Dan My ffl finally called me last week that the gen6 I told him to get me back in january came in. I shouldn’t be spending money on guns but our state is trying to ban glocks. He also gave me a very good deal, I couldn’t resist. |

| Two things about the Gen 5s I own. 1) the finish, especially on the barrel, sucks ass. The slide ain't the greatest either, but I think they used a magic marker on the barrel 2) I am not left handed, so I don't need ambidextrous bullshit on my pistol, especially slide release. |

I wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth upgrading from my 19.5 MOS. As soon as I held the gen 6 I told the dealer “I’ll take it.” There will be a 19.5 MOS in the EE shortly.

What updates / improvements do the Gen 5s have over the Gen 3 or 4? A friend let me borrow his G17 Gen 5 MOS for a pistol class last weekend and I shot really good with it. Was able to draw and get a shot off on a plate target at 25 yards in 1.37 seconds. I got lucky but that rig brings good luck. I’ve been trying to get him to sell it to me but so far he’s not budged. I’ve got a G22 Gen 3 and a G20 Gen 4, of course neither are MOS, but that Gen 5 seemed smoother to me. |

Front slide serrations; aesthetically pleasing (to me) and good.for those that like doing their press checks from the front end. 2. Better trigger. 3. Better grip texture (than Gen 3). 4. Glock Marksman Barrel for enhanced accuracy (average shooter won't notice a difference). 5. Ambidextrous slide stop/release. 6. Better slide finish (than Gen 4; Gen 3 Tenifer was pretty good). 7. Optics Ready (Gen 3 didn't have MOS. MOS still sucks and requires better-than-factory plates/screws, but it's better than nothing). 8. No finger grooves (I don't mind them in the larger framed G20/G21 but I don't like them in the smaller 9mm and .40/.357 frames. YMMV.). I have owned Glocks Gen 2 through Gen 5...Gen 5 is easily my favorite. Though Gen 6 looks pretty nice and I can see those making it into my stable as well...

| Gen 5’s are solid. I have a 26, 2 45 MOS, 1 45 I had milled by Battlewerx, 1 20 MOS, 1 21 MOS, 2 17MOS, 2 34 MOS. They are the best generation of Glocks I have ever handled or shot. I would like to handle a gen 6 with a COA installed. I have yet to see one in person. |
Good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun.
