Glock as a word should be used the same way as "GOOGLE" , a name , verb , noun and adjective
so next time somebody is messing with you , Glock him.

If you were buying a Glock 19 today, would it be a Gen. 4 or Gen. 5? Why?

They are the most popular law enforcement pistol in the US for a reason i.e, they work (most of the time), have a simple manual of arms and are robust in construction.
That said, over the years, I've had to send a total of six pistols back to Glock with various defects. Two were replaced, two were repaired and two were "upgraded".
Customer service is excellent with a short turn around time.
Keep your Glock stock, feed it quality ammunition and only use unmodified factory Glock magazines and it will serve you well.
My favorite is the Gen 3 19. Second choice is the Gen 4 19. Have tried a Gen 5 19 and don't care to own one.

Glock, 5 attempts at perfection.
Nothing wrong with em they just no longer stand out in the crowd of polymer Stryker fired pistols.
But what do I know, I'm smitten with the 1911 bug again.

Glock USED to be the best alternative to a revolver, 1911, BHP and all generations of S&W pistols. But that was long ago.
Now Glock is just a name that noobs associate with quality - kinda like Colt. Experienced shooters are less likely to shell out $600 for a pistol they can buy from S&W for $350 (and S&W's warranty is much better than Glock's).

Who spends $600 on a Glock? Who cares about Glock's warranty as it's almost never needed. We've had Glocks in our rental program for several years (same gun) and only had 2 failures---one slide crack and one left rear guide rail broke, both on 17's with tens of thousands of rounds through them.

Who cares what you think? Obviously you haven't wandered into a sporting goods place and checked prices. Noobs don't buy their 1st handgun online - because the process is daunting. And who cares what your supposed reliability experiences mean since you don't compare them to anything? The fact is that S&W makes a customer feel better. And if you do need service, (which noobs do sometimes), S&W is very nice to them. The fact is that Glock is living off of it's name and mindless fanboys.

I don't like them because the bore axis is too low.

- people call them "blocks", because they have the ergonomics of a 2x4
- uber reliable typically with not great triggers even aftermarket
- they fit the tactiCOOL bill
- I like the G42 and G43 for carry

1995 called and wants its pistol back.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
