Yeah, the Gen 3's have a rough texture on the grips. I have a G26G4 and I put Talon grips on mine cause I prefer the rough texture of the Gen 3's over the Gen 4's, but the ergonomics of the grip of the Gen 4 fits my hand better than the Gen 3, which is one of the other changes of the Gen 4 over the Gen 3. I think they also improved the recoil spring in the Gen 4's.

The Gen 4's distance from the back of the grip to the trigger is about 2 mm less than the Gen 3's.
I recently replaced my Gen 3 with a 4 mainly because of this reason. It fits my hand better when I don't use a back strap.
As Twag4 said, the recoil springs were the same.

The grip texture is way better and u get interchangeable backstraps, the mag release has a wider button, and its ambidextrous. If you're left handed, or want a smaller grip, gen 4 is great

Same type of spring (being the dual spring) but the Gen 4 one is a bit different

Definitely. I bought one factory new in the box in January of this year. Test fire envelope in the box said it was fired in the factory 5-26-11. I also read an article some where that said glock has no plans of halting production of gen 3 weapons.mikecu said:

On the 26 and 27 there is no difference between gen 3 and 4. I have both. Even glock says so. I had a problem with gen4 26 spring and their tech department gave me the info. They are now making them with little cutouts on the larger outer rod, but the spring rates are the same. They are using this same rod in their new production 3 26 and 27 as well. Simply a redesign that has nothing to do with generation. The gen 4 26 was made in Feb 2012 and came with a spring identical to the spring in my 1999 gen3 27(that I replaced with a spring I bought in march 2009)

I'm confused by this? A friend in LA just bought a brand new Gen 4 27 and he is not LEO in any way.
