Some features:

1) Slimer Frame Size
2) Ambi Magazine Release
3) Picantinny Rail instead of Glock Light Rail

Theres a thread about the new G21SF (Special Forces models they call it) going on www.californiaccw.org

IIRC, the last slimmer approach they took was from 1.18" wide to 1.13" ... a 4.2% reduction. Hopefully, this one can be ~15% or more. If that were to happen, I'd seriously consider the Glocks. As it is, for me, they're too wide/large for my hands and "print" too much for my tastes (due to width). Good news!

alright ! this is something for me to keep my eye on...

IMO,DON'T preorder anything from TG.

Someone confirm FROM GLOCK of the existance,or soon to be existance, of a "G21SF". Please post if they will confirm. -----

....now hopefully Glock will make a "G20SF"...but I won't hold my breath because I know they won't.

They're going to use the same magazines as the regular 21 so they're not going to be able to slim it down much.
On the other hand, based on the pic, it looks like the "hump" is smaller. Not a bad idea...guess we'll just have to see.

Ambi mag release , hmm That tells me its going to be g4 frames , and will be a different mag design , as i have read , new mags will work in old guns , but old mags wont work in the g4 frame . Looking at the pic it still looks blocky as hell to me . I guess we will just have to wait untill someone sees an example of them and posts compairison pics somewhere .

i'm going to state the (hopefully) obvious here ... "sf" would be "slim frame" vice "special forces"

from the pic if looks like they might have done away with the huge hollow channel in the back of the frame if so bet it will fit hands better now wouldnt mind the smaller frame for my g20
