    Gen 4 runs flawlessly no reason for a Gen 5… cosmetics , fingerless, flares and ambi controls don’t change anything much and I’m a lefty. I’m content with my Gen 4 and trust it.

      I was looking online and some sites have the GEN four priced $60 higher than the GEN five. I am left-handed too. Doesn’t make a big difference to me.

    people keep bitching about the sights, yes you should get metal sites installed, but just so you know, you can get really good off those plastic sights. its called practice. In my opinion, buy the Gen 3 and Gen 4 till Glock sorts out the 5.

    Hate to be that guy, but man there are some serious safety issues and training scars in this video. First, whoever that dude with you at around the 11:20 mark needs some serious safety training. He was strait up waving a weapon around on the firing line. Second, noticed a major training scar on your reloads, looked like every single time you ran dry, you would stop, strip the empty mag first, then go for the fresh magazine. When the slide locks to the rear, bring the firearm into your workspace (eye level), while ejecting the magazine. At the same time, support hand secures and indexes the fresh magazine and brings it up to re-load. Finally, and I know there is some debate on this, but a striker fired weapon is not ideal for appendix carry. When you re-holster with a firearm that has a hammer, you can tell if something is caught on the trigger by placing your thumb on the hammer during re-holster. Not possible with a striker fired, which is important due to the vital equipment/arteries located below that type of carry.

    I discovered that I wanted a glock 19 for my personal firearm, working towards daily carrying. After watching your video, I have learned that I prefer the finger grooves of the gen 4, but I also like the mag modifications and the curved nose of the gen 5. Ultimately, I decided to go with the gen 5 glock 19 because the things that I don't like about it are much easier to personally modify than the things I don't like about the gen 4. For example, I would prefer to have finger grooves, so I can easily add rubber finger grooves to the gen 5 to fit my hand. Thank you for educating me on the glock 19 and helping me make a more educated decision in my carry choice.

  • @donaldcooper808
    @donaldcooper808 6 лет назад +4

    seriously, this dude must not shoot a lot, the Glock 19 gen 5 ..is our number 1 seller to law enforcement. ..and I understand why after I trained with it on a day to day basis, at this point in time the Glock 19 gen 5 is the best gun you can own for self defense or duty carry, but don't take my word for it, just ask your local law enforcement agencies, they will tell you the Glock is tried and true, and the new Glock gen 5 exceeds all exception of a battle gun.

  • @jamestaylor833
    @jamestaylor833 5 лет назад +1

    The sights are not off, Glock sights are setup that way on purpose, I see lots of people complaining about this and was curious myself as my own G45 rear sights are offset. The automated system Glock uses to test fire, selects sight height and rear sight placement based on the test fire results of each Pistol. So if they are off its intentional. The test result is based on the results of a 5 shot placements from a fixed position at a 25M distance.

    @jc-vc7xq 6 лет назад +2

    I disagree. I’ve tried a lot of these newer designs like the VP9 and M&P and so on and they really don’t put bullets down range any better than the Glock. All the slide serrations and other esthetics don’t really mean anything when the shit hits the fan. I carry a gen2 g19 hat I’ve had for 25 yrs now with over 100,000 reds through it. I’ve had very very few mishaps with it. When all these other guns develop that kind of track record maybe I’ll give more consideration.

      Mark Chambers I'm with on the m&p , I own two of them there great . But on that note , glocks are awsome! They will never ever be great in regards to cosmetics , ever . They are just a tool period , yes we all love great looking guns , pistols and or long guns. But glocks just like 1911 have years and years of military / law enforcement and civilian use , that no other handguns have. Yes there are plenty of handguns out as of now that are great , from sig , to h&k , to s&w , Walther, fn , beretta , but they just don't have the Trac record. That doesn't mean there lesser or glocks or 1911 are better , but there proven . And from experience , and my children and my family in the military and law enforcement, 1911 , beretta, and glock and also sig there Trac record is hard to beat. Let's see what the p320 does in the future and everything else of current up to date makes and models do in the years to come. If your trained and I mean anyone trained with firearms and shoot thousands of rounds in ever type of scenario, you can use any weapon and take care of business. And or just for the fun of the sport we have as gun owners. I'm not here to come at you at all , we're all brothers in the firearms industry and let us all enjoy are freedoms and rights in america! Burn some brass , and get after it.......... p.s. the m&p s are sweet I love mine , and there much more comfortable too shoot and hold , but man or man give me a p226 , a 1911 , or a glock any day for a go to war sidearm and or home defense weapon any day any place . I need to see more years from all the other handguns in regards to a Trac record ........ have a good one , be safe , and shoot save...........

