Glock Gen 3 vs Gen 5 25 yard precision testing - AmmoSquared Youtube

[Nephrology]

Their Gen 3 sample held better groups with the 147 American Eagle FMJ and the 147 HST in comparison to the Gen 5.

With 115 gr. Speer Blazer, the Gen 5 held better group than the Gen 3. That ammo has never shot well for me in my Gen 3 19's

Speer Lawman 115 shot an 8 inch group with the Gen 3, and a sub 3 inch group with the Gen 5. This ammo has also never seemed to work well in my Gen 3 19.

Both Speer Blazer & Lawman have always shot like garbage through my Gen 3 and Gen 4 pistols. At first I thought it was me, but I spent a day shooting it back to back with Wolf and American Eagle; both of these were substantially more accurate through my Glocks than the Speer product.

Which I find strange. Isn’t the only difference between Speer Lawman and Federal American Eagle the powder? Or am I WAY off base there?

I have no idea to be honest with you. These were just my vaguely quantitative (mostly qualitative) impressions from some shooting I did a few years ago now. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I am honestly less than impressed with Speer products given their price and reputation.

Interesting. My dedicated practice ammo is Lawman and it prints incredibly good groups with my M&Ps and my Commander 9mm. Never considered the reason I can't shoot a Glock for shit is my ammo choice...

For whatever reason, I find that 115gr Wolf WPA is some of of the most accurate ammo out of my glocks (not necessarily the most consistent). Absolutely no idea why. 147gr HST is the best, but I haven't tested a lot of other JHPs. 147gr AE works well too.

Circa 2014, finding excellent accuracy with 115 Lawman in Gen 3 17 pistols out to 100 yards:

Lawman 147's perform incredibly well out of my Gen 3 Glock 19s.

I had terrible luck with 115gr Lawman, but I would be more than willing to concede that you are better positioned to observe these differences (or not) than I am. 95% of the time, ammunition is not the limiting factor in achieving my accuracy goals.

Interestingly, I did not find the 115 Lawman to shoot well in my Gen 4 Glock 19 pistols, which surprised me after my Gen 3 17 experience.
