Wow. That means I might start thinking about buying some. Current Glocks have many virtues, but they hurt my hand.
A Glock 19 is always on my “next gun to buy” list. I think I’ll wait for the 4th gen. Looks much improved. Now if they could tweak the trigger just a wee bit.

“Interchangeable Back Straps”
…and Glock moves boldly forward into the late 1990s!
Good to see. Gaston offers a good product, but he’s sat on his laurels long enough that it was really starting to cut into his market share.
Good call on the G19; maybe the best all-’round pistol on the market.

Yeah, the XP and M&P were riding up his butt, big time. Time to improve. Good old free market competition nudges progress along again.

P.S. One thing I’d like to see in the new Glocks is a better way to install CrimsonTrace LaserGrips. They’re sort of bolted on in the current generation.
S&W’s M&P has them as an alternative backstrap that’s way slicker.
