Gen 5 Release?

>>32215226

My guess is the Glock 17M "improvements" will be revealed at the Jan 2017 SHOT show in some form of a gen4.5 or gen5 series.

So...I'd at least wait until shot show and see what the fuck glock unveils.

>>32215226
There is no need for a gen5. Glock has already achieved perfection.

>>32215226
>I'd really like to get a g26 for my ccw
Get one. I like mine more than my 19 tbqh.

>>32215286
I've shot the g26 and the 19 multiple times and I'd always pick the 26, hands down.

>>32215272
I mean it says it right there in their name and everything

>>32215226
Any ideas what the Gen 5 offers over Gen 4?

>>32215624
Front cocking serrations and no finger grooves, as well as some other minor tweaks.

get a new gen 3 they are the best and cheap

>>32215657
In other words, everything that gen3 should have been.

>>32215226
Will the gen 5 have a trigger that's not dogshit like the gen 4?

>>32215226
Are slide locks on glocks reversible/can I buy a kit to switch it? I'm a lefty, couldn't get a straight answer from anyone at gander mountain yesterday.

>thinking any glock can be perfection with that garbage new slide treatment
Seriously, compare a new Glock slide to an old Glock slide side by side and you'll pick the old one every time.

>>32215813
I had one at the counter at the shop and was having a tough time with it because it's so small. What's your technique?

>>32215797
no.

I work at a gun shop, last month our glock rep dropped off a bunch of guns which included a gen5 glock 19, 17, and 21.

We got to fingerfuck them for a week and we had the 19 displayed on our counter. The 17's slide stop literally broke on day two, and the 21's trigger got mushy as fuck after dry firing it, until it stopped moving altogether.

Our rep took those two back and we have to send the g19 back actually tomorrow morning.

tl;dr
Have shitty gen5s at my disposal temporarily, AMA

It's 10:30pm fuckboi. also, that's not a question

>>32216100
Glock "Perfection"

>>32215272
They had ironed out everything in their design with Gens 2 and 3, yet they keep rolling out new guns. Gotta keep selling the latest and greatest to LEOs and people with more money than sense.

>>32215624
Left hand thumb slide lock/release also...

>>32216387
fucking wrong

>>32215226
my gen 4 g20 is great. fear not the gen 4. i'm surprised actually, bing a gen 3 purist.

>>32215226
Can't wait to get back to no finger fucking grooves.

I think you mean the RTF2 Glock

Buy a Glock
>trigger sucks. buy aftermarket trigger
>grip sucks. take a dremel tool to it to round it off and trim it down so it actually fits a normal human hand.
>grip still sucks. get something hot and shapr and do the hokey pokey to add stippling and texture where necessary
>add more stippling because...
>sights suck. add after market sights
>slide release sucks. add aftermarket
>barrels suck. add aftermarket barrel.
>finish suck. serrations suck. add aftermarket slide

"Hurr. I love my Glock. It's never missed a beat."
Nigger you don't have a Glock. You have a weapon that you built that operates similar to a Glock. You basically spent 3 times the money and a whole bunch of time frankensteining the features you were looking for onto a Glock rather than buy the weapon that had the features you actually fucking want. That's like buying a mini van and then chopping the back off of it because you really wanted a truck.
Glock. Perfection.

other than some future night sights and a stiffer recoil spring for the G20 when feeding bear loads, I really don't understand why you're so triggered.

>>32217111

>have a bone-stock third gen G17
>get better groups than the mall ninjas at the local range with $2,000+ custom builds

Cry some more.

>>32217111
Okay then, what do you recommend as opposed to the g26?

>>32217111
I get the finger grooves, as someone with chubby fingers the chub hangs over the grooves
sights ok
but everything else you can easily deal with? trigger is fine, learn how to use it. plenty of texture on Gen4s, slide release is fine if you dont have girl hands, barrels fine unless you wana shoot lead
I can give you finish, since Gen 4 is inferior to Gen 3

>>32217317
What's wrong with the G26? It's the highest round count with the smallest package available in a double stack subcompact.

>>32217482
New production generation 3 Glocks have the exact same heat treat and finish as generation 4

>>32216987
I'VE SEEN THE EXORCIST ABOUT 167 TIMES, AND KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT

>>32215696

This, I had to choose between gen 3 and 4, and I stuck with gen 3. Newer isn't always better.

>>32215721
Slightly better, same as a g43 trigger, but tacticool mouth breathers will still upgrade them

>>32217317
Get the G27. You can change it out for a 9mm barrel making it a G26. but you can't go the other way.

>>32218350
That's assuming he cares about 40s&w

This is the new shipping case for the Gen 5's.

Glock is fucking done. The gen 3 was the last reliable gun they made.

>>32215624
it comes in white....

I actually like the finger grooves.

Lefty here, had a glock armorer flip the mag release for me. Haven't had any problems.

>>32216046
Just operate the controls with your trigger finger, it's not that hard.

If it's really that difficult for you, get a kit online and DIY or send the gun + kit to your LGS and tell them to do it for like 50 bucks.

>>32219889
Me too. Maybe our hands are sized just right to match them or something but between that, the better grip texture than the gen 3s, and the fact they come with an extra mag makes the gen4s my choice.

>>32216924
This.

>>32215467
Not that anon but I also agree. It's my favorite CC gun

>>32216401
Like a 16 year old noguns would know

>forward serrations
Ya blew it

>>32220152
This is me but at like 2,000+ rounds. Have yet to lube it

>>32218350
>>32218381

OP here, I give zero shits about 40s&w. IMO it's a mediocre compromise between 9mm and 45ACP. If I want a ccw with more power than a 9, then I'd probably just get a 45.

>>32215696
>>32217769
Like how much cheaper and where?

>>32217489
It's still a thick pistol, and the grip is small too. It's funky to hold, but they are accurate for the size.

>>32220152
> Brags about having shot 1k rounds through his Glawk.

Get gud scrub.

>>32217111
I think it's more like buying a regular Mustang or Camaro, replacing the engine, transmission, wheels, tires, and brakes to make it a better Mustang or Camaro. Your analogy is shit anon, you obviously just hate Glocks, and are trying to pretzel some logic to fit your biased narrative.

So why wander into a Glock thread I ask. Some juvenile attempt to twist people's opinions on something that they clearly have fully formed opinions on? Just fuck off anon.

>>32215657
>Front cocking serrations and no finger grooves, as well as some other minor tweaks.

Yes to the removal of finger grooves at least. I think gen III would have been perfect, if they had used the grip from II. As for the serrations, hopefully they make a non tactical, normal slide as an option.

I kinda want one to go along with my G29.

They would look so cute together.
