Pictured above is actually a gen 4 . You can tell by the grip texture.
Is this a site you’ve done business before ? Seems sketchy they show a gen 4 and describe it as a gen 3

no I haven’t. But most likely not sketchy based on who owns it.

Texture a little different but it's lacking the option of adjustable backstraps

Here's the link from the wholesaler:
Everything comes back as a Gen 3.

BMF is correct. The photo in your #1 post is a Gen 4. The Gen 4's has a dimple grip texture and removable backstraps. Gen 3 does not.
Your #6 post shows a Gen 3 model (less aggressive/ kinda smooth grip texture.)

Looks like the wholesaler isn’t keeping up with pics and details.

Between my G35 Gen 3 and my G17 Gen 5 and there are noticeable differences. Grip texturing is very different, recoil spring assemblies and triggers are very different. The gen 3 trigger seems to have a more mechanical feel with a sharp “metal” break. The Gen 5 trigger has a softer feel with more of a rolling break. Hand cycling the slide there is a difference in the feel of the recoil spring. The Gen 3’s are like a classic manual sports car with no power assist while the Gen 5’s are like a modern sports car with power everything. I know it’s kind of a weird way to put it, but handle them back to back and you’ll see what I mean.
