that's just carbon on the slide, that new finish is durable as any
whatever finish glock puts on slide locks is gone the first time you holster it though.

>>35018624
Just at first glance that finish looks terribly similar to the Gen 3 finish which was about as grippable as a stick of warm butter.

Also I actually like the finger grooves.

>>35018624
How is it? I really love my Gen 4 19. I'm torn between picking up another Glock 19 Gen 5 or going for a 17.

I'm probably an outlier but I actually like the finger grooves.

What I mean is, if you get a little bit of sweat on your hands then racking the slide of the gen 3 is fucking impossible, the gen 4s have a great sandpapery finish that Ive never had an issue with.

so how the gen5 finish?

>>35018676
I haven't had that issue with mine. I put the OEM extended slide release on mine. The finish on it in the slide wears away, from where it catches, and I do use it as a release, but the face of mine is still pretty much perfect after 3 years. I do a hybrid holster with mine though, DESU I don't know if leather or kydex is harder on finishes.

leather eats finish, kydex barely touches it.

I don't have any gen 3's, but compared to other guns I've used a bit like M&P's I slip on my gen4 g26 pretty often if I'm trying to cycle it when then action is closed.

That looks like shit desu and I'm not trying to be a dick. Whatever Glock stopped putting on the finish from Gen 3 was a huge mistake. My gen 3 that I've been carrying and using for 10 years, still looks outstanding and the slide release looks like yours after years of carry. They need to unfuck themselves

>>35018951

The MOS is not a solid enough attachment, because of the plate in between the optic and the slide. You need to re-tighten the screws frequently to keep the RMR from flying off. Fuck all that.

Also, every time I go in they have like 4-5 working the counter and 3-4 or those people are grabassing and can't be bothered to help you, so maybe their prices could come down if they fired some faggots to bring their overhead down.

I bought a G17 last year and by my 2nd trip to the range the slide catch was already showing extreme wear on the slide release. every Glawk i have seen the slide release has it's finish worn off to the point were they sometimes look silver. aftermarket ones seen to hold up better

I don't think so. It's not an issue of grabbing it he's having an issue of his greasy skin sliding off it thus needing serrations. Bigger hands wouldn't help him if his skin is greasy/slick.

He thinks a functional part of the gun that sacrifices aesthetics is the same as completely overlooking extra plastic that exists for no reason other than them forgetting to match the frame mold shape to the shape of the slide.

Nothing is "important" about it, it just looks better. But I'm sure it's much cheaper for Glock to laser it on than to roll it on.

>>35020259
It's for pulling a mag out if it gets stuck

>>35020259
It is. I'm not going to bother to look it up, but it was probably one of the requirements from the FBI and they kept it because they aren't going to make another mold. I haven't held the gen5 g19, but I'm worried it's going to be annoying and scrape my pinky.

Not true at all. I've had mine for a year as a carry gun and the finish is looking like the day I got it.

>>35020448
Glock just looks at what people do to customize their Glocks and adds it to the design. The finger grooves came in because people would put shit like pachmayr grips on. Then people would dremel off the finger grooves so they took them away. All this time Glock couldn't figure out that it's just that the people that buy their guns are retards.

I have a g26, in a MTAC holster that gets carried probably 1/3 of the year, and shot about once a month. I have had it for like 3 years, and the face of my (oem extended) slide release is practically pristine. I'd expect the finish to get worn away after a while, but not in a gun that's only been publicly released for less than 24 hours.

I've been very concerned about just that, but haven't seen it touched on any of the reviews so far. I probably won't go to the range/shop for another week to see for myself.

>>35023383
I fingered one, not shot.
The 17, it's a none issue because the grip is long enough.
The 19, it's right under the pinky and it was distracting feeling. It also takes away the lip on the bottom front of the grip that kind of helped a little to lock the hand into the grip.

It's fine on the 17 but a huge mistake on the 19.

>>35023525
That's what it was looking like. I avoided Glock for the longest time because I'm a hipster, but got a g26 and was kind of pissed for what I was missing in the cheap polymer gun sector. I wanted to get the rest of the 9mm line over time. I might start with the gen5 17 and then get a gen 4 19, because the grooves don't really bother me. I might make that 19 into a tacticool RMR TiN barrel abortion.

>>35020445
This is why glocks have never been, and never will be, suitable for self-defense or combat purposes. Ejection patterns have always been consistently shit. This was not rectified with the gen 4's (it actually got worse), and I doubt it will improve with the gen 5 series. Time will tell. In the meantime, 99% of glocks in circulation are good for nothing more than overpriced range toys.

