New Generation 4 Glocks

[ComradeBurg]

If that is in fact the new generation 4 Glock I have to say I'm going to be laughing. Interchangeable backstrap? When I talk to Glock fan boys and mention swappable backstraps on XD(M) pistols they just blabber on how it's another part to break and another unneeded doodad. I can't wait for them to have to back peddle on that!

But yeah overall the generation 4 Glock appears to simply be a slight evolution to the current ones. I really didn't expect much more since Glocks are already pretty nice guns. But apparently they aren't "perfection" quite yet.

Here's the switch I want on my new Glock. Don't speak Japanese, but the message comes across...

Wow, replacible back straps what a great new idea...

Hey, at least they listened after being squacked at for 4 years. I'm thinking the slide stop will also be an ambi-release seeing as how the mag is now too.

I think the article said it was too.

on your new Glock you need to go to confession, I though the church of JMB frowned on talk like that

It took Glock a long time to adopt the interchangeable back-strap... I'm looking forward to seeing more of them in stores in the near future.

They are just too embarrassed that they even bought a 1911 in the first place to want to list it here. They probably are getting sold on the street to gang bangers and drug dealers. I can see the advantage of them having finicky, unreliable firearms.

They are just too embarrassed that they even bought can't figure out how to properly use a 1911 in the first place to don't want to list discuss it here. They probably are getting sold feeling safer on the street to amongst gang bangers and drug dealers. I can see the advantage of them having being finicky, unreliable with firearms...keeps them out of jail, cause they wouldn't use them anyhow.

The 1911 in any version is not a gun for most people, IMHO. It has too many controls for a novice shooter and is like any semi auto can be prone to problems if the shooter does not have firm grip. I like the point an click interface of the Glock, or M&P or USP or Sig 22X series. Less things to go wrong under pressure. To each his own of course.

This is friendly ribbing... None of that matters.
