What The Heck is Wrong With Glock 19 Gen 5???
- Thread starter OttoMan
- Start date
I prefer my previous generation Glocks to the Gen 5's. I dont know why
I’ll take a couple of Gen. 3’s
He made 200.00 off of you.. that’s whyAll of you, experts in Glocks, what the hell is going on?
Everybody that buys the new Glock 19 Gen 5, they are selling it right about when they live the store! Don't even try it ...
Just today, I have seen maybe THREE adds here on ODT.
Very interesting... I bought one from a great guy here on ODT, and he sold me his one almost after leaving the store... NEVER shot it, but didn't like it...
You guys that are giving up on your brand new ones, tell us, What the hell is going on?

No, he didn't. I have the receipt from the purchase, $598.46 (Including taxes...) - Very good deal!!!
For one it's plastic. PLASTIC! Steel is for guns. Plastic is for city slickers one beer away from taking a draw off one. ONE being a long flesh colored cylinder.

You spelled infection wrong.
Correct. The correct spelling is ( plastic ).

My $.02, and not in a sarcastic pot stirring tone. A legitimate observation of why.
The Gen 5 slide finish is similar to having some clp or other oil on your hand and trying to rack the slide, while it’s a very nice finish, it is extremely slippery even with a dry hand.
For the previous generations you either got a 17 or a 19 as the only two options for duty size (not including 17L and 34) either getting capacity at the cost of length or compactness at the cost of capacity. Now with the Gen 5 you can have a Glock 45/19x and that’s the happy medium everyone always wanted, so no more compromise.
I gave up my 19 for a 19x since I got best of both. However the 19x is considered a Gen 4.5
I am an outlier it seems, as I prefer no finger grooves, that’s another denominator in the Gen 3/4 vs Gen 5, once again the 19x fit that preference for me.
The 19x shoots and feels like a 34, but handles like a 19. They accomplished that with the tighter lockup on the barrel to slide, better barrel with recessed target crown, and a 1/4in longer recoil spring assembly than the normal 19’s. If you haven’t shot one, you should.
I neither love or hate the Glocks. I’ve wanted to like them since their inception. And yes, I’m old enough to remember the gun world before Glocks. Everyone I’ve owned/shot pinched my hand between the thumb and forefinger until I eventually got a blister. Now, I do have small fat hands and maybe that’s why. Don’t know. I do know waiting on that sharp pain as you’re squeezing the trigger effects your accuracy and is just plain stupid. Maybe the Gen5 is even worse than previous models.
