GLOCK no longer uses tennifer on any guns, Austria- or USA-made. The tennifer treatment causes the parkerized finish to turn out glossy black. The newer treatment, which is a nitration finish used on all current GLOCK models, causes the final parkerized finish to turn out a grey. The company stopped using the tennifer process because of the byproduct, of course. I have heard that it was changed in order for guns to be made in the USA (this was via my Armorer class; I haven't confirmed this elsewhere), though the process was changed across the board.
I didn't read this entire thread so please excuse me if I'm repeating someone else, but wouldn't Glock's that are made in the USA - well wouldn't the G25 and G28 .380ACP models be able to finally be sold in the USA if they are made in the USA?

Yep. Same size, weight, capacity, price, perceived recoil (because it is blowback), same diameter round, and MAYBE 2/3 the ftlbs energy.
So... why? It's for markets where ownership of military calibers is prohibited.
