Yesterday I was able to go out on the range for the first time with my new G19. Straight away, I was more accurate than I am with my Sig. I know that's not the Sig's fault. That's between the ears. But I did think it would take some getting used to, and it really didn't. Maybe a Glock just suits my hand better.

The G20 came with a lone wolf 6" Stainless barrel, as well as the stock barrel. I'm pretty new to this sport, so I was wondering how good the lone wolf barrels are. I got home late, so only put one round through it just because. I am hoping to get home before dark tonight, and try it out, with both barrels.

Well, Couldn't wait for the end of the work day.
I went out at lunch and ran through about 50 rounds. Since this is a glock, where would be the appropriate place to get feedback on the glock?
Is the sigforum ok with that? Is there a more appropriate thread here, or should I be looking for another forum?

Thanks,

So I picked up my LAV G19 RTF2 yesterday. My first impression is that the RTF2 texture, upon close inspection, is not exactly the same as the original RTF2. The G22 RTF2 that I had (complete with half-moon serrations) was like shark skin or cat's tongue. There were somewhat pointy caps on those polymids. These seem to be capless, and terminate at the top with a square profile, much like the polymids on the G42. Also missing from the low edge of the right side of the gripframe is the patent number window. Others have said they feel the same, but I am fairly convinced this is a revision of the RTF2 texture. It's entirely possible that I'm completely wrong, but at the very least, these pistols were not made from the same molds as the original RTF2 pistols.

That said, I really like it so far, and this model solved two complaints I had about my G22 RTF2. One being that the RTF2 texture was a bit too aggressive for IWB carry and, for me, relegated it to nighstand duty. For whatever reason, the texture seems slightly less aggressive and I think it will be more comfortable to carry IWB. The other being the slide finish texture is more like phosphate, and easy to grip anywhere along the length of the slide. The original RTF2's have the super slick slide finish that was difficult for me to grip with any authority anywhere but the half-moon serrations.

I installed the extended slide lock and magazine release and love them. Haven't, and probably won't mess with the baseplates. I love the sight picture. All this pistol needs is a smooth face trigger, grip plug, an Inforce APL and it's well on the way to becoming my favorite Glock.

I have to wonder if this is perhaps a limited test run preview of what to expect with the gen 5 Glock. This frame texture with the Gen 4 mag release and dual recoil spring would sell like hotcakes. There was some theorizing when the original RTF2's came out that it was a test run for the gen 4, and people complained about how aggressive the texture was, and then when the gen 4's hit, the polymids were the same shape but bigger and fewer. The G42 has smaller and more polymids at maybe half height. This run of pistols has even more and even smaller at maybe 3/4 height.

If anyone has a NIB RTF2 from the original run and is willing to take some extreme close-up pics of the polymids, I would sure be interested to have a look. My eyes and hands tell me this pistol is different.

Score!

To re-iterate: The texture difference is subtle enough, but I notice it. I think it's a good thing that it's slightly less aggressive. If you are willing to check me on this, I would really appreciate it if and when you get the chance to reply back.

Like I say, I don't have one of the originals on hand to compare against. This pistol's texture is different.

Being a striker fired pistol and having a "plastic frame", this is as close to a glock as I will get. Can this count as You will buy a Glock?
