Re: MADE IN USA-Glock 19
Is it a gen 3 or gen 4?
The USA made G19 were made in both.
I have a gen 4 USA and it is just like the Austrian models. I see no differences other than the made in USA and the Georgia proof marks.

I prefer made in Austria but I believe all newly made Glocks are equal. I don't believe either uses the tennifer process any more.

Re: MADE IN USA-Glock 19
"Tennifer" refers to the heat treatment on the slide and it is a trade name, just like "Melonite" is the trade name. Both refer to basically the same ferritic nitrocarburizing process (aka salt bath nitriding) which case hardens the steel and adds rust resistance. Glock does not use that "tennifer" name anymore (german trade name) but the process the current slides go through is essentially the same.
The finish they use now (the more gray color finish) does not have anything to do with tennifer. However the new finish does seem to wear quicker than the black finish.
Put some rounds through the new 19 and see how she shoots.Last edited by dkf; March 26th, 2014 at 08:50 PM.