>>35022669
Likewise on this issue. If it's really THAT bad, there will be an aftermarket fix for it, no doubt. I will be getting at 17 at LEAST. Probably the rest of the 9mm and 10mm variants as they come out. Other than that. I will stick with the current gen 3's I have for the time being!

I'll wait for the glock gen5 gen2.
You know, until they work out the problems like the gen4.

Then I'll probably get a 34 cut for an RMR

Are you crazy??? It raises the bar so fucking high, we already cannot see it it must be orbiting your anus.

This gen 5 Glock does absolutely nothing a gen 4 or gen 3 Glock didn't already do. Ambidextrous slide release? No one fucking cares. New finish? No one asked for it. Sniper barrel? Snake oil. Flared magazine well? Glocks were famous for their slim profile making them perfect for carry - the flared magazine well makes the gun print more, also it makes existing 3rd party mag wells (that are better) incompatible. More choice of sights from the factory? No one fucking cares. Everyone just wanted plain three dot metal sights. If people want better they'll buy third party tritium, fiberoptics or whatnot sights.

What people wanted was a real Picatinny rail instead of that shitty Glock accessory rail. They wanted metal sights. They wanted a trigger with less grit. They wanted an ambidextrous mag release. They wanted all that while keeping the Glock's slim shape.

>>35019847

$500+ polymer pistol with millions of units going into production and they couldn't chamfer a corner of a '5th' generation gun. If they overlooked some little piece like that what else did they overlook?

You'll probably respond with

>Glock literally demonstrated that they didn't cut corners tho, bruh.

>>35028595
To me it looks like Glock had been tinkering with gen5 ideas, than had to cobble something together real quick to meet the FBI criteria. I was honestly surprised that the reveal was in fact gen5 and was basically the FBI guns. I figured the reveal was going to be the FBI guns, but I would have thought they would have just left them as model M. I do hope they do a gen 5.5 and work out the kinks like the lack of the nose of the frame matching the rounding of the front, getting rid of the fucking mag cutout on the 19 (wtf were they thinking), and whatever other issues get discovered over the next couple of months. All in all, I think the gen 5 was a pretty low effort attempt by Glock, and I like Glock.

>>35028387
I've owned the following Glocks:

26, 19(x3), 17
27
36
29, 40

I've never had a problem with a Glock 19. However, the 36 was a jam-o-matic piece of shit that they even got sued over though they never admitted a problem like they should have. The Glock 17 had a 6 o'clock hold for some unknown reason. I got tight groups but all high and when I called them they basically said it was my fault. The 27 was fine after I put a pinky extender on it. Not a defect just a difficult to hold onto design using a 2 finger grip.

So anyway, point is, the Glocks have issues like any other brand (although still better than S&W's non-existent quality control).

>>35028526
They also redesigned the internals and gave it a better trigger. You left all that out though.

No we fucking don't. That shit is ugly and serves no purpose over the glock rail. Everyone who makes attachments makes them for glocks.

Wish granted. That's an option now. You can still get the plastic sights if you just want to replace them.

>They wanted a trigger with less grit.

Wish granted.

>They wanted an ambidextrous mag release.

Wish granted since gen 4.

>They wanted all that while keeping the Glock's slim shape.

Only real criticism. The flared magwell and cutouts are both retarded changes.

>>35027427
They're lighter weight and more compact than any guns of the same capacity (glock 43 and 42 excluded). This makes them ideal carry guns.

>>35018638
At my LGS the blue label price for a Gen5 19 with night sights is $455. Should I jump on it or wait?

>>35032237

>>35032237
If you want those night sights, that's a good deal. If you plan on changing them, I'd pass and get the stock one for like $400.

I went to the gun store and dry fired one.
That's as much proof as you're going to get from me.

If your citizens can't carry, I think it's a great thing that cops don't get special rules. You know, since they are still just citizens.

You're going to have to revise all of that if Frau Merkel keeps sponsoring her own fucking barbarian migration through your front yard. You know that. Right?

Nothing against people liking them. I'm making fun of Glock's refusal to innovate and marketing tiny improvements as a new generation. I'll stick with my stock LEO trade in Gen 2 G19 that I got for $300. $600 for a gun that doesn't have any real improvements over what I have already?

No thanks.

Eh, Glocks really don't need to change all that much. They were mostly fine in gen 1. They've done the incremental improvements required, and at least made an attempt to keep up with trends. I don't think they are behind the curve in innovation. They are however, behind the curve in value. If Glock did nothing else but lower their MSRP by 10-20%, they'd be incredible.
