hal1955 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I was at the Asia Pacific Glock Invitational In Cebu this weekend. Glocks were awarded at the dinner and the Asia Pacific Glock rep gave a little speech. He said that the bugs have been ironed out of the gen 4 and that the gen4 will be "oficially" released next year in 2012. Whatever that means. I was having too much fun drinking San Mig and watching the Brazilian dancers. Anyhow, I have steered clear of the gen4 because I've heard of a few problems with the early ones. I'd like to know if the gen4 recoil assembly really helps with muzzle flip. Does anyone have any experience with that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastarget Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 gen4 , 34, stock form recoild assembly, not much of a difference from a gen 3 stock gun , but recoil is perceived differently by people. Had to got to a gen 3 set up spring for competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to got to a gen 3 set up spring for competition. I don't really feel recoil or even hear the noise. What I do notice is muzzle flip and sight tracking. I was wondering if there was an improvement there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atmar Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 i think they went with the double spring set up bcos there were PD's that complained of malf's when they had the lights attached to the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sin-ster Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 The reduction in flip/change in impulse is real-- but it's not really something to write home about, IMO. TBH, I saw more improvement in a Gen 3 just dropping down to a 15# spring on the old style flat coil and captured rod. But we're talking perception here, so it could be a different story for anyone else! Between the new GRA and ejector, I think they're probably correct in saying that the kinks have been ironed out. I've already heard of 3 guns being "fixed" with their installation, and this just a short time after the latter part was being sent directly to certified/verified armorers.
