Re: What generation is my Glock
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: dang472</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Now for a little more confusion. I have a Glock 23 RTF. It's basically a Gen 3.5. It has the grip texture of the new Gen4s but is still considered a Gen 3 with a "raised, textured finish". I didn't know what I had until I got a straight answer from a Glock rep. </div></div>
Actually, the gen3 RTF is "rough textured finish", and is different than the gen4. They look similar, and are, but the gen4s are more dull. If you look at the texture of the RTF under a high power magnifying glass, the bumps are actually tiny "cuboids" - they look like pyramids. The gen4s are little pyramids with the tops chopped off.
I love the RTF, and wish they hadn't shit-canned it. Apparently, CCW/CPL users carrying IWB bitched about their love-handles getting scratched up.
