Glock 19

I know there is little differance in the Gen 3 & 4. Is one really better than the other?

Gen 4's different texture on grip, 4 options for backstraps, comes with 3 mags..

Grip is smaller without the inserts for those with smaller hands; newer models come with the beaver tail inserts; large, reversible mag release; dual-spring recoil system (some say it shoots a bit "softer"); comes with 3 mags instead of 2.

As far as shooting, there's really not that much difference.

I have both, and one feature not mentioned already is the 4 can reverse the mag release for lefties.

Still if the two I prefer my gen 3. The 4 feels slimmer with no back strap on it but thick with the other ones. But the trigger on my 3 is noticably smoother.

The extra mag alone is worth the $. Plus, yeah, being able to change backstraps on the gen 4 is nice. I personally prefer the slim option with no backstrap.

I have a gen 4 but both are top notch pistols. You can probably find really good deals on a gen3 even factoring in the fact it has 1 less mag.
