well i picked up the gen4 g23 and fired 55 rounds of speer lawman 165gr 40cal through it. this ammo is by far the hardest kicking 165gr i've fired.
no probs whatsoever. two thumbs up
the trigger pull was of course gritty and heavy, so i dropped in a gen 3 trigger bar before the range. the stock trigger bar had that retarded bump that rubs the slide.
i called glock, and the tech said there would be no probs with the gen3 trigger bar, but "glock recommends gen4 parts for the gen4 guns". nice scripted response lol.
it shot tight groups, as accurate as my gen3 g19. i also noticed that i can put the gen3 g19 gills slide assembly on the gen4 frame and it seams to work perfectly. of course you cannot put the gen 4 slide assembly on the gen 3 frame due to the wider diameter recoil assembly. i did not fire it like this, just tried it at home after the range.
the slide cycles much smoother than any gen3 i've owned, and the short grip felt great in my small hands.
the gen4 grip texture is an improvement over the smooth gen3. i never had to adjust my grip to get it back in the zone as with my gen3's.
the slide finish is matte grey and grippier than the glossy black of the gen3's, but not as durable. rubs/scratches off easier.
first shots fired. 15 yards:
