In California, as of this date, no Gen 4 or Gen 5 Glocks, nor any Glocks made in the USA, have been approved to be on the "Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale". So, the Gen 3 is all you see for sale new in California. I guess that would also be a reason the Gen 3 is more popular.

^^^ A very good reason!

If I were looking for an addition firearm....especially another Glock I would go with a Gen 5. As stated in other posts I also feel they are far better than the Gen 3. My brother in law has a gen 5 G17 and it being stock, is far superior to my Gen 3 with several after market parts installed.

That may be the problem.

What I mean is my Gen 3 had to have aftermarket parts to compare with his stock Gen 5.
