I used to hate the .40 S&W until I fired my Gen 4 G35. the new RSA tamed this high pressure sharp recoiling round

I will admit that I have no experience with the Gen 3 .40's, however I carry a department issued a Gen 4 G22 everyday. I've had it 4 months now and have around 1000 rounds trough it. Really fine pistol! Recoil, while not a mouse fart, is quite controllable and I shoot it very well.
While I'm sure you'd be satisfied with a Gen 3 I can definitely say you won't be unhappy with a Gen 4.

Gen3 ! All of my Glock have been gen3 and I just bought a Leo trade in g22 3rd gen. Great gun and as far as Glocks go its just
Classic Glock goodness.
No guns are perfect but the older gen 3 's have a better reputation than the gen4's do right now

Not when it comes to the .40 models.
History of gen3 40's kaboom phenomenon < great rep? No.
Gen 4 rep so far? A lot better than gen3.

Don't own any Gen 4s as I haven't bought any new Glock 40s in awhile but I do sell a lot of them. If it were me I would go with the Gen 4 as the price differential includes a third magazine (which you're going to need anyway) and has a better magazine release (IMO). It also gives you the option to increase the grip size if you prefer.

I sure do like my gen4s. Worth the $50 extra dollars.

I already have ordered my gen 4. It fit way better in my hands. (They are quite large) the grip felt good and that I could actually keep ahold of it without having to readjust my grip like on the gen 3.

I've got a Gen4 G22 I purchased about 6 months ago, have put 1000 rds thru with no malfunctions. It shoots great and handles like a dream. I am really pleased with it...

I truly enjoy the Gen 4 grip texture, the dual RSA, and that big 'ol mag release.
I can't BELIEVE how good the trigger is on 'em, either!
All my new Glocks will be Gen 4 (or 5?).

Congrats on the Gen 4! Look at it this way if you feel weird at all about the slight increase in cost:
1. Extra mag!
2. The mag release rules!
3. I love the grip texture.
4. Large backstrap for someone like you with large hands.
