yes glock, make sure you change a bunch of stuff. Hopefully you tested it this time.

The latest and greatest Glock sounds great! In the meantime I will buy some more Glock mags and watch the beta testers. I am not rushing out to buy a new generation Glock, especially after the Gen 4 woes.

We need a double like button for comments like these.

The new safety plunger is the one that's got me (yea, and the rifling). There's a bit of a history for fucking around with the recoil spring, but I don't know of any history of messing with the safety plunger. AFAIK it's been the same part basically this whole time, and they are compatible across generations, models calibers, etc.

I've always kinda thought that, from a design perspective, its shape and the implied interface with the striker was....let's say "less than confidence inspiring", but it's very interesting to see that change all of a sudden. That means completely new tooling and compatibility breaking of 2-3 major functioning parts: plunger itself, striker (new interface), maybe plunger spring. That's a whole lot of stuff for something that didn't seem broken....unless it really did have issues and they never made news because of redundancy.

Except for the G42 and G43...

ETA: If I can get a Glock 19M or 17M with a recess cut under the trigger guard and regular ejection. It's going to be a happy day.

I'm already a fan boy but it's only going to get better.

They are Glock's reliability testers for the M.

All this talk about the FBI Glocks and I've forgotten: what's the M stand for?
