Please, not already...they haven't even gotten Gen 5 straightened out yet.

 

Gen 5 was perfection from the day it first rolled off the assembly line.

 

''Reliable rumors''? 😳

By their nature, rumors, also known as 'gossip', are unreliable.

Gen 6? Please, please, please, for our sanity...Nooooooo !

 

Rumors are like a pipe blown by conjecture, surmise and jealousy.

 

A leprechaun told me:

• The Gen 6 43 will have be a triple stack, which they will call the 43 Super.
• There will be no model 17 in Gen 6
• Gen 6 will have finger grooves
• Gen 6 will have an improved quad stage trigger

And many more amazing things will come to light!

 

Interesting... I heard that the only change to the Gen 6 will be one additional row of bumpy dots on the bottom of the grip. This will be deemed as the greatest Gen ever by all the Glock fanboys. They will trip head over heels trying to pick one up. Glock will also be raising the MSRP by $100, but it will be worth it.

Satire but it's true. The delusional is real with most Glock guys.

 

Since half of the GLOCK lineup isn’t available in Gen5, I’m guessing they will catch those up, first.

 

All the Gen 5 Glocks arnt even out yet. It’s gonna be a LONG time until anything close to a Gen 6 appears IMO. ( and as usual, it will probably be a Glock 17/19 that gets released first in the new Gen 6.

 

🙄

 

Most people just need to learn to shoot the gun they have already instead of looking to get the latest and greatest.

 

I totally agree with you.

 

I prefer guns that didn’t need six revisions to get it right.

USP for the win.

which gun is that?

 

They still haven't decided if the G-41.5 will be a single stack or double.

 

Maybe they'll tighten up the tolerances a bit more, and see if they can get the reliability down a little lower. Kind of a 'worst of both worlds' approach.

 

The Gen5 is said to be 600% more reliable than previous models. That's too reliable. It's rediculous. Let's bring those numbers down a little.

 

Gen 6 is rumored to have plastic sights....

 

and RSA'S.

 

I heard they are going to release the Gen6 along with the PCC............

 

Gen 6 is carbines all the way down.

9mm carbine, .40 carbine, .45 carbine, 10mm carbine, .357 SIG carbine, .380 carbine. Each caliber will come in three different barrel lengths along with the slimline carbines that will still only hold 10 rounds of 9mm.

The 5.56 carbine will be delayed for later release just after the Gen.8 guns.

 

A Gen 6 Glock 49 micro9.

 

I agree. Let's see what the G49 is before worrying about a Gen 6. 🤪

 

The gen 6 double stacked revolvers have sold out on pre-orders. Waiting list is said to be 9 years out.

Sounds like the glockstore will be handling distribution.

 

I heard it will introduce the.40 GAP cartridge....

A .32 ACP necked up to accept the .40 cal. projectile.

 

I have heard some things about revisions that will constitute the Gen6, but I haven't been able to confirm any of them as of yet. I was told there won't be any substantial changes in the overall design, but the trigger guard will receive some attention based on customer comments, what that means, your guess is as good as mine. I suspect a better undercut, and possibly open it up a bit.

I have also heard the grip will loose the hump and a new backstrap will put it back on for those who so wish. Slightly revising the backstrap was also mentioned.

Take all this with a grain of salt, but the above mentioned items could be done with nothing more than a change in the molding dies. None of these thing would change holster, or gear fitment, so it wouldn't cause an aftermarket retooling nightmare.

FWIW this was the same source that told me about the Black G45 model being released long before it was announced, so I put some faith in it. Time will tell.

I do recall your early predictions, so I will accept your rumors as "Top Tier" rumors!

And the description seems pretty logical. As guns are made, dies eventually need to be replaced. Who would NOT anticipate some marketing focal points to be added as a way to drive interest (and thereby sales!). They can phase out old frame molds, and replace with new ones as part of a routine replacement as long as the changes are largely cosmetic and all the prior mechanical bits fit the same.

The hump/no-hump fix could appeal to some, more "tactical" trigger guard (bigger for gloves, smaller for size, or whatever the marketing group chooses to push as a cool new focal point!), and anything "new" or "Gen6" will have a whole boatload of folks looking for an early touch, forum post, or bit of fresh and new! They will provide a sales boost!

Grip areas on the slide, modification to MOS cutouts and sight positions, and new trigger options always seem to get folks talking, so sprinkle on a few of those! Add some military/LEO/stockroom QR codes for sizzle, and call it a day! Little money invested, a nice sales bump, and zero risk from an R&D and reliability standpoint! Win/win/win for Glock!

 

It will be a Glock Carbine capable of shooting down Chinese balloons!

 

What about US-based amateur radio operators' balloons?

 

"reliable rumors" is paradoxical.

 

Trustworthy news then.

 

They will make all pistols with a flat face trigger shoe so they wont have to see all the posts
on... I got a glock trigger finger boo boo, what should I do?

 

The new gen 6 will also come pre-stippled, as well as LNIB, having only seen a few range trips.

 

I actually did hear a very reliable rumor that the next gen would be called gen 6 and they were keeping the name Glock.

 

The gen 6 glocks will only be chambered in 9mm gap.. 1/4 in shorter than 9mm and all the goodness. Cant wait

 

I love where this topic is going. Keep them coming.

 

I heard a rumor the Gen 6 has already been recalled. Well, at least the 9mm GAP models.
