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.
