The Gen 5 is what sold me on GLOCK's. Never owned one until I handled a 19x. I have bought several and swapped the first ones with the half moon cut-out. I have settled on the G45.5, G48 MOS and G21.4. May look into a G17.5 MOS for a lonesome RMR06.
Oh BTW, Wife has her G19x I keep forgetting about.

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
but it's still on my list.
The Gen 5 didn’t exist yet when I had already moved on to the Walther PPQ.
Glock's latest revision of the Gen 5 9mm lineup is pretty amazing. Accurate, reliable and super lefty friendly. I have several now that I wouldn't part with and a G19.5 resides in each our our go bags.
A few of my Glock buddies have moved over to the Sig P320 platform. Decades long glock shooters have completely moved over to the P320s, shoots better and feels better to them.
I can't afford to swap all the glock stuff I have over. Something to try out before buying glock.
The Gen 5s do seem to be more accurate to me.
Spent years avoiding Glocks. The Gen3s were uncomfortable in my hands and I was also spiteful of the Glock cultists who told me the only truly combat worthy gun on the planet was Glock. The Gen4 fit my hands better, but I still didn't want to jump on the Glock bandwagon. I tried the 1911, the P229, M&P45, and then decided to go with a 9mm. I considered the PPQ and the VP9, but figured I couldn't pass up Blue Label prices, so I got a Gen4 19. That became my EDC for a couple years and I loved it. Then I got a Gen5, and it had all the little details I myself would have improved about the Gen4.

UPDATE:
Glock has indeed replaced M&P9 for EDC. I now have a G17, a G19, and a G21.
The big G21 is going to be the range toy. I can reload .45 dirt cheap and it will be the fun gun.
I'm going to EDC either the 17 or the 19. The M&P is sold and it's now Glock around the clock. Nothing wrong with it, but oddly enough, even though I've carried and shot the Smith for over 2 years, I shoot the Glocks better right out of the box.
