So I bought myself a Gen 4 Glock 19. Then about a month later a Gen 4 Glock 17 came along. And during the first week of September my Gen 4 Glock 26 will be arriving.

I tried to stay away but they are so good. I am already scheming on how to get myself a Glock 34.

Depends. Do the G19's finger grooves fit you? If not, you want a Gen 2, since those don't have finger grooves. The Gen 2s don't have a light rail, though. If the finger grooves do fit you, then your choice is between a Gen 3 and Gen 4. Some folks prefer the older Gen 3. However, I think the Gen 4 has some important advantages:

1) Gen 4s have a larger magazine release, which I find is easier to manipulate than the smaller release on the Gen 1/2/3. It's also reversible, if you happen to be left-handed.
2) Gen 4s have more aggressive grip texturing. I find the texture on the earlier Gens to be too slippery, and it requires the addition of something like skateboard tape to add texture. But the Gen 4's grip texture is just right.
3) Gen 4s have interchangeable and removable backstraps, which allow you to modify the thickness of the grip to suit your hand. And the Gen 4 without any backstraps installed is slightly thinner than the grip on the Gen 3 Glocks, which is good if you have small hands.
4) Gen 4s have a redesigned dual recoil spring, which results in slightly less felt recoil.

So I'd recommend either a Gen 2 (if the finger grooves don't suit you) or a Gen 4 (if they do).

It would be the opposite, finger grooves with no light rail and on the baby Glocks the finger grooves had no checkering.

There's no similar "Gen 2.5" compact or full-sized Glock with textureless grooves and no light rail.

I dropped it off the day after I picked it up... and I bought it the day the guns were released... I want to say it was like.. July 10th? Something like that... it was about 3 weeks.

I'm local though, so I dropped it off right in the office. no shipping times for me. They called me late yesterday afternoon to let me know it was ready.

Got my slide back from Robar. I believe I probably have the first Gray Glock with NP3 slide in the country. Neat. It turned out pretty sick.
