Anyone have a Gen IV Glock yet?

[woodandsteel]

I have been looking around, but so far I cannot find any 4th Generation Glocks here locally.

I have seen them for sale on Gunbroker. The prices on them are a little high, IMO.

From photos that I have seen, I do not like the slide serrations. I was wondering how the grip felt. It just has an odd look to it, as well.

Personally, I don't like the finger grooves on the Gen III Glocks. My hand does not line up with them. Looking at the newer design, it looks like the finger grooves are a little more subdued. I'm wondering if that will make for a more comfortable grip.

When I first saw pictures of the new Glock design, I thought it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen. However, I thought the same thing about the HK45. But, once I had a chance to hold the HK45, my opinions on it changed. They changed so much, that I have to avoid the HK counter at the gun shop, lest I buy a gun that I really don't need.

Just looking for some real life experiences and reviews of the new Glock.

Thanks in advance.

I handled the updated G22, and right off the bat, I'm not a fan of the texture of the grip. They're like tiny little spines. I cannot imagine an extended shooting session without your hands getting abrasions. Just my .02 cents. I'll keep my old school G22.

I was afraid of that. I wish they would go back to the Gen II style.

On the contrary, I fingered the Gen IV G22 today and rather liked it. True, it's a departure from the "old school" styling of the earlier generations, but I'll have to shoot it to find out for sure.

Anyone know if they will be offering a G17 with the new grip texture?

I played with one briefly. I really like the grip texture. The slide serrations look a little goofy, but are functional.

I liked the new texture. Just the texture. The newer serrations however aren't for me. I personally don't feel the need for them. I would however, buy the RTF and swap or trade slides for another caliber

I liked the new texture but just cant imagine how it will hold up to being rubbed by hard objects over time.

I handled one today...what really got my attention was the needle like grip texture....It would seem to smooth out over time rubbing against hard surfaces IMO. I did like the new slide milling...although it really does nothing "new" other than just look new.

Not to nitpick, but its just a variant of the 3rd Gens..
