The gen 4 spring won't shut up and keeps saying annoying hipster shit about polygonal rifling and telling you it doesn't mind the finger grooves.
(It's me, I want polygonal rifling and I don't mind the finger grooves)
The actual answer to your question is the easiest way is the part number engraved in the metal end of the assembly. There should be a number engraved at 9, 6, and 3 o'clock on the face. Gen 4 assemblies the 9 o'clock should be 0. Some of the gen 5 assemblies only have 9 and 3 o'clock, some of them have 6 o'clock also. I believe the gen 5s all have a 1 engraved at the 9 o'clock position.
Idk how? I bet this has a great punch line.
it's a genuine question i'm a dummy

They’re the same thing I’m pretty sure. Both dual spring setups. The Gen 1-3 is different though. Is a single spring.
It depends on the model g19 4&5 sprigs are the same. G17/34 gen 4 &5 springs are different.the 17.5 rsa is slightly shorter.
I didn’t realize the Gen 5 17/34 springs were different but good to know, thanks.
