Anybody going to grab one?

Not me, I'm slowly converting my stable from Glocks to SIgs.
( I already sold my P320 even after I had Sig do the trigger recall upgrade ).

Surprised someone bought it.

 

[GOPerfect]

Nope. I am finally Glock free.

So many far better options on the market.

I'll pass on the Benchmade of pistols for the moment.

 

[Defilade]

1. PALM SWELL: The palm swell contours the pistol to the natural curvature of the hand.

2. RTF6 GRIP TEXTURE: The Gen6 grip texture (RTF6) combines two textures into one to create the perfect blend of performance and comfort.

3. ENLARGED BEAVERTAIL: The enlarged beavertail encourages a higher grip while ensuring the slide can cycle freely.

4. SLIDE STOP LEVER ENLARGED BORDER: The border surrounding the slide stop lever has been enlarged to prevent unintentional activation
5. THUMB REST: The thumb rest is textured and extended for increased control during recoil.

6. GLOCK SERRATIONS: The slide serrations are angled deeper into the slide to make the surface engagement more tactile for slide manipulations.

7. TRIGGER GUARD: Undercut trigger guard allows for higher grip support and comfort.

8. FLAT FACED TRIGGER: Each Gen6 pistol comes standard with a flat faced trigger for consistent finger placement and trigger pull. The trigger maintains the Safe Action® System for uncompromising safety and reliability.

9. OPTIC READY: Gen6 pistols come optic ready with a system engineered for adaptability and durability.

I've never privately owned a Glock, they just weren't for me, but I do see some minor improvements here.

The biggest problem for me has always been the more acute grip angle, which is why I've rarely fired a Glock without getting slide bite. Honestly I've always wondered why this isn't as big a problem for lot of folks, especially those of us used to 1911s and such, but then I do have big weird apeish hands. The extended beavertail on the new ones would do me a world of good; though that 22 degree angle would still make my trained point of aim way off (Also something I've always been surprised more people don't have an issue with when transitioning between glocks and other guns)

One could argue that Ruger and some others have already made a better Glock that goes for less money.

Here is a review of the Glock Gen 6. I do not own a Glock and never plan to. I don’t like them or their triggers. One disappointment is the new parts and reduced comparability between generations. Seems like a lot of the slide components and the barrel/recoil spring will not transfer from a gen 5 to a gen 6. To me that’s a problem but many Glock owner own many Glocks so it’s likely marketing to get a lot more money from Glock.

Glock Gen 6 First Look: Evolution, Not Revolution

First shots on the new Gen 6 G17, G19, and G45 show real gains in grip, optics mounting, and controls without changing the Glock DNA. It feels updated yet instantly familiar.

Me To !
There is about a 4% difference in the grip angle between
Glocks and the rest of my handguns. I shoot high with them.
I have to cant my primary hand all the way down to align the sights and be on target.
With my other handguns I can come straight out with my arm and wrist and be right where I need to be.
I must have at least 100,000 rounds through my Glocks and there are still times when training fast I shoot high.
I guess all that practice and training did not retrain the way my body works under stress.
When static shooting Glocks, no problem.
Under stress......???

Possibly after the teething period.

The upgrades seem to be the right direction…just 5 years behind everyone else.

I’m skeptical of the plastic optic plates.

I’m in the market but currently I’m more inclined to buy a Ruger RXM.
-steel sights with tritium front
-fcu
-magpul finally has grips coming out and I can tinker and stipple without worry
-better optic mounting with steel pins
-better grip angle to match my Caniks
-same-ish trigger but just can’t really do the GPT trigger.
-Gen 3 parts

I'll get laughed at, but I have 3 daggers. All have run fine.

Rxm is very similar.

Well when you can get 2-3 daggers for the price of 1 Glock….If they run then that’s what matters

 

[kemo357]

I’ll be getting one.

 

[Nebowictz]

I’ll be getting one.

What intrigues you most about the new design?

 

[kemo357]

I’m just a fanboy and why not?

 

[Nebowictz]

I’m just a fanboy and why not?

Haha no problem with that

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Does ruger RXM come in "g17" or "g45" size yet?

If so I might be interested in one of those.

No need to laugh.

I'm sure they are probably pretty comparable for reliability. And as a company, PSA is doing the Lord's work arming the citizens. I don't think you can find a more pro 2a friendly company. When the .gov told them to fix their daggers so you can't fit a switch (ugh that sounds so stupid) PSA told them to piss off. That's a win in my book and I company I wouldn't mind supporting.

Yes, but not built out from the factory. They now have the full size grips available from magpul so you can swap to a “G45”

Have spent some time now with a Gen 6 G45. Can honestly say out of the gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 glocks I have owned I like the Gen 6 the best. The grip texture is the best of all the generations. Texture is grippy, even more so than the Gen 4’s or Gen 5’s, including the RTF Glocks. It’s grippy without tearing up my skin during CCW. Feels very walther PDPish. the trigger shoe is nicer and the trigger shoe seems to sit back further for an easier trigger pull. I really like the new flat faced trigger shoe, even more than my Gen 5 with the Glock performance trigger. The frame itself actually feels nice in the hand unlike the 2x4 feeling of the previous generations. I like the single recoil spring instead of the dual spring design of previous generations. Gun feels softer shooting as well. The built in gas pedal of the frame, coupled with the texturing going all the way up the frame allows me to have better control when shooting. Overall I’m very happy with the changes and don’t really have a desire to change anything out beyond the stock plastic sights. I like it so much that I am wanting to use my next blue label coupon to pick up a Gen 6 G19 with either a aimpoint COA or with ameriglows already installed

 

[That_FNG]

With the Gen 6 Glocks it seems like not just the trigger shoe but also the trigger geometry has been changed for the better. Where the Gen 5’s had more of a rolling break, this seems sharper, more like the break of a Gen 3. Did the 25 cent trigger job to my Gen 6 as I have all my Glocks. It’s interesting how the Gen 6 comes very close to a Gen 5 Glock performance trigger.

Gen 6



Gen 5



Gen 4




All 3 guns have stock internals with the Gen 5 being a stock OEM glock performance trigger. All 3 have the same 25 cent trigger job using polish.

There must be a ghetto 6 switch by now?
