I've been seeing a lot of posts about Glocks lately, more noticably the new Gen4 Glocks. Also when perusing gunbroker.com, I see a lot of comments on Glocks about how the "finger grooves are annoying" or this, that, and the other thing. I was just wondering which generation all of you Glockophiles out there prefer?
Personally I like the Gen. 3 Glocks the most. I find the finger grooves to be very comfortable and don't even notice them unless I hold a Gen. 1 or 2. Then I miss them...don't know why, but I do. Secondly I really like the grooves where the thumb of your shooting hand rests on the frame. I also really like the light rail.
The Gen4 just doesn't do it for me. I know that having a handgun (key word being 'hand') fit you is very important, but I feel my 3rd Gen G22 and G21 fit my hands very well, and see no need for the adjustable backstraps. I'm also not a fan of the new guide rods, I don't really have a reason, just don't like 'em.
Anyway, I'm interested to hear your opinions on which Glock generation(s) you prefer and why.
