What “Gen4" means — the headline changes
Generation 4 (introduced around 2010) was Glock’s major mid-life refresh that focused on ergonomics, durability, and user customization. The core user-facing changes are:
Modular backstrap system — interchangeable backstraps (small, medium, large) to change grip circumference and better fit different hands.
Dual recoil-spring assembly — a two-piece recoil spring/guide designed to reduce perceived recoil and extend spring life (improves longevity and reduces slide battering).
Enlarged, reversible magazine catch — bigger mag release that can be swapped for left-handed use (reversible on the frame).
More aggressive grip texture and slightly revised frame geometry — better purchase in wet/ stressful conditions.
Preserved core Glock features — Safe Action striker system, simple takedown, polymer frame with steel slide, proven feed/extract geometry.
Those four items are what people mean when they say “Gen4" — they show up on Glocks across calibers (G17, G19, G22, G23, G26, etc.) made in that production window.
Typical specifications & how Gen4 affects them
Gen4 doesn’t change caliber-specific specs (barrel length, capacity) — those are model-dependent — but it does affect weight/feel and ergonomics:
Backstraps: small/medium/large kits (ships with a medium or large depending on model) — changeable without tools.
Recoil spring assembly: the dual spring sits in the guide rod area; replacement springs are specific to Gen4 (and some later models use different spring setups).
Magazine release: larger paddle improves tactile index and speed of magazine changes; reversible via simple field change.
Grip texture: more aggressive; combined with backstraps gives better control and less slippage.
If you want model-specific numbers (G19 Gen4 barrel length, weight, capacity), tell me which model and I’ll include exact Gen4 published specs — otherwise the Gen4 changes are mostly ergonomic/internal, not large dimensional changes.
Controls, ergonomics, and handling
Trigger: Glock Safe Action (unchanged conceptually) — most Gen4 pistols retain the same trigger geometry as Gen3, though feel can vary slightly by production run.
Grip fit: Backstraps let users tune grip circumference for smaller or larger hands — a major practical improvement over earlier fixed frames. Finger grooves remain on many Gen4 frames (some runs differ).
Magazine release: Larger and easier to activate quickly; reversible via small allen or punch pop-out (simple procedure).
Slide/controls: Slide serrations, takedown method, and general control layout remain classic Glock — very low training overhead for users familiar with other Glocks.
Magazines, springs & parts compatibility
Magazines: Model-dependent capacity (G17 = 17, G19 = 15 standard, G26 = 10, G22 = 15 in .40, etc.). Gen4 magazines are generally compatible with other generations in the same model family, but check fit: mag floorplates and catch fit are typical interchange points.
Springs: Dual recoil spring assembly is Gen4-specific — replacement springs should be Gen4-compatible. Guide rod geometry differs from Gen3 and Gen5 in some cases.
Aftermarket parts: Very broad support — most Gen3 aftermarket parts fit Gen4 slides/frames for model-specific items (barrels, slides, sights). Backstrap-specific accessories are Gen4-focused.
Reliability & maintenance
Reliability: Gen4 Glocks maintain Glock’s strong reputation for reliability. The dual-spring can reduce felt recoil and reduce frame/slide stress over time. Proper lubrication and clean/inspection cycles keep them extremely dependable.
Maintenance tips:
Replace recoil-spring assembly every 5–10k rounds (or sooner if you use hot ammo frequently).
Rotate mags and replace mag springs if feeding issues occur.
Inspect frame rails and slide locking surfaces for unusual peening if the gun has very high round counts.
Clean extractor area and ensure the firing-pin safety is free of debris — classic Glock upkeep.
Common upgrades and accessories (what owners actually do)
Sights: Tritium night sights, low-profile steel sights, or fiber-optic. Many owners replace factory polymer sights.
Triggers: Aftermarket connectors or drop-in trigger units to reduce pre-travel / smooth break (install carefully or have a gunsmith do it).
Barrels & slides: Threaded barrels, match barrels, optics-ready slides (MOS) — slide milling should be done by a qualified armorer.
Holsters: Massive support — get a holster explicitly rated for “G[model] Gen4" or for the specific model (G19 Gen4, G17 Gen4, etc.).
Grips & backstrap swaps: Many users change backstraps to tune fit, or use grip sleeves.
Magazines & basepads: Extended baseplates, +2 mags — test for reliable function.

Magazines, springs & parts compatibility
Magazines: Model-dependent capacity (G17 = 17, G19 = 15 standard, G26 = 10, G22 = 15 in .40, etc.). Gen4 magazines are generally compatible with other generations in the same model family, but check fit: mag floorplates and catch fit are typical interchange points.
Springs: Dual recoil spring assembly is Gen4-specific — replacement springs should be Gen4-compatible. Guide rod geometry differs from Gen3 and Gen5 in some cases.
Aftermarket parts: Very broad support — most Gen3 aftermarket parts fit Gen4 slides/frames for model-specific items (barrels, slides, sights). Backstrap-specific accessories are Gen4-focused.
Reliability & maintenance
Reliability: Gen4 Glocks maintain Glock’s strong reputation for reliability. The dual-spring can reduce felt recoil and reduce frame/slide stress over time. Proper lubrication and clean/inspection cycles keep them extremely dependable.
Maintenance tips:
Replace recoil-spring assembly every 5–10k rounds (or sooner if you use hot ammo frequently).
Rotate mags and replace mag springs if feeding issues occur.
Inspect frame rails and slide locking surfaces for unusual peening if the gun has very high round counts.
Clean extractor area and ensure the firing-pin safety is free of debris — classic Glock upkeep.
Common upgrades and accessories (what owners actually do)
Sights: Tritium night sights, low-profile steel sights, or fiber-optic. Many owners replace factory polymer sights.
Triggers: Aftermarket connectors or drop-in trigger units to reduce pre-travel / smooth break (install carefully or have a gunsmith do it).
Barrels & slides: Threaded barrels, match barrels, optics-ready slides (MOS) — slide milling should be done by a qualified armorer.
Holsters: Massive support — get a holster explicitly rated for “G[model] Gen4" or for the specific model (G19 Gen4, G17 Gen4, etc.).
Grips & backstrap swaps: Many users change backstraps to tune fit, or use grip sleeves.
Magazines & basepads: Extended baseplates, +2 mags — test for reliable function.
