What generation Glock do you guys prefer?

Good Question.

I prefer the feel of the Gen 1, but I have several Genn 3 GLOCKs

For Concealed > Gen 2

For Primary/Fullsize > Gen 3

IMHO, YMMV, etc.

For absolute comfort in a grip, I prefer a Gen 1 G17.  Other than that, I like the feel of the Gen 2's, but the equipment rail on the Gen 3's come in handy.  So, what would be "perfect" would be a Gen 3 with the finger grooves removed and retextured to feel like a Gen 1.  

I guess I'm just picky.

I have G-17s in gen 1,2,& 3.

My favorite is Gen 1 cause it seems to fit my hands the best.

I'd consider that, but since nobody makes a good quality holster to fit an older Glock with an add-on rail, they are useless to me.

I thought about an add-on rail for my Beretta, too, but decided against it for the same reason.

For me a Gen 2 G17 w/rail would be the perfect config.

However, my CCW is a Gen 2 G17, I have a spare G17 that is Gen 3 and my "GO TO HELL" gun is a Gen 3 G34.

Gen 1

The Gen 3s fit me well (long, thin fingers).  I tried a Gen 1 G17 years ago and didn't like the feel. All my Glocks are 3rd Gens.

Only latecommers to the Glock fold have Gen 3 frames w/ light rails and such.

Oldtimers like myself are stuck w/ Gen 1s and 2s......

I can't say I'm a "latecomer" to Glocks.  I've owned them, off and on, since about 1995.  Now, I currently own 10 of them, Gen 1, 2, 2.5 and 3 are represented.

Thanks for making my point, my first Glock a Gen 1 G17 was purchased in 1986 for $279 (first batch that didn't go to LEOs), my last was 1997, a Gen 2 G30.

Well, I'd like to say that I had a Glock on my hip since 1986, but back in my day in MA, you had to be 18 to get your LTC, and I didn't turn 18 until 1990!  Even then, I had to carry one of my father's handguns, since we couldn't buy our own handguns or handgun ammo until we turned 21.  Screwed up law, huh?

Anyway, I wasn't trying to make your point.  Just the opposite.  I personally wouldn't call someone who has owned Glocks, even off and on, for the past 13 years a "latecomer".

Please set me up with two of them if you can find them for that price.  I'd like to have a few more.
