What's new from Glock?
While Glock hasn't announced any new guns, they do have a few new features and products coming out very soon (some of them may already be available by the time you read this).

Glock Night Sights
Glock is now making their own night sights. They are purchasing the tritium tubes from another manufacturer and embedding them into a set of steel sights. Reports indicate that they glow very brightly in the dark and feature white rings that give an excellent daytime sight picture as well. The cost is around $57.00. The only potential drawback to the sights is that the front sight is staked on rather than screwed on. This may require a special tool to remove the front sight without damaging it in the process. The Glock night sights are shown in the 2002 Glock Autopistols/Glock Annual and have already appeared on some new Glocks.



Optional Internal Lock
The Glock lock is another item featured in the 2002 Glock Autopistols/Glock Annual. The system resides in the hollow backstrap and comes with two keys. When locked, the magazine release and slide still function but the trigger does not. This allows the gun to be loaded or unloaded while it is locked.



Glock Light
The Glock light was displayed at the 2002 Shot Show. It slides onto any rail equipped Glock much like the M3 light that is available today.

Glock Box
Another item that debuted at the 2002 Shot Show is the new Glock box. This box is foamed lined, lockable, and will be used for all new Glocks sometime later this year.

Loaded Chamber Indicator
To comply with the ever-tightening gun laws of some states, Glock has added a loaded chamber indicator to all models. The indicator is simply a re-shaped extractor that sticks out from the side of the slide when a round is in the chamber.
