The grip texture is different between Gen 3 and Gen 4 as well. See the very first result on Google when searching "glock gen 4 vs gen 3":Gun Reviews ? Comparing the Glock Generation 4 to Generation 3
Also, new Gen 4 Glocks come with 3 magazines, while new Gen 3 Glocks come with 2 magazines. This makes up some of the price difference.
White and red label Glock's only ship with 2 magazines. It's the blue label models that ship with 3. This goes for both Gen 3 and Gen 4 models.
I don't know where this "Gen 4 ships with 3 magazines" rumor started but it needs to end. This is incorrect and causes confusion to new buyers! If they qualify for the blue label program they will receive 3 mags with their new Gen 3 or Gen 4 glock. Otherwise all new glocks ship with 2 mags.
Something that wasn't mentioned is that the Gen 4 will have less felt recoil due to that double spring system. Gen 4's produced in mid 2013 and later will come with 4 interchange back straps. 2 standard and 2 beavertail. Earlier Gen 4's will only come with the 2 standard back straps.

He will need an extra magazine as a range mag, keeping his initial two for carry.
Smart move buying a Glock. I was all set to purchase a Glock 19 until I compared the size to a Glock 26. The Glock 26 is much smaller and more concealable. I would reccomend the Glock 26 gen 4. In my opinion the 19 is to big for conceal carry.
Amen. I regularly carry a full size 1911 and I'm a little guy. I'll never understand where everyone gets the idea that you can't conceal full size guns.
Maybe it's just me, but I make sure to shoot my carry mags at the range, as well as any spare "range mags." I want to know for sure that any mags I carry are still functioning as they should. In fact, I believe that any mag I own should be suitable for carry. If a mag isn't good enough to carry because it malfunctions or for whatever reason, then it's probably not good as a range mag, either.
