You can get them with standard NS or bolds. The bolds hasn’t over the back but it doesn’t hurt anything - they just don’t do witness an optic.
My 17.5 MOS came with bolds because that was the only configuration my blue label dealer had at the time. Looked goofy at first but they have grown on me.
Do all Gen 5 19s have the cutout?
This, I have the smaller magazines that came with my smaller Glocks but purchased quite a few 17 and 33 round magazines.
The 17 round magazines are carried as backup and the 33 round magazines are loaded and available in the doors of my vehicles and they work in any Glock I carry.
I have a 45, and really like it. I would have likely got a 19, but even with small hands that cutout felt weird. No idea if it would have affected actually shooting the gun.
What holsters are you using for the G45?
I put a G45 in my 2014 made 7TS (als but no hood guard or hood) and while it works, the front serrations catch on the way out, and the gun does not "click" into place. It still retains the gun and the als has to be activated to remove it.
Catching serrations was the issue that popped up when I was running 4th Gen 19FS in my 6360s. At the time, I just went back to standard 4th Gen guns to avoid the problem.
When I moved to the G45 I figured it would show up again but I wasn't giving up my G45s period, I was going to find a solution.
Safariland does know about the issue, and said they are working on an upgrade for the ALS for serrations.
What I did to solve the issue was use a piece of industrial strength velco the heavy duty stuff you can get at Home Depot or Lowes, and added it to the ALS lock opposite of the ejection port.
Trim the piece small enough to just fit on the ALS lock. It will be snug at first, but flattens out pretty quick. It creates just enough clearance that the serrations don't hang. The slide only hangs on that side, the ejection port side doesn't exhibit the issues. We have done this mod to a dozen holsters here and have no had a single issue with it.
Piece where the crappy red outline is.....Lol
