Finally got it out today. No optic on it yet, just the factory basic sights.
50 rounds Blazer brass;
20 Winchester Silver tips;
50 SIG FMJ 180 gr;
100% reliable and the 10mm round is just real accurate. Very comfortable 10mm to shoot. As crazy as this sounds i may grab another and put an RMR on one and leave one open sights.
Glocks really are just the steady option if you want to just get a low maintenance, reliable, accurate handgun. Its like I rediscover that every time I take them out

Cool!

I hope to get mine out next week. Ordered an ACRO and Tango Down plate. I don’t think anyone makes large frame plates yet, but hopefully it will bolt up.

I think I am just going to go with a Trijicon Type 2 3.25. Its what i have used on my other Glocks and they have all been great.

I’ve always found Glocks to be pleasant 10mm guns even the Glock 29.

I mean yes you can put some max loaded 10mm stuff that will be punchy no matter what but in general Glocks in 10mm I find pleasant. Strangely I always found the .40 Glocks far less pleasant than the competition, at least up through Gen 3 as I have no .40 caliber Glock experience past Gen 3.

This reminds me of the fact that I got a hankering for a 10mm last month, and bought a Gen4 because I had no idea that they were announcing a Gen 5 MOS like 2 weeks later. Oh well - I guess it's just an excuse to get another one

This is my first 10mm, and although the hottest thing I've run through it has been 175gr silvertips, it seems like a pretty soft shooting platform for the caliber.

Also - congrats on your purchase! we need pics to round out the thread.

Congrats on the 10mm.
I bought my first Glock back in December.
After wanting a 10mm , there were some 10mm Glock barrels in sale at Optics planet.
One review said he put it in a cheap G21 police trade in and worked great.
I bought a trade in G21, and when it came in it looked unissued.
Bright night sites and all.
After getting the barrel and G20 magazine, I loaded some rounds.
180 grain and not too hot.
It shoots fantastic.
For a power round , it is very accurate.

Enjoy yours !!

By chance did you have a Gen 3 before you got your Gen 5? If so, is it a huge difference or just a nice upgrade?
