This video discusses potential improvements and desired features for the hypothetical Glock Gen 6. Viewers and the speaker suggest a move towards modular grip systems, improved optic mounting solutions beyond the current MOS, enhanced trigger systems, and updated slide serrations. The discussion also touches on the possibility of a Glock 'custom shop' or 'Skunk Works' division to cater to a more performance-oriented market, drawing parallels to companies like Shadow Systems and Staccato.

Quick Summary

Enthusiasts are calling for significant upgrades in a potential Glock Gen 6, including modular grip systems similar to Sig Sauer's FCU, a more reliable optic mounting solution than the current MOS, and improved factory sights. The idea of a Glock custom shop offering performance-enhanced pistols is also a popular suggestion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most desired features for a potential Glock Gen 6?

Key desired features for the Glock Gen 6 include a modular grip system allowing for replaceable grip modules, an improved optic mounting solution that addresses the shortcomings of the current MOS system, better factory sights, and enhanced slide serrations. Many also hope for a more advanced trigger system and potentially a custom shop offering.

Why is the Glock MOS system criticized, and what are the proposed alternatives?

The Glock MOS (Modular Optic System) is criticized for its plate system, which can be unreliable. Proposed alternatives include fixing the existing MOS plates to make them more robust or adopting a more direct, secure optic cut similar to those offered by companies like Shadow Systems, which often feature screws that go directly into the slide.

What kind of modularity is being suggested for the Glock Gen 6 grip?

Suggestions for modularity include a trigger chassis system (FCU) that allows for interchangeable grip modules, similar to Sig Sauer pistols. Other ideas involve a subframe with removable wraparound grips that could accommodate palm swells and adjustable grip angles, and even options for finger grooves on the front strap.

Could Glock introduce a performance-oriented line or custom shop?

Yes, there's a strong suggestion for Glock to create a 'Pro Series' or a 'Skunk Works' type of custom shop. This division would offer factory-upgraded pistols with features like compensators, enhanced triggers, and custom finishes, targeting enthusiasts who currently seek out high-end aftermarket modifications or custom builds from other companies.
