FWIW - I have a few Glock minus connectors and swap them until I find something I like. The minus that came in the G5 G34 was terrible and I was lucky the first one I swapped in worked really well.
I have a few laying around if you guys want to swap and see if something works.
You might check out the Apex Tactical connector. I ordered one on a bit of a whim (I was ordering a flat face trigger, and decided to give the connector a try so I ordered the kit instead of just the trigger) and just installed it in a Gen 5 19 MOS. While it slightly reduces the trigger pull weight and smooths out the trigger pull a bit, its biggest benefit is that it softens up the wall to the point where I would describe it as mild stacking as opposed to a wall. It's a noticeable improvement over the Gen 5 gun with an OEM connector, which in itself is a definite improvement over the previous generation Glocks I've owned.
Both the Apex and factory connector guns have SCDs, and there's no fit/function issues with the SCD in either.
By my own admission, I don’t necessarily like Glock pistols, but I really do respect them.
A gen 5 G17 came into the shop wearing CAP sights and an outline of Georgia with a P in the middle of it, a carried a lot gun that Glock rebuilt. I snagged it in a heart beat.
My pervious experiences have been with mostly G19’s and 23’s, gens 3 and 4, and one G34. Nothing special, and I had to work really hard to hit decently with them, and with the G23 at least, I crushed the grip so much that the factory magazines wouldn’t feed reliably.
The G17 gen 5 has a satisfactory trigger to it, good sights, a stupid easy magwell, and the factory grip doesn’t point noticeably different compared to a G19 for me, which points noticeably different compared to anything else in my hands. I ran Dot Torture with it and scored 48/50 at 5 yards, and 47/50 with my 1911. I was surprised at how it handled and tracked under recoil, given that I haven’t shot one in close to 5 years.
A floodlight just showed up to the house, and it now wears a TLR1HL. It’ll do the job just fine, and much better than pervious generations and smaller framed Glocks for me.
It’ll be my go-to for a bit, given that the optic-ready VP9’s don’t have suppressor height sight sets available, and the white light washes out the dot.
Have to give credit where credit is due.
Looks like a buddy is going to order a 19.5 this week. He won't be able to handle the pistol prior to ordering, so does anyone know the serial number range he needs to be in to make sure he gets one with the breech face cut?
ETA: I emailed the same question to Glock customer service and already got this reply...fekkin pathetic.
Good Afternoon,
I would not have that information available.
Have a Great Day!
Michael

There's a thread on Glock Talk but I haven't waded through it to see how much useful info there is. I know they had a thread on the 26 which gave serial number prefixes. Might try there... Anyway, here's the link as a start:
