You can read the comparrison of the two on The Firearm Blog, The Ruger SR9. I have been carrying it for CC with a Crossbread Supertuck IWB. I really like this gun but wish Glock would change the grip to that like the G17. It feels better when shooting it than it does to just hold it. I shot Monarchs some old China Sports and reloads with no problems what so ever. I plan on getting a CT laser for it and continue to CC with it.

If they do it will probably be announced at the dealer gun show next year which will be in Jan or Feb.

As of now they do not have any plans on when it will be made, only the model 22 and model 17.

I hope they do a G19 also. A gunstore in my area is supposed to confirm that for me tomorrow. The more the grip is like my SR9 the more I will like it.

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 22:01:53 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=3285#comment-7003 It may be old news at this point, but it is definitely is not fake. I attended the Shot Show in Orlando this year and stopped by the Glock booth. The new generation models were on display. The grip is as pictured above on all of the new generation models. The slide varied. Some of the new generation models had the slide in question which some have dubbed the "fish gill" design. Some had the design we are all familiar with. Since the booth was mobbed when I went by I didn't get a chance to ask about the inconsistency, but I can confirm it's existence. I thought the new grip design was terrible though. It seems as if Glock was listening to the people who say their grips are still too slick when they designed the new one. The nubs dig into your hands like tiny barbs making it nearly impossible to drop it by accident, and providing moderate discomfort just gripping the weapon. I can't even imagine what it would do to my hands if I tried to actually fire it. Not a fan of the new grip. It may be old news at this point, but it is definitely is not fake.
