 I think the front slide serrations on the Gen 5s are ugly as sin. I have a Gen 5 G19 and G17. Luckily, I got them before they looked this.  They look like this.  Clean, respectful, presentable. |

I agree.
They are also contrary to the manual of arms as taught by Glock. Hand over slide manipulation is gospel. I haven’t been to a Glock instructor school for several years now but I don’t think that’s changed. |

Yes, they’re ugly, but I like the functionality of front serrations because I press check like a noob tool.

I'm a Glock guy, they always were ugly. I prefer function over beauty with them and I do like the serrations for functionality.

What is ugly is that half moon grip cutout on your early gen 5 G19.

If I was buying guns based on looks, I wouldn’t be looking at glocks. You are right though.

It's a handgun, and they're functional. I sure as shit don't care about some vertical lines. |

It is a tool... not a piece of art or a Texas BBQ gun!
Visual aesthetics do nothing to enhance function! |

Glocks are ugly, the front serrations don't really make it any worse and at least they're functional if you like grabbing the front of your slide for some reason.

It's a Glock.
They aren't exactly known for being pretty. That said, I always liked the looks of Glock's from an engineering and functionality standpoint. |

I have no use for front serations. Add nothing functional or looks wise for me.

Agree. Completely unecessary and ugly. The guys who like front slide serrations are the same guys who post pictures of their knives on instagram.

Glock and pretty were 2 words that have never gone together unless there was a "not" in there somewhere. Front serrations or lack thereof doesn't change that

We need a JB Weld or Bondo thread tutorial to learn how to fill those in. Like the opposite of a Dremel tutorial.
ETA or maybe grey50's welding skills? |

I purposely had my Blue label dealer get me a Gen 5 G19 with the front serrations and no mag well cut off.
Glock was close to perfection with Gen 3 took care of slide bite with gen 4 grip panels... But finally brought it home with Gen 5 with no cut out and with front serrations. The slightly better trigger was just a bonus Thanks Gaston.... you magnifcient old Bastard...... |

The front serrations are awesome as fuck and OP should be ashamed of himself for dissing them. On the MOS versions, with a red dot mounted, the front serrations are a necessity. Here's my Gen5 26 with not only the front serrations, but is USA made in addition. Just the way I want it.

Meh.....
Let’s face facts. All Glocks are ugly. I’m at the point where ascetic value is very LOW on my list when it comes to firearms. All my Glocks WORK. That’s all I care about. If I want pretty I’ll get out the 1911. |
