Glock 19 Gen 5

welcome back everybody this is Eric here with Iraq veteran 8888 today we're going to be taking a look at the Gen 5 Glock 19 I don't own this gun I borrowed it from Michelle up at Mall spawn she was nice enough to let us take a new gun out we're going to take this thing and just literally I've never shot it we're gonna pull it right out of the box and we're just going to see what it's all about and I get some initial impressions on the gun and I do want to mention something real quick before we start this video on the Gen 5 here is that when we made our initial Glock 43 video I want to make it clear to everybody that there were some things about that video that Glock didn't like and they tried to strong-arm us to get us to pull that video down and I just want to make it clear that I'm making this video for my viewers that care about this gun and yes I like Glocks and yes I think this is probably going to be a pretty cool gun but I just want to put that out there that there seems to be a lot of confusion with people about who we work for and what we do and I just want to let everybody know in case it wasn't known that my honor and integrity is to my viewers and I would not Bend two Glocks will and pull that video because it didn't meet their mantra of perfection so that's why we're going to pull this gun right out of the box we've never shot it and we're going to take you guys along just like we always do and we always have and we're going to see what this dang guns about and that's just the bottom line that's what we're going to do so we're going to pull it out the box now when there's a lot of things about the Jim 5 they have made some changes so since this gun has never been fired I'm just going to swab the barrel make sure there's no preservatives inside the barrel ok they did change the barrel that's one thing I noticed already before I've even shot the gun the new barrels now have like a button style more traditional rifling in them versus the older guns having more of a polygonal style rifling one thing I noticed before I've even shot the gun is there's some definite holstering cuts that are very deliberate on the front of slide that have been made I'm pretty sure that's something that's slightly different there's also a sear bump that they've added on this gun where it won't accept an auto sear without having to be machined down so that's one thing that's different you can't put one of those glock auto sears in this thing so it looks like a meltdown is not going to be in the future for this particular gun without having to actually manufacture this pistol as a machine gun that's not going to happen the back plate is different you know it kind of retains like the the Gen 4 you know grip inserts and everything like that you got a mag loader a cleaning rod a cleaning brush trigger lock I don't know why anybody want that another thing that they did change on this gun as well is the slide stop is definitely more robust and they've they've changed a little bit of the geometry on the slide stop and the slide stop is completely ambidextrous so that's something that's pretty cool there it's got a very large and deliberate magazine release the magazine well appears to have a pretty deliberate flaring to it I do like the way the gun fits my hand to a degree we are going to go ahead and shoot it I've never shot this gun before I've got quite a few gen 3 19's you guys know if you've watched a channel that 19's are definitely one of those guns that we've always been a pretty good fan of I mean I like Glock pistols don't have anything against them but we got a variety of ammunition that we're just going to try out through the gun the gun does come with three magazines the followers on the magazines are updated to like a orange follower and I'm assuming that's probably for safety or something like that so if you know that the mag is empty or something like that anyway we're going to have a look we've got some American Eagle 124 grain FMJ that's going to be the first load we test alright first shots through the gun just have a little fun here [Music] freedom munitions 124 grain ball ammo sure this isn't a meltdown ah I said you sure this isn't a meltdown I'm sure it's not a meltdown how bad that worked PMC 115 grain Full Metal Jacket these are 15 shot max by the way guys alright one thing that I want to make note of is the fact that now now that the barrel is not a polygonal barrel anymore in their room with the more traditional style of barrel I don't own this gun I might buy one I don't really you know know what I want to do yet I haven't really developed an opinion about it but if I did buy one of these guns I think it'd be cool to try casting some ammo for it because you know the cast ammo tends to do a lot better well I should I should go back on my statement and say that the polygonal rifling doesn't tend to do quite as well with cast ammo so I see this being potentially a good cast bullet launcher and some of you guys that reload like I do or if you cast your own projectiles kind of a really cool