Key Features
Modular Backstrap System
The Gen 4 design integrates a Modular Backstrap System, enabling precise customization of the grip circumference. This adaptability facilitates an optimized hand fit, directly enhancing shooter control and mitigating perceived recoil for improved shot placement.
Rough Textured Frame
The frame incorporates Glock’s Gen 4 rough textured finish. This aggressive texture is engineered to provide a secure, non-slip purchase on the firearm, maintaining positive control even when exposed to moisture, adverse weather, or during high-stress engagements.
Reversible Magazine Catch
Operational flexibility is enhanced by a larger, reversible magazine catch. This design feature accommodates both right and left-handed shooters without modification, ensuring rapid and instinctive magazine changes for a broader user base.
Durable Black DLC Finish
This pistol features a robust Black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish applied to the slide and barrel. DLC is a high-performance coating recognized for its exceptional hardness, low friction coefficient, and superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental degradation, thereby extending the firearm’s operational lifespan.
Glock Safe Action System
Incorporating the proven Glock Safe Action System, this pistol utilizes three independent, automatic safeties that disengage sequentially as the trigger is pulled and re-engage automatically when the trigger is released. This system provides a consistent trigger pull and inherent operational security.
