Only if you think success is somehow funny. Glock is one of the most successful pistol designs in modern history. Why would you want to change that?
Most gun companies that are constantly chasing "innovation", are usually chasing more proven designs like Glock. You saw what happened when Coke tried to reinvent itself through "innovation". It was a total disaster. When something isn't broken you don't try to constantly fix it.
I get that their formula works, but the way that they grandly announce each "generation" is a joke when each generation is adding/removing finger grooves, grip lengths, slide lengths, slide serrations, frame colors, etc.
At this point why not just condense all the improvements into a single generation for each model number and call it good?
It seems like they're mostly trying to justify having law enforcement agencies buy new guns. If nothing changed then the agencies wouldn't get the funding.
