Glock put a lot of time and research into making their fifth generation a step above the rest, so it’s only natural to assume that they want your gun looking razor sharp at all times as well. In the past, were you a little too cautious with your Glock so that you don’t cause any cosmetic damage to the slide? Well, with the new line of Glocks, being...
One of the more major upgrades to grace the Gen5 is the improved barrel design known as the Glock Marksman Barrel. According to Glock, this new barrel system continues using the same HEX riflingthat made other Glock models accurate, but there’s a slight difference. The GMB design has tighter tolerances when compared to other Glock models, which is ...
Let’s face it, there’s always going to be complaints about Glock’s grip. It’s probably the main thing that the company has struggled to master, even after grips have come a long way from the ugly, boxy designs of the older generations. With that said, I like how Glock removed finger grooves from Gen5 models. For people who had the perfect hand size...
I’ve got great news for all of the southpaw shooters out there.

And while it may not seem like much, for left-handed gun owners, this does a great job making the G17 and G19 easier to handle.
Just like their predecessor, Gen5 Glocks come with a reversible magazine release button that works from right and left-handed grips. But with the Gen5, Glock decided to up the ante and make reloading even easier by modifying the magazine well by giving it a slight bevel and flare. The reason Glock decided to modify the magwell wasn’t for looks, it ...
Along with those major changes we’ve covered, there are also a few tweaks here and there that Glock included to ensure that the Gen5 lives up to the Glock standard of excellence. For starters, when choosing sights for their brand new Gen5 Glock, customers have the option between the brand’s traditional plastic sights or AmeriGlo night sights. In ot...
For Glock lovers, the idea of being able to take an already excellent gun and turn it into something better sounds unfathomable. For everyone else, Glocks are usually seen as great guns that have a few features that can be annoying or inconvenient. It’s these people who Glock primarily appealed to when coming up with the Gen5, which is why most of ...
