Some opinions after shooting them side by side.
  • The two stage recoil spring in the Gen 5 makes a noticeable difference in the recoil. Gen 4 is an easy to shoot 9mm. Gen 5 is just a little easier to get follow up shots.
  • I like the grip surface of the Gen 5 a little better. Gen 4 works fine. Gen 5 is just a little better.
  • I like the magazine release on the Gen 5 a little better. Gen 4 works fine. Gen 5 is just a little bigger and easier to use.
I have and do recommend the 5 to new purchasers. I have not traded my 4 in for a 5. Both are boring and functional.
