Photo of the forth coming new Glock 4th Generation?

[TGO David]

I'm not sure what the hell they are smoking in Austria, but once again they fail to deliver interchangeable back straps to customize the grip to the shooter's hand size. And the new cocking serrations... seriously? I mean, come on... really?

[BimmerFreak]

Glock is SOOOOO innovative.....

[Guest eyebedam]

I would want 1 if they did adjustable backstraps. Wonder what the price increase will be

For there new innovation.

[Guest Verbal Kint]

No real way to sugar coat it... that's ****ing hideous. I guess you truly can make a Glock look even more ugly.

[DavidD]

Disappointing to say the least. Just goes to show that when one owns the lions share of the market, competitiveness isn't all that important. Glock is starting to remind me of the American Car companies of the 70's.

[TGO David]

At least the cocking serrations point in the direction that you're supposed to hold the gun. That should cut down on potential lawsuits, right?

[Guest flyfishtn]

Come on Glock, you can do better than that.

[molonlabetn]

Wow... They are really pushing the envelope now.

[TGO David]

Come on Glock, you can do better than that.

Hey, you should sue Gaston. He copied your signature and put it on the new gun slide.

[Steelharp]

I dunno. The backstrap thing doesn't matter to me, they fit me as they are. I'd at least be curious to see how one feels.

Now, if they would use a metal trigger...

[Guest Doindonuts]

LOL, some of you guys should develop your own guns, you seem to have it all figured out...

[poak]

Wow, I used to think my 3rd Gen was an "Ugly Betty"... now it's looking like a supermodel to me...

[creeky]

How dare they even think of messing around with "perfection"!

Maybe you should contribute something worthwhile to the thread or just resist the urge to post.

Soooo.....you have no opinions on what you like in your firearms huh?....interesting...

Back on topic.

The gun is the same, with new scratches in it...LOL

Just like several other posts on this same thread downing the gun?? Thanks for that tip!!

I'm sure this will not hurt Glock sales at all, they seem to know what they're doing.

And the cocking serrations? I'm not a fan... although I thought the Glock was an ugly firearm for a long time, I grew to appreciate it's... shall we say, "angular" aesthetic.

People may express their opinions of the gun with impunity. They may not disparage each other with the same.

Now, you're welcome for the tip but if you care to keep going, you will talk yourself out of a spot here in the TGO community. It's your call.

The new design is great, think I'll buy several when they come available.

Personally, I like the third generation of Glocks the best. This one is a step back in LOOKS. I'd like to hold and shoot one, though, before passing too much judgement. Just a question, as I am not a Glock guru by any means. How come they have never used a stainless slide?

I think, and I could very well be wrong that some have been made before, mostly as limited editions I believe.

[Guest sling]

Kinda like holding a chunky band-aid.

Did they only change the frame or are there internal changes as well?

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Quite a bit of stir over on the GlockTalk forums, as you can imagine. A lot of doubt whether this is a true glimpse of a new generation or an internet hoax. Most doubt seems to be stemming from the the slide serrations.

As I posted over there... I agree that the serrations look suspect. If you look at the spacing between the 7 serrations on the slide, compared to the spacing on the 7 serrations in the zoom view, they don't match up. The zoom view shows them much more tightly compacted... where as the normal views shows them milled further apart. The profile of the arcs / angles don't really match up on the serrations either. Looks like a rushed photoshop job, IMO.

I'm hoping this is indeed a hoax and that Glock has much better taste than this.

Good call, Verbal

Something about the new texture on the grip looks mighty suspect as well, esspecially around the thumb hold...

Not to mention the slogan their advertising under... New + New = Same? That makes no sense, haha kidding... er, 1/2 kidding anyway.

my thoughts exactly, very bad photoshopping. i noticed the slide serrations almost immediately
