Posted: 1/16/2015 10:01:35 PM EDT

Glock 19 generation 2, used, 1 mag

OR

Glock 19 generation 4, new blue label, 3 mags

if the cost is about the same, which is the smart choice?

Gen 4

This can't be a real question.

Gen 3 NiB finish. My favorite.

But of your two I'd go gen 4.
I have a gen 2 23 and like it fine but I like the rail option

I would like to add a Gen 2 in my collection and feel no desire for Gen 4... yet.

Hard to argue with that. I have all Gen 4, but I'm new to Glocks too. Liked the positive grip of the Gen 4.

if you get blue label pricing, you would be a fool to buy anything else, but most of us don't get blue label pricing

My preference is Gen 3

Between those choices, I'd go gen 4. But between gen 3 and 4, I'll go 3.

Gen2. No LCI and no MIM.

Personally, I'd get the Gen 2. I was one of the ones who got a garbage-ass, brass-to-the-face, FTEing newer Glock, though.

I'd really like an OD gen 4, but haven't seen them for sale in a while.

I have a gen 2, but honestly how old would the gun be? Mine was made in 1991 I think, and had a low round count until I got it 2008. Some of those gen 2's could really be worn out.

Gen 4, and then remove the finger grooves if you don't like them.

Yep. I love my 19 Gen 4. But would love to pick up a Gen 2 if I could find a good one.

I own both Gen 3, and 4 and think 2 is the pentacle.

Would have to be a killer deal to flip the other way.

Blue Labels will always be around for $399 or at least longer than the Gen 2's will which are getting ridiculously harder to find.

Gen 2

The rail on the Glock 19 way overblown as any advantage.

Is does not have the depth that the 17 does, so lights are out there ahead of muzzle getting pounded. Might has well have a rail on your 26 while you are at it...

Gen4.

Major improvements like thinner grip and larger mag release. If you dont like the new bump on the trigger bar just file it down.

Get one of each.

Sell your least favorite to Brother -in -law.

This.

Absolutely this.

Glock lost their damn minds with the Gen 4.

Inferior finish to the 2 and 3. Inferior internals. Goofy assed finger grooves, and gimmicks.
It's like Glock wanted to fuck up their own reputation.

Nice.
Never seen one in the wild, but nice.

The old Tenifer under anything, is still a better option.
I work around some seriously evil gorp, and it gets everywhere. The shit eats stainless like nothing.
The old Tenifer will stain(Attractive actually)and that's it.
