[QUOTE="Cavedweller, post: 2734442, member: 968"] Below is what Larry had to say about the Gen 3 vs the Gen 4. My trigger finger isn't sensitive enough to notice a difference in trigger weight or feel. Both Gens require grip work done on them before they fit my hand, I hate the finger grooves. I love the mag release on the Gen 4 though. So all that said, I currently carry the Gen 3 19. "Larry Vickers Offline Subject Matter Expert Quote: I got a Gen 4 17 for my show - here's my take; 1) I like the smaller grip as I have small hands - although not as small as that jabronie in the pic 2)I wish the rough texture was more agressive - it is better than a stock gen 3 but not as much as it could be 3) The mag release is better but rude sharp - somebody at Glock feels that only guns with sharp edges will please the Fuhrer and it shows - I radiused mine immediately 4) The interchangable backstrap system is lame and is dramatically inferior to the S&W M&P or Hk P30/P2000/HK45 series - poor effort 5) The big question is will the recoil spring setup help the 40 and hurt the 9mm in terms of functional reliability- verdict is still out on that but my gut feeling is depending on ammo used the answer will be yes 6) The trigger on mine is dramatically heavier than a gen 3 G17 - noticed it right away Overall i give the gun a C minus - If i had to choose I would pick a gen 3 with some tweaks anyday over the gen 4 my .02 cents cheers LAV" [/QUOTE]
