Last Friday, I received a Gen 5 Glock 34 back from JohnnyGlock, who did his custom magic, that resulted in perhaps the best Glock trigger I have felt. I had a match this weekend, and eagerly awaited today, so I could ring it out at the range. I was prepared to make this my new lead CO pistol.
Despite my expectations, by the end of the session, I realized continue to shoot a Gen 4 34 better on the timer, even though this new pistol has a better trigger. My theory is the Gen 4 finger grooves allow me to control the pistol better. I am disappointed as there are a number of things I prefer about the Gen 5 — like the big magwell, forward serrations, accuracy, and vigorous extraction.
