Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key ergonomic upgrades on the Glock Gen 6?

The Glock Gen 6 features an enlarged beavertail to prevent 'Glock bite' and a textured, extended thumb rest for improved recoil control. These enhancements aim to provide a more comfortable and secure grip for the shooter.

How does the new Glock Gen 6 optic system work?

The Gen 6 Optic System allows for direct mounting of optics to the slide, creating a lower profile. It includes three plastic alignment plates (e.g., for RMR, DPP) to ensure precise alignment while optic screws thread directly into the slide's metal.

What is the new grip texture on the Glock Gen 6 called?

The new grip texture is called RTF6. It's described as a hybrid of Glock's previous RTF2 and RTF4 textures, offering aggressive grip properties without being overly abrasive to the user's hands.

Has Glock changed the internal recoil spring system for the Gen 6?

Yes, for the Gen 6, Glock has returned to a single recoil spring and a plastic guide rod design. This simplifies the internal mechanism compared to some previous multi-spring configurations.
