New Glocks this summer

**big_pErm** · 08-17-17, 17:54

Minor differences from gen4, just enough to get Glock fans to buy a new gun. Excellent business plan while the rest of the industry is down.

Sorry but if it's the M models I'll pass. So many better offerings today on the market

Que the flame!

This whole BTF thing is way over blown, I own over a dozen gen 4s and the only time it ever did it was once in a while when I used power pistol powder

Any other powder or combination didn't across thousands of rounds

I buy roughly one handgun a year new. I bought a Gen 4 G26 back in December, and my next purchase will be a Glock 43 in the next few months because I want a single stack 9mm again.

Glock does nothing perfectly, but everything well, and I am already very invested in the Glock 9 models when it comes to mags, holsters, etc. If they removed the finger grooves, fixed the BTF, made the barrels a hair more accurate, and have listened to their customers complaints, they will have another winning generation. Like I said earlier when the FDE G19 Gen 4 drops I will buy one for a G19 optics host. YMMV.

I imagine any stores selling them might start a firefight full of glock shooters fighting over buying one lol. Reminds me of black friday

Some stores are saying a limited amount for sale...

there are 2 places within 150miles from me doing the reveal and both are saying they have no information and have not even taken delivery as of yet.

Shop opens at 10 and I'll be sitting at the front door @ 8 for a 19M

I swear if this is something idiotic like a single stack 40........

I had two Vickers Glocks (gray frame RTF2s) that did it: A 19 and a 17. The 17 did it less than the 19. But the 17 still did it.

You have my attention...

I've been holding on to my Gen2s because I can't stand the finger grooves and I didn't want to grind on a frame to remove them.

If the Gen5s look like they're supposed to, then I might finally buy new guns.

What about those of us who only own one Glock, a 43? Does that make me a fan boy?

On paper, I believe the 19M is probably the best Glock pistol they have ever made. I'll pick up a blue label as soon as the mad rush dies down.
