GLOCK COPIES M&P

[twyacht]

Looks like the consumer wins. Toned down the finger grooves, gave it an adjustable backstrap, narrowed the overall "girth" of the grip, and changed the stippling of the grip itself.

I'll take a G22 anytime.

Hey Eric,
I talked to a friend of mine at the local gun shop today who has fired a Gen 4 G22 and he confirms what you have posted. I asked about the change in the recoil spring and he said that it was there and it made a noticeable difference. He said he liked the texture on the new gun. I asked about old mags working in the new guns and he wasn't sure if they were compatible. However, the new style mags will work in the older generation Glocks.

He's a big HK fan (P30 to be exact). I asked him if he would "lower" himself to buy a Glock when the new generation comes out, and he said "yes" with a sheepish grin. I told him the P30 would not mind that he was fondling that "trailer trash" from Smyrna.....

Why is Glock messing w "Perfection"?

Cuzz the local city, county, and state went from Glocks in 9/40/357 to M&Ps. Along w Detroit and too many others for Glock.

Another reason is stuff like:

New Weapon System
Solicitation Number: DJA09S000028
Agency: Department of Justice
Office: Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF)
Location: Administrative Programs Division (APD)

Maybe 500,000 pistols over 10 yrs. Read the specs. Glock is Ok as is, but would do better as will be.

Thanks MikoO, Q&A section of the link, question 3 states "At 25yds, must have 2" group at Point of Aim, mechanical zeroing method used, with ATF approved ammo."

G22 please.....

Just the evolution of two great pistol platforms. Did I mention here on the last day of the year, that I LOVE my M+P .40?

and my G21 45ACP,....

I just got the new Glock annual and I'm glad that the changes were as subtle as they are. All of my Glocks already fit my adaptable hands, but I'm interested to see what the new magazine release is like. I don't need another 22, but the 17 is on the heels of it and my lefty wife could use one of these.

UPDATE: This guy says he has already bought one ($398.20 - North Florida)

Here's a crazy thought.  If they have interchangeable back straps, why not interchangeable front straps?  That way you could choose to have finger grooves, or not.  Huh?  Huh?  Genius, right?
