Glock 45 (black G19x) and other models being released
Glock had to add a considerable amount of thickness (and presumably gained a good amount of weight as well) to make that two-pin 40S&W work (yes, the plastic rear pin counts as well). I'd be skeptical as to how beefy the slide would have to be in order to make a two-pin 10mm feasible enough to keep a high pressure bear load from ripping the damn thing apart. I'm not saying that Glock couldn't accomplish it but why the hell would anyone want to carry such a top-heavy, overweight beast when the Gen4 and Gen3 designs work fine as-is? They would be better off just creating a "Gen4.5" (lose the finger grooves, change the slide finish) and call it good enough.

They finally make a product that works for me.
It will only fit your Glock 19 Gen5 holsters. Ambi slide stop makes the Gen5 guns a no-go in the Gen3/Gen4 holsters, unfortunately.

Gen 5s fit well in 99% of the Gen 1/2/3/4 holsters I've tried. A few holsters require a bit of tweaking on the adjustment screw for an optimal fit. But nearly all fit just fine as-is.
I've only run across a handful of holsters that don't fit at all. Even then, the Gen 5s will technically fit inside them, but they're overly tight and require an inordinate amount of force to draw from.
The ambi slide stop isn't an issue in many cases.
The main difference in holster fit is that they've slightly beefed up the frame at the muzzle end, where the accessory rail is located. That slight dimensional difference at the muzzle is primarily what causes the occasional holster tightness issue. But even then, it's only on rare occasion.This message has been edited.

I don’t know how to post pictures here now that I don’t use Photo bucket anymore. But if someone can post them I’m happy to send them
I shot it today. It’s fantastic. I’ll be getting a 17 as well

Got mine today, looks just like bubbatime's photo on pg2.
Feels really good in the hand - as this is my first Gen5, interested in seeing how it shoots as I'm really used to the finger grooves on my Gen4 G1ocks. Trigger is nice and clean for a Glock - will install Ameriglo Agents, grip plug, and the OEM extended slide stop-release before shooting.

Stupid Glock adding a 17 with front serrations. Looks like another pistol I have to have.

Anyone know if the gen 5 OEM extended slide stop is extended on both sides? Thanks.

What price were you all getting for the G19 Gen 5 MOS?

Online I'm seeing them for $600 or so.
If the rear dovetail wasn't setback, I'd consider it but I'll be waiting for a Gen 5 G19 non-MOS without the halfmoon grip cut.

This. Glock hasn't confirmed if their regular Glock 19 frames going forward will lose the half moon cutout that everyone hates, but it makes sense for Glock to make and inventory one style of frame, rather than two. The instant Glock releases a regular gen 5 Glock 19 without the half moon cutout, I will buy two of them.

Yeah, I'll be in for at least one G19 Gen5 without the grip cut.
Prepped my G45, cleaned, did my standard grip plug, OEM (-), Extended Slide stop, and now just waiting for the Ameriglo Agent Sights.
One interesting thing is one of the Gen 5 G17 mags didn't have the mag insert floorplate lock on it - when I looked at the bottom I could see the spring. I disassembled it, figuring maybe it didn't seat right, but there wasn't one inside.
From converting several G17 mags to +2, I had a spare so easy peasy, but still interesting to see it MIA. The other two mags were good as delivered.

Some holster data points.
G45 with XC1 fits - Bravo Concealment BCS holster (just a smidge tighter than the G19Gen4) - Detroit Holsters "8-Mile" - Red River Tactical Type 2 IWB
Without the XC1 it also fits a non light bearing Detroit "8-mile".
So 4 for 4 so far.
I have another "8-mile" for an X300 but I didn't feel like taking the light off a rifle to check it out, but I'm confident it will fit fine, as it made the same way as the other 8-mile holsters and has no real pressure on the right side ambi slide stop area, with most of the retention from the light and slide.

FYI. Agent sights have been on sale at Brownells for $85 for awhile now. I order a set every time there is a 10% off code. I already have them for my 45 which I will buy Friday and I already have a set standing by for whenever my new duty gun gets here. I hate the OEM night sights.
Not minority enough!

Yup. I have them on all mine except two which had my previous favorite, the I-Dot Pros.
