I am a Glock19 Fanboy, and I will never again carry or buy a Glock Gen2-4.
In fact, I have a G19.4 that is milled for an RMR, and I sent a Gen5 to the same machinist (L&M) to give me a Gen5 with the same RMR.
They are that much better for me.
Funny story. I shot a G17.5 last night back to back with my beater G19.4 in Dot Torture, and some drills. I was significantly more precise with the 17.5 in Dot Torture. Other drills inconclusive, and I did not have my timer with me. Stock sights, trigger, etc on both. Different backstraps and ammo.
I’ll have to play with apples vs apples some more on a timer. It is possible I have been wrong all along, and if so, I will miss finger grooves while I eat crow. I’m still not convinced, though, and the difference will have to be worthwhile. It’ll probably be 6 months or more before I come to a conclusion.
