mike56How are the glock gen 5 .40's holding up?
Shopping for a glock 23, gen 5, MOS.
How is the gen 5, 2 pin holding up to the .40sw?
Figure the gen 5 22's were being used by LE agencies. Should be some input by now?

Chowsermost are switching back to 9mm.
Some South American agency has been using the gen5 22 for awhile now and nothing bad has been reported as far as I have seen.
The gen5 .40 guns have thicker slides so I guess the 2 pin design is fine.
I had a gen5 23 for less than a week. Never fired it. My 32 barrel didn't fit exact so I got rid of it.

Probably not as many as you'd think. Every agency I know of that has upgraded to Gen 5s has either stuck with 9mm as before, or made the switch from .40 to 9mm.

wacopolumboIt’s weird how the Gen5 .40 cal Glocks have slides like the 45 GAP guns. Holster problems, etc…

jbourneidentityI only have about 250 rounds through mine, but it's holding up just fine. No malfunctions. No broken pins or parts. Trigger is very good as Glock triggers go. When firing, the ".40 torque" is gone, recoil is greatly reduced from previous Gens, and holsters are starting to come online.
I'm not a big .40 guy, but I have ammo in that caliber, so it was a good option for me.

Worst case is getting an offset 9mm conversion barrel and some 9mm mags.
