Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main upgrades in the Glock Gen 6 compared to previous generations?

The Glock Gen 6 features a significant redesign including a new RTF6 grip texture, a deeper trigger guard undercut, a larger beaver tail, and a factory flat-face trigger. The optics system is also improved with a deeper slide cut for direct mounting.

How does the new grip and ergonomics of the Glock Gen 6 feel?

The Gen 6 frame has a more pronounced palm swell and contoured sides, making it feel less like a '2x4' and more natural in the hand. The deeper undercut and larger beaver tail allow for a higher grip, reducing slide bite and improving control.

What improvements has Glock made to the Gen 6 optic system?

Glock's Gen 6 'Optics Ready 2.0' system features a deeper slide cut that allows red dot sights to mount directly with thin polymer shims. This sits the optic lower to the bore, improving sight tracking and compatibility with iron sights.

Is the Glock Gen 6 trigger better than previous models?

Yes, the Gen 6 includes a factory flat-face trigger with new geometry that shortens the reach and provides a cleaner break and easier reset. While pull weight remains around 5.5 lbs, the feel is significantly improved over stock Gen 5 triggers.
