Quoted: Not a parody thread. Only make 9mm luger and .22LR guns .22LR in G17 and G34 size G17 grip with G34 slide G19 grip with G34 slide G26 grip with G34 slide Glock carbine that takes a magazine in the grip No finger grooves for all guns Ship with tupperware boxes View Quote That would be a ... G34. I think I would like a G19 with a G17 MOS slide. Maybe a 10 mm G19 / a G19 with a G20 slide. |

Quoted: Most people don't modify them. People that do buy them to modify them buy them because of that. Making them to order (custom) is really fucking silly. There are companies that do it like Zev. If I want to modify a glock it's pretty easy. If we want glock to be "made to order" I guess we want 6 month wait times and crazy prices for glocks. A gun that exists because it's simple, cheap, mass produced, widely available, and has a huge after market. All of that falls apart if they are made to order. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: It really isn't a ridiculous notion. A lot of people buy a factory Glock, and then spend another 300-500 dollars fitting it with a threaded match barrel, steel night sights, lightened trigger, why should Glock cede that profit margin entirely to the aftermarket?

Quoted: Adding a Manuel safety so I can appendix carry a Glock I appendix a p365xl with safety, it comes off on draw under stress in training so I’m good with that extra layer of caution. Plus as the esteemed pistol trainer and unfortunately passed on Todd Green once stated “If you F up, you will die” in regards to Appendix carry View Quote Senor, that is a bad idea, you should be more careful. Or Pendejo, quit fucking up. |

Get rid of the stupid warped dust cover.
Then add real grip texture and back straps. |

Quoted: This post does make you wonder, what the hell do Glock engineers do all day? Sit around and drink coffee? They don’t appear to be focused on quality improvements or design innovations. View Quote Schnapps. Dey drink schnapps. Ze are only following orders! Herr Glock ist einen oberfürher engineerin einsatz! Ja? Sprechen ze Ich bin ein jelly donut Berliner mitt schnapps! |

Changing every fucking grip mold to get rid of the hump that makes them point high.
Second, the glock carbine in 9, 40, 45, 10, 357, 30, etc, etc. A standard config, and a bullpup variant. Possibly a carbine upper that uses a Glock frame as its receiver. |

I hate the Glock grip angle and in general striker fired pistols. Decided to by a Shadow Systems MR 920 for travel and carry. It has a better Grip angle with all the right features. I took it out shot it and absolutely hated the trigger. I put in a Timney Alpha Gen 4 Glock trigger and boom! -
The trigger pull went from 5 lbs. plus, to 3lbs.! It made the pistol really accurate and amazing for a Glock clone. So, my take? Glock better take a long hard look at what shadow systems is doing because they are behind the curve. |

I’m devoting full efforts to overturning the NFA to allow over the counter sales of wish switches.

Quoted: Go with a different removable back strap system that would fix that fucking awful hump at the base of the grip that is the source of so much grief. And/or do more SF frames. Maybe do more radiused slides. Tweak the magazine design to hold more ammo. Better OEM sights. More single stack slides on double stack frames, ala 30S. View Quote Gen4 with no back strap are SF frames. Most models are available with three different factory sight options. Polymer, Glock night sights & Ameriglo Bold night sights. |

I'd reduce the number of models and focus on cross-compatibility of slides to further lower production costs.
2 Slides: -4" G19 slide -5" slide (consolidating G17 and G34) 3 frames: -G45 frame -G19 frame -G19 frame with G26 grip The 4" and 5" slides can fit on any of the 3 frames. All would be in 9mm. Still enough models, but simplified production and inventory to improve economy of scale. |

A back strap system that allows for flat or hump (for those that like traditional angle).

The naming scheme
which has no consistency or rhyme or pattern to it, other than it's sequential. The name/model number should reflect the caliber and the size. eg. Glock 9L, 9M, 9C, 9C2. 40L, 40M, 40C. long, medium, compact1, compact 2. Or reserve "C" for competition and S for small or "compact". Or, include the number of rounds in the name. I remember just a few Glock models like 17 and 23, sometimes 40. If someone tells me Glock 38, I have no idea what it is. It should be more user-friendly. |

Take what Sig is doing with the P320 and do it better, faster, more aggressively. Gen 6 is now a serialized fire control group that can be dropped in and out of polymer grip modules. The dozens of non-descriptive model numbers go away, rename things like "Gen6 Carry 9mm" and "Gen6 Fullsize .40S&W" and "Gen6 Longslide 10mm." Models become independent of caliber as caliber swaps are basically just top-end and magazine swaps. This can also allow for a serious trimming of the product line, as low volume designs turn into end-user DIY - don't try to cater to every niche combination of caliber, grip size, slide length, etc, but instead produce a half dozen models of pistol and sell grip frames, slides, barrels for people to customize as they choose. Deliver on the Glock Carbine by producing a carbine frame for the Gen6 fire control group. Don't get drawn into any potential drama with the ATF about pistol to rifle and rifle to pistol/"SBR" by selling Gen6 FCGs inside of Glock Carbine frames - only sell the FCG in pistols so that there is no doubt about every Gen6 starting its life as a pistol.
Engage with the third party market; the demand is there, you can look at everything that has grown up around the Gen3/P80 for the ultimate DIY. Provide a partnership program for these third party companies where they can get an official Glock seal of approval if their products meet quality standards; share design specifications with them when necessary to help them produce better products. Use them as a wind gauge for which way the market is going, and put some of their most popular products into a yearly "Gen6 202x Special" product that captures the zeitgeist of the market in that/the previous year. Such and such slide was most popular, this trigger was most popular, that frame kit was most popular. |

I like the only 9mm thing.
I'd change the grip angle to match the P89 frames, and put in a real manual safety like the S&Ws have, along with a passive grip safety. |

Quoted: Fucking THIS. Fix the shitty trigger too. View Quote The trigger pull weight is about 7% less in the Gen 5. Some have said that it's even more than that. Add a cheap coated with NP3 OEM plunger and it reduces trigger drag even more. But wuth that said I have never had a problem with the stock gen 4 triggers either. |
