The consensus suggestsGlockers prefer the 3rd generations over the 4th. One of the main issues with the 3rds is/was the abrasiveness of the polymids for a grip texture and, of course, the "fish gill" serrations. If I remember correctly,Glock toned-down the polymids a bit for the4th generation and added the adjustable backstrap.

Edit: Oops on topic, yes they are out G17 & G22.

The complaint of the "abrasiveness of the polymids..." was not the 4th 3rd gen, but the RTF frame. The 4th gen was toned down from that. and the the "fish grill serrations are also RTF only (so far).

ETA:
4th gen is out in 17 and 22 so far.
