    Glock Gen 5 question

    I am thinking about buying a Glock 22 gen 5, but then I started reading about the different generations of mags.

    I have a ton of Glock 40S&W mags from prior generations. Will these mags function in a Glock pistol gen 5?

    Previous gen mags will work.

    But the new ones have that bright orange follower!

    I just need it to go bang every time and lock the slide back. I can see if the slide is locked back and I can see if a mag has ammo in it or not.

    But the gen 5 40S&W needs to get a 357 sig barrel and all my old mags need to work

    Fit with older holsters can be an issue if the .40 is like other Gen 5's.

    They are interchangeable.
    The gen 5s dont seat easily in a gen4 WITH a magpul magwell.

    If you use extended mags (full aize mag in a compact), then 0 issues. The mag body is the same, floor plate and ambi slots are the only difference

    The old mags will work. You’ll need new holsters. The slide on the Gen 5 .40 is wider than the 9mm. It won’t fit in holsters made for previous Gen .40s.

    As long as you are not reversing the mag release previous gen magazines work fine.
