Got a couple of the RTF2,s only one with gills..RTF2 G17 prefix NUT...Wish my 19 had the gills I really like the look but when I decided to go grab one all the had left was the straight serrations...grabbed in anyway as I love the rtf2.

I am going to start saving for a Glock 22 rtf2. I can't wait to get one. They still have them at GT distributors

in Austin, Texas.

The funny thing about the Gills, they are cut back-wards! You grip more positively pulling forward.

No big deal, you still can pull the slide back, I carry one, a Glock 19, my problem? not sure if I can call it a problem, my hands and feet do not sweat, so the RTF2 finish is the way for me to go. But it is too rough! Took skin off.
I had to take it down with a file (just enough to still grip well, the side on the outside, I had too dremel, it was pulling the shirt)

Looks like a pro G19 now.

All it took for me to tame my 3 RTF2's was a light sanding with 400 grit sandpaper. I cannot imagine using a file and dremel? Why not just buy a Gen 3?

I picked up 3 new RTF/Gilled 17's today born on date of 11/23/10 prefix of NUW red label box and sequential serial numbers.

feathers73 · 12-13-2010, 10:53

I just picked up one. A G17 with a 11-16-10 born date. That surprised me. I thought they were done with shark gills

deeHKman · 12-13-2010, 19:10

I have recently bought a 17 and 19 rtf2 with gills. My 21sf rtf2 no gills. All are my favorite Glocks.

brianr34 · 12-28-2010, 13:42

I have a G17 RTF2 that I use for IDPA. I really like the secure feeling of the grip.

Just curious how much the texture wears down over time. I am hoping it does not change very much. I would be bumming if after a few thousand rounds, the grip changes a lot and becomes too slick.

I do not carry the RTF2, so the only handling is during shooting.

If anyone has a few thousand rounds through their RTF2, I would appreciate feedback on how the texture is holding up.

My EDC is a G19 with gills (PED serial #). I just didn't see this thread until now because I never browse this section of the forum.

EDIT: Oh Brianr34, I have quite a few thousand rounds through my gilled G19 RTF2. The texture is definitely smoother than when I first got it, but it is still holding up great. As a matter of fact I just shot it in the pouring rain a few days ago and it was great!

ElrodCod · 12-30-2010, 13:53

You guys made me do it again. I just got off the phone with Ed's Public Safety. I put in an order for a G17 rtf2.

edited to add:

Got it. NST - G17 rtf2 - June 17, 2010
Blue label w/ 3 mags - rtf2 w/ fish gills - gray barrel

brianr34 · 12-30-2010, 18:00

The G17 RTF2 is very nice. I only own one handgun and it is a G17 RTF2.

I have been trying to talk myself into buying a G34 for IDPA and sell the RTF2. The RTF2 texture is just so nice, it is hard to give it up.

YaDaddy · 01-09-2011, 22:54

Scored a used LE turn in G22 RTF2 NVXxxx with the fish gills and night sights a few months ago. One of 10 available, so I got to do my own handpick and landed one that is spotless. I think the gills are superior to the straight edge serrations and actually prefer them. Dead balls accurate gun. First round out of the gun was a bullseye at 33 feet.
Looking forward to a little mix and match of the slide with a Gen 4 22 and an OD 22 that I will have in the near future. At least for some photos.
The way the Gen 4 shoulda been IMHO. Woulda been nice to have the new frame grip with the fish gills.

I had bought it already. Carry it every day, NVExxx.

Left the 5 lb connector in, crisp release. TruGlow sights, great. Leaving the rough outside, pulls on shirt, when carrying, the only part that needs to be left alone, the back strap.

On a draw, gun stays still! No slip, which the Gen3 tends to do, the Gen4 main spring? not fixed yet!

Yeah, until just now, I thought I was the only one who noticed this - Good call! (Someone at the factory must be cross-eyed.) Purchased my 3rd. gen. G-19(RTF2) on Nov. 1st of last year. The witness cartridge envelope is stamped April, 2010. The serial number is, 'PEDxxx'.

Don't really care that the serrations are backwards. I really like the RTF2 finish; so, of course, it's already being changed.

Shoots like a dream! 1,500 rounds through it, so far, all without the slightest hiccup. (Not counting the crappy, 'Zone 3' sights the shady dealer talked me into buying.)

I don't see myself ever owning another 9mm Glock; but, I definitely like this one. Sure glad I didn't fall into the, 'Gen 4 hole' too.

I thought the guy at my local gun shop was just using a sales pitch.
I bought a Model 23 RTF2 with the curved serrations because I thought it looked cool and it was actually cheaper than the Gen 4's I was comparing it to. I wanted a 23 to match my issued 22. The sales guy said he couldn't give me the LEO discount that they normally give but he did throw in an extra mag. I didn't realize what I'd gotten until I stumbled across this thread.
Mine is Model 23, red label with NZP prefix.
I really, REALLY like this pistol.
Ordered a 27 yesterday and seriously considering trying to locate a Model 22 RTF.
I'm really enjoying all the new (to me) info I'm finding on this forum.
Thanks guys.

I held a brand new 3rd gen. G-22(RTF2) w/ slide scallops in my hands this afternoon. It is a flawless pistol. The dealer is selling it for $520.00 + the usual fees. It's a very busy gun shop; but, if you're interested here's the information.

Thanks for the info but I'm gonna have to save up a little before I make

anymore "additions".

I've got a local dealer that's been great to work with too.

Thanks again though.
