Which Gen of Glock 19 are Marine Raiders using?

[Buncheong]

I know the MARSOC Marines have been authorized to use Glock 19, but online literature doesn’t say which Gen.

A couple sources say Glock 19m - is 19m like Gen 5?

Anyone know?

Last raider I ran into had a gen 3 in his holster, circa 2015.

19M is something different.

To my untrained eyes, the 19m pictured in that link looks much like a Gen 5.

What do you think?

G19M and G19.5 are similar, but different.

List of detail differences. Not a clue on how accurate the list is.

I know the MEUSOC Marines have been authorized to use Glock 19, but online literature doesn’t say which Gen.

Not sure which G19 gen. the Marine Raiders are using.

However, your terminology is off. You mention the Marine Raiders and then MEUSOC Marines as being the same unit.

Marine Raiders (MARSOC) are under SOCOM.

MEU SOC (Marine Expeditionary Unit, Special Operation Capable) is under the regular Marine Corps. The SOC part, generally refers to Recon and Force Recon's capabilities. Last I knew both Recon and Force Recon still used 1911's.

So noted and duly corrected - I got the units and their capabilities mixed up.

Sorry for that and thanks for getting me sorted out.

Cheers!

No big deal.
