OK, hikock45 loves his glocks. He seems to like the Gen 4 better because:
1) The Gen 3 models have a slick "teflon" finish where the Gen 4 slide coatings are closer to what the Gen 2 had. Gen 4 is easier to grab and not as shiny.
2) Gen 4's mag release is a bit bigger.
3) The dual recoil spring makes a noticable but not huge improvement in recoil kickup.
The video is linked to below. Anyway, I know most people will say Gen 3 because of time tested reliability but I suspect Glock will do whatever it takes to make Gen 4 reach that reliability level (like updating the spring). So that *seems* somewhat of a non-issue to me. The basic design is about the same anyway. You guys probably know more than me so what say you?
