I have a Gen. 4 Glock 22 that I use without the back strap sleeve. It fits me better than any handgun I've ever owned in 24 years of shooting. I shoot it better than my M&P9. The thing conceals amazingly well for its size under an untucked shirt. Mine's a 2011 model with the frying pan finish and it's been flawless through 2,500 to 3,000 rounds. I have a Gen. 3 23 that I bought used. It still had the copper anti-seize on the inside of the slide rails. I have abused it through every day carry and it's been very dependable. It's scratched up and the rear site is dinged up but it works. The high points are finish-less but to me that adds character. It's been covered in perspiration and rained on numerous times but with an occasional MPro7 wipe down, it has not rusted. Glock will get the the new models right and in the meantime as you said, the Generations 3 and 4 are a safe bet. They just work. That's all I can tell you.

Give it a while as in a year or two. The first department that took delivery on the 17M, the Indianapolis Metro PD, is sending theirs back.

I've been shooting Glocks since 1992 and carry one everyday but with the advent of the Gen. 4 series they have a habit of putting un-vetted guns on the market. What would break them is for IMPD to do what TX DPS did with the M&P9's-----send them all back and cancel the order. Until a major client does this, they will continue this type of behavior.
