A U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircraft assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron takes off from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, Oct. 6, 2014, during RED FLAG-Alaska 15-1. RF-A is a series of Pacific Air Forces commander-directed field training exercises for U.S. and partner nation forces, providing combined offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.

Whoops. A gun shop that calls itself the #1 Glock dealer in Georgia just took a #2 on Glock’s carefully scripted release plan for their Gen4 pistols. Check out the photos and details posted on Ed’s Public Safety’s Facebook page. The changes are pretty evolutionary, as opposed to revolutionary, so they shouldn’t cause a fan-boy revolt. The changes mostly bring Glock up to feature parity with it’s polymer-framed competitors.

Here’s a quick rundown.

  • Looks like the G17 and G22 are the first out of the chute.
  • New, less pointy RTF texture
  • New dual stage recoil spring
  • 3 backstrap sizes included
  • User configurable mag release can run on either side of the grip
  • Right side mag release requires the use of new Gen4 mags
  • LEO price for the G22 is right around $500

Merry Christmas!
