortable and works who cares.

                              The BIG question is, will they use the same magazines?
