Dono, they call it Diamond...something
Diamond Something? I think she dances at Brad's on Tuesdays and the weekends. What's she got to do with Glocks?
I'm not sure Glocks was the word used in that association...
Technically DLC= Diamond Like Carbon. It is a carbon base coating that mimics a thin layer of diamond. Very hard , 70+ Rc. Very smooth. Can be issues with adhesion on some substrates, and despite reputation, does not have inherent lubricity. Works very well with oil/grease. Can gall in dry sliding.
I wonder if the 17M/19M models will be available for sale to the public?
I would imagine Glock will fill LE/FBI orders first, then maybe release for public sale next year
Hopefully, we will starting seeing them as used police trades in 3-4 years.

So it's a gen 1 g17 with different texture and a rail?
They are only producing 10,000 of the m series. Not sure how many of these changes make it to the Gen 5 guns. I've heard that a Gen 5 might be awhile
They are going back to a traditional barrel and not the Glock type we're used to....
I'd definitely get it if the mag release is actually ambi and not just swappable.
Anybody know why they are shifting from polygonal rifling (assuming that is what is changing?).
Ballistic fingerprint is one speculation?Anybody know why they are shifting from polygonal rifling (assuming that is what is changing?). Did someone require to be able to shoot lead?

Anyone know why they switched to this from their previous nitrogen-impregnating metal treatment? Is it cheaper?
And several other changes.
