*THE* Gen 5 Glock thread: First Impressions, Reviews and Thoughts

[Texaspoff]

There was no flaking where the trigger bar rubs on the slide stop, and there is plenty of clearance there.

I lubed that spot after the trigger got bad before and after the plating and it made no difference.

I always run a pistol pretty hard as I train for about an hour and put 3-400 rounds down range. The last 2K rounds I put through those 19s was basically trouble shooting and irritating. I primarily carry a 43, the 19 was mostly a range/match gun that I could carry and had training carryover with my carry.

No clue then. I will keep an eye out and see if I can induce this issue at some point, but so far I have no complaints about the 5.

I spoke to HolsterOps today, and all the 7TS Glock holsters in their inventory are Gen 5 compatible.

DP Pro on my G5 34 went TU today — wandering zero. I have lost track of how many I have broken. RMS Shield arrives tomorrow.

Have tried the RMR Gen 2?

I was think about picking one up for my Gen 5 34.

GJM I am astonished at the amount of DP Pros you have gone through. I would think they would have figured it out by now. Great RMR qualities except reliability.

I had to turn my DP Pro on a number of times during a class over the weekend. Good luck on the Shield, it didn't do to well when Aaron Cowan tested it, but he is a little hard on things.

I don’t think the RMR is a good gaming optic, as the display is rather small, curved and tinted compared to the DP Pro.

I am also astonished, and it is the reason I have nine, so I can keep my wife and I with primary and spares.

Other fiends have gone to turning it off after every stage, and on at make ready. I think the accelerometers are failing across the fleet of them. I don’t plan on using it as a hammer, but I will not baby it.

Hi guys,

The Danish Army is testing a 17 Gen 5 with front serrations (among other candidates):

Would be a superb replacement for the Neuhausen M49 currently in Danish service.

Indeed ! All northern european countries use the 17, it would be quite logical.