way to be able to shoot cheaper so that might be possibly something that matters to people the recoil impulse and the way the gun shoots and everything like that is pretty much everything that I've come to expect out of any 19 I you know I'm a little jaded on something like this because the thing is I already own a bunch of Gen 3 19's and that's kind of my go-to pistol for really just a wide variety of different things I mean I already own I think for Gen 3:19 three of them are nib exten three Glock 26 I mean and I'm perfectly happy with them when the Gen 4 came out I didn't really see a major need to really just rush out and go buy Gen 4 and I wasn't really grossly happy with the features of the Gen 4 and then when I heard the June 5 came out it's kind of like ok whatever now if somebody's looking into Glock just as an initial kind of thing and like they've never bought a Glock or they've never owned the Glock this Glock would be just as good to own as any other Glock I guess it really just depends on what your overall purpose is for the gun some people really might like the ambidextrous slide stop as being an option I did hear that they've tried to change the finish process a little bit that was one complaint that we had on a lot especially the Glock 42 and a lot 43 guys the finish on those guns suck alright I don't know any other way to explain it so that's the finish is not good ok there early guns have such a good rap for holding up so well in terms of their finish because the tenant for finish I believe this is more of a mellow knighting I think at one point they went to like kind of a black exciting finish and that's what was on the Glock 42 s in the Glock 43 s and it sucks okay I hate to say it but it does I mean it is what it is guys just the finish is not good this is more of a I don't know if it would be considered a mellow knighting but it's closer to melon IDing that it is blocks at black oxide and time will tell how that finish holds up and everything like that I think that the whole tenifer thing the reason that these guns aren't finished tenifer anymore I think it's an EPA thing I think what it ended up being was because of EPA and because of some type of environmental regulation that they have to adhere to it's illegal to use tenifer on a gun now and in the United States I don't maybe you guys can fact check me on that but I heard that's why that they don't use that finish anymore because EPA regulations and things like that certain types of finishes just can't be applied here because of environmental concerns take that for what you will but it is what it is another thing you know and this may not be something that really matters anybody but to me I find it to be kind of a thing I mean an auto sear like a you know full auto Glock Auto sear or something like that like say you want to if you're an SOT or manufacturer and you want and you have an auto sear and you want to use a clock as a host gun you can't just drop out us here in this gun you have to physically machine the slide in order to get an auto sear to work in this gun now does that mean that they couldn't make a Gen 5 Auto sear I'm sure they could okay but I find it to be maybe just a little bit problematic that it's almost like engineered shenanigans in a way and and and it could just be the fact that they changed some things about the gun that required that that geometry to change a little bit there are some some internal differences between the older jennife gun and the nija and five you know I like the way it fits my hand okay but then again I I've never really had a concern about Glocks ever in terms of how they fit my hand that's gonna be different for each person we'll talk a little bit more if I'm going to shoot some more we've got some more ammo to try out so far it's working all right we've got a sgm tactical 33 round magazine loaded up with some federal send tech this is their synthetic jacket 115 grain basically powder coated bullets guys is what we're dealing with here and this is a American Eagle the accuracy to be stellar at this point what's that I said I wouldn't consider the accuracy to be stellar at this point well they're claiming that these barrels are supposed to provide a little bit better accuracy and to be fair guys I haven't been behind the Glock in a minute so it could be me just take it for what you will [Applause] just trying to take my time guys I mean that's not terrible accuracy right there certainly good enough for a defensive unit which to me a 19 is a pretty good defensive handgun I've you guys know that I like 19 [Applause] I pulled those too you can smell that jacket material like it's got a strange odor to it but supposed to keep the barrel cleaner and all from what I understand right yeah I agree interesting mmm I'm just over your breathing in fumes yeah let's see get it out of there yeah a little hot just a tiny bit hot just a little warm it's got a little bit of fallout in the barrel but I wouldn't say anything to be unexpected guys the whole point of polygonal rifling and I suppose and I'm