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

[pew_pew]

I’ve been waiting for a non cutout gen 5 19. Maybe I’ll just get a 26 and use those magpul 12 rd mags.

Actually. Didn’t even think about putting a G45 slide on a gen 5 MOS 19. Hmm.

Have they proven reliable?

I have a G26.5 I carry with a Glock 10+2 OEM extension.

I also bought a PMAG 12 rounder to try. There was not a lick of difference between them, shooting, near as I could tell. I gave away the PMAG in a Karma thread here.

Do you have that SKU? My Google-fu is weak.

Only Rainman can make sense of Safariland's SKU's and part numbers. I'm pretty sure it's a running inside joke of some kind.

True. The Holster Ops web site is 1000% more user friendly and their telephonic customer Service is 1,000,000x better than Safariland.

Yeah Safariland's will-fit and holster finder are a joke. Call them directly and talk with them. I have called them several times in the past asking about holster for a new handgun that they were already producing that didn't show up anywhere on their sites.

Did you find the length of the mags inserted to be same size ?

I did not have the PMAG all that long, but as I recall there wasn’t much difference in length between the two, inserted, no.

I usually use 10 rounders and have no experience with the 26.5 to add to Rich's, but I had both out to the range recently with an older 26. They are pretty close...the Magpul is slightly shorter. Some pics from earlier discussion here:
