I was looking at a 17 Gen 5 today...I almost bought it but...not quite there yet. The store had reduced prices on the 17 Gen 4s... | |||

^^^^^^^^^^ I bought the G17 Gen5. Experience with my 19 G5 sold me. ---------------------------------------- “The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.” | |||

I've noticed that for base Gen4 G19s and G17s that most distributors have lowered pricing to what the base Gen3 versions used to wholesale for. MAP lowers accordingly as well. | |||

Long time Glock naysayer here. Owned a G27 in the mid-90s. Not the best Glock to start with, but I didn't hate it either. Eventually sold it for something else and wasn't much interested in anything else. The AWB at the time probably had something to do with it, as I stuck with 45 ACP pistols for a long time. Fastfoward until 2 years ago. Loved HKs, still do. But the ubiquitous G19 called my name and I gave one a try. Then I started carrying it. Then I bought some more of them. Then I traded for a G42. Glocks and J-frames are what it is for me. Still have some HKs and one old school SIG P220, but they don't see much use anymore. | |||

You guys aren't helping  My dealer thinks Gen5 sales are slow for a couple reasons 1) Gen 4s are less expensive 2) not enough changes in the Gen 5 to warrant the extra money. Plus, I really like that Sig P210 American and I could use the Glock $$ towards the that. | |||

Hi all, I own three Glocks now, all are Gen 3 guns, a 26, 19 and 23. I really like them all, and use the 26 as the gun I carry when I ride my Harley. With the +2 base plate, I have it set up to hold 11 + 1, and always carry an extra mag. A great little gun and very accurate for a short barrel. With the 19, I consider it to be an all-around great carry gun. I was frequently carrying it, or my 23, as my off-duty weapons. I always scored very, very well in quals with all three weapons. The 19 was functionally perfect, even with a TLR-1 light attached. The 23, however, was NOT reliable with the same light attached. It would cough up the famous FTF on the 5th or 6th round when the TLR was attached. Glock said it was magazine springs or limping it or any other number of hoodoo voodoo issues. But it was NEVER fixed. I believe it was because of the frame flex issue, that really cannot be fixed on the 40 caliber. So I only use the 23 without a light, and it is perfect when run that way. Now, into the current time...I recently bought a new S&W M&P 2.0 Compact 9mm. By far, the nicest Glock 19 size gun I've ever handled. The grip, for me, with the smallest backstrap installed, is an absolute perfect fit. with the same 15 + 1 as the 19, it is a perfect carry gun. My first time, out of the box qualification was fantastic. It is now all I'm carrying for off duty. I'll be adding the Surefire XC1-B, and I'll likely not carry the 19 or 23 again. With the Federal 9MM HST loads we carry, I feel perfectly secure with that level of performance. So for me, other than my Harley rides, my Glocks will probably not see much use... Take care, JJ | |||

But you bought a Glock(s), hence the thread title.  I'm excited to hear of your love for your upgraded S&W Sigma Glock copy..  | |||

The cake is a lie! |
Thats one helluva first Glock! Im gonna head out the the local store on friday to pick up a case of ammo they have for their black friday deal. Last time I was there, they had a gen 3 G29 in the counter, If its still there when I go, I might just buy it. | |||

It took me years to come to the same conclusion still haven't gone for anything Gen 5, though). I actually had a Glock and didn't care for it much. When I finally came to seeing it for exactly what I wanted, I realized that it checked all the boxes for my needs. I've gone through several different Glocks for personal carry, but presently have a G43 much of the time, and like the G32 in the waistband, and sometimes a G33 for ankle carry depending on the occasion. Most of my Glocks are Gen 3, a few Gen 4's. I've found that when able, I prefer a full grip and a longer barrel, so the G31 goes with me a lot, especially in the car. I don't conceal it much, but for open carry occasions, I prefer the capacity and grip. The G17 is really hard to beat for reliability, size, comfort, ease, capacity, etc. One of the things I like the most about the Glock is simplicity. And weight. Even the G21 with a light that sits near the bed is light, and transition from one Glock to another, whether size frame or cartridge caliber, is simple, uniform, consistent. I didn't like them and yet I will buy another. Probably eventually a Gen 5. Ironically, when my boy came back from his first deployment, I gave him a Beretta 92FS, and turned out, he wanted a Glock. | |||

I’ve been thinking about my recent return to Glock and I wonder if it was just where I was as a shooter that made me not like it. At the time my experience was 1911s, Sig 226s and a Mil beretta. I think the comparatively mushy trigger and grip angle were what initially steered me away. Since then I have thousands of rounds through an M&P and more experience with just about any popular autopistol I can think of. I think now they feel less alien to me. The stock trigger feels good and no longer mushy (Ive been shooting a lot of stock m&p though) and I’ve adapted the grip the way I like. I’m a bit more comfortable with the grip angle but I chopped my medium beavertail down halfway and it comes up perfectly on target now. | |||

| A day late, and a dollar short  |
Just bought my second Glock today, a G19 Generation 5, came with 3 15rnd mags, standard sights. Black Friday is good, store has $599.99 tag on them, 10% off made it $540. Bought my first Glock a G23 Generation 3, it came with two 10rnd mags (thanks to AWB then in effect), and night sights for $600 in 2003. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Thank you for your utmost valuable contribution to the thread. If you took the time to read through ANY of it, you'd see many that stated your same words, but yet now have bought a (or even multiple) Glock(s). I'd say a Glock 21, in your choice of generation, would be a good start for you. Go on now............... | |||

I'm still looking for my first glock. I know it will be a 19 but trying to find one locally at a good price. It's kids like you, who make this bus late. | |||

What are the prices like? You may be able to get a deal in the current season or the shop may throw in some stuff which mine used to do. If you are LE/Mil they have a nice pricing structure. If not you could probably build a 19 out of parts. It would give you a great understanding of the platform and while it may not be cheaper you could build it piece meal over a bit of time. You could also buy used if you wanted to go that route. Probably save you over $100 | |||

Played with a Gen 5 G19 at Cabela’s on Thanksgiving. Shouldn’t have done that. Last thing I need is another damn Glock much less another damn G19. I just need to stay out of the fucking gun stores and away from the IPad. Fuck it I need to just live in isolation on top of a damn mountain. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

Well, after many years of being a loyal Sig guy, and having an HK, all in DA/SA with a decocker, I decided to go and try a striker fired pistol. My P320 Carry is a wonderful gun, but I was intrigued by the Gen 5 Glock, so I went and held one. A 17 with Ameriglo night sights. Felt great in my hand and more agile than my P320, so it came home with me. I've read so much that the grip angle is wrong or other issues, but the bottom line is go with what works for you. And for me, this is my carry pistol. Still have my P320, my P220 Carry, my SP2022, and my P2000SK, all for now, it may be time to thin the heard. SP2022 (9MM), P320 Carry (9MM), G17 Gen 5, P365 X-Macro TACOPS | |||

I just bought a new Glock 20sf Gen3 for deer hunting and wild boar hunting. Like the grip it fits my hand perfect. I had A Sig P220 elite Stainless SAO 10mm , Beautiful gun to nice to take into the woods. The Glock will never win any beauty contest. But its reputation for durabilty and relaiblity sold me. | |||

ZDOG16,Living on top of a mountain doesn't work either, because that's where I live, but the new Gen 5's brought me to town , and now I have two new Gen 5's, so mountains do not work, you might try another country and see if that works, but I doubt it will... P226 Scorpion, P225 A-1, P 226 SAO Legion, P229 Legion, P 22O Hunter SAO, P938, P320 full, P 320X Carry, P365 P365 XL. P365 SAS | |||