not I'm not making this claim for Glock or against Glock or anything but the point of polygonal rifling is that it's supposed to increase velocity because it's lower drag lower friction and if you take two identical rounds and shoot one round out of a standard button rifle barrel and then one round out of a polygamy row in theory the political barrel should provide higher velocity round 2 round distant really depends on what that whole Hoopa law is really worth to you it's either important or it's not me personally I don't really care either way I would prefer a barrel that maybe has a little bit more usefulness to it but I've never made a purchase or decision on a gun based on oh well this one has a standard Barrel in it this one has a polly gonna barrel it's just a difference in how the guns are made that's really all it is take it with a grain of salt guys I mean just is what it is well you know like when I first bought a Glock several years back again three you know I had to like a lone-wolf barrel just so I could run cast ammunition out of it that's right so I mean it when's the last time you cast 9-millimeter it's been a while right I cast 45 gap okay our arms core 147-grain subsonic full power subsonic FMJ factory 33 round Glock magazine that gun it's not shooting terrible I don't really think it's the gun I think it's just me this gun will probably shoot a heck of a lot better than I can incapable of shooting all right well it's having its moments there's some some nice kind of clusters of shots there but I'm just not shooting this gun super consistently but the gun is showing some some promise for accuracy yeah I bet I honestly I don't think it's bad at all I really don't considering we haven't shot handguns in what a month I mean it is what it mean the bottom line is guys I'm not the kind of pistol shooter that is concerned about like tiny little groups you know I mean like I could Pinterest this gun and I could probably get a lot better accuracy I'm more concerned about what I can pick the gun up and do and if if we're talking a defensive situation and it's my life or theirs I haven't missed with this gun yet who cares I mean that's that's my thing I mean it is what it is guys all right we have some defensive ammo loaded up we're going to try all the ammo we've been shooting has been ball we're going to try some full measure of expanding ammo here we've got some hundred forty seven grain HST here from federal that we're going to be trying out 15 shot mag we got some sodas down there watermelon we're just going to engage those fleshy items down there and see what happens maybe I can hit him it's not gonna be good whatever it is okay you had to talk about missing I mean the thing is that's not a shot you're going to take in a defensive situation anyway they know you're not going to be rest at 20 yards by soda bottles you're going to be rushed it at 6 yards by this guy right here alright now this is kind of fun here we've got we've got some piny mountains racer MO and the point of running this is one it's tracers what's not to like about that but two it's one of those things where this is kind of like non-standard weird kind of ammo so let's just see how it runs some odd balls hopefully we don't catch anything on fire please tones I mean that that's fine too but anyway here we go tracers well that's three kind of like whipped out of there do you see that I did they did that was nuts but but here's the thing that gongs 30 yards away and I put most of those shots into the size of a pie plate what else does a dang gun need to do as far as I'm concerned that's not too terrible and there's a look at those mag followers that we can show you earlier they're orange but there's still a metal line magazine it still says Glock and all that I guess but that seems to be the only major change that they've made to the magazine itself is the follower so we're a few rounds in here you know I I think it's pretty cool guys it's just a dang Glock okay it's a Glock if you've seen one you've seen them all all Glock is done is made the same gun over and over and over again with tiny little differences between them oh let's change the caliber oh let's make them a little bigger a little smaller but at the end of the day it's a Glock you either like Glocks oh you don't I personally am NOT like very much in love with the trigger on these guns however I do see the the combat effectiveness of them and the utilitarian nature of a Glock and I think that that's what I appeal to a little bit more with a Glock pistol than I do anything else I personally find the MMPs to be a little bit more fun to shoot and with the more rigid frame I feel like they're a little more accurate for me okay but everybody's different I think that Glock is it makes a good utilitarian gun that can serve a lot of folks when they need something the most a Glock is certainly a gun that you can depend on me and you see this thing is eating everything we can throw in it with every mag with every round it hasn't had a single problem if it did guys you'd see it