Glock Gen5 40S&W New Release

[HCM]

Yes, just tried it. The 9 vs 40 ejector difference is the same as the gen 1-4, 9mm has a slight crook and 40 is straight, simple swap of the gen5 ejector housings would fix that. I am going to order the .40 G5 ejector housing and see how this combo shoots.

Thanks for checking. Is the .40 locking block the same part number as on the G45?

both locking blocks are the 7849-1, same part.

I just swapped the entire trigger groups between the 45 and 23.5 to get the right ejector in place, and will take it to the range with me tomorrow and run a mag through it.

The ONLY part that is different in the entire lower between gen 5-40 and gen 5-9 is the ejector itself, the trigger housings are the same except for that metal sliver in the trigger housing that is the ejector.

Glad you brought this up, I am sorta digging the full size frame on the 23.5 upper and shooting it will tell. Biproduct of the swaps is I have a simple 19.5 MOS sitting next to the new hybrid.

Glock Legos are fun.

Damn it you guys are going to cost me money…

Let's name it and maybe we can get Glock to introduce it. I was thinking Glock 55?

What are we up to? 49?

Loaded with Lehigh or Hornady Critical Duty that's a field pistol.

Along with an Acro P2. Need a Safariland RDS holster released for the G5 40.

I have the ammo, now all I need is the P2 and a G5 23 to put together a new field pistol concept.

On topic, if my 26.5 that’s at Battlewerx being milled for a RMRcc all the way back works out well, I’ll probably send my 27.5 to have the same thing done for my RMR (since it’s wider) and get an Acro P-2 for the 19.5 instead.

Ran 60 rounds through that configuration today, no issues at all.

The only thing keeping Glock from offering a .40 cal version of the G45 is the decision to do so and a rollmark on the slide for whatever they would call it. I will convert mine back this evening, I moved the whole trigger group from the G23.5 so as to have a .40 extractor in place, but a for sure viable configuration if you do that.

Did the full size handle make any appreciable difference in the handling of this hybrid vs the G23.5?

Not for me, I did not run any standards drills to measure it, just shot our plate racks, but normally when given the choice between G19 and G17 for some reason I perform a tiny bit better with the G19....its what I choose for GSSF

my grip is high and my hand size is one where that extra length does not seem to make any difference in 9mm, my perception was the same for gen 5 .40, I see nothing in terms of recoil management or shot to shot recovery that would matter to me

15+1 Vs 13+1 is the only reason I would care about the longer grip

Really tempted to send my Glock 35 off to Maple Leaf now....
