Thanks for the replies. Good to learn about the backward magazine compatibility.
Just read from Apex that the Gen 5 trigger is different so present Apex triggers won't work. Apex not sure yet about their extractor kit. |

Fun fact.
2 layers of masking tape is all it takes to get straight borders. |

You might not need to upgrade the gen 5 trigger right off the bat, as far as I can tell it is not horrible straight from the box. I would rate it somewhere between pretty good and great |

To me, it feels just like a Glock trigger, or like just a Glock trigger. Every person I know who has handled a gen 5 has said the trigger is fantastic. |

That's a great looking stipple job. Nice!

I got my hands on one, and didn't think the trigger was any better than my stock gen3 19. The cutout is annoying, but glad the finger grooves are gone. I would be interested in getting one, but I'm not going to buy one without shooting it sum.

got mine today and shot 100 rounds. didn't notice the cutout at all while shooting, only when playing with it and looking for it. Probably going to fire another 150 plus tomorrow |

I'm right around 700 rounds through mine now, all stock with factory glock NS. I think the trigger is slightly better than my stock Gen3, smooth for sure. The only magazine I had an issue with was a Gen2 G19 mag, non steel lined. It functioned fine but did not lock the slide back or drop free, the rest of my mags, random Glock factory, ETS, Magpul were perfect. I've found that I shoot this Gen5 better than the Gen3 or Gen4, not sure what the cause of this is but I shoot it more accurately for sure. I just started carrying it now, feels like perfection to me!

Ok, maybe its 8.7% better, but not 87% better. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Gotta agree, for the hype I was expecting it to be a big improvement. It's better than a factory earlier gen but no better than a factory gun with a .25 trigger job in my opinion. Definitely glad the finger grooves are gone but they were easy enough to remove with a Dremel and a little sanding. I figure I'll give it a few months then maybe pick up a blue label G17. |
