      You're not in the minority, it's just that the extreme gun hobbyists afficionados are a loud and obnoxious minority. The Glock is the most ubiquitous pistol out there, and since guns are their entire personality, they try to make themselves unique by trying to distance themselves from the most common pistol on the market.

    hate to say it, but the echelon was probably everything that glock was thinking about doing for gen 6. the modular chassis, great trigger, great updated slide features, excellent optic system, good set of irons, i really love the echelon. i like how the grip frame profile is shaped like a gen 3 glock but with gen 5 ambi controls. the echelon is by far my favorite striker to day. hate to say it because its a springgfield, but i gotta give em credit. they nailed it, the gun just tracks flat and is a tack driver. they got the barrel lug unlock dwell timing down really good

      Pretty much this. What really helps the Echelon as well is the universal optics mount, which seemingly works exceptionally well. That'd be exactly the sort of thing that would reassert Glock dominance if they were indeed the ones to do it first, but they're all in on MOS, and HS beat them to the punch.

    The PDP trigger has more to do with the fully cocked striker and the P-99 type sear in the PDP than the trigger itself. It is the same reason why Canik is recognized as having great triggers because they use the P-99 sear.

      @garyvalenti1019 The Walther P-99 is a pistol that Canik copied the trigger design from. Try a Canik Rival and you will experience heaven in a handgun trigger stock out of the box. The fully pre-cocked striker eliminates the creep you feel in other guns with partially cocked striker systems. In those type trigger systems the creep you feel after the wall is actually the sear drawing the striker back the rest of the way to the fully cocked position, then it breaks and the gun fires. The P-99 trigger is the best striker design trigger and the break can come close to a 1911 trigger. My modified Canik Rival-S breaks clean at 3 pounds with no creep.

      Trijicon makes great dots, but the footprint sucks and has hindered their design. DPP footprint can take an RMR plate (Sig and Staccato do this), so go that route. If you absolutely must have a direct mount RMR, there’s a ton of aftermarket slide options.

    Maybe this will be a controversial opinion, but - the glock being almost the same it always been has been a key to retaining its market value: backwards compatible, not overly expensive, reliable and ready to have any part of it replaced by extensive aftermarket & accessories offer. I believe the best value for customer is just that: options to upgrade it in any way you see fit, or just leave it as it is for a good purchase value (see a lots of discounts on them in Europe at least) Should it be up to me, having any kind of parallel tuned-up version would be a way to go. For me, Echelon just offerred way more for comparable price. But I can imagine people that play with these guns a lot themselves would still look for the cheapest base version.

    What I want to see in a gen 6 glock is a serialized chassis, an option to keep the current grip angle or to change it, an option for a thumb safety, ditch the MOS system for something better, a reinforced slide so it doesnt crack if you accidentally drop it on a hard surface while its disassembled from the frame, a reinforced dust cover to eliminate pig nose and an option for steel mags while still being compatible with current polymer mags. If that seems too much for glock, then maybe the glock can just turn into a sarsilmaz SAR 9 gen 3 😅 Oh boy, that gun feels so much better than a glock gen 5.

    3. Factory adjustable iron sights with fiberoptic front sight on the competition model.
    4. The new TriggerTech trigger will be a big improvement( completely different design, disconnector moved to the slide). Glock should use them or a similar design.
    5. Make the Competition model with a 5inch barrel ( its stupid that IPSC does not allow the 34 in production and USPSA will be defunct as an org soon)

    Agreed on those three things and I would add my tinfoil theory:
    I think gen6 will come with a similar concept of SIG's FCU so the frame and slide are not serialized and can be bought off the shelf. That will allow Glock to create different grip modules and crank those out like chocolate chip cookies to stoners.
    Additionally, the MOS should be re-worked, either by offering OEM metal plates that are as reliable (if not more) than the FCD plates OR by sticking to a single optic footprint like the RMR (just like SIG did with the RMSc).

    - Screw the current GPT. Don’t half-ass a comp trigger. Lean into it. It needs travel adjustments, or at least a way to cut down on zero-weight overtravel. Integrate it into a G6 “performance” line with comp triggers as a factory option.
    - MOS needs a redo. License one of the improved systems as a factory option, and while we’re at it, kill the rear slide dovetail. Integrate a rear sight into the cover plate. One less machining cut on all slides and another high profit margin accessory (different OEM rear sight cover plates-e.g., a target model, a suppressor height model for guns with high front sights).

I’ve never been able to do that with other brands. Some may argue it doesn’t matter or that it isn’t common, but it was common in those Glocks I’ve had an opportunity to check. It would stand to reason that a loose barrel fit would impact accuracy.
