Chris Bartocci review of the 19X, he shows in the video the frames of the Gen 4 & 19X and stated the 19X had a coating on the triggerbar mentioning it seems to help in the press. Around the 11:42 mark of the video stating it’s the Military finish.
I purchased a Gen 5 Glock 34 and a 19 last week. Haven’t shot it but theylooks great. Installed FBI mag releases and AmeriGlo’s without issue and put a - connector in the 19.
One issue I found is that the mags were not dropping free from the 19 and were also hard to insert. On closer inspection I found that the very front lip of the magazines was defective. It appears that when they molded it/bonded the plastic to the metal there was a little over molded area at the tip. 30 seconds a magazine with a nail file and they were perfect.

I think it’s Part #8794 for the Extended magazine release. I believe the “extended” Gen 4/5 release is the same as the FBI magazine release. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. I got 2 “FBI” releases from an armorer and they are marked “8794”.
I’ve read that the actual FBI release part number is #8217 but I have not been able to verify that.
It’s available from Glockmeister and Midway.

Thanks so much!
just put a .180 tall x .125 wide front on one of my Gen 5 G-19's. Gonna hit the range this weekend to see how it prints for me. Hopefully it will be my preferred "drive the dot" hold. I did grind off the left side slide release (right handed here), that helps with holster fit.
I received three G5 7TS series holsters from HolsterOps, and all fit their respective pistols. One was a 7TS for the 17, another for the 34 with a light and that is quite versatile in that it fits 19/17/34 with and without a light, and a model that fits up to a 34 with an optic and with or without a light. I tried G5 34 with the DO Pro and RMS Shield, and they fit fine.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I didn’t see the answer to this in a quick search of the thread (I’m sure it’s here somewhere) - Gen5 mags are fully backwards compatible, right?
Yes. Not 19x though because new baseplate interferes with new lip of mag well in front.
