JJHNSN Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes, they are real. Yes, they are what I've been waiting for since Gen 2 Glocks. Yes, I bought to Gen 5 Glock 17s today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJHNSN Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) I see there is already a person out there that posted a video of him shoving dirt, sand and mud into a Gen 5 **with no magazine in the magwell** and then showing it fail, and based on this idiocy there are even more idiots declaring the Gen 5 to be a horrible, no good Glock. Of course the highest level of silly is showing up over on GlockTalk. Good grief, what is wrong with people? I guarantee that if you shove dirt, sand and mud. into ANY handgun that has no magazine in the magwell it is going to fail and fail hard.

KFC Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't like the dust cover not being contoured to match the slide chamfering. That's just bad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reading your posts around here, I expected a reply like that. Not to mention the same reply to others on another Glock forum. Are you from Canada or Tennessee? I can't figure out if you're James Yeager or Scott the dick. I bet you talk with a lisp. Edited August 29, 2017 by KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJHNSN Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just heard back from Tony at GT Distributors. They are taking backorders for Gen 5 Glocks. I asked him what the prices were for the 17 with and without Ameriglo sights. Seems fair and reasonable. Given that the Amerigo sights if you buy them yourself are $95, and you have to install them yourself or have somebody else install them, makes sense to me to spend the extra $95 and get them right away, again, assuming you want Ameriglo sights. Hello, The Models with the Ameriglo bold sights are $654 and the standard Glock site model is $559. Thanks. Thank you, Tony Sanchez Customer Service Representative G T Distributors, Inc.

Old Buzzard Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I will wait and see if they are any good when they finally release them. Maybe next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJHNSN Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I am picking up another Gen 5 Glock 17 today and a Gen 5 Glock 19. I kind of dig them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spats McGee Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I handled one a few weeks ago, and kept telling myself "I don't like them sell enough to trade off my Gen 4." I just keep thinking about them, though. Maybe I need to get back out there and fondle handle one again. Then again, if I really like how the Gen 5 feels, maybe I should just look into having the finger grooves removed from my Gen 4 . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJHNSN Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I actually did sell a Gen 4 17 to fund the Gen 5 for the simple reason that I absolutely hate the finger grooves and humps and can't mod the frame on my own well enough, and then would have to send it off and pay somebody else to do it and by the time I did the math on that...it was a no brainer. The other changes also appealed to me, and I got mine with the sight upgrade which was basically what I would have to pay for it myself, etc. So, in my case, the Gen 5 was worth selling my Gen 4 Glock 17. I would see no reason at all to sell it if I liked the finger grooves, etc. That would make no sense. In fact, my Glock 41 MOS is getting custom work done and one of the main things happening to it is: yup, finger grooves removal and a double undercut on the trigger guard.

Borg warner Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The only Gen 5 I like is the G26 and the G19x becase they have no finger grooves and no dumbass mag cut-out either. But then I hate the color of the G19x. Glocks are meant to be black. There needs to be a Gen 6. The Gen 6 would have a different way of reinforcing the locking block after having removed the 3rd pin to allow for an ambi slide release. And the slide release would be made available as left only, right only, or ambi, Also the Gen 6 would be offered in all other calibers in addition to the 9mm and a 40 caliber version of the G19x would be made available and all 40 caliber Glocks would be offered with optional factory 357 Sig and 9mm conversion barrels. Additionally with the Gen 6 Glock should eliminate the "Hump" at the rear of the grip but with the interchangeable backstraps the hump could be made optional for those who actually like it.
