Gen 3 vs Gen 5

[Arik]

Well. There's Gen3s, and there's Gen3s.

The early 2-pin Gen3s weren't the same as the early 3-pin Gens, and they aren't the same as the what a Gen3 is now.

The early 3-pins were the best.

The past decade has been a rough one with Glock.

These latest Gen5s are showing promise to be the best guns they've made so far.

Both 17 and 19 I have are 3pin. The 19 I bought used around 2009, ex police gun from somewhere in FL. The 17 was bought a few years ago, also a ex police gun out of Norfolk VA PD. Has that cut out on bottom of the grip to rip mags out

I avoided gen4 cause I didn't see a point to them. Aside from the interchangeable back straps, which I didn't need, 4 did nothing 3 didn't so I just saw it as a waste of money
