The Glock Gen 6 That Isn’t Available in the U.S… Yet?

This video provides an expert-level overview of the new Glock Gen 6 pistol, as presented at SHOT Show 2026 by Shane Coley, Captain of Team Glock. Key upgrades highlighted include an advanced optic-ready system with three polymer plates, deeper slide serrations for enhanced manipulation, and significant ergonomic improvements such as a palm swell and RTF6 frame texture.

Internal changes, like the captured extractor module, further enhance durability and optic mounting.

This review by hickok45 explores the significant changes in the new Glock Gen 6, particularly the Glock 19. Key updates include an improved optics system with direct slide mounting, enhanced grip texture with an integrated beavertail, deeper front serrations, and an undercut trigger guard. The Gen 6 also features a flat-faced trigger and a slightly shorter grip, catering to a wider range of hand sizes. While many changes are welcomed, the reviewer notes personal preferences for grip consistency and potential modifications to the beavertail.

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 Gun Dungeon host revisits his initial skepticism of the Glock Gen 6, finding significant ergonomic and trigger improvements after handling a Glock 17 Gen 6. While the exaggerated beaver tail is a drawback, the improved grip and flat-faced trigger are deemed worth the upgrade cost from a Gen 5 model.

The Glock 17 Gen 6 introduces significant ergonomic improvements over the Gen 5, including enhanced stippling, a 'gas pedal' thumb rest, a more defined magwell, and a higher beavertail. It also features a factory optics cut and an extended ambidextrous slide release. While the core Safe Action internals remain, the trigger shoe is now flat-faced. Live fire testing showed good accuracy but highlighted a potential issue with the extended slide release causing accidental slide locks under specific grip conditions. Overall, the ergonomic upgrades are considered a worthwhile improvement.

This review details the key updates in the Glock Gen 6, focusing on significant ergonomic enhancements like a contoured grip, flared magwell, and extended beavertail.
