For all the bitching about the grip I heard it does not feel that bad. I like smoother grips but the "dots" are not as bad as Springfield TRPs that feel like a F'en cheese grater. The slide is harder to pull back with the new recoil spring on the 4th Gen. G22.

I saw one today too.
Beside the recoil spring, they changed the mag release and the grip stripling is different than the RTF frame.
They come with 3 mags and it looked liked they changed the mags too.
The grip also feels different.

Why?
Because the GEN4 can not be sold to private citizens in CA and your post might confuse people.

It can not be added due to not having a magazine disconnect.

Really?

Seen that new grip on several different Glocks at a local non-LE shelf in California a few months back.    Was there a Gen 3 transitional?

I understand the approval list very well and absolutely hate the idea of the approval list.    But I don't keep tabs on everything Glock does.   What I saw on the shelves I would assume were Gen 4 because of the 60 grit sandpaper texture.

Have also seen them at a different shop in Ventura California as well.

You are thinking of the GEN3 RTF2 option.

The CA-Approved "list" has unintended fortunate consequences for some Glock buyers.  The CA version of the Glock 21SF requires non-ambi mag release and Glock rail.  Glock fubared the ambidextrous mag release, and the picatinny rail doesnt work well in my holsters.  I was somehow lucky enough to find a CA-type in Texas.

they changed the mags to allow an ambi mag release, was told you can use old mags in new gun or was it new mags in old gun, cant remember, but anyways the new ones have the indent on both sides

is the recoil spring really that different?

looks like the HK spring, does it "feel/perform" differently or is it just another non-problem they tried to fix... I guess is what I'm asking

Wonder if it has anything to do with some Glocks being more prone to limp wristing when shooting Glocks that have a tactical light installed?

Glock has not stated the reasons for the change.

If you know a LEO in CA who personally owns one they can legally sell it to another person. Sorta like how some people got Ruger LCPs.

they say it reduces felt recoil, no idea if it true or not though

On the mag releases, they are REVERSIBLE... NOT ambidextrous.  Look up the difference.

Gen4 mags will work in older guns.  Older mags will work in Gen4 guns only if the mag release has NOT been reversed.

I'm not usually a dupe nazi, in fact I hate dupe nazis, but fuck... this shit has been rehashed hundreds of times in GD already...

To have once been a one of a kind,why is Glock is now incorporating designs from other manufacturers into its pistol?

More than likely it is intended to fix the "Glock .40s don't work with lights attached" problem. Only time will tell if it actually does.

I got to fire ~40 through it with the light. Never had a problem. Wish I had one to try it out with enough ammo for sure.
