Get a 1911! A safety button on a trigger is rediculous! Not only does it move in the same direction as the trigger(i.e. requireing only a single accidental force to act on the gun and fire it) its also on the trigger itself-Lame Gaston, really really lame! John Browning's 1911 design requires two seperate forces acting in oposite directions at the same time to fire the gun. It would be rare to find such forces as part of an accidental circumstance! Only the purposeful grip of one's hand can discharge a gun. There is dropping the gun for series 70 and earier 1911s. Answer to that is don't drop the gun or get a brand new iteration of 1911 from one of the many makers that used series 80 or similar fireing pin block. Makes the gun modern and the 1911 now blows every other system out of the water! I like the Gunny and his shows, but he's seriously a bit mis-guided in his love of glocks! Glocks suck! Get a 1911!

Get a 1911 in 45 cal! Best damn trigger, safest damn safety system ever! Carry loaded and cocked with safety on. The gun needs a hand around the grip safety to make it fire. Gaston Glock figured the grip safety should be moved the trigger???? What the hell was he thinking? That's like putting the 2nd ICBM launch key right next to the first key! Or putting the machine safety button next to the on swith! These devices have seperated controlls to operate(so that it takes two people to launch a missile or it takes two hands to opperate a mill! John Browning new of this concept a long time ago and perfection for autopistols was and still is the single action auto with depressing of grip safety in order to make it fire-only fires if a hand is around it, highly unlikely to have both grip safety pushed one direction while something else pushes trigger in the oposite direction at the exact same F###n time! F###N simple yet genius! Quit being a looser with your glocks and get a 1911! Springfield Armory is one of the best for the money! Stay the hell away from the current crop of Kimbers as their QC sucks balls lately and you'll just be flushing money down the toilet! No the Gunny is not a pussy with his glocks, he's just a bit mis-guided. the rest of you are pussys though! Glocks are for pussys! Get a 1911 in 45 cal!

I love it love it love it. For starters it's a Glock. That should be all that needs said. Squeeze the trigger and it fires. I love the new grip and interchangeable back straps and I even like the new serrations. Someone up above said that the gen4 didnt use the new serrations. Yes sir they do and i like them. Superb dependability, functionality and a new look that although slight, is just enough to be different but still hold true to what Glock has always stood for. E. Bush up there explains the serrations perfectly. Well done Sir. Mine is also a concealed carry and it is the perfect one for the job in my humble opinion. I just bought my Gen4 G22.

I've done some research on the dual recoil spring in the Gen 4's and heard some bad things about them. From what i've read the spring sometimes doesn't fully retract, so bad to the point one person stripped the slide off and the spring just fell out!!!!! another problem i've read about is after even a few racks, not fireing the weapon, the recoil spring is off-center or "cocked" to one side or the other?????? Also, i've read that some people are haveing a real problem with jams. Has anybody else heard about any of these problems. and if so, have you heard of whats causing the problems??? hey all,

Also the grip is excellent!!!! *Infact it grips so well it amazes me.. Now I got the new Glock 17 Gen 4 with replaceable back straps too!!!! I found the gun to fit fine with no back strap.... but, the more I messed with it I decided I liked the middle strap on it.. I also found it a trick to get the plastic pin in just right... Not to far in or out but in the middle. I like both guns alot. I have not shot either but have shot other glocks and always loved the Glock design, fit and performance. I like the RTF finish better then the Gen 4 if it helps at all in your choice. Both are top quality guns and I love to have the best. Glock 17 RTF came with 3 clips and Glock Gen 4 came with 3 clips. clips are a little different.. more metal exposed all work in each other just fine. Gen 3 has the different spring.. double metal spring on a plastic rail. I must admit I love the Fish Scale sides on my new Glock 17 RTF….

These are all the changes the Gen.4 provides, and the most noticeable and innovative are the lower recoil (compared to Generation 3 G17 and G.22 respectively) and the grip. Now guys with smaller or bigger hands than "standard" can use these calibers with no problem. I know guys with a hand too big to handle anything else than a "classic" .45, and a SWAT guy that is short with small hands (yet an excellent professional) that couldn't handle properly bigger calibers. After hundreds of years of innovations in handguns, it's pretty hard to come up with something new that is also RELIABLE. I think the guys from Glock nailed it this time again. That is correct Mike.

Including the Gen.4 17 & 22. I don't buy stuff if I don't test a lot. And of all the handguns I used (I am an ex-military), Glocks are the most reliable. If you buy a gun bye the way it looks, you're a pussy. If the new serration of the grip doesn't feel "confy", well, it's not supposed to. And you're using too much hand lotion. Hating a brand is as bad as having a cult for a brand. Especially when it comes to safety or survival. You're as much of an idiot like the "fans" you're bitching about, just that you're on the other side of a "barricade" that doesn't exist.

Our department has ordered new G22 RTF's and our regional Glock rep up-graded us to the new Gen 4. The pics I've seen on the net with the "ploymids" and slide serrations appear to be gen 3. The reason I think so is that the new Gen 4 will have an interchangeable backstrap to allow shooters to give a Glock a more custom fit. It also has some type of upgraded recoil spring and a magazine release that can be switched for a left or right hander. I still haven't seen much on these mods and an magazine I picked up at a local book store had an article on the RTF calling it a Gen 4 but did not mention the back-strap or that the recoil spring has been updated.
