The Glock 19 Gen 5 makes some great improvements over the last generations. Remember, prior-gen aftermarket triggers will not fit your Gen 5. They’re still the expected GLOCK factory trigger, meaning a lot of people will replace them, myself included. The good news is the triggers seem better in the Gen 5s, too.Īfter running four Gen 5 G19s I can attest with confidence to the lighter triggers and the slightly crisper break. Of course, accuracy is partially dependent on the trigger. It features aggressive rifling – still polygonal – a recessed crown, and promises greater accuracy overall. The GLOCK Marksman barrel is a solid upgrade. Quit putting your hand over the ejection port. Some shooters have complained about this, but here’s the deal: you should be racking the slide from the rear, anyway. So if you were hoping to re-use all of the awesome upgrades you have in your Gen 3-4 for your new Gen 5…think again.Įxternally, there are no forward cocking serrations on the slide. But it does change the landscape of aftermarket options you once had…īasically, the only components the Gen 5 has in common with the previous four generations are the trigger connector, striker spring, striker spring sleeve, and striker spring cups. There is a possibility your old G19 holster will be a bit snug but most likely the Gen 5 will fit well.Ī number of internal changes were made to the Gen 5, none of them really impact you the shooter/owner though. Holstering is meant to be easier with these Gen 5 guns thanks to a somewhat more aggressively tapered slide choosing a holster is as easy as always, too.
The Gen5 disassembles just as GLOCKs always have, requiring you first pull the trigger.
These new-to-the-civilian-market GLOCKs are made for duty use and affordability. The Gen 5 G19 and G17 are versions of the 19M and 17M GLOCKs used by the FBI.
For those who want technical details, this is for you.
