Someone made me a very generous offer for my FDE LAV G19, so I need another Block.
I've seen the new G4's coming out in a variety of colors and now you can get a factory beavertail backstrap for it. Should I just get a cheaper G3 or go for the G4 with the factory beavertail backstrap? |

Wow, I didn't know they offered an extended beavertail from the factory. And it doesn't look like smashed asshole... |

which series of 1911 do you prefer? Quoted:

Huh...I guess even Perfection needs design revisions...  which series of 1911 do you prefer? My ineptitude for handguns transcends series, generations, and even makes/models. I celebrate it with them all.

I've had a Gen2 G23, had a Gen4 G19 for about five years, and just searched out and picked up a full FDE Gen3 G19. In theory I like the option of interchangeable backstraps, but the one I like the most is pretty much the same shape as the Gen3. I DO like the Gen4 mag release, but other then that it's the Gen3 all the way.
I used to have a 'Gen2 1/2' Glock 21--finger grooves, etc, but no rail on the dust cover. Do they make a no rail G19? |

I would go Gen 4. I would go with the 17 instead. That little bit of extra barrel and capacity is welcome, unless you are CCW only. Coloradostan and this will be a CCW. In that case, the 19 is perfect. |
Derp.

Quoted: G2 No MIM or finger grooves |

The grip on the gen 4 blows the gen 3 away. It fits in my hand perfect. Beavertail would be nice too because with the way the grip is designed now, you can get a higher grip. You're adding more material, how are you going to get a higher grip? No hammer, I guess I simply don't get the extended beavertail. Extremely fat mitts? |

I'd like to get one the battle green and gray framed 19s as well. I prefer Gen 4s but won't part with my Austrian proof-marked Gen 3. |

You could get baby shit brown like that, or get a real man's color like Olive Drab.  |
