OK...The results so far..
For those posts that actually made a choice,,meaning not the either one is nice or check out the 2.0 Shield etc.. here are the results:
Gen 2: 1 Vote
Gen 3: 6 Votes
Gen 4: 12 Votes
Gen 5: 4 Votes
The results are for the Gen 4 UNLESS you do not like the finger grooves.
I'm surprised that there were more votes for the Gen 3 than the Gen 5.
The only gun that the Gen 5 beat out was the Gen 2 LOL!
There were many that liked any Generation. 3-4 or 5 that felt good for the shooter.
I do not know if these votes helps the OP / Shooter but I would say this:
You have the votes and they ALL say it's really what YOU LIKE!
The votes can point you in the right direction..but it's you that will live with the gun.
Do yourself a favor and go to a local range and rent the guns (I'm sure most if not all will be available)
Actually see for yourself which one feels good to you and more importantly which one you are the most accurate with.
Ultimately it's the Feel and Accuracy that could one day save your life!
When I have done a rental test with one or a few guns at a range, it is usually pretty evident within a few shots or mags whether I like the gun or not!
I have a feeling that if you get a one on one with a Gen 4, Gen 5, 2.0 and your Uncles gun...You will definitely know at the end which one YOU vote for!
Then let us know.
Good luck and Enjoy the process...
