Well, we got in our first Generation 4 Glock and I had a chance to look it over.
Some things that I noticed about it:
- The frame is more ergonomic and the "Glock Hump" is less aggressive (Think SF frame)
- Backstraps simply attach to the back of the grip via a cross pin.
- Dual recoil spring system like the HK USP (Should improve reliability and reduce felt recoil)
- Recoil spring force is increased considerably (Harder to rack the slide back)
- More aggressive stipling, not nearly as effect as the RTF2, but it's better than what they had.
- Mag release is 200% larger and more intuitive (I like it alot over the previous Gens.)
- Old magazines work just fine with the new mag release.
Everything else is standard Glock as usual.
Gen 4 has a dual spring recoil system and thicker guide rod.
Gen 4 has a slimmer "Glock hump" and feels much better in my hands (more of a 1911 grip fan).
Gen 4 has a modified Rough Texture Frame (RTF) which helps the frame to bite into your hands. This is good for control, especially in wet hands or cold hands. Polymer guns need all the bite they can get.
Gen 4 has a larger slide end to hold the larger guide rod. The Gen 3 in the picture is a .40, hence the barrel difference.
Gen 4 has a much larger mag release.
Gen 4 not guaranteed to get you a date. (Co-worker shows it off)
