Gen2, obviously

That's really helpful.

There's no way i can get my hands on Gen2

If tiny aesthetics like visible guide rod upset you, enjoy seeing it on probably every semi automatic. Stop crying and get a wheel gun if it puts that much sand in your clam

You can buy used gen2 Glock 22s on gunbroker for under $350 easily. Pop in a 9mm conversion barrel and now you have a gun that can shoot 9mm and .40 cal

Look at Gen4 and compare it to Gen3.

I have no problems with visible guide rod, in Gen4 it's just a gaping hole just like your mum's

>I bought a leo trade in gen 2 because i couldnt afford a new 3 or 4.

actually, I wanted a beater glock for range/competition fucking around and I like the way the gen2 looks. faggot.

If I was gonna buy another glock and not wait for the 17M or whatever they end up calling it I'd get the LAV Glock 17.

It's a gen 3 gun which means probably the largest parts compatability since they're still making Gen 3s and they're still a popular choice, you get the RTF2 frame which is very close to the gen 4 texturing. No stippling or skate tape needed. In the box you also get the vickers tactical/tango down extended magazine release, slide stop, and I think the butt plug.

You ALSO get wilson combat sights which I don't personally like. I'm not sure if they come installed or just in the box. Either way I'd take them off and put some trijicon HDs or HSP thirteen sights on then it's perfect. Sell the WC sights to pay for the trijicons. Pretty good deal honestly idk if the black models are out yet though.

I have a gen4 G19 and gen2 g21 and enjoy the lack of finger grooves compared to the gen4

Just another 2 cents

Picked up a Vickers Glock, and it jams like a mother fucker. Super infuriating. Best guess is the stupid mag plates. Also, time might fix the other issue, but the Vickers sights are not great. huge amounts of gap between front and post and rear wings.


I use an old beater Gen 2 17 for IDPA, and it has been a good gun. Have a set of hi-viz light pipes in it, and no complaints about sight picture.

Go for gen 3 m8, its not without a reason that gen 3 sells better than gen4's

Damn really? I agree the WC vickers sights sucks but really shitty to hear problem just with the function of the gun. Have you tried running factory mags through it? I really wanted one just for the sexy RTF II frame.

the gen4 has a less massive recoil spring in the front of the slide and those things are what breaks in the rare cases something in a Glock breaks.

>>31775273
^This.

Gen II = AK of Glocks.

RTF gen 3... The new recoil spring really only helps with the 40 and 357sig. The magazine release is nice but not worth it on its own. Unless you have tiny bitch hands or giga-yetti hands you are just going to use the medium backstrap anyways. The gen 4 texture beats the pants off the gen 3 which is why you should get the RTF one. Or just a normal gen 3 and the talon grip tape stuff.

>the gen4 has a less massive recoil spring ring in the front

ftfm

Literally no discernable difference. Get whichever is cheaper at hand.

So mud kills gen 2 Glocks?
