As for the magazines, gen 3 WILL work in gen 4 AS LONG as you don’t change the weapon to a left handed one.(Mag release)

Just got back from a GSSF shooting competition. Had all my Glocks gone over for a “check up” by a Glock armoror. He replaced a few springs and other small parts that were simply “showing signs of wear” all for free! I shoot a lot. The armoror is also a law enforcement officer and really knew what he was talking about. He told us that Delta Force carries a .45 cal 1911 on their hip (probably as tradition for the US military). They all also carry a Glock 19 in their vests for backup. When they a want a gun to work, they choose a Glock. If it’s good enough for Delta Force, it’s good enough for me. I’m convinced, and I own and shoot many, many guns, that Glock is the best. If you call a Glock a “Model T”, you would be giving a 1911 a compliment by calling it a dinasaur. Best regards. Shoot safely!

Jack,

Thanks for checking in. I too have a bunch of different guns, and they all bring something different to the table. For me, the Glock is a combat workhorse – something that isn’t pretty, but can be relied on to do its job if I do mine.

Thanks for your service.

I’ve read a lot of the comments here, and I agree and disagree with some. I own 5 Glocks and several other name brand handguns. I shoot them all and I like them all Colt, Sig SA they all bring different atributes to the table. For my money the Glock is number one, yes it’s butt ugly but like my american express I never leave home without it at my side. I’m going to go tomorrow and buy a Glock 22 Gen-4 to add to my collection I looked at one last friday and said I got to have one. I depended on the old 1911-A1 for 36 months in Vietnam and I own 5 of them from the ww-2 era and I wouldn’t part with one of them, but the older I get the heavier they get thats why God created the Glock. This is a great site keep up the good work.

I am a Deputy. I purchased the new Gen 4 in February 2010. I absolutely love the new changebale back straps. The customization for the individual makes it a more confortable gun to shoot. Also the new texture has a nice feel to it. Its not nearly as aggressive as the first RTF but has enough stickyness to keep it in your hand. The new spring inside the Gen 4 seems to really help with the kick. My old glock 9 kicks harder than my new Gen 4 .40 cal. Ive put over 2000 rounds in this gun so far and I have used cheap walmart target ammo to high dollar hollow points and it has not jammed one single time. Although I do clean my gun religiously. So far Im very satisfied with this Glock….so much that I trust it with my life.

I wanted to know for myself which 9mm I should buy, it was a toss up between the Glock 17 Gen 4 and the SFA XD9. They were close in price, then the Glock has anything you could ever want for it were the XD9 doesn’t, but waht mattered to me most was shooting it, I went to the range and shot both, the Glock shot a lot straiter and smoother than the XD9. to me that is waht matters the most, how it shoots, XD9 was very nice but the Glock takes it hands down, and I don’t own a Glock, YET !!! Look forward to getting my new Glock anyday….

Another thing glock should add is reliability. That is one thing i have yet to see on any glock i have fired.

To start

several posts back “ned” i own an H&K USP compact in 40 S&W. like Richard said you need to pick up guns and if you can shoot them. as soon as i touched that gun i told the guy at the gun store to start the paper work. the only thing i can say is that everything that says H&K on it is not cheap, by a good 20-30%. as a warning my H&K is amazing but i cant find accessories or anything for it. ive also shot all the guns on your list all have there good and bad points.

to everyone,

have the Gen4 Glocks shipped yet no one in my city has one that i know of. what is available

If the new mags are not interchangable with older guns and vice versa they I will not buy a new Glock. I figured I should standardize on one typle of mag since the ban but if Glock is going to play games with trick mags so they can sell everyone a new set of mags, I suppose I might as well consider some of the designs from other manufactures like the Springfield XD or Smith and Wesson M&P.
