This review from IWA 2026 introduces the Glock 49 Gen 6, a model currently unavailable in the US.

The Gen 6 frame improvements like palm swell and RTF6 texture are noted positively.

This video provides an overview of the Glock 49 Gen 6, observed at IWA in Germany. It highlights the firearm's configuration, featuring a G19 frame with a G17 slide. The speaker notes that the Glock 49 is currently only available in the European market, and suggests potential limited demand in the United States despite parts availability.

The Glock Gen 6 introduces significant ergonomic and functional updates, including an RTF6 grip, enlarged beavertail, and a revised slide stop lever to prevent accidental lock-backs. However, it comes with a substantial MSRP increase to $745 and a notable lack of parts compatibility with previous generations, particularly Gen 5. The new optic mounting system uses numbered polymer plates, replacing the MOS. While improved, the reviewer still prefers smaller models for EDC.
