![]() Taking a view down the slide you have to be pleased with the updated sight picture that you will see. This slide, from outward appearances, is pretty sleek and gives the Gen 5 a more modern look. This reshaping will catch less material as you draw from a holster, it also removes the boxy look that other GLOCKs fall victim too. What GLOCK did do to the slide, was bevel the muzzle, similar to the shape of the G34 Gen 4s. ![]() Functional as they might be, it still works without them. I must admit I was hoping for them, but this is part of the K.I.S.S. Next, you will undoubtedly shift to the muzzle, where you may be slightly disappointed at the lack of front slide serrations. This is just one upgrade that shows that ethos in implementation. In reality, this shows the core of GLOCK’s design, an accurate, defensive pistol. This is not a competition-style magwell that you can fit your entire hand in, but it is ideal for faster reloads, without being in the way. You might also notice the flared magwell. Removing the grooves, was a big step toward GLOCK making a pistol that I can get on the gas and quick-draw from a holster, without sliding my fingers into the right spaces. For me, this is all the difference in the world when picking up a GLOCK. The first change you will see is that there are no longer finger grooves on the GLOCK Gen 5. When you look at this newest Generation of GLOCK pistols you will obviously be drawn to the immediate aesthetic differences from previous models. Outside of the Glock 17 Gen 5 Handgun GLOCK 17 Gen 5 Handgun Here are my thoughts on the ins and outs of G17 Gen 5. Instead, we got the best GLOCK Safe Action Pistols yet to exist. If you were hoping for the GLOCK Carbine so was I. If you think it has to do with the lack of finger grooves your right, it does, but it is also because of how undeniably smooth shooting GLOCKS are. Now after shooting the G17 Gen 5, I feel a change in my heart and my head. Before the Gen 5, I was in love with my SIG P320. In fact, this is the GLOCK that changed my mind. If you think this is comparable to an iPhone release, or a Gen 4.75, I would advise you to think again. ![]() I will tell you all now: out of the box, from the factory, this is hands down the best GLOCK Generation I have had the chance to shoot. I had the opportunity to shoot the newest G17 generation, first at the GLOCK facility in Smyrna, GA and then a whole bunch after. Between the Gen 4 and Gen 5, there are twenty changes in the design of the firearm. Proudly claiming new or upgraded 35 parts, the Gen 5 is almost everything that consumers have asked for. If ever there was a firearms company based around the concept of, K.I.S.S., it is almost certainly the polymer pistol kings, GLOCK.
