[Update 12/18/2009: Gen 4 Glock photo is here.]
Glock introduced Glock 19 and Glock 23 pistols with the RTF2 finish. Glock made the introduction at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers Meeting & Expo in Reno, NV this week.
The introduction is an extension of the announcement Glock made at the 2009 SHOT Show, where the company stated the 19 and 23 would follow the roll out of the models 22 and 17.
The RTF2 finish is not the “Gen 4 Glock“ pistols that have been teased to by the company. Those pistols are expected to be shown publicly at the 2010 SHOT Show. More information about the Gen 4 Glock pistols is here.

I aquired one of the “New” Glock 19 RTF2s on “Black Friday” 2009
I am realy likeing the texture which is like 80 grit sandpaper which alot of shooters put on thier Glocks..
I figure the ones who “Don’t Like” the RTF2 can but the other frame.
I’ve heard the new 4th generation Glocks will be available after the “Shot Show 2010″ will have removeable/changeable backstraps, ambi magazine release, Plus “Maybe” a redesigned slide stop lever & a bit less agressive textured frame..
This is all from insiders who have handled the New Product..
I’m sure glock will keep things simple & make every change swapable to older frames with the exception of the backstraps..
After they have the bugs worked out I’ll probobly snag one up..
Also I figure that the RTF2 Glocks will become a short run piece with a small run time & those who prefer a rough texture should run out & buy one before there all gone..

This texture seems to fall in the personal preference arena. I’ve heard those who love it, and those who hate it. I’m just glad that the option is available to choose from.
