Gen3 or gen4 19?

Love my Gen 3 19..wouldnt change/give it up!..if that helps??

 

I don't think that you could really go wrong. I have the Gen 4 and love it but I appreciate the Gen 3s too. The new gip on the Gen 4s fits me better than Gen 3 grips though. If you can try out both you should and make your decision based on the feel in your hand probably.

 

Not too much of a difference between the two Gens...

The Gen 4 has...

* dual recoil spring
* interchangeable back straps
* RTF3 texture (rough texture frame)
* magazine release that can be switched to use left or right handed

 

I picked up the Gen4 G22 primarily because it use the only pistol which fit my huge hands easily. But having the dual recoil spring lets my wife shot it and she has thin weak wrists.

 

If the Gen 4 feels better to you then get it. Don't get a Gen 3 because you think it's more reliable.

 

Both are good. I selected the gen 3 only because of the grip. I personally liked the grip and the texture of the grip on the 3 compared to the gen 4.

 

I prefer the Gen4 Glocks and have a Gen4 19, Gen4 26, and Gen4 17 at the house.

 

Love to see them! Really, mine are both gen4 and you will not be dissapointed!

 

I have 2 gen 4 g19s and I love them. However, I'm probably the only person on the planet that doesn't like the RTF. Because of that I have to wear an undershirt when I carry in my crossbreed holster. But it's a Glock so no matter what reliability is not an issue!

 

Agreed. If you're CCing then the gen4 against the skin can be irritating. Although a Pachmayr grip could fix that if you are a fan of them (I like them) so, you can fix it.

 

And the crowd chants Gen 3 Gen 3 haha that's just what I have and love it

 

If i had a choice it would be gen 4. I had a gen 3 RTF and that was even worse to cc

 

I carry my Gen3 19. Don't have complaints. What made it so bad? Love my Gen3

 

+1..love my gen3 19

 

I don't think there is anything"bad" about the gen 3! I love it but there is a noticeable difference in recoil between the 3 and 4. I would rather shoot the 4 but cc the gen 3... I HATE the RTF

 

I will say that the difference is only noticeable if you shoot hundreds of rounds through one an switch to the other OR you shoot one then immediately switch to the other... If you haven't or don't you probably won't notice the difference.

 

Gen3 all the way. If it isn't broke, why fix it. Several people i know have complained that the gen 4 jams on them. I have a 17 gen3 that i bought in '07. and up until now, i haven't had a single jam in it yet. I've shot ball ammo, hollow points and rat shot through it, rapid fire.

 

I have heard several people complain about the gen4 jamming on them as well but I have over 3000 rounds through my 19 and never had a ftf. Ok once with a bad reload but other than that it eats any junk ammo I decide to try. My wife on the other hand jams about every other shot because she doesn't get the concept of locking her wrist...
