While the Georgia-based company will keep making Gen 3 guns for the California market, the Gen 4 is going away in lieu of newer Gen 5 Glocks in some calibers.
The iconic polymer pistol maker announced that fundamentally the 5th Generation guns will be the standard moving forward on their 9mm and .40S&W offerings.

Now I can sell my Gen 4 as ultra rare

What does this mean? Grips? No grips? Glock is so crazy with their designs I'm super excited to see what they do next!!

But, how can you improve on perfection?

If it's always been perfect why are they on gen5?

I think the biggest difference is the barrel, specifically its rifling.

But, here's a decent article: Glock 19 Gen 4 vs Gen 5 Comparison :: Guns.com

I just acquired a G43X, and I had my G43 (gen 4), on the bench at the same time. I noticed that the slide's slightly different, the front of it's "beveled" on the new gun, and the finish is different.

send it out for stippling and you can sell it as a customized gen 4. probably double your money.

What's the whole "gen 3 for California" thing? Never heard of that.

 

[Bladerunner]

They really messed up the grip on the gen 5 17. Feels like holding a brick. Blocky, square and not comfortable in the hand.

C'mon . You guys need to start using a Sarcasm Smiley or something. LOL

And the only perfection was the Supreme Being in The Fifth Element. I'd even take A-cups and be OK.

Because Gen 4s are not CA-compliant (mag disconnect, etc). The only reason Gen 3s and older are "approved" is because they existed at the time that law was passed (2001) and were grandfathered in

All the Glock production from Gen3 to Gen1 no longer has patent protection

Glock changes the design just a C hair and they get 20 years of patent protection

That is why all the P80 stuff is to Gen3 , they can't copy the Gen4 or Gen5 designs without patent infringement

there's perfection, then there is more perfection. Glock just pushed the speaker volume up to 11.

 

[Deutsche_Dog]

Ironically it was gen 4 that finally made me like any Glock, but not enough to make me pay a premium for another gen 4.

I googled that, (well, technically duckduckgo), and - yeah, no.

I too like my gen 4. Even as a lefty I like it better then the ambi slide release since my grip has my left thumb on the slide release, thusly it doesn't lock back unless I change my grip, which will take some getting used to.

There are better pictures of Milla

I’ll give glock a “multi-pass” for all this perfection

Calis handgun compliance is worse than MAs even.

God, I don't even want to know what's worse than what we got.

I see what you did there.

 

[BostonVI]

Kinda bummed. I love the finger grooves.

 

[TomMontana]

Yup. I like the finger grooves too. Seems to fit me perfectly for my medium sized hands. Dudes with monster hands probably hated it.

 

[DGV1860]

WTS Glock 17 Gen 4. No longer made. $2000.00 firm. oops wrong forum

 

[Bladerunner]

With aftermarket grip tape, they are super comfortable with big hands.

 

[drgrant]

There's nothing to be bummed about, there are likely many thousands of them in the channel and they're not going to go away
quickly. And if you'd ever run a Gen5 you would forget about the finger grooves in about 10 seconds.

Realistically right now this only means that 17/19/26/34 etc won't be offered in Gen4 trim anymore. They still haven't made Gen5s for the other models
yet. Hopefully this means that is coming.

I found her far more attractive early in her career. The older she gets the more man-ish she looks. VERY hot in that movie.

NES, where supermodels are '6's.

yeah. but seriously, I didn't see the flick, I googled on that phrase, and the pic I found didn't flatter her. The other pics posted by @LuvDog are absolutely more attractive.

I get it, kinda like Charlieze Theron in "Monster":
