Glock 17 gen 5 first impressions

[Hatin Since 87]

Havent had a chance to shoot it yet. Does the cut out in the mag well mess with you any? I notice it when dry firing, but not sure I would pay much attention when actually shooting... kinda like the finger grooves on previous gens.

It made no difference to me today when firing it for the first time.

Good thanks. That was my only concern with it I love everything else about it so far. Probably going to range Saturday morning to run a hundred or so through it.

The cutouts for magazine extraction on the Gen 5 will be far less objectionable if you ever need them to get the magazine out after a malfunction (never with Glocks I know haha). I’ve never noticed them while shooting.

I agree. I really like that they’re there, just wasn’t sure if anyone has had issues with them pinching your fingers or not. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time until somebody starts making base plates that will fit into the cutout for people that have that issue, but I doubt I notice it when shooting. Thanks
