Is there really any differences between the two besides the markings?
Well a Glock is a Glock, dependable as hell but down right ugly as hell. Not a fan of glocks for a number of reasons but you cant beat it in the reliability factor.
And when the chips are down, that is all that really matters.
Agreed they are the AK of the pistol world

Different elves working on different steel in different caves. Some folks swear that they can tell if their tupperwear was made in Austria or Georgia because A, or B, or C is "different". Other folks put tape over the markings and challenge them to say where a specimen was made. I have yet seen/heard of anybody that can consistently tell the country of origin when comparing one against one. Trying to do that when doing "blind" tests with several examplesof each seems to be even harder.
But anything that came before the current model is either better and less messed up or the new version is vastly improved and worth every extra penny. Pick one and stick to it just so you do not go crazy.
stay safe.

Umm...
Y'all never heard of the Hi-Point, have you?
Allow me to correct you. A Hi-point is uglier, and more dependable, than Glock. And its dependability, as well as its low-price on the market (Selling between 130$-to-190$), renders it the AK-47 of the Pistol world.
Sorry to burst y'alls tupperware fetishist dreams, but Glocks do not occupy the entire field of firearm attributes, despite what your 600$ Plastic pea-shooters might lead you to believe.
Have read/also told that the current Tenifer finish on the newer Gen.4 pistols, doesn't wear as well under all conditions as the older finish on Gen.1-3 especially in Afghanistan-but then again...What does?? :banghead:
Also that this change in finishing might be due to EPA Regulations affecting the use of the older Tenifer finish in the US, contrary to its application for last 25yrs in Europe and as opposed to what's available for use now with the manufacture in the US?
