6 lip 2024 · We’ll look at when each generation got its start and the unique features the Glock Gen 3, Gen 4, and Gen 5 offers. If you’ve got your heart set on a Glock model but don’t know which generation to go with, then read on.
7 cze 2011 · Notice the duller look of the newer finish for Glock pistols on the Gen 4 pistol. The new grip texture of the Gen 4 (bottom) compared to the Gen 3 (top). You can also see the larger mag release on the Gen 4. The Gen 4 grip with the medium back strap attached has the same grip profile as the Gen 3 standard grip.
30 sie 2016 · The Glock 17 Gen 4 incorporates a dual recoil-spring assembly which is intended to increase spring life and reduce recoil – the result is a firearm that is even more manageable to fire than the original Glock 17 (which had already made shooting a breeze).
1 kwi 2021 · My first glock was a Gen 4 17, I liked it and shot just fine with it. I traded it slightly used for a new Gen 3 and have liked the 3 a bit more. The bigger grip fits me better and I never felt myself needing the aggressive grip texture.
Left-handed shooters will whole-heartedly welcome the Gen 5's ambidextrous slide release, but outside of that buying group, the Gen 4s remain a popular choice over the newer Gen 5s due to their lower price, virtually identical performance, and more robust aftermarket support (although Gen 5 aftermarket support will build over the next few years).
If I wanted an accurate out-of-the-box pistol with night sights and a SAO trigger, I'd get the SIG and if I wanted a hyper-low-maintenance, hyper-robust defensive pistol that points well at close range, I'd get the Glock G17 Gen4 (it also holds the most rounds in a standard magazine).
The Gen 4 and Gen 5 mag releases are just a lot better than the Glock Gen 3. And there are tons of aftermarket options if you want to change that up. Glock 17 Slide Stop Review
