It seems like with a gen4,you are paying more for the same gun.I will be buying a model22 within a week.just wanted to know if the 4 was worth the extra cash

Welcome to the Glock Forum kulok77 !!

Personal preference in my opinion...

 

[Mike P]

Most that have Gen4's IMO are buying them for the newer smaller grips{that why I've bought several of them now}. Also they come with three magazines instead of two. So if you consider the extra mag, the cost kind of off sets itself.

My gen 3 came wit 3 mags also. Few minor issues with gen 4 but the choice is urs. I swapped mine for gen 3.... It's FLAWLESS.

In most instances the Gen3's only come with two.

 

[G22GEN4]

Yeah mine was a shooters pack I guess an extra mag & a range bag makes it a shooters pack idk. But for $499 & free shippin ill take it lol

If your getting blue label they are same price. Both come with 3 mags. The red label comes with 2 mags for gen 3 and 3 for gen 4. The only price different should be for the extra mag. So maybe 20-25 more. Hold both and if you can shoot both. The slimmer grip might make a world of difference for you.

Being in California I dont even get a choice but I love my gen 3 g17

What do u mean by blue & red label

 

[mauro3005]

Blue label are the flicks they sell to law enforcement at a discounted price. Or if you get a 2 yr membership to GSSF you can buy at the discounted price

 

[mauro3005]

Glocks not flicks*

Stupid autocorrect! Lol

I got my Gen4 $60 cheaper then the Gen3. So far me it was worth it.

 

[GunnerGSP]

I chose the gen 3 (model 23).

The extra mag with the gen 4 was not a big deal and the grip on the gen3 was fine. I used the money I saved to buy projectiles.

If you shoot a lot and like a smaller or larger grip, the gen 4 with the extra mag and backstraps may be worth it.

 

[msandoval858]

I like the smaller grip of the Gen 4, feels more natural in my hand. I really grew to like the texture as well once I fired them a few times. The extra mag is an added value as well.

Based on that, any Glock I buy will likely be a Gen 4.

 

[Glock19]

Another (assumed) benefit of the Gen4's are the double recoil spring. I am debating now on the Gen4 21 for myself now. Let us know what you end up buying with a review etc. Thanks.

 

[teksid]

Let me put it this way,I wish my three Gen 3's were Gen 4's too.I really like the grip better.

 

[kulok77]

Well I fought between gen4 g21, gen 3,g 21,,and hens 3& 4 g22 and went with g22 gen 3 .it felt better in my hands.price was not a deal breaker. Oh and just didn't like the grip texture of the 4s.review through my eyes to come.
