I have always been an ethusiast of all-metal handguns and tended to avoid the polymers, not so much for reasons of functionality but the asthetics. A good STI 1911, a custom Sig P226 or even an accurized Beretta 96 just feels so good in the hand. I had owned several polymers, but never really felt the love!
Then last November, I wanted to get another 10mm and, after all of my research, decided to try a Gen 4 Glock G20. As with all of my pistols, I added a Sprinco recoil system, a Guardian trigger system and an aftermarket land and groove barrel (adding another $400 to the purchase). Wow! The Gen 4 felt so much better in the hand than the Gen 3 G20 I previously owned and I shoot very well with it. So well, in fact, that I decided to give a Gen 4 G23 a chance in January. And then in February a Gen G23 in flat dark earth! Spent about $400 extra on each to upgrade trigger, barrel, recoil system and mag spring. Kind of went crazy. I know.....$400 is way to much to add to a $500 pistol! After practicing I now know how to quickly and completely strip them and add upgrades and parts as needed.
I've got it bad now! I am certainly no fanboy, but very impressed with the function and fit of the Gen 4s. What is it about the Glock Gen 4s that feels so much better to me than the Gen 3s? Anybody want to share your experiences with the Glock Gen 4s?
