Curious, what kind of ammo did you run through it?

I'm giving 17 Gen4 another year and hopefully all bugs will be fixed by that time.  The guaranteed safe Gen4 at this time is probably the Gen4 26, IMHO.  Per Ed's, Gen4 will be the new standard starting next year.

Thinking very seriously about picking up a Gen 4 G17 tomorrow.  I have owned several Glocks and always got rid of them because of the grip.

I cannot find one at a range locally to shoot. Can someone give me a shooting impression as it relates to recoil and grip. The best shooting Glock I have ever had was a G26. Mainly in my opinion due to the spring. When I heard the new G17 had a similar setup I was stoked. Then when I heard that the backstrap was reduced on the Gen 4 from the Gen 3, as long as I did not add the larger backstraps, I though "I have got to try one".

So those of you that have shot the Gen 4 and 3, how much real world difference is there?

Thanks guys, I need to make a decision by about 9 am.
