Looks like what?
Honestly you think the gen 4 is a bad design or looks like crap, I think you need to take look at your Beretta with the messed up safety and the goofy open barrel, may be the worst design ever, the gen 4 gets your hand higher and keeps your mitt stuck to the grip, bye bye skateboard tape, and the fish gills give the slide not only a cool look, but better functionality. I love the changes.
Gen 4 17 will be my next glock to coddle.....

How exactly do the new serrations give it better functionality?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If you pickup the gun and need a reminder from the slide to tell you which end the bullets come out of, you shouldn't be picking it up in the first place.

Tried the new 'improved' G22 grip....
It blows.....If you don't like the original, then skate tape is still going to work better.
As well, the slide serrations don't 'grip' any better than the originals....
As an avowed Glock supporter, I conclude that this 'gen 4 improvement' is just marketing bulls**t to appease dealers' calls for 'improvements' to sell more Glocks in the face of competition from Springfield, S&W, etc......
Glock should have done the obvious...make an 'adjustable' backstrap/grip as has been offered by all of the players who have taken huge chunks out of Glock's initial dominance in the police market...
Glock's indifference to changes, and challenges, in the marketplace is going to come back and bite them on the ass....bigtime.
As has been suggested, you should run out and buy up whatever 'old' generation Glock that strikes your fancy, while you can still get a reasonable deal.....

played with a RTF2 Glock 22 yesterday. no live fire, just handling. I liked it. Much much grippier (is that a word?). More comfortable than skateboard tape, and the serrations were easier to manipulate with gloves on, and gloves off. While esthetically it might not be an improvement, I think it does make the gun easier to control and operate.
