[@jaxfernandez3684]

In my opinion Gen 4 is the most underrated generation. Because of generation 4, Glock became more accessible to people with smaller hands, lefties, and frame improvements were made so that a weapon mounted light didn't crack the frame. We wouldn't have gen 5 without gen 4. Also, regarding the trigger difference: Like any generation of glock, the glock gen 4 trigger will be kinda stiff initially. This is normal. 500 rounds and beyond, the trigger smooths out like glass and becomes light and crisp. Just break her in. Gen 4 ftw.

🤘 😁 🤘 I love these blasts from the past! I remember when allot of them came out the first time around. First time I saw Hickle was when I was researching a Taurus Judge for my ccw. He had like a 45 minute video on it, which rocked cause I had lots of questions. I believe that was at least 11 years ago. I'm glad him and John lead (no pun intended) the Gun-Tubing movement! You guys have taught me so much!

[@Joe-hz1nw]

I think, like many things, a small, but noticeable number of them had issues when they were first released. Issues that were quickly remedied.

[@Tom-qp6oh]

The first year they were shipping them with overpowered recoil springs and crummy ejectors....Both were probably meant for .40 cal models.

[@Joe-hz1nw]

@@Tom-qp6oh I remember that now. wasn’t Gen 4 the first year of captive recoil springs on many of the compact and full size models? That could have had an impact as well.

[@Tom-qp6oh]

Yep, and Glock was trying to use the same springs for the 40cal and 9mm. When people using the 9mm complained about jams, Glock claimed that it wasn't a problem because it never jams with duty ammo, only weak target loads. After lots of negative reviews Glock finally issued the new springs for the 19 and 17. New ejectors as well because of brass to the face issues. I like Glock, but they are a very arrogant company when it comes to admitting mistakes.@@Joe-hz1nw

[@maddog8148]

A Beretta APX is in the same category as Glock 17 and 19 depending on size. APX full size or Centurion; they are the same price or even cheaper than Glock and the build quality is far superior and have been proven to run 30k rounds with zero failures. Again, I am not saying Glocks are bad they are a good budget made firearm during that time period but as of 2024 you can find something most likely better. Oh and yes I do have a 43X and I do like it. 👍🏼
