Who knows.
Our local Academy looked them up in their computer and told me some stores have them.Ours will not anytime soon he also said.Some areas do better then others.Abraham wrote:TAM,
A friend of mine has a fourth generation Glock 19.
Well, I haven't seen it yet and she isn't terribly knowledgable about such things, but she said the store she bought it from (Academy in the Dallas area) said it was a fourth generation...
You are correct, they only come in the 9mm and .40. I have a Gen4 G22 that I like quite a bit. The adjustable backstraps are great when my wife wants to shoot it because her hands are smaller (duh, right?).The Annoyed Man wrote:I was just now looking at the Glock website to read up on the Gen 4 pistols, and it appears that the only currently available offerings in Gen 4 are the 9mm G17 and the .40 cal G22. Is that correct?
If I were ever to buy one, it probably wouldn't be an earlier generation model, since it is the adjustable backstraps and the reversible magazine eject button that would make me consider a Glock. And like I said previously, I probably wouldn't be interested unless it were a .45.
I think we can safely assume that C is out of the question seeing as how "the Brass" would include bean counters.JCole wrote:I think "A" is probably out, too.LongHairedRedneck wrote:I think we can safely say that it probably was not choice "D"G26ster wrote:

OT: you ever use/see the asp cuffs? I got my SW 100s blood soaked this week (agg asslt family violence...yay) and I'm going to get another two pairs...looking to go the asp route. They are fast in application and super light. Not chunking the smith's but they will be my backup pairs.jbirds1210 wrote:The Glock wont rust, but those handcuffs sure will!

OT still: That was why I never carried anything but Peerless. Saw the issues the other guys had with some different brands and with the humidity we had in Southeast Missouri during the summer, I chose to stick with the best ones I ever found. There may be better ones today, but sure liked the quality of mine.gigag04 wrote:OT: you ever use/see the asp cuffs?
