Glock Gen 3 had curved, deep slide serrations making slide manipulation much easier. Last Gen 3 RTF
models in spring 2011 have gone back to straight slide serrations. Rough Textured Finish - very positive
for a most secure grip, adding control. The multitude of raised dots were reportedly rubbing thru clothing
for many law enforcement issue guns so Gen 3 RTF model has been discontinued. Now: Gen 4 pattern.
"Generation 4" Glock - raised texture grip, extra backstraps, new mag release & recoil spring assembly.

Gen 4 Glocks have a different pattern than the Gen 3 RTF. Both provide better control than original.
Gen 3 RTF had many raised dots, Gen 4 now has many raised squares. Glock 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27 are
popular 9mm/.40 models offered in Gen 4 pattern frames. Factory issued with three magazines, backstrap
options, reversible magazine release & new recoil spring assembly, Gen 4 9mm/.40 are $595 ($649 retail).

Simple and smart in design, Gen 4 medium and large backstraps easily add onto rear of frame if needed.
Another change found on Gen 4 design is the larger mag release compared to Gen 3 and earlier Glocks.

Gen 4's mag release is advertised reversible for left-handers; however, I would not reverse the mag release.
Majority of mags that continue to be in circulation are single-cut for mag catch and reversing mag release
renders all these mags unusable (won't lock in place) unless they are double-cut mag catch type magazines.
Left-handed shooters should continue using proven mag release technique with trigger finger pressing mag
rel button as most handguns around the world will have mag release buttons biased for right-handed users.

Gen 4 model incorporates a new double spring recoil guide rod system (within larger coil is another spring)
Compare with standard recoil spring system shown on right in pictures above. Front of slide and dustcover
reveals different clearance diameter for the front of guide rod system to travel thru when slide is cycling.
Unfortunately, these differences make Gen 1/2/3 incompatible with Gen 4 in emergency swap capabilities.

Update and findings on the popular .40cal-to-9mm conversion barrels for Glock, M&P, XD

Shown above: 9mm-chambered Storm Lake stainless barrel for .40cal Glock 23. Barrel hood: "23 9mm"
Here's an often-discussed yet skeptically approached accessory - a conversion barrel from .40cal to 9mm.
I've been the most skeptical for this purchase (due to past years of trying barrels that don't work smoothly
-whether a so-called drop-in 'match barrel' of host gun same caliber or a quick caliber conversion barrel).
July 2011: Testing with Storm Lake conversion barrels have yielded positive results for myself and is
a versatile possibility for consumers. If one has limited budget and sees a need for both .40 and 9mm
calibers, a Glock 22 or 23 .40cal handgun can be purchased with appropriate conversion 9mm barrel
and a few Glock 17 or 19 9mm mags. Even if not on a budget, a spare 9mm barrel and mags set aside
for a .40cal model could be a smart teaching or emergency 'with commonality' kit, and undeniably the
smart addition to having a Glock 22 or 23 .40, along with a dedicated Glock 17 and/or 19 in 9mm...

G23 Storm Lake barrel worked in both Gen3, Gen4 models with their different slide, frame, recoil springs.
Facts: .40cal costs more than 9mm. 9mm is more controllable for all, available and plenty good for defense.
Barrels are drop-in, retail $160, work with original recoil springs in host .40cal handgun. Get 9mm mags.
Remember: be attentive if having switched caliber guns/mags/ammo on firing line or in defense situations!

Revolver Truths
Truth about revolvers and their limitations

What if you are on the ground, below sight or behind low cover, and you cannot risk getting up to a higher
position to manipulate/reload the revolver? Two hands is already tough; what if only one hand was usable?
Semiauto mag-fed handguns are far easier to work with given this uncomfortable and unwelcome situation.
This is why in the majority of situations and for many with limited time to take serious training opportunities,
I strongly recommend striker-fired semiauto pistols over revolvers. Either way, get uncomfortable and train.

Common medium frame revolver, grounded reload - with use of both hands. Gravity is against us unloading
empty cases and getting a fresh load into the cylinder. Anyone can conduct reloading while being upright.
Even if ejector has full throw on 4" barrel model, horizontal manipulating requirement hampers extraction.
Most definitely need to whisk out expanded empties and push in new cartridges, close cylinder, get gun up!

Now deal with the reloading task, grounded, using only one hand. Let's say your strong hand is unusable.
Empties won't eject cleanly; gravity isn't working for us. Indexing speedloader needs unmoving cylinder.
Stub of hand/arm may be best bet to work last empties out of cylinder then secure cylinder for reload task.

Ensuring fresh cartridges stay in cylinder (we're horizontal on the ground, not sitting or standing upright!)
then closing cylinder with stub of strong hand will have revolver ready to fire again. Practiced offhand or
even strong hand, one handed lately? Try it from lying down, raised head just enough to aim over cover!

S&W Model 442 Pro Series has a distinct advantage: cylinder is cut and designed to accept moon clips.
In this case, all 5 empties will dump positively when (short throw) ejector is punched, and a reload is fast
as 5 new cartridges are indexed and reloaded very easily as they are simultaneously loaded into cylinder.

One handed. What if the strong side right hand - as it is for the majority - is not usable? What can we do?
Use the stub of right to punch ejector, probably need to pluck out moon clip (thankfully it is a moon clip),
get fresh cartridges into cylinder, roll cylinder shut with stub of right hand, get gun up and firing with left!

*I can hear the loser comments with misled, self-justified, neophyte and tame range mentality proclaiming*
"Look! he's covering the muzzle with his right hand/body parts we are not wanting to destroy!"
Here's my retort: Hey dummy! It does not matter, you are FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE!
Those are the same losers that believe looking perfect in some weaver ideal push-pull stance on an indoor
range creating perfect 5 to 10 shot groups at a mere 3 yards is training and their friends / significant others
should listen to them because they shoot so perfect standing in one spot without discomfort or challenges.
Hey, I started there too. Now it's time for Americans to raise our standards and really learn how to fight.
*Open your eyes to how you can be better prepared and trained, thus being able to share it with others.*
Believe it, less live firing and more force-on-force training with others would be much better time spent
than weekly visits to the range expending unnecessary amounts of ammunition and getting so bored that
'we gotta get that laser' or 'I like try (buy) a different (fourth one yet!) handgun cause it's new!' WTH!?
