I was not aware BFG came in G42 or G43

 

I just looked it up . They do come in BFG.

 

Is BFG anything like OD green?

 

No. The BFG is more like foilage green where olive drab has a brown tint, sorta like it's name implies, olive drab which is a Army camo color.

Ever see a Army camo net? the different colors in it? The OD is the greenish/brown color.

Add: that is, the camo netting used in the European theater.....NOT desert, which is totally different

 

The came out about six months ago. But, initially were NOT in the 42 that I remember anyway.

However, the FBI contract Glock won states, they MUST have available a green (like BFG) and a tan color as well as standard non-reflective black. But, the contract is only the 17/19, a gen 4.5 if you will. They are redisgned gen 4's anyway according to Glock.

 

Why? Are you seriously trying to be incognito with that tiny gun in some bushes? Black hides better in most situations anyway.

 

If this is a need vs a desire and the platform fits your hand proceed, if not well sleep on it.

 

Probably not the best picture, but here's my 43 in BFG. I didn't go looking for the color, but the shop I was at happened to have just sold the last standard black. Turns out I like it quite a bit.

 

I just like the color. It's not a need just a want. I have other 42's. I just really like the green tint they use with the BFG versus the OD or FDE. Those two do nothing for me.

 

I can appreciate those that collect, my age of practicality and just being a shooter who downsizes predominates. I do believe in keeping what works for you, (3) 26's and (3) 17's along with a lonely 30s are the only semi autos I've retained.

 

I have a BFG 43. I love the color more than any other that Glock has put out.

I purchased the BFG more because I like the color than any other reason. However, considering I usually wear some shade of brown, khaki, green, tan, etc.... I would argue that black stands out more so than BFG, OD, or FDE -- albeit only marginally so.

Plus I think the whole "color of the gun makes it easier to hide" thing is overblown anyway. I see no reason not to get a gun in a pink or blaze orange if that's what floats your boat, and you think it won't unnecessarily call attention to your gun.

 

Everyone has their own likes. I like the look of some of the different available colors. Provides a bit of variety and not so boring. Marketing at its best. It does seem to be working. From the standpoint of manufacturers, the market is saturated with good reliable products that they have to find new selling points. Colors are working.

 

Here is my BGF 19.

No. Not FG at all...

Wrong. Black sticks out like a sore thumb.

Non issue with a handgun though, especially if concealed.

 

I prefer the original OD green. They are extinct.

 

I like the color a lot (looks good). Typically, the OD color Glock's are the rarest and tend to hold their value the best.

 

Nonsense. Any of the newer OEM colored frame guns (OD, BFG, FDE, Grey) will be at the same level of desirability as time goes on.

Love my BFG's. They are fugly, but they are mine.

 

 

On this forum, maybe another, there was article posted discussing gun colors and which color was most "visible" to others when carried. Apparently black was most easily recognized. Unfortunately I cannot find the post at the moment. I think they compared black to fde glocks.

I think that is because it is generally recognized that the OD ones are the most accurate.

 

The only thing I recognized when they came out is that their definition of olive drab and my definition of olive drab are not the same.

 

I prefer the original OD green. They are extinct. very nice, have a nice day.guns

 

I wanted a red truck and no one had to talk me into it?

 

Here's my 19 Gen 4...I also have a BFG in the G43. Love the color.

 

Very nice look.
