“Gen 4″ Glock is not “RTF2″ Glock
Posted by: | Comments[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.

Steyr AUG with Trijicon TriPower Video
Posted by: | CommentsTake a look at this video featuring the new Steyr AUG/A3 with a Trijicon TriPower optic.
The AUG/A3 is the civilian (read: semi-auto) version of the Steyr AUG combat rifle. The AUG/A3 is a gas operated .223 Rem carbine with a 16″ barrel, yet, due to the bullpup design, it is only 28.25″ long overall.

More Gen 4 Glock Information Coming

More and more information about the Gen 4 Glocks (fourth generation) has been trickling in. Based on what I am seeing and hearing, this is a significantly different Glock, not merely a refresh of the old design.
As I confirm the information, I will report it here.
Gun Dudes: A Podcast for the Masses
Posted by: | CommentsDo you have a group of guys that you sit around with, and talk guns, crack jokes, and quote action movies? If so, you’ll feel right at home with the Gun Dudes podcast.
A lighthearted, actually fun approach to discussing firearms, the Gun Dudes are a group of guys that cover topics from concealed carry to IDPA shooting with a liberal helping of humor thrown in to keep the conversation interesting.
While each show will have some specific topics (also known as toe-picks), the Dudes also start each program with a bit of news that highlights citizens using firearms to defend themselves and their families. A regular segment, the Misfire Award, discusses a criminal act that stands out from the crowd due to its over-achieving level of stupidity.
Fourth Generation Glock: Adjustable Grips

Glock has officially started teasing to the fourth generation of their pistols due in 2010.
Calling it the “Next Generation of Perfection,” the fourth generation Glock pistols are expected to feature an interchangeable backstrap, or adjustable grip, to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes.
Way back on June 9, I broke the information on the adjustable grip Glock after a Glock rep leaked the information to police supplier, GT Distributors at the National Association of Police Equipment Distributors (NAPED) conference.
The fourth generation Glocks are rumored to have a textured finish that is not nearly as aggressive as the RTF2 introduced at the 2009 SHOT Show. The new finish is said to be rougher than the prior generations, but easier on the hands and clothes than the RTF2. The RTF2 was found by some people to wear through uniform shirts and other clothing too quickly.
