Gen 4. Because slide bite sucks and that beavertail is nice. Also, bigger mag release, and a better grip.

Like em both......a fantastic fighting tool. I tend to favor the frame of the Gen 4 due to the slightly slimmer design. I generally put traction tape or Talons on my plastic guns so grip texture is not a game changer for me. I run a Gen 4 with no backstrap and it works well with my medium bony hands lol.

Gen 4

Everyone keeps talking about the bigger mag release... why no love for the extended gen3 release (originally found on the 34/35)??

I disliked the gen4 mag release. It had more surface area, but was harder for me to engage... am I the only one? I don't know if it required much more force, but the positioning and larger button was NOT helpful to me
I even switched it to lefty (I am a lefty) and still disliked it

I agree. The gen 4 mag release is bigger, but it is not necessarily easier for me to engage, compared to the gen 3 version. I added the Vickers magazine release on my gen 4 19 and I like it quite a bit.

Gen 4 for me. Lefty.

Gen 4 for me. Lefty.

I was better at engaging the mag release on my previous G34 (gen 3, extended factory mag release) with my LH middle finger than I was at using my thumb on a lefty gen4. -- the latter just never felt very good.

XD, the Borat of polymer pistols.

Would some kind person rep this guy for me, my laugh of the day and I have to spread my rep around a little more

You are NOT the only one.. I've installed slightly moded extended mag releases in everything. I like it much better than the Gen 4

I voted 'Other'. If going for that size gun, you really want the G23 Gen 3. Why? Because if you are buying a 9mm pistol and it's not a CZ, they you are doing yourself a disservice . Plus, with the G23, you can run it as a 9, .357 Sig or .40. With a G19, you have a choice of 9mm or nothing. I also opt for the Gen 3 because I like the Talon grip tapes and those don't hold as well to the Gen4 grip texture.

 

[hdrenollet]

I prefer the Gen 4. My other G19 was a Gen 2, then carried a G23 Gen 3 for a long time, fell in love with the Gen 4 recently and picked up a new G19 last month that I'm carrying now. It just seems to fit my hands a little better than the Gen 3.

 

[tcecil88]

Gen 4 is more bang for your buck money wise. However, I prefer the Gen 3's feel.

I just realized that Bacon is an option in the poll... how is this not winning?
