Buying a Glock (Gen4 or nah?)

I have a Gen 3 G23-RTF2 and it fits my hands perfectly. The Gen 4 would be worth the extra money if you need the backstrap adjustability. I think Gen 4 also has reversible mag release.

It all depends on how the Gen3 feels to you. If you want the ability to get a slightly larger or smaller grip then you should get the Gen4. If the Gen3 feels good there's not much use in paying the extra money for the Gen4. *Although keep in mind that the Gen4 guns come with 3 mags whereas the Gen3 only come with 2 mags so you are getting an extra $30 mag with the Gen4.

Gen3

Get the Gen 4. Slimmer grip and the grip has a better texture on the Gen 4 compared to the Gen 3. I always found the Gen 3 to get a little slippery when my hand would sweat during shooting in the summer months.

congrats, you're already a step ahead of most. i have a Gen 4, my bro has a gen 3. honestly, i think the gen 3 feels better in the hand, however i like the modularity of the back straps you can add on the Gen 4and it comes with 3 mags instead of 2. the gen 4 has a dual recoil spring that the salesman will try to tell you helps with recoil. it doesn't.

TL;DR : you can't go wrong with either, i have a 1911 too so let the haters hate

ETA: i conceal carry mine errrday so let the haters hate some mo

the answer is completely subjective. you need to hold both the gen 3 and gen 4. if the gen 3 fits your hand fine, there is no need for gen 4. however, the interchangeable backstraps can make a world of difference if the gen 3 grip isn't ideal for you. i do also like the gen 4 texture a lot better.

I used my glock to blow my 1911 to pieces.

Put your hands on a Springfield XDM and you will forget about that Ugly Block. Really the XDMs are far superior to any Glock ergonomically and man does it look better. Also the XDMs have match grade barrels...it is all about the "M". LINK
