I am considering a Glock 20 in10 mm. Is there any reason to prefer a gen 3 over a gen 4 or vice versa?
I have been satisfied with my gen 3 Glock19 and do not know if any of the subsequent changes are meaningful improvements.
Thanks
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning

Think recoil system was the main change?

There is no Gen5 G20 as of yet.
My recommendation is the Gen3 G21SF. Stay with the single captive recoil spring setup.

I like the bigger mag release button that came out starting with the Gen 4. That is all.

I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Is there a difference in RSA or pins, and are there pros/cons of one over the other ? Thanks

I have a Gen 3 G20SF and like it a lot. The only thing that a Gen4 would do for me is give me the option of putting the magazine release on the right side (I'm a lefty).

You need to hold both. They are all bigger than a G19/17/22/23 frame. The trigger reach is not the same.

The reach sucks for me. I have been researching triggers that can shorten it up. After a few hundred 200gr loads my trigger finger is blistered from mashing the frame.....non issue on all other glocks.

I've had a gen 3sf and a gen4 and I likes the gen 3 sf better. I bought an xdm 10mm when they came out and have since sold the glock. I really like my xdm 10mms and look forward to getting an m&p 10mm too. I love 10mms.

XDM in 10mm? I didn't know. They seem to have shorter trigger reach than Glocks in 9mm. Is that true of the 10mm also? I barely carry my G20SF bc it just doesn't fit my hand all that well. The G17s and G22 fit me like a glove. Edit: Looks like the XDM in full size 10mm is gone. But I will be getting me one of them 10mm M&Ps for sure.

Wow... I see that. News to me, and bad news at that. I suspect they will be replaced with the XDM Elite, but what a stupid move.

But, but, but, I thought Glock advertised "Perfection" from the git-go??????? If they're "perfect", now come they have four or five "generations"??????
