Attended my re-certification for being an armorer on the Glock. Have to say, my cert had been up a couple of years and this was by far, the best class I've been to covering this material. Joel Hodges, the instructor, knows his stuff and he makes the Glock "Kool-Aid" taste pretty damn good.
Got to play around with the new RTF Glock on a G22. I'll be ordering mine on Friday. Gave us the word on the Glock .45 GAP and how that round stacks up against the .45 auto. Said that the Florida Highway Patrol is FINALLY dumping their Beretta's for the G37. Sounds interesting. There are already a handful of agencies using this round.
Said tentatively, at the first of the year we'll see a new, beefier G22 slide, and that ALL of the standard models will be coming in the "SF" size as an option.
Glock will also be making available changeable backstraps as some of you on here have said you'd like to see. Doesn't Smith and the XD do this? Apparently people have been writing Glock a lot and they're going to be offering this fairly soon as well. The grip will be the same, so for those of us that like it, great. Those that don't, you'll have at least two (I think he said) other pieces you can add to your liking.
Glock is also about to (year or so), release a rifle, based on the Bull Pup platform. And finally, Glock will also have a line of shotguns in the near future as well.
Which/what items Glock brings to the table for show at the first of the year is anybody's guess he says. Said that Glock now has 80% of the LE market here in the US. Excellent training day. As a new firearms instructor, I can honestly say that I did learn a ton of stuff I was clueless on. Anyway, there's some stuff, thought I'd through it out for y'all.
