Thread as reference.
In frequenting a local shop and looking over their Gen 5s (LE/MIL prices), I considered finally getting another Glock (have a Gen 4 G19). While I normally like a thinner grip, I was drawn to a hugely used Gen 3 G17 - it just looks OLD, but for some strange reason the grip seems right to me (even though the newer ones seem to feel better in terms of circumference).. I also seem to prefer a GFA to stop the bite but also correct the angle. So...maybe I don't NEED a Gen 5.
This smooth from use G17 also has a REALLY decent trigger to me - I can press it with minimal movement - unlike a BRAND NEW G34 which shakes like mad with over travel when the sear breaks. And I can get a Gen 5 for the same price. It just seems stupid to think about the worn Gen 3.... but the trigger is right.
Thoughts?
