This expert review from Classic Firearms discusses the Glock 49 Gen 6, a model currently unavailable in the US but showcased internationally at IWA 2026. The presenter, Shane Cooley, highlights its unique combination of a compact frame with a G17-length slide, featuring RTF6 texture, palm swell, beavertail, flat trigger, and thumb rest. Cooley expresses positive impressions, particularly regarding the G49's balance for concealed carry and its appeal to sports shooters due to the extended sight radius.
This review of the Glock 17 Gen 6, presented by an expert with high authority, details significant ergonomic and mechanical updates. Key improvements include a balanced slide design from the G47, an updated trigger with a flush safety, a deeper trigger guard undercut for a higher grip, and a reprofiled grip for better recoil management.
