GLOCK 21SSSSF, or Single Stack Super Slim Fit, the production gun will be marketed simply as the GLOCK 1911 Gen 4

Here it is at shotshow

Update: Only hours after the 1911 Gen4 rollout,GLOCK announced that they are no longer taking orders for the pistol as they were immediately swamped with thousands of backorders. GLOCK cannot build complete guns quickly enough to meet demand due to the 2012 Lanyard Loop Shortage, of which we are all aware.

An unholy alliance of the best and the worst.... Shame to mar an 1911 in such a way.. and yes Im just picking so dont take it serious...

The GLOCK 1911 Gen4 breaks from GLOCK tradition in its use of an exposed hammer instead of GLOCK’s signature striker-firing system. To ensure safety, the single-action-only firing mechanism is protected by no less than 12 safety systems including the integral trigger safety, grip safety, thumb safety, other thumb safety, slide lock safety, half-cock safety, and 3 triple-redundant firing pin safeties. The inside of the slide is rumored to be a maze of springs and detents, but no images will be allowed until Brinks gets their approval paperwork back from the U.S. Patent Office.

funny how they'd announce this today.

At today’s press conference, GLOCK spokesman Frederich Unterwafflen appeared to react angrily when asked why the 1911 Gen 4 carries only 8 rounds of ammunition in its magazine, compared to the GLOCK 21 and 21SF which carry 13 rounds. “What, are you planning on missing a lot because you shoot like a sissy?” Unterwafflen responded.

lol