      Steven Werth Then they need to start putting good sights on their guns out of the box, and undercut that damn trigger guard for a better purchase, especially when wearing gloves! But they just refuse to do these things that the consumers want! They would rather have us sink two or three hundred dollars more into an already over 500 dollar gun, and don't care! That's ridiculous!! There are many other pistol manufacturers out there that are less expensive and have all of the features we like and are of good quality. Screw Glock!

    Glock's QC had gone to sh*t over the years. When I bought my Glock 26, the feed plate in one of the magazine was misaligned out of the box. The front of the recoil spring sticked out of the font of the slide on the first slide rack. I was extremely disappointed with Glock's Imperfection!

  • @jbrannon509

    Whenever I buy a new Glock, which is at least once a year I go ahead and budget to buy sights too that day. I like Big Dot and Trijicon. I don't own a Glock with factory sights. I don't know why you'd take a Glock back to a gun shop simply because the rear sight needs a little tap with a wooden dowel.

  • @leoguy1609
    @leoguy1609 5 месяцев назад

    If you have a Glock 19 Gen 4 you really don't need a Gen 5. That's unless you just have to have one? There's no difference between the two when I shot them and any changes made were insignificant in my opinion. Newer doesn't mean better and often is just a sales pitch. If I'm 30 feet or less away from the target, I don't need my rear sight. I do agree that Glock sights that come standard with the firearm sucks.

    Thanks for the video! I don't own a Glock 19 but I would like to purchase one. I've seen a video of a comparison between the barrel coatings on the Gen 4 & the Gen 5 and the Gen 5 had wear marks that seems to have gone through the coating but not on the Gen 4. The wear marks were very slightly visible on the Gen 4 but definitely not as bad as the Gen 5 and the Gen 4 barrel had many many rounds put through it. Do see this same thing between the two yet? If the finger groves were not bothersome and you don't care about the plastic sights, would you still recommend the Gen 5 vs say the Gen 3 or a Gen 4?

  • @radiohobbyist13
    @radiohobbyist13 6 лет назад +1

    I was a Glock guy for a couple of years, the G19 being my favorite. But I have to admit that Glocks are boring and ugly. The crappy plastic sights were the icing on the cake. So I got rid of them ALL. As long as Glock continues to ship guns from the factory with those sights they won't get my money. I went back to a revolver, I can't believe how much better I shoot. Lesson learned.

  • @FrontierSetter
    @FrontierSetter 7 лет назад +2

    The science behind sight picture, the U notch or field goal Glock ships with is the worst for acquisition and accuracy. The back is too large and distracting and its harder to find the middle when the U distracts from the front post. It's much easier to line up the front sight with 3 dot and 2 dot sights. I'm sure Glock fanboys will tell me different, but it is what it is people. I'm glad you brought this up.
    Almost every gen 5 review has a right bumped rear sight, as you said, QC issues... c'mon Glock we expect better especially with your price point and competition. The unbeveled front frame is definitely a lack of attention to detail. Gen 5 seems rushed in my opinion.
    I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I do like the boxier look of the Gen 4 and prior. If it's a block, keep it that way. I honestly don't think reholstering is that much of an issue. Not sure why they left the front serrations off the gen 5. I guess people just mill their own slides anyways. But the new magwell and removed finger grooves is definitely a plus.
    Thank you always for your honest reviews!

    Good review. Thank you.
    My thoughts on the the Gen 5... On a firearm produced by a company with the advertising slogan 'Glock Perfection,' I find it absurd that a customer must do what is essentially the final inspection before purchase. Should a buyer look over any pistol for flaws? Yes, of course. I do with any brand, but it seems like Glock has slipped far when it comes to QC. For example, there is no excuse for a rear sight being so far out of alignment as has been observed.

    Thanks -- useful info, well done. I have a Gen3 G19 which is, like these, fine; not great, mind you. I swapped out the sights, the connector (to 3.5#), the mag release and I find I shoot it both well and quickly. However, it's not the best fit for my hand so it's nearly relegated to WROL status right now. It's been eclipsed in my heart by my VP9's (yes, plural -- both the full size and the SK). I did NOTHING to those out of the box and feel no need. So when it comes to trading in my Gen 3 for a 5 (that will need tweaks), I say, "no thank you." I may break down and get a new lower for my Gen3, though (uh-oh...more tweaks). A more truthful slogan for Glock would be "a good package of compromises" but perfection?!?! Bah.

    It's mind boggling to me that Glock for what ever reason just refuses to upgrade their design with an undercut trigger guard and good sights! Everybody hates those sights! Why would you spend 500 some odd dollars for the gun, then another 200 bucks for new sights!? That's crazy!
