Sometimes that is a contract requirement.Originally Posted by tcba_joe
Geissele was until recently prohibited by contract from selling the 10” Mk4 rail they made for the FBI duty guns. Apparently there has been a small change to the GKV rails and Geissele got a waiver to sell the blems.
The commercial 19x did lack the manual safety. Glock has never sold manual safety guns commercial only to LE/Gov customers who mandated them.

Well I’m down for one. Made a phone call to my distributor and he’s going to see what he can do.
I’d give my left nut for a 19M. I hope the 17M sales well enough they do a run of 19Ms next.
Why is that? I'm not bagging on you, I just genuinely don't understand.
Don't get me wrong. I love Glocks, in very much the same way I love Toyota Camrys. I'd never give my left nut for a rare variant of a Toyo Camry.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
The barrel IS PVD coated already.

I'm curious too. Do the internal coatings really make a significant difference/advantage over the presumably non-treated commercial Gen5s? What are the bennie's, real or supposed? BBI, since you've got both, interested in your take on this. Best, Jon
Just a figure of speech my man. However, I wouldn't mind owning a 19M for a reasonable price. I find the gen5 line the best of all the Glocks I've run, gen2 through 5. The Glock 19 is the most versatile pistol for me and my personal choice. I'd like to try the DLC coating. And just like the 19X I purchased, I think it would be cool to own a 19M.
I don't actually own a Gen 5. I have two "M" models. I've shot a friend's Gen 5 at the range and whatever difference there is between the trigger feel on the two is too minute for me to detect. However I know of 0 issues with triggers galling or getting worse with round counts on the "M" models like folks have complained about on the 5s. Perhaps it's more of a durability thing?
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
You know how a certain percentage of Glock internals have the finish flake off or develop a crunchy trigger after a few Thousand round ? The DLC costed internals don’t have those issues.
The ndlc coated trigger parts improve over time/use while the gen5 parts stay the same or slightly deteriorate if you get flaking. We saw about a 1/2# reduction in trigger weight over the course of 4000 rounds through a large sample size of 19M’s. Generally they start out around 5-5.25 and drop to 4.5-4.75#.
Can anyone give me a list of what parts exactly are nDLC coated on the -M guns that are not coated on the standard Gen5?
