Gabe bit the bullet and picked up two G5/17 with Ameriglo sights today. :p
These days, shooting stock guns is like shooting a custom one in times past!
Is there a single side slide release anyone is making yet?
Did anyone answer the ‘are the 10 Round Magazines ok’ question yet?
I missed it if so...
I've been kind of bored. I've been in a rut. Just trying to maintain. Not excited enough to really eke out improvement from where I am now. I'm usually very stable with equipment and stick with what I choose for years. If you gave me a wishlist item to apply to previous Glocks, I'd have asked for more mechanical accuracy. So I have been very interested in the Gen5 Glocks. I don't have any big shooting events coming up over the next couple of months. I have time to explore and build up again. I think it will help me refocus my interest and attention in shooting to change things around just a little bit. So yesterday, with those feelings bubbling under the surface, I grabbed up two Gen5 G17s with the Ameriglo sights.
They are really, really nice - easily the nicest stock iteration of the G17 IMHO. Buttery smooth action, great texture, good mag catch and other controls, I like that they have shored up the slide lock spring, trigger spring, and firing pin safety, the magwell is excellent, the trigger is among the best I have felt on a stock Glock, and the sights are very enjoyable to interact with. It's fun to use night sights again. I shot a few hundred rounds yesterday afternoon and it worked without issue (even with PMAG21s.) Hitting just below top edge at 25 yards with 124gr + P Gold Dot and 147gr HST. When I brought the distance to 7 yards, 1.8x Bill Drills, 1.3x Failures to Stop, and 1.2x/1.3x pairs to the head were falling right out of the gun. It is very attractive to me to have a completely stock gun that I want to shoot as much as my lightly-tuned Gen3 G34s (actually more, at the moment.)
Want to know how I know this was a good purchase for me? After training last night, and I was beat and tired, and got home after an 18 hour day, all I wanted to do was dry fire my Gen5s. :)
Please don't take this as trolling, I am really curious if anybody heard anything if a gen 5 G26 being released? Or should I just suck it up and buy another G19..
