I am a lefty so i love the glock gen5 all over the place and finally sold off my sig 9mm p226. I now have the 17 & 19 gen5's and you don't need a heavy p226 sig to shoot 9mm but may like a p226/229 if shooting 40 cal. I have shot plenty of lead in my old gen3,I just ran FMJ behind them to burn the lead out the barrell just like I do in my revolvers but shooting bare lead is wack anyway unless that's all you got.

Man I would never sell my M9A3 for a Glock....it’s my favorite 9mm and isn’t really all that heavy due to most of the slide is missing. If I could only have one pistol I’d go with it or my HK P30...I do own the G19 gen 5 but it basically just sits in my safe

I think it's just getting cool to cry about the Gen5's at this point. On my new 19 Gen 5, the trigger is better than any of my stock Gen 3 or 4 guns. I LOVE the lack of finger grooves, no skateboard tape needed for the grip, and the Ameriglo sights it came with are awesome. It will be the first Glock I carry absolutely bone stock. I guess people were expecting a Plasma rifle in the 40 watt range???

Eddie, The CZ P10c has a "not- incorrect" grip angle, better grip shape, better trigger, much better sights, better barrel, and front serrations. I used to drink the Glock koolaid, until the market innovated better options in the way of seven different brands of great striker fired pistols.

@bikeracerdude 7 жыл бұрын

James, We former Glock shooters were hoping for a corrected grip angle, better grip shape, better trigger, better metal sights, trigger guard undercut, and front serrations (in addition to the ambi slide control and removal of finger grooves)... Like on the HK vp, Sig P320, CZ P10c, FN 509, Walther PPQ, Beretta APX, and M&P.

@Helllllerrrrrrrrrrr 7 жыл бұрын

James SEMO well I honestly think those people don't even own guns. Just people on the internet. However I do think this was a fail on Glocks part. As a gen 3 and gen 4 owner, I don't see a reason to pick this gun. I think Smith has outdone them with the m&p 2.0 compact this time around. Better stock sights, better grip, better overall build materials. I personality prefer the trigger on the 2.0s. I want Glock to get back in the game in a big way. First off they are charging wayyyy too much for guns with plastic sights from 20+ years ago

@Helllllerrrrrrrrrrr 7 жыл бұрын

James SEMO oh and dont forget the didn't bevel the polymer with the slide. It's looks pretty stupid to me. I mean come on Glock. You even beveled the polymer on the gen 3 26 and 27 but not the damn gen 5 19? Give me a break

@scottsmith31 6 жыл бұрын

bikeracerdude everything you just mentioned is purely subjective and YOUR opinion. Glock doesn’t need to cater to YOUR needs. I love the grip angle (which is virtually identical to a 1911 and most other polymer guns) and the sights will be changed out anyway even if they were metal. Also, they come from the factory with metal sight options now.

Glock Gen 5 and Glock 19x both have serious design problems. Glock Gen 6??? I would get rid of front grip cut out on Gen 5, Get rid of flared magwell except on Glock 34. Improve the trigger to be lighter and crisper. Contour the slide and frame more for less boxiness. Undercut the trigger guard and change the grip angle to be more like a CZ.

Gen2 for life! I've only owned Gen1, 2, and early 3s. My gen 3 17 I removed the finger grooves and Stippled the frame. I double undercut the trigger guard. Apex trigger and upgraded the sights. The reason I mentioned the gen 3 is mainly because of removed finger grooves. I prefer not to have them as I like the way the grip feels better.

I would have liked to have seen Glock go all out, by adding a Mil-Spec picatinny rail, front cocking serrations, maritime cups, an enhanced trigger; and the M.O.S. slide milling. In my opinion, that setup would have put them back on top.

@albertpepe5124 7 жыл бұрын

A 1913 rail under a pistol dust cover is ugly ! buy a Gen 4 FS if you want forward serrations. Maritime Cups are on e-bay, Glock Store and Midway for cheap. If you need a special trigger, again check out the aforementioned sites. An MOS Slide is ugly if you never mount a RDS. They are on top. They're a Combat grade weapon, that all the others have copied. Never buy copies of anything, always go for the Original.

Albert Pepe, I'm not in the market for a Glock. I have several. I'm just making suggestions that may please new buyers; so that Glocks don't go the way of the dinosaur. I've been buying Glock pistols since they first came out. I'm good.

@albertpepe5124 7 жыл бұрын

I think we would like to see steel sights. Though, I think they use polymer to keep the cost down and let you choose from the plethora of after market that are available. All I add is a grip plug, extended slide release, extended mag release, Trijicons and custom end plate and light on gen 3'S.

