Glock Disappointment?

Glocks are reliable so are the XDs.

I know Glock has come out with Gen 4. I have not tried that out yet but they are supposed to have a better grip. Maybe anyone who has one can enlighten us.
Thanks

The gen 4 grip is what got me back into a Glock. Never cared for the grip before and sold mine years ago. I purchased a G17 and really like the grip, it is my favorite carry.
Secondly I want a carry gun I can sweat on, toss under the seat, scratch up, generally beat up and not see rust on it while still being reliable and not have to clean it every time I hit the house. If I did this with a Kimber I might cry every time I looked at it.

That is true about Glock. The finish is the best I have seen on any firearm. Even after years of use it still looks very good. Next time I go to a gun shop I will try the Gen 4 and see if it is worth trading G3 for G4. Thanks for the info.

I agree with you 100%.

Don't trade, you'll end up regretting it!

I don't believe that the Gen4 Glocks make the previous obsolete. In fact, I think I remember reading, hearing, or picking up by osmosis somewhere, that the Gen3's are still being produced. I would imagine that there are enough people who like the earlier Gen, that Glock thought it profitable to produce both.

My own personal recommendation is that, if you like your Gen3 Glock, there's absolutely no reason to "trade up" (and I use that phrase somewhat reluctantly). However, if you like the design changes in the Gen4 then, by all means, go for it! Also, contrary to what some might have you believe, there is not law that states you can't have more than one Glock (unless such law is written by one's significant other ...and I'll stay out of that one! ).

Wow. My G26 shoots so good I actually get kind of bored with it.

I doubt I am as good as A5, but I do get bored shooting holes in that red dot at two yards.

It's kind of like those who voted for Obama. Spent all their time bashing Bush, then realized they didn't get anything better.

More likely they discovered what they got is far worse and pride will not let them admit it publicly.

Love my Glocks. XD's are ok, and I really don't have anything bad to say about the times I have shot them, but there is just something I keep coming back to that Glock offers. Just feels and shoots right.
