    | The venerable Glock is synonymous with reliability and ruggedness, proving itself over the years as a worthy contender in the self-defense and personal protection realms. With five total iterations to its name, Gaston Glock’s creations each come with their own quirks and attributes making them unique in their own right. I snagged three generations of Glock 19 pistols from the Guns.com warehouse – the Gen 3, Gen 4 and Gen 5 – to evaluate the similarities and differences among these series.

    | Interesting. I've got a Gen 3 G27. According to the article, it should sport a single recoil spring - it doesn't. It has the dual 'captured' Gen 4 recoil springs. 
 'Guess I lucked out, huh.

                      | Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!  — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |  |  |
