Would you still buy gen 3 glocks if you can't buy gen 4 glocks?

[hermosabeach]

I never saw the need for Gen 4

Does anyone use any back strap other than the one that is the same size as the Gen 3?

The old recoil spring works just fine....

no big deal....

I prefer Gen 3's.

You beat me to it. Given the apples to apples choice I'd take a gen 3

[axhoaxho]

I have Gen 2/3/4 Glock's.

I have regular-size hands, and I am right-handed. Between my Gen 3 and Gen 4 -- I could hardly feel the differences, and I shot them both equally well.

Sure, I wouldn't mind to have the Gen 4 just because, but in California here the Gen 3 is fine by me.

Now that there is no sse option to get a current gen model do you lose much improvement settling for gen 3.

I prefer Gen4 due to feel and I dig the HK style double recoil spring... Especially in >9mm calibers. Mostly I like the Beavers.

I have to change my grip on my G17 Gen3 in order to reach the mag release. The Gen4 looks like it would solve that issue.

I still have GEN 3 in my duty holster, own GEN2/3/4 and like them all. My facorite is my G19 GEN2.

3rd and 4th gen? Heck I'm still rocking a Gen 2 G19!

[SB1964]

I bought my first Glock in the early 90's. I've never shot or even thought about buying a gen 4. I love a nice beaver!

[knk113]

I purchased Gen3 G19 last year as brand new. Initially I planned to pick up G26 but as soon as G19 fitted my hand like condom I bought it. I would still pick my Gen3 over Gen4 despite the fact I am left handed shooter and G4 can switch mag release...

The G42 is not Gen 4.You will note that Glock does not call it Gen 4, and Gen 4 does not appear on the slide. Since it is a new type of pistol from Glock, maybe it is Gen 1.

Thanks for the education! I never really paid attention, which I should. I just assumed that with the duel recoil spring bumped it up to a GEN 4 version.

Also, I think I quickly read somewhere that Gen 3 sub compacts have duel springs?

Even when we had SSE, I still preferred and continued purchasing Gen 3's.

[ElDub1950]

I've had Gen 3s for awhile. Bought a Gen 4 G34 last year and like it a lot. But still bought a Gen 3 G17 last month and DROSing a Gen 3 G26 tomorrow.

So, I guess, No, not being able to buy new Gen 4s doesn't really matter to me.

Kind of interesting that the new G42 & G43 and not Gen 4, but the new G40 and G41 are.

Then there's the G24 which is a .40 cal version of the G17L, but they didn't call it the G22L. And neither of them are referred to as Gen 3 or Gen 4.

IMO not thing much diff between gen3 and 4, just the proudy off list fancy make the gen 4 cost more for the $ LOL. I perfer the less $ the better. Just my 2 cents

[QUOTE=Beetle Bailey;16228794]Do not need the adjustable backstraps, so I actually prefer gen 3 anyways. /QUOTE]
