Gen 4 Glock 17 update

**Larry Vickers** · 04-30-10, 07:13

Quick update;

the G17 Gen 4 I got for the show has ran great BUT I locked the slide to the rear in the box for about a week

My guess is that is a must

My bro Hackathorn just did a class and two Gen 4 G17's had mega problems - ammo was PMC ball

This prompted him to call his Glock POC and fill him in - the guy said a fix 'might' be in the works

This guy also said Glock WILL NOT stop producing the gen 3 guns

Also ref a Vickers Tactical/Tangodown mag catch for the Gen 4 Glocks - we are going to look hard at it; we think it may be enough of an improvement to do it

That's all for now - almost done filming this seasons Tactical Arms so back to work

Cheers

Thank you Mr. Vickers.

I had been wondering about the Gen III production status.

Thanks for the update Larry! It's good to hear they're going to keep going with the Gen3s.

Can you tell what kind of problems the two Gen 4 G17's had in Mr. Hackathorn's class?

Again, much appreciation for your input on the subject. I'm glad to hear GLOCK may work on a "fix" for the gen4 9mms. Also good to know that they are keeping the Gen 3s!
