Glock 19 Gen 5 Review

if there's one thing that glock is proven with their release of the June 5 clock 19 it's that they are the apple of the gun world essentially take a design that is emitted leave very very good make incremental changes and in some case make regressive changes and then market it as revolutionary now in all fairness marketing by its very nature is borderline if not outright hyperbolic so when I saw this picture floating around the interwebs I chuckled to myself at the notion that Glock has raised the bar with their new Gen 5 what they did was create a Gen 4 s and then sold it as a new generation because they know they could and they were right because I was gonna buy this gun I only bought it because I got so many requests from people wanting me to talk about it and I've never had a loss for a reason to buy a new gun and all my years of dating none of my girlfriends ever noticed when I got a haircut they just knew I looked a little cleaner even sexier and more edible but didn't exactly know why this was the case when I first saw the Jim five o'clock nineteen in person it looked leaner cleaner sexy ish because locks aren't exactly sexy to begin with and I didn't quite know why until I took a closer look first there's this in DLC finish they're using on the slide I like it I like it a lot the finish on the previous gen for Glocks were kind of a dud to me they were mix of black grey and a shiness yes the same type of a shiness that plagued my hands and my gun room videos but since people want to shame me and try to pull my black car from my persistent - eNOS I made sure I had the cocoa butter on deck for this video I'm not getting paid for this endorsement but if anyone at Palmer's is watching I'm open to the idea the June 5 end DLC finish is a deeper richer black with just enough Sheen to give it a vibrant appearance without becoming blingy essentially it's a satin black the frame and the slide however are not the same finish the finish on the frame if you can call it a finish is also black but doesn't have the same depth as a slide it creates a contrast that I liked having the slide in frame the same color would be too intense for my eyes I love blacked-out cars but I hate when it's a gloss black or an all matte black I like the slight contrast of satin black and gloss black when paired together much better the same way I like the contrast color of the gin five o'clock after the color of the slide the next thing you notice is the flared magwell personally I've never looked at my gen 3 hour gym for clocks and thought damn clock and a brother get a flared magwell I never really cared but I get it I rather have a slightly flared magwell than not my ability to change magazines doesn't seem noticeably faster but I can't argue with science it's gonna be easier and faster shoving a mag in a flared magwell versus a non flared magwell visually i like it because it gives a Glock a touch of definition that gives the gun an extra bit of presence along with the flared magwell glock included a frame cut at the bottom of the grip an increased floor plate on the bottom of the magazine I'm a little torn about this yes it makes it easier to strip a stubborn magazine that refuses to drop free when I'm doing my fancies superfast high-speed low-drag reloads but I can feel the cut up with my pinky and it kind of irritates me because it interrupts with the consistency of the grip it isn't a big deal but it does inside my OCD enough to notice it I've never had a problem stripping a magazine from any of the older Glocks so I likely go without it if I could just like the flare magazine well the cutout definitely doesn't make it harder to strip a magazine so I won't go so far as to say I don't lie get but to my pinky it's a minor annoyance speaking of magazines this is where things get a little interesting so not too long ago Magpul came out with their version of the Glock magazine distinguishing itself by having an orange follower versus the customary black follower on OAM Glock magazines I liked the PMAG Glock magazines but I liked the OEM versions better nonetheless I find it funny that Magpul came out with their version of the Glock mag with the orange follower and now Glock comes out with the new version of their own mag with the Glock follower that's orange it's like Magpul and Glock or playing game of tactical horse and it's mildly funny either way there's nothing proprietary about the Jim five magazines all previous generation mags will work as well as the Magpul max I really don't want to do this but I have to get Glock props for listening to their customers by removing the finger grooves personally I have hands that are slightly bigger than that of hobbits so the finger grooves on previous generations work perfectly with my hands however I constantly hear people complaining about the finger grooves because their fingers end up sitting on top of the ridges of the grooves instead of the grooves themselves so I get it but then I don't because you can always remove finger grooves if you don't like them but you can't exactly put finger grooves back on if you want them so I'm positive the Jim sevens will have finger grooves just less prominent and they'll call that revolutionary in so many words is some marketing block decided to show all the weirdo left-handed shooters of the world some love by making the Glock fully ambidextrous by adding a slide lock to the other side of the gun I write with my left hand but I shoot with my right so it made no difference to me or so I thought I always had a problem finding the slide lock when I was trying to use it as a slide release and I didn't want to add an extension to the slide lock as I have a tendency to ride the slide lock causing my gun to not like back on the last shot also sometimes trying to drop the slide using the slide release was a [ __ ] as some guns required a ton of pressure before disengaging I remember when there was a time where a polygonal rifling was all the rage Glock boasted about their polygonal barrels like they were forwards and inside of Mount Olympus with the gin five they switched to a more traditional rifling which makes you scratch your head and wonder it's a marketing again they say it's more accurate I did all my shooting with this gun on steel because I'm basic and I like noise oh I can't say that I saw improve accuracy either way still makes me scratch my head a little bit okay at this point I'm just delaying the inevitable so what is the trigger like if I'm gonna go purely based on how it deals when I draw a fire it feels like the internals are sitting in a batch of pig grease it's just squishy the stock triggers on previous generations were not that bad and sometimes she found some that were really good no I was all ready to just throw the Glock gen-5 trigger under the bus and then I shot it and then I shot it again to make sure that what I was feeling wasn't a fluke and it wasn't when I Drive fired the gin.5 I legitimately hated the trigger but when I actually shot the gun I dare say I really liked it it's not my ideal type of trigger but if I had to live with it I wouldn't complain it still doesn't have a solid wall still doesn't have a super crisp brake but it's definitely a lot smoother and it's noticeable when you're life I earn it in conclusion the gym five clock is not revolutionary I repeat it is not revolutionary if you don't own a Glock and money isn't an issue and you want to know what Glock to buy I'd say grab a Gen 5 if you have multiple blocks and you want to know if it's worth getting the Jin 5 yes if you're a tactical hype beast that just has to have the latest or if you absolutely can't stand finger glues on previous generations if you have a clock already and you're not a tactical hype piece you really honestly don't have a reason to get to Gen 5 you'll be just fine with all the previous generations before you go I want to tell you about
