And the new FBI handgun is.......

Yes, backstraps and a dot connector. TOTALLY different.

Magwell, ambi slide stop, different rifling, different finish, different RSA, carry melted/beveled slide, and more... No one who likes Glocks wants totally different. If they did they would buy something else...

...The T&E guys said the test pistol was more accurate, though.

Interesting.

Think "ice frozen on a trampoline." That's DLC applied to a soft base.

It is particularly not so good at harder impacts. It's hard, but brittle. So if you apply the DLC over something that is much softer, it can fracture and peel off. Best to keep on already hardened parts Rc60 or better. Or so I'm told by knowledgeable folks.

Not a Glock fan, the grips are too big. If they make smaller grips like HK or Sig, I may consider to buy one.

As I stated previously it's basically a G-43 scaled up. I was told today, In an effort to minimize the number of parts they are now using the coil spring that, on the earlier guns, was used under the firing pin safety, in that location as well as on the redesigned slide stop and under the slide lock. From what I can gather something about the harmonics of dry firing can cause the slide lock to dislodge allowing the slide to leave the frame. Redesign should be as simple as a stronger spring or replacing the coil with the leaf type spring that has served them very well since the Gen 1s. Just my opinion.
I also heard that they all shot to the right of point of aim. Not sure what would cause that but Glock has to stop letting their customers sort out the bugs in their new designs or it is going to bite them in the a&& big time.
