New Generation 4 Glocks

Thanks for the pics! I'm perfectly happy with the stock Glock grip, but I guess there's always ways to expand one's customer base. The replaceable backstraps just give another edge to the hands-down best value in the automatic pistol market.

However I hope they offer the interchangeable back strap as an option without the ambi mag/slide release. I have never heard anything great about the ambi mag release, and as someone who is not left handed I could do without it.

The ambidextrous magazine catch is a completely different design than the previous debacle. It will require removing and swapping position to make it a left hand operation, very easy to do. Glock has never offered an ambidextrous slide stop lever.

Yep I realize that... Either way just saying it would be nice if they offered it without as an option.

Wait, the SLIDE STOP LEVER is on the left side just below the slide. It holds the slide back after last round is fired. Glock has never offered an ambidextrous SLIDE STOP LEVER.

Yep,(again) I get that... No need to be condescending.

Maybe we're just not on the same page here as I keep talking about the mag release... As the first post you quoted, I said:

I have never heard anything great about the ambi mag release....

And for further clarification, as it is apparently needed... The reason I also commented on the ambi slide lever, is because it is listed as a new feature in the article referenced in the OP.

Ambidextrous Slide Catch Lever - The new Glocks will have an ambidextrous slide catch lever. Each side of the frame will have a slide catch lever, allowing the shooter to use the lever no matter which hand the pistol is in.

When you said they have never offered it... I assumed you knew the above and meant that they had not offered it until now... As in never on previous models.

Yeah, its Christmas.

Your link references "probable" features.



The Gen4 is the top frame, Gen3 lower. There is NO ambidextrous slide stop lever. This is fact.



Again, Gen4 on right, slide stop lever is only on left side of frame for Gen's 1-4.

My aim was clarification not condescension.

[Paul]

You might be right... I took the article at face value as several of the bullets said this feature might be on the new generation, and a few others (like the ambi slide release) said they will be on the new generation.

And while you may have been trying to clarify, your bold font, dumbed down definition of a slide stop lever, is condescending.

Have a good Christmas.
