Which Gen Glock and Why

[Kruel J]

I feel like the 17 grooves fit my hand perfectly.

I feel like the 17 grip in general fits my hand perfectly. Big fan for sure.

17 grooves?? How many fingers do you have?

I'm thinking that avatar is an actual image of yourself now.

Oh yeah? Well I like the 21 with finger groves.

There were no gen 1 G19's

Technically you are right but don't forget the rare KS ABC Gen 1 Glock 19's. Also, don't forget your checkbook if you want to own one...

Gen 3 for parts simplicity and commonality, and also for magazine interchangeability. Just my $0.02.

Gen 5 hands down

Which Gen Glock 19 do y'all shoot and why. I just researching about the Glock 19 and have found, that the Gen4 is now LE only. And I've also that the Gen3 is probably one of thy most popular 19's. So is you could pick one generation of the Glock 19 which would it be and why. Also any thoughts on the Glock 19M I just saw one the other day for the first time ever. Just been trying to educate myself on the 19 have thought about picking one up. Thank you.

Thats really odd.

But I looked around there are still some certified used gen 4s around that can be purchased by noj LE.

I looked on Glock's website and it's only the 9mm and 40 cal Gen 4's that are LE only. The 10mm, 45, and 357 Sig Gen 4's don't appear with the "LE Only" banner.
Curiouser and curiouser...

Gen 4 - I have not owned a Gen 5 yet so I'll with hold opinion on that. I have owned all the other generations of Glocks though, and the gen 4 actually improves on the previous king - the gen 3, when it comes to ergonomics. Better grip texture, the redesigned mag release makes it a far more functional firearm out of the box for me. Gen 2 & 3 guns I would put a factory extended mag release in, then dehorn it and sand it smooth. Don't have to do anything on the gen 4 release.

The slide finish on the first 3 gens was better, but I had no corrosion issues with my gen 4 guns either.

So is the saying that once you've shot one Glock you've shot all Glocks. Due to the stock triggers all being pretty much the same.

I reckon that makes sense.

Generation 3.

We have owned and liked Glock 19s very much but we no longer own or shoot any 9mm pistols.

My first firearm, a Glock, in the late 90's was a Generation 3 too.

My husband's Glock 45acp pistol is a Generation 3 too.

All of them were bought NIB and shot well from the gitgo. NO issues whatsoever.

I'm more partial to the Gen. 3 Glocks as that's what I started and trained on. G26 has been my go to gun for quite some time as well as my G19. Just need a G34 to complete my Gen. 3 9mm collection. The G17 Gen. 3 was my first pistol. My G17L is my "special" piece in my collection of Glocks.

As a lefty, gen 3 isn't great and it's all due to the mag catch, especially on my 22C with an extendomatic one. I prefer gen 4, though I'm leaning gen 5 due to the Ambi slide catch. If gen 6 gets a true Ambi mag catch and ditches the flared mag well while reincorporating the finger grooves I'd want for nothing
