Perfection?
For years, if you asked a class full of students—or even instructors—about Glock, you’d hear the same things repeated. “They’re reliable.” “They just work.” “They’re simple.” You’d also hear the other side of it.
“The grip isn’t great.” “I had to modify mine to make it feel right.” “The optics setup could be better.”
And the honest answer, for a long time, was that both sides were right.
That’s what makes the new Glock Gen 6 worth paying attention to. In a recent article from our friends at Gun Talk, entitled “Gen 6 Is the Best Factory Glock Ever,” the authors make a strong case that Glock has finally done something it’s been slow to do in the past—they listened to shooters. Not in the sense of chasing trends or reinventing the platform, but by focusing on the things that actually matter when the gun is in your hands on the range—or when it matters most in a defensive situation.
The Gen 6 keeps the core of what Glock has always done right—the same proven system that built its reputation—but refines the areas shooters actually interact with. It’s less about changing the gun and more about finally improving how the shooter connects with it. For those of us who spend time on the range—whether as students working to improve or instructors helping others along the way—that’s worth paying attention to.
If you’re running a Glock now, thinking about buying one, or just curious whether the next generation is actually different, this is a solid deep dive.
