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

It looks like just a slightly taller front. My 17.5 did fine with standard defoors, so I don’t know what to make of it.

My Defoors are POA/POI at 25 as well. I keep seeing talk of needing a taller front, but yet to hear a definitive answer on it. Curious what impact different ammo is having

When I called them to inquire they said "it's because the 5th gens are shipping with a taller front" whether that's true or not in have no idea.

Mine has the same height front sight as all previous Glocks.

I ordered a set of defoors to toss on it. I'll confirm poa poi with them and then get the same sized Dawson's.

All three of the Gen5 19s I put 10-8 rears on needed a .250" front for a drive the dot sight picture at 25 yards with 124.

I put another 50 rounds of 124 grain AE and 25 rounds of 147 grain HST through my 17.5. Feeding continues to be flawless as I approach 600 rounds without cleaning. There were 2 BTFs this time; both with the AE and both on the last round of the magazine.

As for accuracy, I fired it next to one of my VP9s. The 17.5 has Amerigo Spartan Operator sights and the VP9 Trijicon HDs. I fired 10 rounds of 147 grain HST through each off hand at the -0 head of an IDPA target from 25 yards. The 17.5 was 10/10 and the VP9 was 9/10.

Didn't think anything could pry the G34's from his hands.

These days, shooting stock guns is like shooting a custom one in times past!
