G22 Fourth Generation

When will it be available in CA?

[SandLine]

It already is, and has been, since at least May of last year.

Nevermind, I'm stupid.

Fail, and fail.

Perhaps we're disagreeing on the definition of Gen 4. Back in May, I had a Glock 22 with the "fish gills" on the slide and the rough textured grip offered to me for sale.

At the time this was being called Gen. 4, even though my understanding was that it was pretty much just cosmetic changes (and for that reason some people still called it Gen. 3).

Has Glock made additional changes to it since then to make it a truly new generation?

What you're talking about is the Gen3 RTF2, not the Gen 4. The Gen3 RTF2 was never called the "Gen4." Glock specifically stated that it was NOT the Gen4, and that the Gen4 would be coming later. Whoever told you it was a Gen4 has no idea what they're talking about. Those "some people" who still called it a Gen3 were correct.

Thanks for the clarification. I never thought of the RTF2 as a new generation myself, and I'm happy to hear Glock wasn't trying to push it as one.

Yes. interchangable backstrap, different slide, different grip texture, and different recoil spring, to name just a few.
