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

[GJM]

I know of one instance where a friend broke the TRS with very few rounds through one of the early Gen 5 guns. However, shockingly his carry optics gun, a Gen 4 34 MOS, which he has many 1000s of rounds through, has never broken his Delta Point. So, he’s an enigma.

I heard some scuttlebutt that Leupold had a run of bad circuit boards a year or so ago, which could explain my experience of breaking nine Pros between Sept 2017 and May 2018, and my buddy breaking eight Pros, in 80,000 rounds of shooting in 2018.

Have you shot an MP 2.0 Compact Rich?

Yes. A rental gun that was among the three that a friend of mine picked to try out during her range day. Very nice shooter.

Gents, I’ve flipped through about 50 pages of this thread so far and all I’ve found so far showing 25yd+ accuracy is some of MRS GJM shooting 5 shots into a head box(which looked really good).

Can someone point me to some more 25yd+ accuracy data on the Gen 5?

Thanks!

There is a small chart at www.handgunsmag.com.

Bearing in mind I suck, this is the best I have done; 82-2X.

19.5 MOS ......
Oh Richie boy, The dots... the dots.., are call’in, .....

Yeah, I get it, but...but...geez a optic is like the same price as the gun lol...

Grrrrrr...you guys are going to make me go to the Toy Store now...

But seriously a G19 is about perfect, grip length wise, for me. My size M hands cover about 95% of the grip length and I don’t need / am not looking for more mag capacity. And anyway I have a zillion G19 mags.

And, a second carry G19 while I dedicate BEYnxxx to dry practice and match use seems pretty attractive to me.

I’m trying to avoid buying ‘any more guns’ until I make B class in USPSA (at least, any new types). I considered a G34, a G17 (which to me, is like what a G34 is to size L hands), a G43 (I Carry the G26 now, and don’t see the point) and even a G42 (but I have a pocket carry LCR, and I need another Calibre like a hole in the head.)

Hence...Glock 19.

I think your reasoning is sound, Rich. Just a minor point...you don't HAVE to put a dot on an MOS, but it leaves the option open.

Thanks Chuck.

A G19.5 is $425, a MOS is $489.50, from what I can see, as the GSSF Coupon prices. Hmm.

Aside from being milled for an optic, are there *any* other differences between a MOS and non-MOS G19?

Agreed. You don’t need to put a dot on it right away. But it gives you the option to add one later. Before I would have suggested just having a dot direct milled, but since the Acro was announced and the MOS mounting thread I’m thinking having the option there now isn’t a horrible idea.

I think the rear sight dovetail is a little further back to accommodate the mounting plate. I'm sure others can suss out any other ones.

The rear sight notch is further back to accommodate the optics cut, the MOS has front cocking serrations and does not have the gen 2 style front cut out of the mag well.
