I haven't tried a Glock yet but when this thread gets to 1000 posts I'll think about it.

Time to think about that trial, ACP1. We're over 11220 posts here on the thread.

I guess that means he'll be trying 11.2 Glocks.

I never tried one, up until about page 375 of this thread. They look clunky, etc. but IIRC I've had only one malfunction shooting any of mine in that time (failure to strip a round from the mag) and that was on my first try with a new magazine/new pistol recently.

OK, I'll start looking at them. Which ones have a metal frame? A must for almost any gun I buy.

Next question?


Seriously though while Glocks are not my favorites there is a ton to like about them and one of those things is you can do damn near anything you want with one because the market is huge for parts and accessories when there are like eleventy billion Glocks out there.

According to the pragmatic axiom "One is none, and two is one" I now have one G19.

Added a Gen 5 to the stable to permanently back up my trusty gen 3.

I agree the front slide serrations are fugly but I like the gen 5 trigger, lockwork, and barrel upgrades.

Went out to the range earlier and put some rounds through my newest acquisition a Gen5 G19. Man.. this thing is spot on crazy accurate. Shoots and feels better than any Gen3 or 4 G19 I have played with. A very nice shooting compact. Now to get a red dot for her.

Very nice 357! I just picked up an unfired 19.5 MOS locally to me to go with the 26 and 43x. Aimpoint ACRO plate is inbound.

Nice. As I said before I truly believe the Gen5’s are the best of the breed.

I was down to 2 Glock 19's...now I'm, back up to three Glock 19's (2x Gen 3's, Gen 5 MOS) and a Gen 3 Glock 26...

I love my P365, but the Glock is just the top tier platform for it's reliability...plus I've carried them for over 30 years.

Buy American!

So you have an Austrian pistol with a European red dot and a made in China flashlight…… mean I guess you could be running Federal or Underwood ammo or something American so there is that.

I know I know. You have an American slide. .

Well since the slide is stamped USA it’s an all American pistol made in Georgia.

It's like American cars; a fair % is U.S. made:
+ Lone Wolf barrel
+ SIG Elite Defense ammo
+ Overwatch Precision PolyDAT trigger

I'd say it's mostly American. Just like the Austrian ones are mostly Austrian. Something about some sort of global economic sourcing BS. Works for automobiles, apparently works for guns as well.

Mine is also super shootable. Feels every bit as accurate as my 1911 and LTT laserguns. Haven't been this enamored since I got my first G19.

I do want to lighten the trigger on mine just a tad. And get some proper sights.

Anybody remember the 25-cent trigger jobs from a few years ago? I wonder if they would work on Gen 5's?

^^^^50 cents nowadays. WuFlu inflation, ya kno.

Polishing work still works on Gen5s. Their innards aren't that different from the insides of earlier generations.

I managed to find a G19 Gen 5 locally for a price I can afford, and I want to add night sights.

The FBI is pretty OCD about their sidearms, so I'm wondering if anybody here knows what night sights they require for the G19 MOS Gen 5 they're issuing. One source says it's an unspecified Ameriglo front sight and a rear sight I never heard of, another source says they're still using the Ameriglo Agent sights they ordered for the plain Gen 5.

Anybody know for sure? I'm not sure I believe the source that says they're still using the Agent sights since the guy was actually showing a 19M MOS Gen 5, and I think the 19M (and 17M for that matter) were developed to use up overstock parts. A lot of them that I've looked at don't have other FBI-mandated changes like the rounded oversize mag release and the special slide release.

It's a lot easier for me to rely on their research than it is to try out several different products to see what works.
