Just to clarify @Tom_Jones, the SCD currently for sale is not verified to work with a Gen 5 Glock?
ETA: A Glock 19 w SCD is on my short list of future options.

Great, thanks. Sorry I missed that one.
So the gadget mastermind will need to buy the new Gen 5, then develop a prototype, then test it, then produce it- which of course means it will be ready soonJust thinking for a friend- if the SCD is essential for someone on the fence between a Gen 4 today or a Gen 5 there would be a definite wait. Tom's answer could get me off the couch this weekend- then again the family is out of town so maybe not!

I bought a mound of Gen4 guns and personally they work very, very well for me. The 19G4 in particular is probably my perfect gun. I am not going to switch, and I think recent gun history shows us that it's better to let things be on the market for a few years before jumping in.
I'm kinda hoping Gen5s end up reducing Gen3 and Gen4 prices so I can snag a few more cheap Glocks for when I feel like playing with other calibers.
I really need to grab gadgets for my 19 and 26. Keep forgetting on payday.

I just really got into Glocks seriously and I went Gen3 long slides and G43s.
I'm definitely intrigued with the Gen 5 and would likely not have the willpower to leave one at the gunshop if they happened to have a 17.5 when I was there...
Some years ago, I picked up a Gen4 G17 really cheap in a trade. Unlike most Gen4's in my experience, it suffered from mediocre accuracy. It also had the dreaded variable ejection pattern with intermittent BTF, and had a lousy trigger. Not as good a deal as I thought! Over time, I kept messing with it, and, since I have tons of Glock parts, it became sort of a shop mule. Ultimately, I got the right mix of extractor parts in it to fix the ejection problem, put in an Apex Gen3 trigger, Vogel Dynamics sights and a Wilson barrel. The gun ended up shooting so well that I decided to bag the finger grooves and now I'm happy with it. I'm keeping an open mind regarding the Gen5, but it will have to be really great to replace this one.
Wow, I really like the looks of that grip texture.Some years ago, I picked up a Gen4 G17 really cheap in a trade. Unlike most Gen4's in my experience, it suffered from mediocre accuracy.

SteveB, what are your thoughts on the Wilson barrel? Is it finicky with certain ammo, any feeding problems, just your general thought on the barrel if you wouldn't mind. I've heard the only barrel worth sticking in a Glock is a Barsto barrel but they're freaking expensive!
