Can anyone advise the difference between the Glock 17 CO2 BB Blow-back Air Pistol Gen 3 and the Gen 4 versions?

Gen 3

Gen 4
https://www.umarexusa.com/products/glock-17-gen4

From what I can figure out, the Gen 4 has a bit lower fps (320 vs. 365), a more realistic drop out mag and different grip attachments like a real Glock. Where as the Gen 3 is said to have a more tinny slide, and more basis drop out mag.

Any other differences?

I see the Gen 3 will be available in Canada shortly, what about the Gen 4?

I think the Gen3 is a re-branded 9XP...

From what I have seen up to now, I'm waiting for Gen 4 it is the one closer to the real thing... and most thing is the blowback and SA trigger...

Found this on the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwJcBnNrs24 I'm waithing for that one...

I'm also waiting for the Gen 4 of the 17 and 19. I don't want to get one of the first generations and tell myself that I could have waited and get a better/more realistic version.
I'm just hoping it's not gonna retail for 259$. With the gen 3 currently going for 99.99$ US, I'm expecting 149.99?

You can’t buy a single airgun for everything. Golfers use many different clubs, airgunners need more than one gun
