I joined the DARK SIDE.

[toddcraft33]

I bought my first Glock, it's a 22 RTF with gills. After a trip to the range we will see if it becomes a family member, or gets put up for adoption.

Welcome to the dark side! If you plan CC'ing that thing it will wear a hole in a shirt/under shirt rather quickly. That RTF grip is pretty sharp. Post a Pic.

Welcome to the "Darkside" then!

I've never handled the RTF, is it rougher than the gen 4?

Can't say compared to a Gen4 (never handled one) but i carry the exact same gun as the OP...except mine has straight serrations in the slide and not the gills.

The feel of an RTF (Rough Textured Frame) is extremely aggressive...i usually compare mine to a medium grit sandpaper. I would take a guess as say that its the same feel as Talon Grips (http://talongungrips.com/grips/glock/) but ive never handled a gun with those on it.

Some say its rough enough to rub holes in a tucked in shirt, but i have never experienced this and i carry mine IWB. I do know that it is rough enough to leave a slight "burn" on your forearm if you swing your arms when you walk (ask me how i know )

That being said...i wouldn't want any other stock Glock frame. It gives such a positive grip, im confident that i could hold on to it even if my hands were covered in water, sweat, blood, and/or motor oil

 

[Godbybe]

That sounds allot more aggresive than the gen 4.

 

[DKY197]

I was comparing the two yesterday, and the RTF is more aggresive than the Gen 4. The owner of the two I was comparing has had probably 10 glocks in 5 years and has never traded the RTF, which was his first. Good find.

You will like that Glock, it is the most reliable gun I own and super easy to maintain.

 

[jimbobcooters]

I like the look of that. Welcome to the darkside.

Did you handle the M&P prior to purchasing the Glock? If so how did you choose the Glock over the M&P? For me, the M&P wins everywhere...looks, ergonomics(feel), trigger, grip angle, steel magazines, and made in America. Not trying to turn this into a debate...this is a question for the OP only.

I have never held the M&P, but I knew the model of Glock was no longer available. Years from now someone might ask if I have seen a Glock with gills, and I can say I have one.

I have not had any issues with putting holes in shirst since upgrading to a good holster!

Welcome to the Dark Side, brother.
As Youngda9 said, the M&P is also a great piece of equipment, the only down side I see is costing twice as much to upgrade the trigger.

How much do you charge to upgrade the trigger, and what days are you at USDS?

Luke, I am your father. Just kidding, not that dark side! Congrats!

I want some gills. I see a gilled Glock 19 and this will occur then thisthen this

 

[toddcraft33]

I hear the 19 is hard to find. I don't think they made as many.

What type of holster are you using? IWB or OWB?

 

[Moorephine]

It will go bang when you pull the trigger! I love my Glock, hope you enjoy yours too!
