Hacko @ BlueGunBlog discovered an image that shows two different Glock Rough Textured Frames. The difference between the RTF2 and RTF3 can be seen in the image below.

The G22 with the new frame that was at SHOT is the RTF2 model. I do not know if Glock ever plan on actually producing pistols with the RTF3 frame.

Lol well I’m not so sure how you manly men feel, but as a woman (not that I can even comfortably fit a Glock in my hand), it looks like it would be not fun to shoot because it might possibly irritate my hand – especially on the side of my thumb. I’m thinking blister inducing or uncomfortable rubbing for those who don’t have what I like to call Glock sized hands.
Any chance of having the Rough Textured Frame on the Glock 27. I’m a forestry worker and in the market for a smaller frame pistol to carry. I go through rough conditions and between the rain and sweat its not easy to grip the old Glock frame. The rough texture seems like it would work very nice for my needs, just on the supcompact size.

I shoot practical shooting sports and I find the new texture help in a more secure grip. If only Glock could remove those finger grooves just like the original, put the original slide serrations front and back then it would be really ” Glock perfection “. Generation V???
The new RTF is an excellent design. However i would prefer the gen III style grip and the rough texture slide. Easier to rack the slide with sweaty, oily, or even bloody hands. Glock i pretty much perfection when it comes to handguns. So what if that design isnt for you? Dont buy it
it was designed more for cops anyway, makes it easy to grip with gloves on
