The thing "I" have been waiting for. An ambidextrous, finger groove-less, smooth face trigger... Glock. Most on Facebook are bashing that it's the same old thing but it's really not.

New features, I may forget some. But most are pictured.
42/43 style safety plunger
42/43 trigger mechanics
Smooth face trigger shoe
Ambi slide stop
Flared mag well
Traditional rifling w/ target crown
Longer recoil system (Gen4 barrels will most likely not work since they moved the lug further to the rear)
New baseplates and followers
Two pin trigger group since they say it isn't necessary since there will not be .40 gen5s (read it on a review)
New reliable take-down spring
New nDLC slide finish (Nitride Diamond Like Coating$!%)

I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Gen4 connectors seem to fit
Gen4 plugs fit as well, I have a Vickers in

Don't forget the new improved finish

About that, it is a very deep black. I don't think its anything special though and imagine it getting holster wear by tomorrow from me anyways.

I really wish they would go back to the steel and finish they used on the early to mid gen3's.
