They are easily installed with a supplied tool. Gen 4 Glocks are supplied with four interchangeable backstraps that allow them to fit almost any hand. Without any backstraps installed, the frame of a Gen 4 is smaller than a Gen 3 Glock, but the difference is so small your hands won't know the difference. They easily slide into place on the back of the frame, or you can shoot the pistol without any of them in place. For this pistol, it was "Gen 4 19 USA (Davidson's Special Edition)".īecause this is a Gen 4 Glock, it comes with four replaceable backstraps. So now you can buy a Glock 19-and buy American! Gallery of Guns makes it very clear on their listings which of their Glocks are made here, they put it right in the model description. I knew Glock was making the subcompact G42 and G43s in this country, but I wasn't aware any other models were being built here. What surprised me most about this pistol was the marking on the right side of the frame: MADE IN USA, GLOCK INC., SMYRNA, GA. I know someone who learned that the hard way.

#Masada 9mm vs glock 19 skin

Here are a few words of wisdom: don't stipple a Cerakoted frame, or you'll find that the color is only skin deep. Remember, Cerakote is a finish applied to the exterior of the pistol. While the name makes me roll my eyes, in person I actually like both the Bazooka Green color and the overall two-tone look of this pistol. The slide is done in FDE (flat dark earth), and the frame is finished in Bazooka Green Cerakote. This is a Gen 4 Glock in two-tone matte Cerakote finish. The colored Glock 19 you see in the accompanying photos is just such a gun, a distributor's exclusive from Davidson's, available through Gallery of Guns. Into this vacuum have jumped distributors, which offer a number of exclusive models. To make matters worse, Glock seldom offers custom variants, and those rarely to the consumer market. However, many gun owners are hesitant to customize their own guns, especially if they are meant to be carry guns. Note also it's marked "USA" on the slide. When taking apart a Gen 4 Glock, the only difference the average user will note is the beefed-up recoil system. So anything that can personalize the pistol or make it not so ugly and boring, is of great interest to many shooters. But whether it's cars or guns, Americans like to customize their stuff. They all look the same, and they're ugly and boring to look at. When it comes to Glocks-a Glock is a Glock is a Glock. But still I would carry a box-stock Gen 4 Glock 19 over most other carry guns on the market. Gen 4 Glocks don't "suck" as I like to say, however I am irritated that with their 4th Generation guns Glock didn't fix any of the things I felt needed fixing (plastic sights, too-heavy trigger pulls, etc.) while "fixing" stuff that wasn't broken. Introduced in 1982, the Glock 17 was neither the first polymer-framed pistol nor the first striker-fired handgun, but its combination of great ergonomics, shootability, capacity, and reliability soon made it hugely popular.įirst off, I have to point out that I have a lot of strong opinions about Glocks. The flagship of the Glock line is the Glock 17.

Let's start with the Glock 19, but to get there we'll have to mention the pistol that brought us all to the party. The Glock 19 has been Glock's biggest-selling pistol in the United States almost since its introduction, and the 17L is, physically, the biggest 9mm pistol that Glock makes. For this article, I wanted to examine their two "biggest" 9mm pistols-the Glock 19 and the Glock 17L. While they have made pistols in seven different calibers through the years, by far their highest-selling and most popular pistols, both in the United States and internationally, have been those chambered in 9mm. Glock manufactures more models of pistols than most people might suspect. But he also has a soft spot for the big Glock 17L. Tarr is a well-known Glock apologist, and he makes no apology for his longtime advocacy of the Glock 19 as a carry pistol.
