Tell me more.

The generations I'm talking about are just improvements made to the existing pistols.

Glock still makes the Gen3, but in 2010 they released the gen4 and in 2017-8 they released the Gen5. They are just improvements.

For the Gen4 pistols:
Stippling is more aggressive
Reversible magazine release
Modular backstraps
Recoil spring is different

For the Gen5 pistols:
Finger grooves removed
Button rifled barrel
Front cocking serrations
Beafier frame
Better trigger
Flared Magwell


Gen5 is the newest/best, Gen3 is the stripped down no frills AK version of a pistol, Gen 4 was transitional. There are other variants mixed in with these, but these are the main generations of Glock pistols.

The PSA Dagger is based off the Gen3 Glock, its an outdated model from Glock. I would be that PSA is taking some market share from Glock because they are selling their daggers for cheap, but they probably arent taking any market share from people looking for the features in the Gen5 Glocks nor are they taking any of the law enforcement market share(that Im aware of).

My comment about the Gen3 was more for a new buyer, looking for a new pistol. If you have the money to spend, there is 0 reason to buy a gen3 glock over a gen5 glock.

And your magazines might be fine, they started making them all with the ambi cut quite a few years ago.
