Haven’t held one yet but am wondering, did they reduce the overall girth of the grip?

Yes, the overall circumference does feel reduced. But the grip fills rounder in the front and back of the pistol. It doesn't quite feel as "blocky" as the previous generations did. It's been a while since I've held one but if I remember correctly, it feels similar to the Eschelon.

How’s it feel in hand? Is the palm swell significant?

The front of the grip feels the most different to me. The really rounded it out. I liked it enough that I bought it.

Undercut, beavertail (I get slide bite on the old Glocks) and the grip texture are ideal for me.

I have NEVER had slide bite on any of my Glocks, so the beaver tail is a non issue for me. I am a fan of the blocky grip angle on the Glocks. So I hope the new “rounded” off grip doesn’t turn me away. Dibs on your gun when you decide to sell it! lol

I ride the gun really high and have really large hands. The smaller ones are worse but it can still happen on a 17.

I’m very into my P30 and P30L right now. But I will always have a Glock. I like the ergonomics so much better on the Gen 6.

I’m heavily invested in the Gen 5 Glocks, so I’m not going to replace them. I will check out the new Gen 6 when my LGS gets them in. Probably check out a 19, since I already have two 17s.
 
Built this set up for a fellow BF member. A Horsewright Cowboy model in Buckeye Burl with an Ironwood spacer in 26C3 high carbon steel. Leather work hand tooled with a Carlos Border stamp.

The knife was clay coated during heat treat for what I call a working hamon:

Fantastic work, Dave. The BF member that gets that rig will no doubt be extremely pleased. 👍
