Ed’s Public Safety in Georgia has received some Gen4 Glocks in inventory, and wasted no time posting photos, including some good close-ups of the new grip texture, magazine release, and backstraps.
Here’s one of the many photos from their page. Follow the link above to see them all.

“Note the dual recoil spring and ambidextrous cutouts on the mag”
Sounds like pre Gen4 magazines aren’t going to work in guns with the magazine catch reversed. Guess Glock couldn’t work out a simple enough system without modifying the magazine design.
Did you mean “Ed’s PUBLIC Safety”, and not “Ed’s Pubic Safety”? If not, then I wonder what other kinds of ‘guns’ he sells. 😉
Doh.
LOL!!!!!!!!! that was funny.
I’m curious to see how much the dual recoil spring dampens recoil. Do we know if they are altering the recoil spring on the new G17’s or are they leaving “Perfection” alone in that regard?
I’d like to know if the new guns still have a lanyard attachment hole at the bottom of the grip, where the new backstraps snap in.
so how did these end up shipping before SHOT?
Jason — Yes, there is still a lanyard attachment point.
Rob E — Glock moves in mysterious ways.
@Rob @Todd,
Probably doesn’t hurt that Ed’s is focused on LEO sales and is just the other side of the ATL perimeter from Glock in Smyrna, either.
Looking forward to these making it up to Canada. I want a G17 gen4
I just got a couple Gen 3 G34’s, and am working on a used Gen 3 17. :-p
But I wouldn’t mind trying one of these.
If Glock were making the G19 with these options right now, it would increase my options for the business case I’ll be working on soon…..
Merry Christmas Todd and Rob!!!
Happy Winterfest guys
