"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
Finally getting my first Gen5, I had previously ordered a G45 but had to cancel the order.
Getting a G19.5 with Ameriglo Bold sights, front serrations, and no little half-moon cutout on the grip.
Pretty excited to have a G19 back in the fold.
I mostly live in M2.0 world these days, so this wasn't a need purchase, just a want purchase. I'd like to see how I shoot with the Gen 5 barrel + trigger

Did you order that or find it at a LGS? I’ve been lazily looking for one to go with my 19.4 and 45. I only have 431 rounds through my 45 but I like it a lot.

I had a bit of free time over Christmas so I decided to get some dry fire reps in with my carry G19X. Unloaded the gun and threw in a snap cap just cause. First trigger pull was pure crunch and felt awful. I just dry fired and shot it last week and all felt normal (I think). Did a few more reps and it started to get better but not by much. I immediately decided to do a thorough detail strip and cleaning since I am close to 5k on this one. Stripped the frame and cleaned out all the gunk and reassembled. Noticed a bit of flaking on the trigger bar and polished it out a bit. I then detail stripped and cleaned the slide.
Reassembled the weapon but I could still feel a noticeable hitch before the break. Plus it lost that "roll" I normally get on my other Gen 5 guns. Broke the frame down again today and decided to try replacing parts to get it back to normal. First I switched my slide to a frame that I know "feels" right, So That ruled out any of the slide parts. I then jumped into the frame with basically a complete frame parts kit hoping to chase down the offending part. I got lucky I think and only swapped out the trigger bar first and reassembled. so far at about 100 dry fire reps through out the day today it feels like it did when I first bought it.
My training 19X has probably 7-8k on it and almost never cleaned and it's trigger is still just like it was from the factory with a smooth roll into the break as well as both of my G45's. I guess it's the luck of the draw type of situation on the plating. I love that I can fix damn near everything on Glock's on the cheap and easily (cost me $9.00 for the Gen 5 trigger bar.) The fact that it can happen kinda bums me out though. Ordered a few more spare parts today... just in case and still only ran me less than $50.00 shipped.

^That mirrors my experience with Glock going back 20 years to Gen5.
The triggers go to shit sooner than later and the gun basically needs rebuilt to fix it.
Throwing $25 at each gun every 5000 or so rounds to keep an ideal trigger pull feels like scheduled maintenance, not a rebuild.

I guess that's the beauty of a cheap gun with cheap parts!
I've been wondering about the expected lifespan of the connector. Sure, I've never heard of one breaking, but it is a spring, and it is flexed every time the slide is cycled. Duing Glock armorer courses, is there any mention of connector lifespan?
I still think there would be a strong market in DLC treated OEM Glock parts...
