Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main ergonomic improvements in the Glock Gen 6?

The Glock Gen 6 features a significantly more rounded and streamlined frame compared to the 'boxy' feel of older generations. It also boasts much-improved texturing that is superior to any previous Glock model, enhancing grip and control.

How does the Glock Gen 6 shoot compared to older models?

Shooters report the Glock Gen 6 shoots remarkably flat with noticeably less recoil transferred to the hand. This is attributed to a combination of the improved texturing, a deep beaver tail for better grip, and potentially other design changes.

Is the trigger on the Glock Gen 6 different?

Yes, the trigger is highlighted as a 'big difference' and significantly improved on the Glock Gen 6. While specific details aren't provided, the consensus is that it's a notable upgrade over previous Glock triggers.

Will Glock release Gen 6 models in .357 SIG?

No, the speaker is confident that Glock will not release Gen 6 models in .357 SIG. This means the Glock 31, 32, and 33 are unlikely to see a Gen 6 iteration.

What are the expectations for future Glock Gen 6 calibers?

There's strong anticipation for Gen 6 models in .40 S&W and .45 ACP, with the Gen 6 platform expected to make .40 S&W shoot even flatter. There's also speculation about new slimline models, possibly in .380 ACP, with proprietary magazines.
