Had a Gen 3 19 for years. When the Gen 4 came out I wasn't impressed enough to upgrade. Gen 5s however are meaningfully better, in my opinion. Had 2 until that darned boating accident!
I bought my son a 19 Gen 5 last week, we haven't shot it yet. My gf bought a 44 .22 cal the week before and her daughter bought a model 48 9mm the week before that. We shot the 44 and 48 last week, loved them both. That .22 shot really really nice, it's a good fit for my gf.
Am anxious to try out that model 19 gen 5, I like the fact it holds so many rounds. I carry a Ruger 380 LCP or my M&P with crimson trace all the time but I really like the Glocks.
Gen 5s are fantastic. Not for nothing but I literally shoot guns to death for a living.
I got a wake up call today. I paid $625 for my son's 19 gen 5 last week, went to a different store in the same town today and they have some kind of "Blue" program with the Glocks for LEO and Military. I found out I could have bought the same 19 Gen 5 at that place for $425! I spent $200 more than I needed to and had NO IDEA. I'm going back there tomorrow I think and gonna buy myself one.
