It takes a very secure man to call himself "petite."

I still bought another Gen 3 G19 after handling the Gen 5 at the shop. I own all Gen 3. The dimensions on the Gen 3 are more to my liking and I like the 30+ years of proven durability of the polygonal rifling. Any G19 is a buy really however. Whether it is a Gen 2, 3, 4 or 5 you cannot go wrong on a G19.

That woman has the manliest voice I have ever listened to.

That new finish on the slide does look alot nicer 👍🏽

I'll wait until the Glock 19 Gen 6S comes out in rose gold.

The removal of the finger groves is something that I have been waiting for on the G19. The finger grooves would fall in the wrong place for me to get a comfortable grip on the G19. What I can't understand is why they put the U shaped notch back into the frame at the bottom front of the magwell like the Gen 1 and 2 Glocks.

Yes Thank you for mentioning the new 3 piece trigger assembly that compresses a spring within the trigger housing, compared to a single stretching spring of previous generations. I thought that more pieces would led to a higher failure rate. I tested my G19 5 by completing removing the 3 piece trigger mechanism in the housing, and was surprised that the pistol still functioned! Simple reliable durable design.

People went crazy buying the Hogue slip on grips for their Gen 1 and 2 Glocks. It was the craze during the 90's. Everyone wanted finger grooves on everything. So Glock listened to its customers and built them in on the Gen 3. People were happy. Just like every other fad the finger grooves have gone out of style. People are now hating on Glock for a feature that was demanded by the masses. We have come full circle back to the flat front strap. I am seeing the same trend in the making with the front serrations. You can't be a tacticool tier 1 operator unless you press check your firearm. So people are bashing Glock for not having front serrations just like they did when they didn't have finger grooves. Glock will and has supplied front serrations because of this. But years from now when the press check craze dies off and people complain about them being useless you will see them bashing Glock and whining about them needing to remove them just like they are doing with the finger grooves. It's a never ending cycle when it comes to consumers.

You have a deep voice for a girl.

Little limp wrist is why the casings are hitting her in the face and such...stronger grip is a suggestion. Over all Great video

The Glock is the # 1 gun for a gun fight , there's lots of very very good guns but the Glock is top.

Glock is the Porsche of pistols . Subtle changes but unmistakably glock

Is anyone else still happy with their gen 3's

Bought my 19 g 4 a year ago. Shoot it a couple times a week. Keep collecting guys, and you can own the Glock Gen 2,400! :) I HOPE you guys got a great price for your gen 4 at least. Don't know how the NEW rifling will change my shots. Or will it? I REALLY WISH GlOCK had adjusted the shape of the trigger guard a little bit. I have smaller hands, and with every shot the recoil bruises my knuckle. Last year, I test fired ALL the hand guns recommended for ladies. At every distance in a 25 yard indoor range, the Glock 19 gen 4 was most consistent and had the best marks on the targets. Haven't been sorry once on my choice of weapon.

very disappointing that they got rid of the finger grooves up front... would be cool if they could make a swap able front strap so you could have finger grooves if wanted. Ive grown to love guns with finger grooves as they force me to put my hand in the same position every time. Guess ill be sticking with my gen 3 for a while... :(

I was hoping for front slide Serrations

This gun is the jack of all trades. It's very reliable but it doesn't make me smile. I prefer my CZ PCR.

Of course, one month after I buy a gen 4 brand new, glock announces the gen 5 😩

I like the tapering on the front of the slide, and the glared mag well, but they couldve made it optic ready, (like a growing number of pistols today, getting it out ahead a little), and they couldve put a taper on the top corners of that blocky slide, as well as added front cocking serrations,( and, idk, maybe integrated an adjustable trigger), but they really need to offer a completely new model in addition to the classic one they always attempt to redo, like maybe producing a hammer fired version, now that would get buyers really excited. Thanks for the share

Great review! To the point, covered all the changes. Thanks

gen 6 going to have a factory beavertail and front slide serrations can see it coming

Best review on this gun so far. Subbed.👍🏻

I just wish they'd make a glock that doesn't look like a 1989 Toyota Camry.

Everyone bitching and moaning.. Good God. I look forward to the gen 5. Seems like a much better Glock out of the box. Change sights and it seems to be everything someone would want/need. Left or right handed

Nice and thorough review.

I wouldnt be surprised if the coating is IonBond DLC vapor vacuum coated. I believe it is the best coating process for firearms. I have everything done in it and its not a baked on spray paint coating like others.

Can't wait for the G26 Gen5, been waiting for an ambi Glock for so long to pull the trigger on the purchase.

Excellent review and channel. Thank you.

I've seen other videos on the Gen 5 that said Ameriglo night sights will be an option from the factory.

