Lol.

Got the email...

So, don't look to get rid of my Gen 3 30S, right? Don't know the twenty changes, but nothing they listed seemed to make it worthwhile.

Guess I'll wait until Gen 6 for a chassis system. Or maybe Gen 7...

I am unimpressed too.  Hopefully this makes the price of gen 3 and gen 4 pistols drop.

it looks like a glock...

i thought it was already perfection?

 

Cool, another gun on my don't want to buy list. For some reason that list is much smaller than my want to buy list. 

When he says case of ammo is he talking about 1000?

Already for sale on Combat Armory, $559 with coupon code.

I'll pass.

recoil has a bunch of comparison pictures

In the internals make it look like the trigger bars and striker plungers (and slides) are really different then previous versions. I'm curious, but not curious enough to spend money.

 

edited to add: now that I've seen more pictures of the internals, it is a drastically new gun inside. It is more different then any of the previous 4 gens put together.  I can't decide if that is good or bad.

Will wait for blue label prices. Will probably get one. Just not sure which one

Word on the street is blue label prices go in effect Monday for these

Looks like that to me too.  No more polygonal rifling... A lot of changes internally and no parts interchangeability with older gens... It's going to be something to wait to see how it works out.

They eliminated the finger grooves, made options for better sights, ambi slide stop/release, better finish.  Yet there are still doubters to Glock perfection.

Looks like the only part that will interchange with previous / Gen 4 models is the mag release. And of course sights. The Gen 5 even has new magazines with orange followers, but will still except all previous gen 3 & 4 mags, so you can still use your 33 rounders, err, wait, nevermind. On another note, from sniffing around, seems Glock will only be offering the Gen5's in 9mm, with no current plans to offer other calibers. The Glock 26 in Gen 5 is also a big question mark at this point. 

Something tells me it will still feel like a brick in my hand, so no go for me. If they would just move the palm swell up an inch or so it might not be so bad...

 

Looks like RTSP has them. Someone just bought it.

Just went and held one at RTSP and took it apart to see what makes it tick.  Since actually like the finger groves on the Gen4 and am not a south paw I don't see that it really offers anything over the Gen4.  You will still need to do something to the trigger, and like any new model it will probably have issues and parts will be hard to find for some time.

How was the trigger vs a gen4?

Did not shoot it, but just playing around with it seemed a little crisper.  Still does not compare with some of the aftermarket triggers and no idea if the trigger itself is the same as the Gen4 or you would have to wait to get parts till someone makes them.  In no rush to go out and get one.  First I need a G17 slide to go with the Jager threaded barrel and comp I won yesterday.

Oh the trigger is DEFINITELY different then the previous gens, just from the pictures.

I posted this as more of a laugh.....

I like Glocks...... but this is hard to watch..... I actually feel bad for the guy.....

And to be honest..... I would not expect any firearm to run under these conditions....

That was rough. I wouldn't expect any pistol to shoot either, although if it was Military Arms Channel doing this test, he'd say that the results were unacceptable and will switch to a new carry piece immediately.

Nope Gen 3&4 still the same, this one is about $25 more than a gen 4

True. But gun people always want the latest and greatest. So hopefully there will be a lot of folks selling used Gen 3 and 4 guns at good prices to fund the purchase of a Gen 5.

Once the G5s are readily available, I won't be stocking the G3s in that model. Nobody will want them.

I'm kinda shocked they really didn't wanna add front serrations to the civvy market gen 5 =( I wonder if the angled plunger makes the trigger nicer than the rounded edge plunger from previous gens.
