Hi Damon and welcome. In the broad strokes, the Gen 5 guns are going to be "better" in many regards if you were weighing a Glock Gen 3 vs Gen 5 pistol. The barrels are better on the Gen 5 guns, the trigger is better, you can get a MOS model, swappable backstraps are cool, and some people find the finger grooves annoying.
