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

    True for me. I went back to the OEM connector.
    Doesn't read posts longer than two paragraphs.

    An OEM minus is almost certain to improve a Gen 3/4, but iffy in a Gen 5. A dot connector and a reduced striker spring is the high prob solution for a G5.

    They make all gen triggers mushy. Which is sort of why they help me actually.

    I’ve always tried to stay with Glock connectors but today I tried a couple TTI connectors that I bought a few years ago in 2 G34.5s. I thought they definitely added a harder wall and I swear the overtravel and reset travel seemed to be less. I wish I had a way to measure it to make sure I’m not imagining it.

    Regardless, I planned to only try one and put the minus back in but I ended up installing both and plan to shoot them from now on.

    Someone a lot smarter than me, said non OEM connectors are fine for gaming, but to only use an OEM connector for defense.

    So far with my first Gen5, I have not felt the need to do anything with the trigger. I do have an OEM minus I could throw in there if I felt compelled to do so.

    On another subject: Has anyone tried the new Trijicon Fiber optic sights on a Gen5? They use what looks to be a slightly de-horned HD rear sight, sans tritium and with a narrower notch, and a typical thin fiber front.

    I stripped my Gen 5 19 MOS this weekend for a full detail clean before installing the RMR. In the re-assembly process I installed an OEM Minus Connector I had laying around. The gun had 1,400 rounds on it. I put 100 through it yesterday and between that and some dryfire I think I'm gonna go back. It's lighter, but the overall press has a more defined wall, or rather, it feels like your finger is falling off a cliff when it breaks and it's hard to not punch it down. I see it in the dot and it showed up on a 25yd target too:

The other option is to get a Dremel cutting wheel and simply cut off the right side lever and your GEN five will work in every older Glock holster.
    Question about the 19 Gen 5 width. I see it's 1.34" on the Glock website/Handgun Hero and wonder is that only from the slide release or is the grip wider also?

    I imagine it's with the ambi slide release as mine doesn't feel any wider than my previous gen Glocks, and without any backstrap actually feels thinner.

    Maybe a bit off topic, but after shooting and now owning both a g45,and g19, both MOS pistols, does anyone know if Glock plans on giving the g21 the “gen5” treatment? Primarily, the breechface cut..possibly a MOS model. I’ve had probably around 7-8 g19’s, (gen3-4) 2 g21’s,(both gen4) a gen 4 g17,MOS, In the past, all have had BTF issues, the gen 5 guns with the breechface cut, I own, haven’t, they have strong right hand ejection, I wouldn’t mind a g21 that didn’t throw brass at me..
