I like gen 4 but never had a 5.

Flave you have a PM

Buddy picked up a Gen 5 G19 right before all the covid crap started. I got to shoot it, very nice pistol! Prices have gone up and I'm a cheap bastid, so don't have one yet!

Flave is that a 19 MOS at top? I wouldn’t mind a 19 MOS Gen 5. How is that barrel?

34, 17, 44 from top to bottom.

I don’t think I could outshoot the barrel on either of the 9’s.

Maybe on the 22. Grin...

Where are the videos of the Miraculouse event? I are heaving in anticipation of the anticipated miracle. Let the videos come. We are prepared to witness greatness in videoed form.

I got a Gen 5 G19 a few months back. I like it a lot. I need to pick up a kydex IWB. Leather IWB is pulling moisture through in summer weather.

Anyone handled a Shadow Systems MR920 Combat?

Clark,

How’s the G44.

Is all the hate on the internet BS?

This is great stuff...

Do you have the new work gun yet?

I’ve mostly switched from M&P’s to Glocks due to the changes in the gen 5’s. Right now I’ve got 3 of each but I haven’t carried an M&P since I bought my 19 and got 500 rounds through it.

I am with you MM, SIG and others have made a better mousetrap, the sig320 trigger in the x carry gun is very good, the p365 triggers are very good. Having tried gen 5 triggers at the LGS, I did not feel any marked improvement over the gen 4 trigger, i.e. it breaks and then slams into the backwall resulting in less than optimal condition when the bullet leaves the case. Just my opinion, if covid crap was not here I would rent one and try it.

In my opinion yes.

I have had no issues with mine at all and I can use the same holsters and rig as my others on the range.

Love it.

While I agree that Sig triggers are great, I don't think dry firing a Glock at the gun counter provides much info.

I don't work.

I bought a Gen 5 17 and it fits me better than my Gen4 31, but my favorite is the G4 21.

I had a little time to burn a couple of weeks back before meeting a friend for lunch and thought I would hit a couple of gun shops. I have been wanting a Glock after having one of the first Glock 40cal. that came out years ago. Walked into a small shop and the owner was just unpacking two Glocks and putting them in the show case. He had a 43x and a mdl 48. The shop owner said he had waited a month for these. Everyone is buying them up with the Covid19 mess.
I had been reading about the 43X and asked to see it. It fit my hand like a glove. I haven't paid too much attention to all of the different models of Glocks for years but this peeked my interest.
He said if I bought that 43X he would throw in a 15 Round Shield Arms magazine that had just came out. I was sort of on the fence about the pistol and he told me that if I didn't get it, it would be gone before the end of the day. We finally struck a deal and I was out the door. I really like the feel, and slim shape. I'm not one for all of the high capacity magazines due to the weight but the 15 round mag wasn't so bad. I have put about 200 rounds through it so far and it is a dream to shoot. I had been carrying my Walther for several years and how I have two good carry guns to decide on when I leave the house.

McLura,

That 43 is on my radar.

Thanks for posting.

We must have a VIDEO of it as it is used to pummel the pummeled. As the minuscule atomic hand held cannon is touched off and the mushroom cloud is sent skyward the people round about will know the Miraculose Farce has been unleashed.
People will run screaming take cover it is bigger than large and larger than huge. Woe unto us we are doomed.
