More confirmation on Gen-4 Glock features
SaysUncle has tapped into a well placed source and has independently confirmed many of the rumored next-gen Glock features and also noted that there will be internal differences.
One things Uncle said got me thinking ...
It will have a different frame texture, which I have heard from others is somewhere between the standard Glock frame and the Glock Rough Textured Frame.
Could this new texture be the RTF3 texture which I blogged about earlier this year?
I have also heard from a trustworthy source (I cannot reveal the source) that the Gen-4 G17 and G22 models will be initially offered, with the 19 and 23 compact models following shortly after. I also heard that Glock is planning on introducing a model chambered in .22 Long Rifle, although this is not expected for a while yet.
if they can a decent round count into a glock frame for the 22LR then consider me first in line!
A .22lr glock? About time, only took them 20 something years. I wonder if it will have a high capacity magazine?
The Gen 4 Glock hopefully has what my shooting hand found lacking in the current models’ grip.
22 for me too. With the cost of ammo, the feel of a Glock in 22 LR will help with practice.
I’d gladly choose a hi-cap .22lr glock over any other .22lr pistol. If kel-tec can figure out how to make a straight walled hi-cap rimfire magazine for their new PMR then hopefully glock can do it for the .22lr.
A high capacity .22 Glock would indeed be quite interesting. Hopefully it will be of standard Glock quality and not like the cheapo versions from Walther and Sig.
Yes, a high capacity 22 Glock would be sweet and would quickly become part of my collection.
But this kinda sucks: I was going to pick up a Glock 19 tomorrow. Now I’m thinking I should wait for 4th Gen.
A glock chambered in .22lr would be most exciting.
I felt one of the RTF Glocks the other day…it really felt like the gun belonged in my hand. I wish I could just buy a new frame for my own G23. I liked the texture, but mostly loved it along the back of the grip.
Glock should come out with a single stack 9mm. That’s where the next market wave is heading imo.
My thoughts….
Glock should offer the textured areas in red. That would just look sweet. *LOL*
As for the .22LR, that’d be a sweet gun. I’d love to see it in a long model.
A .22lr glock with an high capacity magazine would be amazing. I’d shell out the 200 bucks for the suppressor tax stamp for that one as well.
-D
Bring it on!

If they stick to their numbering conventions and the rimfire is the next new model released, it will be the Glock 40.
So the Glock 40 will be a .22 and the Glock 22 is a .40. Hilarity ensues at gun shop counters across the country.
I heard some time back that Glock had also redesigned the recoil system to include to recoil springs. Can anyone on the blog confirm that?
Sal, yes, that has been confirmed on other blogs.
I own a Gen 4 Gl 17. Very sweet sidearm. Love having the adjustability of the backstrap as well. Didn’t need it though. The factory grip is superb.
