Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main improvements in the Glock Gen 6?

The primary improvements highlighted for the Glock Gen 6 are its enhanced texturing and ergonomics. The grip is less boxy and more rounded, which the reviewer believes makes it more comfortable for a wider range of hand sizes, including smaller hands.

How does the Glock Gen 6 trigger compare to older generations?

The reviewer finds the Gen 6 trigger to be a step backward compared to older Glock generations like the Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5. Despite a new trigger shoe, the break is described as less crisp and more spongy than the triggers on their older, even law enforcement trade-in, Glocks.

Why are older Glock models like the Gen 29 so expensive now?

The reviewer attributes the skyrocketing prices of older Glock models, such as the Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5, to Glock's decision to discontinue them. This scarcity drives up demand and prices on the used market, making them more expensive than new Gen 6 models.

What are the rumored future releases for Glock Gen 6?

Rumors suggest that Glock may not release traditional Gen 6 Glock 26 or 27 models. Instead, they might introduce '26X' and '27X' variants featuring a compact-sized grip with a subcompact-sized slide, a development the reviewer finds disappointing.
