What Gen is my Glock 17?

Picked this Glock 17 up on a trade. Don't really know much about Glocks. Can anyone tell me what Generation this Glock 17 is?

Gen 3 - evidenced by the pattern on the grip and inclusion of finger grooves and accessory rail under the barrel

Awesome thanks for the quick reply!

You also have a GripForce adapter on the frame there to give you an extended beaver tail. This will prevent slide bite if you grip the gun too high off of the draw...ask me how I know this! lol

Gen 3 with an aftermarket "grip force" adapter
You might have thought that part looked like something for a Gen 4 which is understandable.
