Are Generation 3 Glocks still being produced?

[bripro]

When I finally get around to getting a G17 I have decided it will be a Gen 3. I plan to buy it used and know I will have no problem finding plenty to choose from. I was wondering though, is the Gen 3 now out of production? The best part about the Gen 4 imo is that alot of people are trading their third generations in for them giving me more to choose from.

I personally would not be buying any gen 4 untill about 4-5 yrs from now, the gen 3 17 is one of the worlds most tried and true design thats proven to work over and over again, i dont envy the idiots that is running out and trading in a perfectly good and proven gun for a design that has yet to be proven. I'm not in the Gun of the month Club.

You are wise to wait.

He said he IS getting the gen 3, and yes they are still making them as far as I know.

I am fairly sure that the gen 4's are just a special run, and not intended to replace the gen 3's. They'll be sold next to eachother.

Special run?? Where did you hear that,,,far from true.
Gen3's aren't going any where....as of now.


I have no problem purchasing a Gen4

It will take a while before all the Glock models are available in Gen 4 form. I just saw pics of the new Gen 4 G26, not much has changed from Gen 3 -4 on that model.

Gen 3 is still available, but I don't see a problem with buying a next-generation Glock. Reliability for me is guaranteed with the Glock brand.
