Today:  The New Glock 19 Gen 5 Review. Good new gun, with features that make it feel like the older models but updated internals that should make more robust and nicer to shoot.  I like it.

Outline:

Thoughts on the Glock 19 Gen 5

Trigger:

• Loved shooting if from Reset
• Don’t like the first trigger pull
• Felt like shooting a DA/SA Gun

Look:

• Like the new pointed front
• Love the no finger grooves
• Want a trigger guard undercut
• Like the checkering

Feel

• Like the Texturing
• Don’t like the front cut on the grip to get the magazine out if you need to
• Balanced the same as a Glock 19
• All the controls feel the same
• New Ambi Slide Stop seems to work very well as a stop and release
• My Wife said it has the easiest slide to pull back of all the guns she’s fired (she’s limited to the guns in my safe)

What Glock Updated:

• No Finger Grooves
• Different Barrel Design
  • New Rifling
  • Recessed Crown
• New Finish
• Flared Mag Well
• Ambi Slide Stop
• Coiled Springs over Leaf
  • On the slide Stop
  • Take Down Latch
• Striker
• Extractor
• Slide Cover rear Plate
• Striker Hole
• All Trigger Parts
  • Striker Block Safety Plunger
  • Trigger Bar for New Safety
  • Trigger Reset Spring
