what is y'alls opinion (both good and bad) on a Generation 3 Glock 32?

I have a Gen 3 Glock 32 RTF and love it. Great gun.

I was hoping to find a Gen 5 23 and add a 357 sig barrel but I finally gave up when I found a new G32...

I don't have any problems with my 30-year old Gen 1 G22

Those CPII Glocks look great.

I feel like the gen5 .40s will be a dangerous thing for me to hold, or at least dangerous for my budget.

That's how I feel about the Gen5 G22. It really DOES feel great in my hands. Tough as they've been to get we've so far only had one each of the G22 and G23 come into and out of our inventory. With their wider slides the guns are definitely more top heavy than earlier generations, and it's already been discussed on how they'll typically require new holsters because of their thicker slides. But boy, did that G22 feel just right in my Glock-infused hands. I've not been that crazy about the ergonomics of the Gen5 G19 so it wasn't much of a surprise that I felt the same about the new G23; I just don't like how pronounced the backstrap hump feels on the Gen5 compacts. But the full-size Gen5 frames are as close to my ideal in form and fit as any Glock ever made has been. I don't have a need for another G22 but if Glock were to make and offer a .40S&W version of the G45, now THAT would get me off the fence.

Wow, and I thought Gen 1 19s were rare.
Is that a prototype pistol?

It was my understanding Gen1 frames were discontinued 1988.
Glock G20, G21, G22, G23 introduced two years later in 1990.

I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

I looked at a few today. A Gen 5 G17 two tone and a wickid enticing G41. That long slide has me smittin if my H&K dont happen. I like there is no slide port and adjustable rear sight. I pull that horse pistol outta my britches and they'll say.." Look how big it is." . The G41 is a pretty nice full size. Keeping all options front and center. Even a small stash of Sig 10mm ammo I found.

I hadn't realized that Gen 1 frames stopped being made in '88.
I guess I have a Gen 2, then. Its still 30 years old.

We don't have to guess if you can take a pic and post it. Pics are encouraged in this thread. Particularly if they are 30 yrs. old.

My beater Gen 2 17 was made in 5/1990.
It has a 5 digit serial alpha/number.




My Gen 2 21 was mage in 8/1991, almost 30...
It also has a 5 digit serial alpha/number



After CCRs Ceraplate.

Well I finally got to my gun club's pistol range and it was not crowded and was able to 'prove' the Glock 32c I purchased from Vanquish here... I get the feeling he gave me a real deal...

If y'all will recall, I bought this to go with the TNW 'pistol' I purchased. The Glock is now my work vehicle handgun... secured away but in easy reach. That puppy is about as accurate as they get at least from what I can tell with my limited abilities.... but I will say the recoil as well as upward muzzle blast is not for the faint at heart.


I also need to thank the fellow forum member that sent me the absolutely brand new Glock Pistol case.. SW4566 I think.

I bought a G19 . A couple of years later I bought a G43 for concealed carry . After my son graduated the academy I gave him the the G43 . I replaced it with a P365 . Honestly , I liked the G43 better .

Well bought a new glock 43X mos yesterday. I was able to find 3 shield arms 15 round mags. Now just got to pick out a micro rmr. I must admit its much easier to carry than the 19.

I have to make a confession here...

One of the reason I have not liked Glocks and said so too often on this forum as well as others it I thought they were ugly.....

You know they don't look that bad once you own one....

I just took advantage of Glock's blue label program and ordered a gen 5 G19 and got a G48 for my son. It looks like it'll be a long wait before I find some shield arms magazines for it though.

I've ordered Shield mags twice.
Bought 2, then bought 1 more with the mag catch.
First order back in October took a month, the second order last month only took 3 weeks..
I thought it would be longer..
Had to pay for them when ordering, but I was fine with that..

So I take it Glock does not offer the 48 in that nickel type finish for the slide anymore? People hated the two tone look so much that they’re not longer producing it?

I liked how it looked and was thinking about looking around for one, but it looks like that ship sailed.

I mentioned on page 516 CCR's CPII is a great alternative if you really want that 2-tone look..
Around $140 for just the slide..

Thanks, I'm familiar with CCR and their CPII.
