That is the RTF version of the Glock right? I really liked that look. Do they still make that? Or is it a thing of that past?

Eh stock trigger will be fine. It's going to be a house/defense gun. Most I'd do for the trigger is the Spikes Battle Trigger.

I want an AK too but my department will only let us use 5.56/.223 AR-15 for the rifle class and such. Gonna get some free training out of this, Patrol Rifle class, night shoot class, and active shooter class. :D

No, the RTF or gen 3.5 was uncomfortable so they pulled the plug. I do like the crescent shaped slide grasping groves.

I had one on my first AR build(sold that rifle to a co-worker a long time ago)
I don't mind it. I'll pick up the spikes battle trigger eventually

To me, it's not an assault rifle unless it's full auto and shoots small caliber rifle ammo.

Yep. It's just a rifle. Period.

Don't know if it is a thing of the past or not. Do believe it is the RTF version though I am not sure if it is gen 3.5 or gen 4. How does one tell?

As for uncomfortable? Wow! I liked it because it was more comfortable than my S&W.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Forget this question, it is the grip expansions for the back (backstraps?) are on the gen 4 and the rest of the changes are internal. Mine is therefor a gen 3.

As for uncomfortable? Wow! I liked it because it was more comfortable than my S&W.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Notes in red above.

The rtf's were considered gen 3, some called them gen 3.5??! The gen 4 has adjustable back straps, ambidextrous mag release, a one peace captive recoil guide rods (just lie the G26&27) and a different grip texture (not the same as the rtf)and they all come with 3 mags. The dead give away that you have a rtf is the crescent shaped slide serrations.

All my glocks are gen 3, I don't care for or need the adjustable back strap which is kind of cheesy. I think glock should have made the adjustable back straps that they slide in rather then fit over top of the back strap. As a right handed shooter I will also never reverse by mag release, they have the frame hogged out on both sides to accommodate this feature!!(yuk)

In 2009 my gun shop ordered me new gen 3 G22 and what came in was the rtf, I trade it before the month was over cause the texture on the grips was too much and went thru me like nails on a chalk board.

At end of the day If I had to rely on modern pistols any glock would be my first choice, enjoy.

Great looking lower. I picked up a tee shirt for my 14yr old son that has the Punisher logo on it and he had no idea what it was, LOL. The little punk won't wear it, guess its going back.
I just picked up a aero precision lower that I'm going use for my 18" build. Love my ARs. Head over to AR15.com, if you haven't already, great group of guys over there.
