Yankee Marshall entertains me, like Yeager I agree with a lot but not everything. But if those were his reasons for not wanting one fine.

Shared blood with my 19s slide today, I do that with all glocks though lol. Amazing pistol, I flat out love it.

FBI sights = Ameriglo BOLD.

The stock sights are, uh, less than optimal... I'm debating Ameriglo Spaulding vs. UC, green vs. orange outline. Thoughts, guys, on these (or self-defense sights in general)?

I like the stock 3 dot steel tritiums, I think the meprolights are the same thing. They work great for me!

I do have the ameriglo hackathorn sights on my g43 though and they work well. 3 dots are my go to though.

Did real well today. Very impressed with the new generation. Thanks Glock for dumping the finger grooves.....only took a decade.

You better than I but yea I felt solid with it and that's something for me and a pistol! Agree on thanking them for the fonder groove loss, much much improved.

Something you may wanna try is turning the lights off in your house and using a flashlight. For me 3 bright tritium dots is a distraction.

I have quite a bit, it doesn't bother me much. Practice with a tlr2 often and the setup works well. Def a good idea to try your setup before it counts though!

If I read it correctly, the FBI/Bold whatever sights are blacked out rear dots with a thinner orange I-DOt Pro front.

I wonder if Esrice has handled one of these yet?

Where has he been? I haven't seen him around here in a long time.

out here in Facebook land with the rest of us, lol

I haven't seen him post anything on it though

Well, looks like holster options may be a "Try it before you buy it" deal. Some kydex stuff is sketchy on the 19G5.

Ooh, that's interesting. Wonder how many are having problems with their old gear?

I wouldn't take his advice on which brand of toilet paper is best, let alone a firearm.

We haven't found a holster that wouldn't work with the 17M yet. Some of them start out rough due to the sights but they break in quickly. I can see where a snug kydex holster might not like the ambi slide stop though.

The FBI sights on the 17M and the bright orange sights available on the Gen5 pistols aren't the same. The FBI sights aren't available for purchase, the only way to get them is to buy a 17M/19M and the only way to buy those is to be a gov't agency. It's stupid and I don't like it.

 

[Vigilant]

As far as the sights being off center on the YM vid, I take that as a feature. The thoughtful assembler at Glock just saved someone two or three whacks, or a couple of cranks to get that POS out of the slide and get real sights in it! Bravo Glock, Bravo!

H317 is the same as what's on the side of my front sight, and it appears to be the same. The rear sight is the same style but a square notch instead of a u-notch. (H315 is what's on the side of my u-notch).

They were offered as the "GL-956" part number, but it's now out of stock and possibly discontinued.

Cary and I can verify that Safariland 7378 7TS works perfectly with G19 Gen 5. I've always really liked that Level 1 retention; this is the reason I gave the Glock another look. Such a terrific way to carry, and you can buy them on Amazon for $35. An absolute steal.

As for sights, I want to avoid a "busy" rear, so I'm leaning toward GL-670 here:

I purchased the gl-201for my g5 19. They're not here yet.

I really like the hackathorn sights but I want to give these a chance first. May end up replacing my HDs on my gen 4 19 because as said above. The 3 dot tritium is too busy for me in low light conditions.

My wife gets ****** when I clear the house with the lights off because im bored.

She really made fun of me when I was practicing shooting from the ground on my back.
