Change grip angle to be natural pointing like the 1911.

Novac sights.

I like the look of the square gun. I'm very partial to the the 2nd generation glocks.

I think they way they look and function is fine the way it is. I would like to see barrels that would shoot cast bullets as well as jacketed bullets to save a little in the reloading deparment but that has nothing to do with cosmetics.

The Glock is a trademark design ... and I don't believe the company will make any radical changes at this point. Although I prefer the nice foward angle look of the slide on the M&P series ...
The grip on the M&P is also nicer.

Charter Arms makes revolvers in pink. Would a pink Glock work for you?

I would like to see Glock do some real innovation. They are sticking with one basic design--but eventually they will be left behind if they don't do any real new design work.

I know it ain't broke, so why try to fix it, but that was the attitude of Checker Cab company and their cars grew obsolete--and the effort to update came too late and too weak. I think Glock could paint themselves into the same position.

glock has a certain functional beauty,and the same goes for any weapon.if they make them too pretty,you'll see them being worn at the miss america pageant,during the swimsuit competition .how cool huh.

They sure could.

The Glock-a-holic's don't want to hear it, but it can happen to any company and has.

Glock lives on basically one design with small variations for barrel length, grip length and caliber.

When Glock was new to the market they had the polymer frame business all to themselves; but nowadays they have an abundance of competition.

Glock runs the real risk of becoming the next Checker Cab Company. A one product company that got left behind eventually. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Checker_Taxi


Glock needs to come out with a weapon to compete with the Kel-Tec PF9 and the Kahr products. Also a version of the Ruger LCP.

They already have the market for the police arms; why give up the back up weaponry to others?

The styling of the Glock is immaterial to the primary customers (police and military) and I would not bother with that at all. Indeed the appearance is their trademark.

But they need to turn out some contemporary weapons.

А как вам нравится такая альтернатива Глоку?....

.45 GAP any role in your designs?

As the start of this thread pre-dated the last two changes to the Glock lineup (the RTF and the Gen4 pistols), I think we can put this one to bed now.

Thanks to all that participated!
