New Glock G45

[VIP3R 237]

Are there any plain Gen 5 G19’s with front slide serrations and no front frame cutouts available yet ?

Closest you can get is the gen5 19 mos

I picked up mine on Thursday. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get to the range to try it out yet. Sure feels great in the hand and the trigger on my example is better than my Gen5 19 or G19x. The rear sight is perfectly centered. I hope to be able to provide a range report as soon as I get back home.

Only way to come close would be to buy a G19.5MOS and G45, then swap the slides.

Not remotely worth it to me, I like my G19.4 and just put a G19.4 FS slide on a converted G23 frame I got from an LE trade in batch.

But once the offer a plain jane G19 Gen 5 without the cutout (FS are a take it or leave it with me right now), I'll be buying.

Still waiting.

They should just change over all Gen 5 19s to no cut out, it’s universally disliked.

Your statement is 100% incorrect.

I'm still on my old gen3 from the early 2000s. Have no reason to buy a new one since they don't offer anything different. Although I have thought about the 5 for it's ambi controls

All mine glocks are Gen 2.5/ Gen 3 and a Gen 2 ish 24.

What is very surprising to me is that none of the popular YouTubers or respected review sites that I have seen even mention this change at all. At the very best they tip their hat to the ejection pattern.

Can anyone think of any other handgun on the market that jams up if you don't powerstroke the slide when you go to eject a live round?

I can make any number of pistols “jam” with all poor weapon manipulation techniques including limp dicking the slide. Worrying about some obscure scenario where you’re somehow able to manipulate the weapon but unable to do so in a way tjat corrects your specific malfunctionnis goingnto apply to all firearms. Also I can’t think of too many reasons to clear a loaded chamber in any kindbof non-admin setting. The new Glock breech face design is a huge step in the right direction and corrects BTF, weak ejection, and ejection consistency keeping brass from hitting your RDS. If for some reason you can’t deal with the new spec there is no shortage of old Gen 3 and Gen 4 models to keep you happy.

At first, I couldn't see why this would be preferred to a G17, but now it occurred to me that this would be a good suppressor host or the basis for a Roland special.

That about covers it!