Just got a Glock 17 MOS with a vortex venom red Dot a month ago and using is at my duty weapon. Just because something new comes out doesn't mean all previous models are shit now. I'm loving the MOS 17 and don't plan on getting a gen 5. I mean it's getting to be like iPhones now...and no I'm not a Glock fanboy I just like the simplicity of breaking Glocks down and the feel of the grips and triggers on them.

Just shot one very nice trigger will be buying it next week

I'm still using my gen 2 M19 that I bought in 89. It was a great shooter then and 40 thousand or so rounds later it's still a great shooter. Mine is bone stock other than some Talon grip tape. Other than that I ever saw a need to change a thing.

Im one of those wierdos who definitely prefer the finger grooves! At least on the 19. They just work for me personally, but I understand why they removed them...to fot more users better.

I bought one and I love the trigger in the past i threw the spring away and got the NY trigger mod.

That first shot at 5:00 almost made it to home plate

For a "perfect" gun, they sure have the most aftermarket parts available.

AWESOME, ONLY GLOCK CAN IMPROVE ON PERFECTION 💪🏻👊🏻

I like the Gen 4 glocks better not thrill about them taking the finger grooves off but I love glocks so I might get a gen 5 when other calibers come out I'm not a 9mm fan

They really need to stick all the upgrades on one gun!!! Damn I would love to have one of these with Front serrations, steel sights, and colored grip

Very well presented & articulated! Me gonna get one ASAP!!! Dang pretty lady you're a great shot but your voice is deeper than mine!😎

Excellent comparison thanks!

Malibu Stacy has a new hat.

I would hope that Glock would get the gen5 40sw's out soon and fast. Glock now understands that the FBI is not the holy grail on the 40sw vs 9mm thing and law enforcement and civilians alike still love and use the 40sw to the point they still buy and shoot the caliber and request this caliber from other manufactures.

Great video! Well done 🤙🏼

YESSSSSSS FINALLY AC CLOCK WITHOUT THOSE DAMN FINGER GROOVES

People will buy this and add finger grooves people always want what they cant have and it wont look crap like a gen 5 after only of telling with all that customization is from the slide stops

awesome review!

So I'm still stuck in the gen 3 world. I've got a gen 3 glock and I love it but admit that I see this and want a gen 5. Anyone here own two of the same gun? Because I want to convince myself so bad that it's a good idea. This gen 3 glock was a gift and I can't just sell it. I sure like the feel of the newer ones.

When are the other models coming out, I would like the gen 5 Glock 21 but not gonna wait forever

top of the line vid thx

Thank You for the very informative video. Iam thinking about getting the new Gen 5 and these kind of videos really help with the decision. If you don't mind me saying the gal in the video gets a grade of a 10+. She's gorgeous.

They made this thing even fatter? God damn it

The trigger guard is still the same uncomfortable design as the previous versions. Hardly enough room for your trigger finger and still requires an undercut so you knuckle don't take a beating during practice sessions. All in all, still less than comfortable ergonomics.

I like the 17 & 19 but I'll wait for the 29!

So if the Glock 19 was "perfect" with finger grooves, is it now perfect without them?!

Smooth grip is better, until you cut a stupid hole in the bottom of the front grip. Now, you pinkie rests on a hole? WTF. The mag extraction problem went away with the drop free mags. This is an inferior grip

METAL SIGHTS GLOCK!!!!!!!!! FOR FUCK SAKE!!!

Glock is an old gun now and no longer groundbreaking in any regard and quite dated. They are simply catching up to everyone else with the Gen 5. I thought they were amazing when they first came out circa 1987 in the U.S. but I no longer own any of them. I congratulate Glock for rewriting the book but that was three decades ago. These changes are welcome additions but hardly enough to consider a purchase. There are better choices these days. Glock will always have a sentimental place in my heart but not in my gun safe.

No front slide serrations,no better textured grips,no slightly extended slide release buttons,no locking pin for rear sights,no trigger reset or width enhancement but I'm also most surprised that there were no front grip sizes and models like the rear grip plus I was hoping for a better magazine funnel not some wider bottomed gun.

I’ve been trying to tell people for years that Glock hasn’t been the best option since generation 3. The gen 3’s were 450$ NEW and had everything a gen 5 offers still to this day a Glock hasn’t really changed. I could get lightly used gen 3 glocks with 3 mags out of box for 400 bucks back in 2010 era. 10 years later glock hasn’t actually changed or offered more for the same design except raise the price tag upwards of 200 dollars. When I see someone coughing up 600+ dollars for a stock glock even I’m embarrassed and feel bad for them. That’s robbery. Glock fans are some of the most biased group of gun lovers you can meet, they still don’t understand there are better pistols out there for less money. Now don’t get me wrong lol my safe is FULL of glocks but they are all gen 3 and one gen 4. I bought into the marketing hype only once and got a gen 4 19. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. My gen 3 19 is the exact pistol the 4 is. I cannot tell a difference other than the gen 3 has seemed to hold up a lot better against wear over the years compared to the 4. The finish on the gen 3’s are more durable and I’ve had no problems with the plastic guide rods now pushing a gen 3 19 and rtf2 17 to upwards of 8k rounds.

