Hi all
So what is the differance in the differant Gens of Glock pistols? I have an older Mod 19. Am I missing somting by not having the latest and gratest? Or is it only a differance of the finger groves and light rails sort of thing?
Your 19 is a GEN2. The only difference between it and a GEN3 are: accessory rail/finger grooves/thumb rests. Your GEN2 is a superb weapon and is sought after by many.

Agreed if I were looking for a Glock 19 I would get the Gen 2. I find that if the finger grooves do not match up to your hand perfectly then the 19 or any Glock feels off in your hands.
You can determine the generation of a Glock from it's exterior.
Gen 1 = non-RTF with no rail
Gen 2 = RTF with no rail
Gen 2.5 = RTF with finger grooves & no rail
Gen 3 = RTF with finger grooves & rail or RTF2 with finger grooves & rail
Gen 4 = RTF3 with finger grooves, replaceable backstraps & rail
Gen 3 Glocks had minor internal adjustments from the previous generations.
Gen 4 Glocks have additional internal adjustements, use a reversable magazine release system and a dual-recoil system.
I bought a gen 2 19 for my escorting and I love it. I put hogue grips on it because I like the groove feel, but I don't use lights or other toys so I don't need the rail. I paid $350 for it on gun broker for like new condition.
Yes they are, i know i prolly ruined it by doing it but i think it adds a little show to it. I have a nickel mag release ordered and titanium pins so ill have some more variety to it. it gives it a different look. Do you think it looks bad?
No I am digging the look. I was just wondering if that was something you did or if that was the way they were being made. I have not seen a Gen4 up close yet.
