Had my hands on these, Gen 5 Glocks in .40 caliber. The caliber is 'meh' to me, but these are interesting changes for the platform.
Gen 5 pistols, G19 and G23
Gen 4 G19 and G23 slides.
The line up of Gen 5 pistols in .40SW.

So, are these "45" size slides, or something in between the "standard" slide and the widebody?
Thanks.
The heavier “Brazilian” slide is the 40 they should have made 30 years ago.
If it’s like the Brazilian guns it is the .45 GAP size slide.Originally Posted by psalms144.1
It looks like they have the lower edge slide bevel, too.

These look like good changes, can’t wait to shoot one. I wonder what the holster makers have to say about compatibility — would a .40 holster with a tension screw accommodate a 9mm Gen 5, or will it need a whole different holster?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
With the beefier slide we may see a 31.5, 32.5 and 33.5, maybe?

It looks like they copied the HK VP40

They have been doing if for years with the 45Gap Guns. But then again hk did it to the extreme with the P7M10. Its copy cats all the way down.It looks like they copied the HK VP40
Weight?
Might make a 40 Glock shootable.
If it is a Gap slide no compatability to gen 4 or 9mm. (Holsters)
