As I cant find a Glock 19 4th gen I have it narrowed to these two choices. Your info and thoughts please ! MDT

Gen 3 has finger grooves, fixed back strap and narrower mag release.

Gen 5 no finger grooves, various back straps and wider mag release. Supposedly a better barrel and revised trigger.

There may be a difference in finishes.

Do they have any rounds through them?

I am having the same debate with getting a Glock 23. Not sure on the G19 gen 5, but the G23 gen 5 has a slightly wider slide dimension and I am worried it won*t fit in my present holsters.

Other than that, it seems to be personal preference. And maybe some $$ difference.

I should add that I regularly carry the Glock 43X ,and just have a desire to replace the G-19 that I had years ago .

Gen 5

If you aren't interested in an optics ready gun I would look at this LWD 19 for cheap. The lower is upgraded but the slide is Gen 3.

Gen 5 hands down. Out of the box trigger pulls are noticeably much improved. One might say Glock Perfection got more perfecter.
