Sure. I don't think the GEN4 is lightyears ahead of the GEN3, but they're just a little bit more accurate, I like the grip texture just a little bit better, and I like the beavertail option. Given a choice between a GEN3 and a GEN4, I'll spend money on a GEN4. But I didn't throw out my GEN3s either, and I wasn't an early adopter of the GEN4.
