I kind of want one of these. How does the trigger compare to a well broken in Gen5 Glock?

I haven't really messed with any Gen 5 guns yet. Is the trigger much different between the 5 and the previous gens?

Once the Gen5 guns break in, there’s almost no wall and you get a smooth rolling break. The wall is present enough that if you concentrate you can still take the slack out.

That's because Glock has changed the firing pin block from the round flat pin to more of a triangular shaped wedge?

Thats what changed the way the 5th Gen triggers feel compared to previous gens. I like the 5th Gen trigger a alot, but I like 4th gen triggers just as well once broken in.

Well nothing to report about yesterdays training session with the MR. 645 rounds fired, and nothing other than plain ole boring reliability. To date I have just over 900 rounds through my MR918 with out any failures. Several folks got to shoot it yesterday and all remarked on how much they liked the way the pistol shot. One thing to note, this pistol didn't get very dirty during the 900 plus rounds. I have not cleaned it since new, and last night was the first time I finally gave it a cleaning.
I took the pistol down, and just wiped off the major components, to look for any abnormal wear patterns or issues. The images below are from just a general wipe down, not a thorough cleaning. That came after the pics. Everything looked normal, and there was very little wear, At least no more than your average Gen 5 gun. At this point the MR has proven GTG so I have placed it into my On/Off duty carry rotation. I'll continue to monitor it's progression and if anything develops I'll report. I am extremely impressed and very happy with the performance displayed by the MR918.

Thanks for the update. What's next?
One thing I'm a little curious about is reliability with a light attached. Sometimes the extra weight on the frame can cause cycling issues. Kind of the opposite of limp wrist where the slide velocity is increased due to the additional mass.
I have a duty holster for a G19 with light. Maybe I'll get it mounted to a belt and play with the gun in that configuration for a few days. See if anything funky happens with a TLR-1 mounted up.
