It appears I have a lot of support from most of you guys here for the Gen 5!
I'm with you guys. I do believe it is better and offers more positive features over the Gen 4. If a person is buying new I can't imagine why they'd want a 4 over the five. Agreed.

You Glock guys are funny!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Bob Why? Nobody else does. Their SR series were good guns and good sellers. Their American and Security Nine series haven't done anything around here.

I bought a gen 4 over a 5 that was cheaper!
At the time I wanted one without the forward cocking grooves.
Have since bought a Glock 44 with the forward cocking grooves, and NO finger grooves.
Now wish I would have bought a gen 5 Glock 19

Bob I just bought 2 EC9S a week ago, one for me and one for the wife. They’re nice and concealable but it doesn’t beat the P365.

Some have mentioned the SW MP 2.0 handguns.
I own and have shot several. They have been 100% reliable and very accurate. They also have excellent triggers. The thing I like most about them is they do NOT move in your hand when you shoot. They point more natural than the Glocks I own, are less expensive and equally reliable. They too are outstanding handguns.
The ONLY gripe is if you carry the gun close to your body, the grip texture will abrade your skin and be uncomfortable. However, it your holster does not make the grip touch your skin, they are excellent handguns!

Yes I had a S&W 2.0 in 45acp and the grip was definitely abrasive on the baby fat. But it did feel good in the hand. Sold the gun to a buddy and used the money towards a Kimber 1911.

On the 2.0, guys, can't you sand down the texture to smooth it out? If that's the only complaint.......seems like an easy fix.
I agree, on the points above. Nothing wrong with the S&Ws, they are well made.

Yes, you can knock the sharp tips off on the side next to your skin easily if you feel that's necessary. The 2.0 M&P is a better mouse trap than Glock imho.

I also like the Shield in 45acp, but Glock in everything else.

I have 2 of the 2.0’s and the one drawback for them is Apex makes products that work for them. I first said I wasn’t gonna touch the insides of mine but a buddy let me shoot his with the flat faced trigger and carry/duty kit I promptly ordered 2 and they make a huge improvement on an already good thing.
Fortunately, there’s not much you can do with a Glock at least with Apex. After trying I put the original trigger back in and have several thousand rounds fired. I’m learning the stock Glock trigger and really liking it for a carry gun. Out of 4 gen 5 guns, the triggers are all the same. With my M&P’s I have a little over a half pound difference in the 2 I have. Apex said it’s just tolerances, nothing can be done.
Both good guns.

I didn't sand the whole grip, just the offending parts of one side.
