I heard a lot of the Generation 4s were having failure to feed issues, but I reeeally want one of those recoil springs in my Gen 3.

I have a Gen3 Model 23. All of our work weapons are Gen4 22s.

The Gen 4's have been reportedly having some issues, but they do work.

I wouldn't mind getting on the G19 Gen 4 wagon as well.

Oh and PICS or shens.!

the thing i like most about the g4 is the mag release. in older glocks i had a heck of a time with dropping the mags.

i was able to get leo/mil pricing but they didnt have any of the leo 19s in stock...

I like the feel of G17's, but just like many said before, safties are a necessity.

IMO, the only way I would want to carry a Glock is if it were in a serpa or if there was not one in the pipe. So, if I randomly decide to become an LEO I wouldn't mind carrying one on duty.

You rike safeties? The glock has 3 safeties

If you ever think of carrying without one in the chamber look at some of the statistics on shootings, especially police involved shootings which most happen at a distance of 7 yds or less and last on average 3 seconds. Not carrying the weapon like it was meant to is the wrong mindset, train train train.

I live in New Jersey, I will never carry.

I think it was USAF that mentioned that his dads coworker had shot himself accidentally with his Glock. The cord from the windbreaker he was wearing wrapped around his trigger "safety" and discharged some 9mm into his leg.

Hence why I said that if I were an LEO open carrying on duty, I would like a serpa holster. That Glock wont fire unless I fire it, or gremlins decide to hammer on my primer.

Plus, I am a 1911 enthusiast, and they have four safeties.

Serpa's are more dangerous than most other holsters out there.

Something that requires you to apply pressure to the trigger area of the holster as you draw the weapon = fail IMHO. Look up Tex Grebner on you tube :)

That isn't the only self inflicted gunshot they have produced, just the funniest.

You might need to pay a little more attention to a Glock when you are reholstering it but not that much.

PS I see what you did there :)
