Butterpuc Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Is this the one hat was specifically made for the Secret Service, or some other Federal LEO agency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBI, I believe. The story goes that Glock stole the contract out from under Sig. FBI wanted something with a lighter trigger and no finger grooves (thereby blocking Glock from bidding) and then Glock churned one of these out almost overnight, severely undercut Sigs pricing, and the FBI was left with no choice but to award to Glock. FYI this is COMPLETE hearsay - only what I've read online on various message boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Z Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 It's a nice thing that Glocks are made here, in the good 'ol USA now. It was a real slap in the face for American industry that our military used weapons that are made in another country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apparently they have already been recalled because the Indianapolis Metro PD that took delivery are having problems. Nice one... glad to see that the streak of using the end customer as beta testers continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1911 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Looks good. However the Indianapolis PD has apparently had to send them back to Glock due to problems. The slides were coming off while dry-firing. Hopefully Glock will get that straightened out quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more fascinated by the conventional rifling and the new barrel profile. I feel a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of aftermarket barrels cried out in terror. At least they didn't change the sight cuts or something, you can still remove the slide cut protectors they install at the factory and have your choice of sights.

Honeybooboo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The traditional rifling is so that they can trace bullets back to specific guns. Glock did not want to do the flared magwell and fought it hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kro77 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 So do you mean to say that polygonal barrels do not have the same kind of tracing characteristics as rifled barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniperboy Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I love that they removed the finger grooves but the drastic change of inner parts seems like lunacy. Hopefully they did not change the trigger mechanism to match the Glock 42 and 43. But if the revised firing pin safety plunger and single pin is any indication they probably did. Cross-pistol modularity and sharing of parts was what appealed to me, and this seems like a step in the wrong direction. Maybe the recall was because they installed the slide lock backwards? : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been this way for many years! ~g Edited August 30, 2016 by safeactionjackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
