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

[Totem Polar]

Apropos of not much, but, some of these prices I'm hearing here are steep. The place that did the reveal in my area had plastic sight 17s and 19s for $569.

To those with G5s and a trigger pull gauge...can you measure the pull weight in the middle of the trigger where the trigger drop safety pivots? That's where my finger rests when pulling so I'd be interested to see what it measures at that spot as opposed to the bottom of the trigger where the most leverage is. Thanks!

I measure mine from that point and pull a little bit of a slight angle and mine measures consistently right under 5lbs

Is the Vickers floor plate compatible with the Gen5?

Supposedly, it is the same magazine body, but a different follower and floor plate. See about 9:13 in the previously cited Chris Bartocci video where he cites a mold code of 1587-01 on both https://youtu.be/-9erZOL7RCw. So Vickers floor plate would be compatible.

They are the same body. The only change is the color of the follower and the extended floor plate.

I believe hes asking if the base plates interfere with the Gen5 magwell.

Do previous generation magazines work in the Gen5?
Does the SCD still work in the Gen5?
Is anyone worried that the trigger seems to have been redesigned in some way and there is no track record?

I want to be excited but I'm really worried about the answers to the above questions.
