re: Opinions of some firearms that I may purchase

I also prefer the Gen4 over the Gen3 glocks

I'm the other way - the texture on the grip on the Gen 4 is too aggressive, the dual springs is an extra thing to break, the enlarged fire controls (may be a boon to some) seems "anti" Glock - the big feature of Glocks used to be the slimmer, snag free profile.

I can take or leave the interchangeable backstraps.

I'm the same way, and for the reasons above, prefer Gen 3.

I will say the if the aggressive grip texture didn't bother me, then I would probably go Gen 4.
