That has the new Battleworn coating, saw one at my LGS last night, even the big G is into marketing different coatings.




Legal Manufacturing’s latest offering is the NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21. The factory Glock® is modified to improve the functionality, balance and assist with weapon manipulation. The factory Glock® 21 slide is plated in Legal Manufacturing’s patent pending NIB BATTLEWORN®. The factory Glock® 21 barrel and additional Lone Wolf Alpha threaded barrel and cap are plated in a matte variant of Legal Manufacturing, LLC’s proprietary NIB ONE®. Legal Manufacturing’s nickel boron plated surfaces reduce the operating friction of the firearm due to the low static coefficient of friction without the need for lubrication. Legal Manufacturing has made the additional modifications to enhance the performance of the NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21:

added forward serrations and weight reducing side and top slide cuts;
removed the finger grooves, reduced the pistol grip and undercut the trigger guard;
added a unique stippled texture to the pistol grip;
added a NIB BATTLEWORN® plated SSVi Tyr trigger; which was designed to be the next evolution in an EDC/duty trigger and maintains all current safeties built into the Glock Safe Action system but enhances the leverage used when actuating trigger; and added Glock® factory night sights.

I have a Gen 2 Glock 17 police trade-in that is naturally "battle-worn" but I would not buy a new gun that was artificially aged.

all the girls nowadays buy jeans with holes already in them.

I remember when jeans were blue, like really blue!


Now I can say, i remember when Glocks were black!

It actually looks pretty good in person, not in the market myself but it sure stands out in the case, much better than the odd Battle Tan or Oh DEE green or Lipsey grey models, at least it looks metalically...

Not my cup of tea.

In all fairness though, at least it doesn't look like somebody dropped a grenade on it. Razz

Why? What does it do that a standard Glock cannot?

Low friction, huh? Yeah, that's always been an issue with Glocks, right?

Cutting holes in the slide? Pointless except for movie prop masters, or competition shooters running powder puff loads.

Pass

To each his own, I prefer the "earned it" route.

Holy shit that is fantastic!!! I can't stop laughing damn near crying!


For ME:
DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9
Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

The finish is pretty attractive, I think.
The name put me off, though.

I don't want "Battle"-anything. I've never been in a battle.

I didn't serve and I respect the sacrifices of anyone who ever did.

I'll take mine in black.

YMMV,

Bruce






"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I don't mind wear, but I strongly prefer it to be honest. There's been big money in beating guitars to shit and selling them as "relics". I'm surprised it has taken this long to get to the gun market.