so it's just the thing is it's cool it works if you don't own a Glock and you want something this I guess the newest thing they make and you're not concerned about running Auto sear in it then who gives a crap if you like it buy it if it's if that's your thing whatever who cares me personally I mean from my perspective I already own a lot of Glocks so I probably wouldn't really see much of a point in getting one of these just for the sake of oh well have a Gen 5 I mean maybe there's some people out there that are kind of along the lines of you know they collect guns or whatever they collect modern guns to me that a gun like this definitely fits into like kind of the tool category it's a tool it's a tool that's all it is and I missed a few times but for the most part I hit everything I was aiming at everything I wanted to hit and generally the spot I wanted to hit it I can't really think of anything else the gun needs to do we're gonna get Chad's opinion let him have a go on it and and just see what the little gun can do Chad shoots a Glock a lot better than I do in fact I would say Chad shoots handguns a lot better than I do I don't know about although I'm more of a I'm more of a wheel gun guy you know I liked revolvers and things like that in terms of going out and just shooting to having fun now don't get me wrong I mean I carry a shield on my side all the time Chad carries his Glock 42 still 43 43 I'm sorry I I think I we got Brandi at 42 mm-hmm and didn't didn't Mindy get a 42 no I got her 43 43 okay so y'all have a pair of 43 Brandi has 42 and then I carry shield I'm the only evil one out of the bunch yeah I've got to be the rabble rouser and carry the shield but the rebel but the thing is though Glocks are cool you know guys it's a proven gun people like them everybody can draw their own opinion about what they think about this but anyway I'm gonna let Chad have a go don't get me wrong if it came down to it my life depended on it I would trust my wife to block any day alright guys I'm gonna take a few shots with the Gen 5 Glock here and you know like Eric said I mean it's kind of uneventful like Eric I own several blocks owned mostly Gen threes and older ones I don't really own any modern Gen threes I don't own a single Gen 4 I do own the 243 's and you know one of those we sent the rhobar and they basically dress that thing up and put their you know awesome finish on and everything and the mp3 plus coding all the internals so I don't have a problem to finish on that gun anymore but my wife's gun is still stuck and if I don't keep that thing oiled that black outside crap it just rusts like a scone and you know I hope that the finish on these guns holds up much better than the previous models because that's one big complaint that I did have for sure so we're just gonna shoot it and see how I do with it I am more of a Glock guy than Eric is and the big scheme of things but like we said we do own several of these guns because I mean bottom line is they work they work great so let's see what I can do here I've got some American Eagle this is the one 24 grain stuff I'm basically gonna shoot a lot of the same man though the Eric did you see how see how it performs never shot this gun before 20 good for a defensive pistol in my book I mean that's a 10 inch plate it yeah 15 yards that's about a 6 inch group give or take you know not really trying too hard not bench pressing this thing and all that mess all right so we got some of the freedom additions hundred twenty-four brain pull that one to the left [Applause] that's the six-inch blade at about 20 yards you're gonna lose some mags for me I am all right we'll just gonna melt this thing down a little bit and see what happens if it's already warm when I picked it up so all right PMC brahms shoot this do 28 here on the bolt here [Applause] how's it going for a head shot you know that ammo is actually pretty consistent it is very I did pull that one shot I was just kind of fondling the trigger a little bit and just checking the reset and everything on there the triggers just like a regular Glock trigger I mean there's really nothing special about it I do notice that the the trigger bow itself is smooth it doesn't have those little ridges cut in it like some of the other previous models do I like the feel of that a lot better it doesn't cut into your hand and also the little safety the safety lever there is kind of radiused some of the older models they would have like these sharp edges on there which were just a little bit uncomfortable but all right so is that some more the freedom there yeah whatever the box is on is what it is before let's tuck out some Saudi pups all right time here at the top [Applause] not bad go for I mean this gun has eaten everything we've thrown in it so far and we're gonna keep shooting and dude it's running great alright so this is some of the 147 grain free dimensions pro match it's a kind of a hollow-point projectile let's see if this stuff's any more acting I'm gonna shoot one of these tenants plates up here on the left hmm see