Someone check my math on this.
2.95mm - average width of serrations on a few of my Glocks 1.65mm - serration of Twitter pic 101.32mm - length of slide of Twitter pic 101.32/1.65 = 61.406 61.406 * 2.95 = 181.147 It's hard to accurately measure a picture but screwing around with the numbers here would put the new Glock slide at around 180mm. That seems long. Note that I am not mathematician. . Also note that the image measurements will differ from screen to screen depending on resolution etc. Thoughts |

Notice the amount of serrations in rear? Six, same as G42. G17 and G26 had eight serrations. Does anyone know if other models has 6 serrations like 42? Yea. A double stack G42.
That would be hilarious and almost par for the course with Glock. I'd like to believe the G43 will be a SS 9mm but I've been disappointed too many times in the past. |

I did this assuming the serrations at the rear of the slide would be consistent with all my other Glocks. Comparing the serration width of the image with actual serrations gives an idea of the scale. Again I could we way off but it's making sense in my head. |

http://www.triangletactical.net/2015/03/11/photo-forensics-new-glock-ad-with-slide-profile/ Detailed analysis 
If you look at what I have circled in the picture, you’ll notice that the chamber on this new Glock seems to be a little teeny bit longer than the chamber of the Glock 42.
What cartridge is a little teeny bit longer than a .380ACP? Could it be the 9mm Luger? http://www.triangletactical.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/this-spring-slide-vs-G42.jpg I just noticed that too. On a g42 the ejection port is about the same length as 5 slide serrations. On the teaser pic it is 6 serrations long. But the slide appears to be g42 length. |

It would be nice, because my wife right now carries a Shield and that Shield is just not up to Glock standards IMO. It has an issue with the magazine release rusting and creating difficulty when seating magazines as I discovered through use of it. With the Gen 4 grip texture I think it will have a much nicer grip texture than the Shield as well. So, I'm pretty pumped to get one for my wife.
However, even with Glock I don't think I'll sign-up to be the Beta Tester here and let you folks run them for a year before we get it. |

I don't expect a slide to be too much thinner, they'll want to make it in 40 to fill the niche so expect it to be pretty close to the 26 slide. I might be wrong but if I was doing it that's what I would do. |
