does glock still manufacture the gen 3 ?

[robert graham]

every gun shop i go to still is selling the g3 26 and 27.are these just leftovers from overstock,or do people prefer the g3 over the g4 ?

No, just Gen4s now. There will be Gen3's for a while though. Many people still don't trust the Gen4's after their ruff start.

The Gen 4's got off to a rough start, but everything seems fine now. I recently purchased a G19/Gen 4 that is flawless.

Although I'm sure they won't keep making the Gen 3s forever, I don't believe there has been a definitive answer from Glock as to when/if prodiction will be stopped. As of now they are still making them. The current configuration of Gen 4s prevents them from being sold in CA (and possibly other places from what I've heard), so only Gen 3s can be sold there. Also, many "3" owners still want that generation because of magazine compatability issues with the 4s.

Also, I don't believe every Glock model has been released as a Gen 4, and as a result those particular models are still being produced as 3s.

Ever since Glock released the Gen4, Glock has been stating that they will continue to produce the Gen 3 Glocks because they will not be making every Glock model as a Gen4.

That was a very concise explanation, thanks.

I have a Gen 3 27. My question is, Is the Gen 4 any better than the Gen 3??? My 27 works fine for me!!!