you gotta be able to shoot better than I do 15 yours bad now we'll see I'm gonna try to alright let's break out the big stick [Applause] look at that I couldn't do that again if I ever tried wow just a few seconds to unload them takes me forever to load I'm just gonna wrap them out here and even hurting dude [Applause] even with the the flirt magwell and stuff on there this thing's still kind of riding up in my hand a little bit I almost like that RTF grip a little bit better or like a stipple grip like I did on my my Glock 17 that we didn't melt down on I think I'd probably stipple the Griffith it was mine just personally for carry and stuff like that but not bad at all all right let's try some head shots back there on those d28 yeah so much for that idea all right try some more the pro match I won't get my headshots in there so 20 yards for inch target I mean let's try that I'm terrible the guns accurate um it's it's not bad at all all right let's try a little say it all little pop her back there he's uh give or take about 30 yards away see I don't know we're sitting at that ring okay well all right we are getting it pretty hot yeah it's dude it's it's steaming there's Mirage coming off with a slide here it's keep shooting it bang thing keep shooting all right so sorry Michelle we're we're ruining your gun it's gonna be slightly used when we bring it back I mean it's not a match gun but if you take your time with it that's 30 yards away on a six-inch plate this mo shoots exceptionally will does huh really all we have left I shot up all the hodgepodge of stuff I brought oh there's some more back my truck we got plenty of nine okay keep shooting all right 35 yards [Applause] all right the things hitting like six inches high at 35 yards so Sitting Bull's all right 40 yards 75 not the highway either I'll take it all day I don't know I may have to buy one of these sighs all right since sake good grief he hasn't skipped a beat yeah it has [Applause] trying to get on that reset hey how about tag-team wrestling here I'm coming oh I've been back your loan mags I'm not getting shoes well you didn't shoot enough you timeout you sure this isn't turning into a meltdown video we're out of ammo oh look here's beer everywhere guys all right you just had to get in there redeem yourself that's all well that's right that's right not bad yeah whatever okay I have to say that I like it I mean will I buy one with all the blocks I currently own and use probably not but I think it would be a good option for somebody it's a Glock I think that'd be a good option for somebody who wants to you know cast bullets and have the option without having to spend an extra hundred bucks on another barrel yeah yeah that's one one good feature - and the bullnose on the slide I mean it's got some good features to it for sure and the thing did not skip a beat but I mean hardly any Glock we've ever shot skipped a beat at all yeah I mean I mean I would say I would say gets the seal of approval I'd say so I'd say it's combat worthy for sure but then again when is when is a Glock never really been not combat worthy I mean they're the most unisex looking things in the world they're ugly they don't really fit your hand all that great they fit everyone's hand marginally and no no one person's hand exceptionally well like they just it's just a generic fit you know what I mean and they tried to get around that with the interchangeable backstraps so to be fair that's kind of cool to kind of add that little bit of modularity to the gun for those that need it but hey not bad I think it's pretty cool so guys thank you for watching today's video I hope that you saw the performance of the gun I mean you guys saw it here along with us we just roll the camera and go for it and guys that's how we make all of our videos if there's an issue you're gonna know it trust me we don't play around when it comes to this kind of stuff we take the sort of stuff pretty dang seriously especially handgun reviews because and I really even hate to say review because I don't even consider this a review it's just more of a hey we're just taking this thing out shooting it and you guys are just watching us do it but we do take this stuff seriously because I know how important these types of things can be for people not only to kind of learn about products but also to kind of see what we think about it guys thank you for watching today's video we graciously appreciate everybody's support Thank You Michelle for letting us borrow this gun we don't own this gun they didn't have to let us do that it's a used gun now maybe I can get it cheaper now that's usable but but anyway Thank You Michelle for letting me borrow this gun for the video here guys thank you so much for your support on patreon your support man cans and all of the great contributions you make to our channel just by watching and by commenting and sharing your ideas with the world that's what this whole platform is about and I graciously appreciate all of you that watch our videos thank you very much have a good day [Music] you
