The Evolution of GLOCK Pistols Four generations of Glock designs have forever changed the world of firearms. The new GLOCK 43 is here. Weve had a chance to run some rounds through the new single stack 9mm and have our first impressions.

The. 40 SW 1022mm Smith Wesson in unofficial metric notation is a rimless pistol cartridge developed jointly by major American firearms manufacturers Smith. Gun Review GLOCK 2. Gen 4 When conversation turns to the subject of Gastons creations, it seems that most people fall into one of two categories. Super Mario Bros 3 Rom Patch. The first are those who think that Jesus Christ or your personal religious deity of choice himselfherselfitself came down from heavenparadisewhatever and bestowed the GLOCK design upon Gaston himself the way Moses received the ten commandments at Mt.

The best gun for every person in every situation and its disciples wonder why anyone would want anything else. The second category of people acknowledge that the GLOCK is a good gun, but wont ever buy one because of all the assclowns in category one. I always fell firmly in the latter group. All kidding aside, you GLOCK guys can take a joke, right Right Anyway, GLOCK has its share of pretty passionate fans and more than once Ive had someone try to give me the hard sell like a Jehovahs Witness who needs to make their conversion quota for the month. Ive never seen that level of enthusiasm from any other brand loyalist, although I have to admit the 1. Partially because of this, I have studiously avoided buying a GLOCK brand GLOCK despite the fact that I have bought GLOCK inspired designs such as the Springfield XDm and the Smith Wesson M P. Id always been quite comfortable with my decision to steer clear of actual GLOCKs. That is, until I made another attempt to find concealed carry nirvana. Now, we all know that the perfect concealed carry gun is high capacity, chambered in a man stopping caliber, weighs only a few ounces, is small enough to tuck into your bellybutton, but still has a large enough grip to enable a firm hold. Oh, and it has to have no recoil. If anyone ever finds a gun that meets all of these criteria, please let me know. Until then, I guess we have to live in a world of compromises. And one of the compromises I decided to make was to reconsider my opinion on GLOCKs. Concealed carry guns are always a series of tradeoffs. Capacity is usually an issue which is why the majority of guns designed for concealed carry skew in the direction of smaller calibers such as 9mm and. Recoils another problem as these guns tend to be small and light, having less mass to soak up the force of the shot. Triggers are often the bane of many CCW designs. It would seem that Double action only DAO triggers with long pulls tend to rule the day. One particularly egregious example of this is the trigger found on my Sig Sauer P2. From the start of the pull to the point where the hammer releases, the trigger has to move almost a full inch. That may not sound like much, but when you compare it to, say, the trigger on my single action only SAO P9. While short and clean, the problem with the SAO trigger is that it requires an external safety in order for it to be safely carried cocked and locked. Some folks eschew the idea of external safeties on carry guns as simply one more thing you have to remember to disengage if you are in a gunfight when milliseconds count. The DAO trigger found on many small frame carry guns is arguably safer as the trigger needs to move a lot further to discharge the gun and the pull weight is correspondingly higher, but theres a reason that DAO guns are largely absent from IDPA and IPSC matches its more difficult to shoot quickly and accurately with them than with other types of triggers. The Glock Safe Action trigger splits the difference its not as sensitive as a SAO trigger, but sensitive enough that accurate and fast shots can be made with it which is one reason it is the most popular gun on the IDPA circuitAppearance. Lets face it, a GLOCK is the flea bitten mongrel that shows up to the AKC National Championship its uglier than most of the others, but in a fight, it can kick the pretty boys asses. GLOCKs are built to work while not costing a lot. Unfortunately, they end up being fairly unattractive guns. Then again, do I really care if people think my Dewalt drill is nice looking or not No, the important thing is getting the job done. That said, theres a certain elegance in the minimalist approach that GLOCK applies to their guns but I do wish they could do something about the boxy look. Ergonomics. GLOCK has had more than three decades to refine the ergonomics of their offerings and they have pretty much got it dialed in. If youre used to shooting any of the bigger GLOCKs, youre going to feel right at home with the G2. The only nit I have to pick is that the short grip of the 2. For some people, this isnt an issue. For others like me, it feels unnatural. Fortunately, he problem has a simple and relatively low cost solution Pearce grip extensions. This 1. 0 part replaces the stock baseplate on the magazine and gives you some extra real estate on which to rest your pinkie. I just wish GLOCK included them as an optional baseplate in the box the way Ruger does with its SR 2. Hey if Ruger can do it with a cheap. GLOCK Grip texture is fairly aggressive. The G2. 6 benefits from the texturing improvements thats a feature of all of the Gen 4 guns. With the Gen 4 line, GLOCK has finally followed the example of other polymer gun manufacturers and acknowledged that not every hand is exactly the same. Included with my G2. GLOCK to to fit my hand. The magazine release button has been enlarged on the Gen 4 G2. I found the button to be easy to hit, but not so easy that I was accidentally ejecting mags. It represents a pretty decent improvement over the magazine release in the Gen 3 and earlier models. I would be remiss in an article about any GLOCK if I did not address the issue of grip angle. If youve spent much time talking to gun people or surfing message boards, youve probably seen grip angle mentioned as a negative when considering GLOCKS. Ive heard the same thing. Recently though, I came across a great article that goes into this topic in detail, explains why theres a difference between the GLOCK grip angle and those of other guns such as the 1. Its worth a read. The 2. 6s trigger is just about right. As I noted above, one of the reasons I bought a GLOCK 2. I wanted that nice, clean trigger that GLOCKs are famous for. The 2. 6 doesnt disappoint. Theres a bit of take up initially, but its very easy to feel exactly where the trigger is going to break. Its not as clean a break as a SAO gun, but damn close. The reset is both audible and tactile and once you pass the reset point, you can press it again for another shot with no take up. Im not wild about the stock black combat sights. I get that GLOCK likes the minimalist look and wants to keep their various pistol lines in sync with each other feature wise. The 2. 6 is intended to be a defensive handgun that you carry with you and might have a need to employ in all kinds of conditions. It seems to me that night sights would be a good option. I get that tritium adds to the cost, but given this guns primary mission, Id argue that it would be worth it as standard equipment. Procuring them yourself will set you back about 9. I went with a Trijicon HD Yellow Night Sight. Finally, lets get to size and weight. At 2. 1. 7 oz. unloaded and 2. G2. 6 is plenty light. My S W 6. 42 clocks in at 1. G2. 6 and is less pleasant to shoot, even with standard. On the other hand, the G2.