Glock 19 baby

...agree about the sights: night sights are a must for any defensive handgun. Is the guide rod stainless steel? The width could be a problem for smallish CCW permit holders too. A gun that wide might as well be a 10mm unless you are a recoil sissy. I still think that Smith, Walther, Sig and so on has Glock beat. My EDC gun is a Glock 23, Gen 3, which has malfed a few times when new but seems to have settled into a groove of reliability for now.

I'd like to have seen steel sights. Maybe the option of a frame mounted safety.

The Bic lighter of pistols..........I'm sticking with my Sig.

Back to the basic. Look like first generation from the left side view. Double slide stop nice.........

6 years of gen5.

I gotta get a Glock.

If that's holster wear already at :45?, I'm still not sure about the slide finish. & if it is a holster wear line, it's definitely not a DLC coating. I won't buy another Glock until they fix this crappy slide finish problem. I know you don't have a Glock because you're looking for pretty but I don't like them scratched up all to shit either.

Glock 23 Gen 5 would be good for me I have the Gen 4, wouldn't mind a second one.;)

Cant wait for the 10mm

I don't like the new cuts on the slide near the muzzle. The gen 4 looks better.

Just picked this up right now

i like g19

If you own a glock just buy gen 5 parts like slide and barrel etc

They did all this new work to the gen 5 but they couldn't bevel the frame to match the slide

Awesome!!!!!

I prefer the Gen4.

I don't mind the finger grooves, to bad the width increased though.

I like my new gen 4 glock19 w front serations n metal sights better than the gen 5.

Looks just like a glock 43, and the front looks just like my glock 29 gen 4

so does this mean you have a choice between gen 3, gen 4, and gen 5 now? or are they discontinuing the gen 3 and gen 4? is there any compatibility between the gen 3 and gen 4 with the gen 5? seems like a huge improvement. I always hated the finger grooves and always wished they would radius the front of the slide like the G26 slide

Umm the extra width is at the ambidextrous slide release lol. The slide and frame is the same

That damn ambidextrous slide lock. Come on ! Do left handed people actually shoot guns!? I'll stick with my gen3. Really ? I'm just jealous goddamnit

I'll stick with my gen 3....Thank you very much...could of done much better.

So basically they re-released the Gen 2 (1 pin), with Glock 26 beveled front, and Gen 4 parts.

We need a g19 size frame with a g17 size slide like the Salient model I just don't have a couple k to drop on a pistol.

The generation one was supper.... Don't change nothing if not broke..

Love Glock

Hope they make a .45 acp gen5!!!!

Hello. In your video you mentioned that Glock beefed up or strengthen their rail system from the gen4. Could you please explain how a beefed up or strengthened the rail system on the new gen 5?

The gen 5 is only wider than the 4 in the magwell area.

So all that said.. might as well wait for glock to catch on and start selling the weapon with the front slide grips, matches the lower half with the slide bevel, and come with a M.O.S. Seems to be the biggest complaints if everyone's videos.

This guys voice reminds me of the guy from the Visene commercials...Dry eyes

Not sure why but the them not beveling the front of the frame to match the slide bugs the crap out of me.

This is what the Gen 4 should have been, minus the slide stop being on both sides and the frame not matching the slide. Wth are they thinking? All 7 left handed shooters in the world rejoice, you've just aggravated millions of right handed shooters. Meanwhile I can't get a left handed Fender Jaguar for less than $1200

Having a female demonstrate while narrated in first person gives it the vibe of Dr Girlfriend from Venture Bros.

Would it have killed them to take a little extra time to bevel the front of the frame like the g26 and 27? That is just cheap and cheesy in my opinion. I'll keep the gen 3 and 4 I have. If they can't take the time to adress a small cosmetic issue like that then I wonder what else they chinched on. The fact that they did away with the polygonal rifling is another,and more significant, deal breaker for me.

I'm no Glock hater I own Gen 3 & Gen 4 Glocks what I fail to understand is how many generations of Glocks will it take before they get it right. As much as they costs they still have crappy sights & triggers! So why should we have to buy good sights & better triggers? I won't be buying any Gen 5 Glocks or anymore Glocks until they remedy this. I'm fine with my Sigs & S&W M&P Pro & my Barettas even my Rugers have better sights & triggers. Just my two cents
