PNWguy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Am leaning heavily towards a G26 or G27 for my next pistol purchase and if the new G26 gen 5 is available in non-black, that may sway my vote over a G27 Gen 4. How about any rumors of any new gen 5s in .40 S&W? I'd ask on DFU (Dumpster Fire Underground; AKA GT) but I avoid the place like the plague.

Quickling Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I wish they would offer a G26 in the same factory colors as the 19x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccabeus Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'm less concerned about color and just wishing I could get through a box of ammo without my G26.5 jamming. And that's after sending it in to Glock for whatever mysterious unspecified repairs they allegedly did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as Gen 5's in 40, 357, 45, and 10mm calibers, I figure Glock has to work out the locking block reinforcement issue, and yet recently Glock has produced a number of what appears to be Gen 5 2-pin G-22's for a Brazilian Police contract.

Wait, keep forgetting this isn't DFU where Glocks never fail and every single issue is the shooter's fault... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing is, I'd be willing to consider operator error based on the nature of the jams that could be symptomatic of limp wristing; however, not only does that fly in the face of my experience on my other 3 Glocks, but I've been using the exact same boxes of ammo to feed my G26.5, G26.3, and G43 and shooting them side by side with only the gen 5 acting up. I wish I could blame it on a FDE paint job, but sadly, all my Glocks are in shades of black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 A year later and I've still not encountered a colored-frame Gen5. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster55 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I recently bought a new Gen 4 G-27 from my LGS and while ordering it for me he asked his source, Davidsons I believe and they said no colored frames in Gen-5 that they know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
