My $0.02, if I may....
Comments in the article about the sights are, well, a matter of personal preference. Most shooters who are into it for sport, competition, or simply agressive personal shooters, will replace the sights anyway...this is true as true for Glocks as it is for 1911s, Berettas, and whatnot. Having a stock sight that does the job as well as being a "throwaway" part when you upgrade it, is in my mind, a bonus. I am one of those people that will often wait for something to break before replacing it with something better.
I'd have to agree in that the RSA issue was indeed an issue, since then (to my knowledge) resolved already.
Now, bear in mind that one of the biggest points of contention of the anti-Glocks is the grip, and it is true that the standard Glock grip's geometry is different from most other pistols (the 1911 comes to mind), and that the first consideration in buying a handgun should be how comfortable it feels in your hand (since this goes to your ability to shoot it accurately). Not all hands being alike, there are those to whom the Glock will never fit right in their hands....enter the Gen4.
I wish I had an excuse to buy a Gen4 G26 or G30 to replace my EDCs, since I really REALLY like the feel of the grip with the narrowest insert, and the feel of the grip panels, but that is for now simply a distant dream.
I have and love my Gen3's, and even use my G26 in IDPA, but like any gun-lover, I wouldn't mind having a Gen4 to play with!
