well excepting the backstrap things, nothing new... i was expecting the grip angle change as the rumor said. nothing realy new. the backstrap will help peoples with small hands wich is nice.

trigger bar looks different

 

[mlehtovaara]

frame does look thinner as well.

Locking block seems to have been beefed up a bit, rails in the frame also look wider and thicker. I'll have to get my hands on one of these.

ETA: Nice work finding these pics, Slavex - thank you!

I need a glock again. I miss my 17C.

Dual recoil spring among other changes - I hope the improvements will increase reliability with G22 and lights mounted.

I think I'll pick up a 4th Gen Glock 22.

4th generation frame on the left , 3rd gen frame on the right.

did they change frames between gen 3 and gen 3.5? because the last picture looks like it should be the other way around gen 3 on the left and gen 4 on the right. just curious becasue my gen 3.5 looks like the one on the left.

The inside of the frame at the dustcover definitely looks different... maybe Glock bit the bullet and put a bit of steel in their frame to reinforce it (such as M&P does)?

I think I'll want one of these Glocks, now that they've incorporated these changes.

The dust cover still pig nose up, the flame looks cheap made.

I don`t think the size of the grip changed much but I do like the idea of the recoil spring.

 

[Onagoth]

What's the purpose of the dual recoil spring?

 

[CdnCombatMedic]

I think I will be keeping my 3rd Gen G17. I dont think there is enough important changes to buy another Glock. I notice that the fish gill cocking serations are gone. I actually liked those on the RTF models.

I am glad they didn't #### with it too much...

Aftermarket backstraps could concievably change the grip angle

 

[Oroborus]

$464 US. Hmmmm...what do you figure, $850 up here?

 

[capp325]

Is the chamber still only partially supported?

Ya but you get that really cool Drink Cozy with it!

Actually, in practice dual spring set ups are pretty much a weak link. If I get one, that bit goes.