@Helllllerrrrrrrrrrr 7 жыл бұрын

Albert Pepe lol to keep the cost down. You do know the msrp of these guns right? They cost more than guns that are better than the Glocks. Glock is stuck in the 80s. And also. Buy the time you find a 600 dollar gen 4 19 fs. For 600, drop a pair of trijis on it for 200. And do all the other shit, you looking at close to a grand for a gun that is essentially still plastic. Might as well buy a sig for that

@paulfuelling6829 2 жыл бұрын

An excellent breakdown of the variances between the gen 4 vs the gen 5. For all intents, a completely different pistol, with a cosmetically similar external appearance. The change from the polygonal ( po-lig-i- nal, not 'polly') barrel, originally touted as more accurate with a slightly higher velocity achievable, sales hyperbole on the former, accurate on the latter; to a change in sales hyperbole for the "marksman" barrel, only in the sencee that the barrel crown reduces risk of damage which may affect accuracy, but also allows easier forensic evidence tying recovered bullets to specific barrels, which has been reported, though not confirmed, as a federal request, at least for the 17M variant. Any similar technical reviews for the P80 and the 19X regarding internal changes gens 4 vs 5? Well done, J.O.!

So they took all the old technology out and put in all the new technology from their other models. Smart idea but probably not worth the effort. For someone who is wanting to purchase a Glock this could be a good thing, you get all the newest features that Glock offers in the G17/19. But if they are trying to attract new customers, those who see Glock's as just another polymer pistol, I don't think this will entice them. If I was interested in a Glock 17/19 I would purchase the Gen5 for sure, but I feel there are better options on the market still. However, if someone new to pistols asked what would be a good first gun, Glock would be one brand I would recommend they consider.Great in-depth review though. Definitely the most thorough that I have seen. I am going over to watch your range session now.

Interesting takedown. Thanks for the educational content. I always liked the finger grooves, so I'm sad to see them go (I wonder if they could've done what H&K does with their new lines and offered a front strap with and without the grooves?); but I haven't tried the Gen 5 yet, so -- can't speak to the changes. Kinda disappointing that they still haven't figured out a way to make an ambi mag release, but I'm eternally grateful that they've finally done it on the slide release. I've typically gone H&K for those reasons alone but I've always wanted to add a few Glocks to the family collection (no point in fanboying over companies -- they're all fun to shoot). Here's hoping we see a Gen 5 G26 / G43 in the not-too-distant future. Instant purchases on that day for me.

@protectiverailroaddad7541 7 жыл бұрын

Good thorough bench review/comparison as always. Interesting enough the gen5 changes will probably mean very little to most shooters. While the finish may be better or more durable it's not like the other glock finishes were horrible and wearing quickly and rusting or anything. Also the trigger may feel a little more crisp, but it's not competing with the other superior striker triggers that have shown up over the last several years. I'm just not sure the changes are really worth sacrificing almost all the internal parts compatibility. The trigger spring is questionable more so than anything. Those guys over at Royal Range USA did a 1000 round endurance test and when the gun got hot around 800+ rounds the trigger started sticking to the rear. When the gun cooled off they claimed that malfunction went away totally. Yes it was a sample of one, but I've seen similar test that other guns passed with flying colors, including other gen glocks

@JustinOpinionChannel 7 жыл бұрын

Interesting. You'd have to assume that Glock ran many thousands of rounds through test guns throughout the development process. But often, such tests are approached from "try to pass" rather than "try to fail" perspective, and outsiders aren't as kind or don't follow the script. Time will tell. I think the new internals are fairly well vetted and can handle 9mm - but not much more.

@protectiverailroaddad7541 7 жыл бұрын

Justin Opinion I agree. Here's the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epljaJWXt9jMg5s.html, go to the 11:30 mark to see the trigger sticking issue. I'm thinking glock will only offer the gen5 in 9mm since they went back to the 2 pins instead of 3 pins that were incorporated to strengthen the larger calibers. Or who knows maybe the 40's and 45's will have 3 pins if they make them. I'm still on the fence as to whether the gen5 has enhancements or just changes.

I know that initially that was the information I had, as well as others in the industry that I know. We know understand that the barrel is octagonal and remains polygonal, but early word was "more traditional rifling".

I think the rear sight notch is just a smidge wider than the previous gens, Also i heard the trigger shoe itself is a smooth faced surface even on the 19s. Where as before the compacts and sub compacts all had the serrated trigger. Great break down.

Thanks - I didn't compare the sight notch - I'll do that. Wish I also had a 19, but alas... just a poor kid trying to make videos on a shoestring! :)

Justin Opinion I hear ya. Just offering some info. I think also that like you noted in the vid, the 17 recoil spring assembly is a diff size compared to previous gens. I think on the 19 it is the same length as previous gens. Which is strange

Verified - rear sight notch is .030" wider in Gen5.

Justin Opinion Nice! Thanks for checking that out for me. Probably don't make a huge difference but still good to note. Glock going out of their way to give us a battle sight picture hahaha. With plastic sights!
