Do any of y’all have a Gen 5 glock. I love my M&P but I’m a glock guy at heart and I am trying to decide if I want to get one of the Gen 5s or keep the M&P before I start dumping money into the M&P.

If you have one, how do you like it?

Any reliability issues? I know there weren’t major changes to the mechanics of the Gen 5 but changes can have unintended consequences.
It feels better than my Gen4. The finger grooves are gone. Beveled slide on the front. Flared magwell. Mags have orange followers. Ambi slide release. Same slide functions as the Gen4. I like it.

First Gen5 G19 I shot, didn’t realize what it was. Couple on a lane next to me we’re having some accuracy issues, so I fired a few rounds to verify that the sights were on......they were.

Later, I happened to notice it was a Gen5. Didn’t notice any of the differences when I shot it.

All I know, is that I'm getting a 19x as soon as I get back from Ft.Knox. and I'll have a G17 NIB for sale CHEAP as soon as I get home.

I like the 19X, but I also like the Colt Combat Commander and similar. Same idea.

Full-size grip for more capacity
Shorter slide/barrel conceals better when carrying OWB, and more comfortable when carrying IWB.

I might be home next weekend, and I'll let you know if I'm in town. If you're serious about buying the pistol. I'm in no rush to sell it, I'm just throwing it out there, I know there are a blue million Glocks for sale on the secondary market.
