About the Gun

The Gen 4 series of Glock pistols were introduced in 2010. Like most new polymer framed pistols the Gen 4 series features interchangeable grip inserts. The Gen 4 series also incorporates a dual recoil spring assembly, a feature only in previous generations' compact models. Other features include a reversible magazine release, a Tenifer matte finish slide and new grip texture. Changes in the Gen 4 design are significant enough such that not all parts can be mixed and matched with previous Glock generations.

Analysis

This compact 9mm pistol is a solid choice for concealed carry and personal defense, offering a blend of reliability and user-friendly design. Its accuracy is commendable for a subcompact firearm, delivering consistent performance at typical self-defense ranges. The ergonomic grip, adjustable with modular backstraps, accommodates a variety of hand sizes, enhancing comfort during extended use. Reliability is a key asset, with a proven track record of functioning under diverse conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to ensure optimal performance. Parts availability may pose challenges in certain regions, potentially delaying repairs. The trigger pull, averaging around 5.5 pounds, provides a predictable break, though some users might find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is moderate for its size, manageable for most shooters with proper grip and stance, making it a practical option for everyday carry.
