Ok, I am sure everyone has seen the Glock Gen 5s that are suppose to be available Sept. 30th. What are your thoughts? For me I am staying with the Gen 3 17s.
I think the no finger groove is going to be a selling point. A lot of people hate them. Of course they only take 10 minutes to remove. I just wish they would have done the front cocking serrations on the Gen 5 like they did the other models previously. At least they are doing what the people want. Oh and being able to get good sights is a plus.
How does the price point compare with previous generations? The DLC finish is a definite upgrade. If they are priced comparable to Gen 4s I think they have a winner. Glocks have always been overpriced IMO, but they are definitely moving in the right direction with their product. Ion Bond and finally some steel sights. Yea that's pretty nice...
Personally, I like the finger grooves so I'm good with the glocks I have.
Maybe I'm stuck in a time warp but it's Gen 3s for me.
Not impressed. Not going to be getting rid of my gen 3 or gen 4's for it.
Gen 5 barrel accuracy: less than 4" at 50 yards.
My fitted Barsto barrels: 3.5" at 100y.
