    Sorry that is a topic I am not able to address.

    So, could one assume the Glock submission is still under wraps as we haven't seen the acutal entrant, whereas we have seen the P320 and FN samples?

    Haven't seen any recent Glock models with a manual safety...safe to say we haven't seen the XM17 entrant.

    I'd be happy to see the FBI Glock 17M/19M made available for sale. Especially after putting about 100 rounds through a T&E 17M. But... we do have Glocks with front slide serrations....

    I have mostly favorable impressions of the 19Ms I've fired, but it's not a quantum leap forward (unless perhaps you are left handed).

    I very much doubt the 17M/19M represents the Glock XM17 entrant though, even with the addition of a manual safety. Soldier Systems recently ran an article that the 17M/19M are exclusively 9mm guns, and that makes sense as the 'M' guns use a two pin design. Most manufacturers reportedly entered both 9mm and .40 models into the XM17 trials. Initially I would have thought we'd see a 22M of some sort in the mix, but I don't see Glock bringing back two pin .40 guns. Just speculation, but I'm wondering if the return to two-pin is to some extent necessary to accommodate the ambidextrous slide stop, and if this is the reason why 'M' does not represent GEN5...

    In any event, I'm curious to see the Glock XM17 entrant.

    Unless something dramatic happens that's not likely to happen.
