As an instructor, I've always told myself I need to be proficient with the most common firearms in the marketplace. I've got my 1911. I've got an M9. And I've got a Walther PPQ... my favorite full size gun hands down. However, I've never spent much time with the Glock platform.
So as an instructor, I could always justify the PPQ will fit the role of a polymer striker-fired 9mm gun. I've always used it for IDPA matches too. Fits me like a glove.
Lo and behold, my local club is dropping IDPA for 3-gun. Yes, exciting. I'll participate in one or two, but my interest is really around handgun competition. Not many local clubs doing IDPA, so I figured I'd branch out and try some GSSF competition. Straw on the camel's back.
The only problem with GSSF? I need to use a Glock... so I'm leaning heavily towards the G19. Very common (and I always liked it better than the G17 when I did shoot them).
Just debating Gen3 vs. Gen4. Other than the removable backstraps, is there an advantage to one over the other?
Thanks!
