SHOT Show Coverage

[Update 12/18/2009: Gen 4 Glock photo is here.]

The “Gen 4″ Glock is not the same as the RTF2 Glocks that were announced at the 2009 SHOT Show.

A lot of people were referring to the RTF2 finished Glocks as a ‘fourth generation’ Glock pistol, but they were not a generational change.  The Gen 4 Glocks are expected to have a different finish than the current generation, but the RTF2 finish is not likely to be it.

I have received a number of e-mails about the Gen 4 and RTF2 naming conventions, thus this post, which I hope clarifies the naming conventions.

The Gen 4 Glock is expected to be shown at the 2010 SHOT Show.
