Gen3 pistols have a slightly retextured frame, a thumb rest groove, and finger grooves on the front strap.

Internally are they the same ?
For the most part yes, a trigger bar/ ejector Assy. From my third gen 34 will slide right into my second gen 19. The difference is an extra pin for the 3rd gen slide stop/block, finger grooves, thumb divit, rail for a laser/ light:banghead:And a more aggressive texture. I will say I love my 3rd gen flocks but I carry my 2nd gen g19 more than any other gun I own.

My recent purchase of a gen2 19 is what made me understand why people so love Glocks. Damned good pistol and I love shooting it - even the 127 gr +P+ I carry. No misfeeds or malfunctions yet. Still only in the hundreds of rounds by me, I'll admit, but I have no reservations about it at all. I have tried to limp wrist it and still have it feed fine. I can make a 1911 stovepipe on command.
As a revolver shooter I put a NY1 spring and a 3.5 connector on it. That gives a smooth & consistant 5.5~6 lb pull that is very similar to a DAO revolver. Best of both worlds.

Internally pretty much the same. Most the the changes are the external things mentioned.
Like some other posters - I personally prefer the Gen2 grip more as I absolutely loathe finger-grooves on a gun. To me its like the manufacturer trying to tell me in a one-size fits all approach exactly where my fingers should be rather than letting me decide for myself. My only Glock is a Gen2 Glock 17.

Not always the case, as my Gen 2 G22 has three pins.

I hear you. While I don't mind the grooves on my Gen 3 G17 - they fit my hand well - the ones on G19 don't, which is why I chose the former. I wish Glock didn't mold these grooves at all. Or did they make it to help with ATF points ?
There is no Gen 1 G19
The G19 was introduced contemporaneously with the Gen 2 G17

gen1 and gen2 g17... ?
The easiest to spot difference is that the Gen 1 lacked the grenade texture on the front and backstraps.
The Gen 1 also wasn't originally designed to use the slide stop to release the slide when it was locked to the rear...so the slide wasn't hardened in that area. It was designed to release the slide by pulling back on it...either overhand or by slingshotting it

One major difference between the Gen 2's and the Gen 3's and 4's is you don't have to listen to people belly aching that their Gen 2's aren't cycling properly. I prefer the Gen 2's to any of the other varieties.
