I'm new to Glock, but. I do know they are making Gen3's new. The Gen 4 is a option. But for now, yes, they are making new Gen3's

As for the Gen4 problems. I don't know why. But I read enough about them to go with a Gen3. I went with what was proven and I personally did not see the advantage of a 4.

They're not really... you're just hearing the few "squeaky wheels" out there.

most of the problems have been due to the recoil assembly in the 9mms.  They are sending new springs out to people who have issues and it seems to be working.



YMMV

i got a gen 4 g22 a couple of months ago and love it!!!!  i will agree on the reports of the new "dimple connector" thing making the trigger a little "harder". its no biggie though. i dont know anybody else that is having problems either on a personal level. just handle them both and see what you like. i dont make use of the back straps really so much as the new texturing and the huge mag release. you cant lose either way really.

yes, Gen3s are still in production.
