New glock next week?

[sparky32]

Not that I need anymore G19s or G17s but....ill be picking up one of each if they do. I have very large hands and don't mind the grooves but would like a no groove frame.

Buy a new G5 G17 and sell me a G3 G17.

Everyone crying about finger grooves, just fill them down...


Happy with my RTF2's but always cool to see new stuff hit the market.

So it's like when Apple releases a new phone that is basically the same as the previous phone?

If this is a rebadged 17M/19M you will find the following changes from previous generations....

Same trigger configuration as the G42/G43 (upscaled)
Same firing pin safety as the G42/G43 (upscaled)
Flared magwell
No finger grooves
Ambi slide stop
DLC coating
Chamfered nose on the slide
Longer recoil spring than previous 9mm pistols
Different rifling (combo of polygonal & traditional)
Thicker RSA tab on the slide

If....

Single stack .40 lol. Why in the hell,would they make a gun very few people would buy? People, police, feds, are dumping their FO-tays like they're a mullet. You can buy police trade in gen4 glocks in. 40 for $300, and even less for older gens.

i think you hit that idea right on the head. I dont see a company releasing a new product that is based on a round that is getting phased out in most cases.

 

[Trigger Time]

Buy a new G5 G17 and sell me a G3 G17.

They still make and sell new gen3 17's. You shouldn't pay more than 400 for a used one. They're here all the time for that just have to be quick

Thanks for laying it out. I want one so bad. I doubt that glock will sell something exclusively to the police and not the market but it is glock and they are dicks.

I'm quite impressed with the 17M. If it is a rebadge, I'll probably be in the market for a 26 at some point, maybe a 19. The only thing I would change on the "M" is a bit more aggressive texture.

 

[longbow]

It's a ceaseless 9.5 mm handgun based on the g19 with ammo pre-loaded in single use 18 shot magazines. That is the only to way protect the ammo. The ammo/ magazines are shipped 10 to box or 900 rounds to a case.

 

[MCgrease08]

It is supposedly the Gen5 Glocks. Should look similar to the one submitted for the Army trials.

Don't any of you read the free "American Rifleman" the NRA sends every month?

It may even come with a lanyard loop on the grip. Tacticool!

 

[TacticalFun]

I need one

Glock would actually publicly release a model with a thumb safety? Isn't that like.....blasphemy?

If this release is what I hope it is, I will have a Gen 5 G19 on order the day they are announced. I believe the 17M is the best pistol they've ever produced and I want a compact model.

Thanks for the first hand feedback. Now I'm really REALLY excited. I'll have a 17 and a 19.

I'm conservatively excited about this pistol!?! I too will order a couple 3 19's, as well as a 17, maybe two. I recently picked up a 34, and would probably buy a Gen5/MHS/GenM clone of that as well. (Ceptin' for the MHS stoopid switch, don't want no dang'd off switch on me gat!)

 

[phylodog]

Yeah, a thumb safety would kill it for me, I don't suspect they'll have them.

Lucas Botkin the owner of trexarms said he got to go see and shoot the new gen5 recently and he said while he couldn't talk about it, it wasn't anything super exciting for him at all. He said just very minor little things here and there, which almost sounded like a gen3 to 4 jump with maybe less change...

I just want the RTF2 to come back in the GEN4 frame (read big mag release and minimally smaller thickness) without finger groves! I feel like that would give me everything I could want out of a glock pistol... I'd buy at least two 19's and at least two 17's set up like that.
I feel like that is what everyone is trying to accomplish with all of this aftermarket stippling and stuff. Other than the fact now I feel like half of it is just people who think it looks cool which is funny on its own.

I really hope they release fde mags with these glocks. I want some fde mags with my fde glocks

I'd buy FDE mags for sure. I wonder how long it'll take to get a full FDE gen 5 from lipseys after glock releases them.
