    Question Which Gen of Glock 19 are Marine Raiders using?

    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.

    G19M and G19.5 are similar, but different.

    SOCOM fields the Gen 3 and yes, this includes MARSOC. The Marine Corps purchased Gen 4's for an operational need in 2017. Rumor has it that the Corps will be transitioning to the Sig M17/M18 in the near future

    Knew a 1st Bn Raider vet... his favorite sidearm was a Smith M1917 he got from an Aussie. Times have changed.

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