Are these going to replace 3rd generation frames or will it be an option?
Makes you wonder why Glock would mess with what many consider perfection? Im not so sure I like the looks or feel of these 4th Gen frames. John |

Quoted:
Is the Gen4 stock grip equal to Gen 3 size, thicker, or more thin? the gen 4 "stock" grip size is 3mm smaller than standard-like the g21/g30 SF models. so not much of a difference at all. certainly not the drastic change most were hoping for. then you add the "medium" backstrap which is the standard glock grip, and the next backstrap is even bigger (?). Thank you. |

Quoted: I am one who has huge hands and wishes the grip was larger. What's the largest backstrap like? I added a Hogue HandAll to my G22 for the same reason. The palm swells make it feel fuller in large hands. I like it better, however, I like the grip of my Hogue HandAll on my G20/21L even better!  |

I am liking the gen 4 look but my dream gun is a gen 3 G23 with the frame cut down to a G27 grip and then reduced. I want the longer sight radius,more control of a muzzle heavy glock but with the conceability of the G27.

Quoted: Curious how the dual recoil spring setup will change felt recoil & shot recovery. Me too. |

why, oh why have they not made the front strap changeable to give the option of no finger grooves?

Do the add on panels create a ridge that will chafe the web of your hand? It would be a bummer if these feel uncomfortable to hold. I am kind of partial to the gen 3 frame shape, but I really want the more aggressive texture.

Apparently I am in the minority in that the standard grip never bothered me. In fact, anything non-Glock feels unnatural to me now. It's the recoil spring set up that has my attention. That being said, I am wondering if Glock will change over to the "improved" recoil spring set up on all .40 models, not just the Gen 4.

I'm wondering about that spring setup, as well. I really like my G22 just like it is. The recoil is stout, but easily manageable. Is this spring set up to help reduce that recoil and quicken shot recovery? Anyone see any reviews on it yet? Will that guide rod/spring assembly be available as an aftermarket "upgrade" to existing G22's?

When the Gen4 19 is released, I'll be sure and watch the EE for some good deals on Gen3's.

I'm in on a g19 in od green. Its weird on how everyone gripes about the grip angle. I first learned to shoot with a glock and that is what i use now. I feel that 1911's have an odd grip angle. I guess its what your just used to or what you learned first.

I guess its what your just used to or what you learned first. For me it's not really a grip angle issue. It's the thickness of the grip itself, along with the shape of the palmswell on the backstrap. A flattened backstrap would probably do wonders for me. |

I handled one yesterday and decided to buy an older one. The knobs on the grip feel like coarse sandpaper. Even the dealer told me people were complaining after buying about the texture of the grip. i did get a glock 22 for $399.

Quoted: Quoted: Just curious.......I have a couple of third gen glocks and by no means consider myself an expert on them..........why the change in the recoil system.........problems..........to address? Basically to lessen the felt recoil on .40 caliber Glock 22s. Nope, to address the failures of Gen 3s with lights mounted. |
