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

I sold both my Gen4's, not for profit (basically my cost) and dont regret it. Other than the better backstrap, the additional recoil (its not pronounced but noticible for those that shoot Glock's alot) and the issues with the extractors, the tradeoff to the Gen 3 wasn't worth it to me.

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

Key word "SETTLING".

Isn't Kalifornia an amazing state!!

To me it doesn't matter really. The only Gen 4 i've tried is the 42 and its ok. The rest I have are Gen 3's. If the prices come down a little more in the Gen 4's Ill consider it, but I'm ok shooting Gen 3's for now. In my opinion, companies will eventually stop making aftermarket parts for the Gen 3 as more generations come out, but I'll cross that bridge when i get there.

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.

Yes, i don't think glock 42 is gen 4. My glock 42 slide does not have gen 4 label imprinted on it.

I don't really see much of a choice for most people if they want a Glock in Calif.
I only have one plastic gun, a 21SF, and I don't see anything wrong with it besides being plastic. If I were to want another I don't see why a gen 3 would be a bad thing. If we were in AZ I'm sure I'd just look for the better price.

I really like my Gen4 G34 since I have large hands and shoot left-handed. The reason I went for the Gen4 was the double recoil spring (longer life), large mag release and back straps. Happen to really like the beaver tail back strap. Also going SSE was another way to say FU to the stupid CA handgun laws.

My only complaint is the finger molded hand grip which feel less form fitting for my hand. I also have a Gen4 G35 but actually plan to sell because I'm not really digging .40 cal that much.

Gen 3 is fine and I'm ok with having only those

that being said, i'm not okay with the state telling me i can't have a gen 4.

[rmatt]

gladly as i prefer the 3rd gen to the gen4

[bizarrocolin]

I really want a g40...other than that, I wouldn't give up my Gen 3 20 and 29.

[deckhandmike]

Ugh, being a lefty with swollen, tore up hands I would love a gen 4.

[bsg]

Gen 3 is fine; my preference is Gen 2.

[Area 52]

Nothing awful about the gen 3's, but any time I see a RTF2 I snap that baby up.

[stormvet]

I prefer the gen 4's, but there is nothing wrong with the 3's I own 5 of them.

[longrifle1]

Love the Gen 3. Well proven, ultra reliable. I plan on buying a few more.
