First GENERATION IV Photo

I thought it looked familiar.

Kinda looks familiar to me too.

The XD(m) perhaps?

I dont want to hear about how S&W is a copy of a Glock anymore.

I think Glock is copying S&W with the back straps.

I can't believe how many people get their feathers ruffled over someone saying they wish glocks had an external safety. He stated his opinion lets not burn him at the stake here geez. I think this Glock is uglier than any on the others but at least the 3rd gens should go down in price a little when these come out I hope. I wouldn't mind getting a 19.

[GLOCKMEISTER]

Fyi, these will probably be available in Feb at the earliest. Some will love'em, but honestly I think i'll stick with my 3rd generation.

Sharing his opinion is fine and dandy, but this guy feels the need to start an argument about safety in EVERY, SINGLE, GLOCK RELATED THREAD.

We get the point, he's got a hard one for an external frame mounted safety. We get the point. No need to turn every thread into a "Glocks Should Have A Thumb Safety" thread. That poor postmortem equine has been physically assaulted quite enough.

Some of us are perfectly content with the safety mechanisms on a Glock, he needs to accept that, and move on.

Poak I'm not upset, we all have different taste ???

Hey, it's all good, I just think it's time to let it rest

Question here, and this may have been covered in another thread already. About the mags. Will the 4th gen mags be the same and interchange? In other words, would you be able to use the 3rd gen mags?

[eapking]

Could have sworn they were going to "fish gill" looking serrations. I thought that really helped the look. Not a big fan of two tone "plastics" either. All black for me thanks.

Yeah - that's what I was wondering (about the fish gill serrations). Another brand new ad that I just saw tonight showed the new grips, but with the gills on the slide. More than one option?

Older mags will work as long as you don't switch the mag release to the right side. Of you do, you need the mags with the release slot on both sides.

+1 to that. We are all entitled to our opinions but the point of this was new Glock Devlopments etc... not Glock v/s XD etc... He can have his opinion but bashing Glock in a Glock thread is analogous to me going to a revolver forum and telling the revolver fans they like antiquated guns or telling hunters that sitting in a tree stand is boring. We all have a right to have an opinion, but not every thread is the appropriate place to post it.

Well I have not cared for a GLOCK for years , but I have shot and handled a few . I have got to say I've been thinking about joining the dark side and getting one . I like all guns that do what they suppose to . I even own a hi point c9 so I don't bash any . To each there own , I think I hear the dark side calling maybe need to go get 1 or 3 .

[RD3]

Why do you have a hard time keeping your finger off of the trigger until your read to pull it?

here we go again

Come on in the pool, the water's fine.

I too was a Glock naysayer for years. Now I've got two of them.

Damn fine pistols.

[redneck]

Some assume that I have my finger on the trigger, but I don't, all I did was asked a simple question, about adding a simple lever that moves up & down on the frame, I know of guns since 1905 that have it ???

gunman the thing with the safety is if you had to use your gun you may not have time to think about is the safety on or off . Right now I carry a 24/7 oss with the safety off but it is decocked with one in the chamber . And a external safety will not stop a kid or bad guy from firing the gun . IMHO

[Kegger]

Keep it properly holstered and no one will even know you have it. And it you draw it, fire, don't let the bad guy get a chance to grab it. And I guarantee you they know how to disengage a safety.

Back on topic.

I was a die-hard Glock hater... Then I bought a 19, the dark side has treated me well.

[Guest Ae-35]

If anyone wants a thumb- safety buy something else !!!!!!
