Gen 5 Glocks Aug. 30

[Carson]

Anyone know why the Gen5's only have one reinforcing pin in the frame?
They have always used two....

Because what was once old, is now new again.

[glocknurse]

because the Gen5s are only available in 9mm and the 3 pin system was added because of the additional abuse from .40 S&W.

I shot the Gen5s yesterday. They were about the same as you'd expect. I think the trigger is truly improved. The biggest thing I noticed was that without finger groves the grip texture is really lacking. I think grip tape or stippling would be a must if I bought one of these.

My shop has 17's and 19's. Nice looking / feeling gun. I like the non finger groove grip. The new finish is nice I think. Rifled barrel - guess the FBI wanted rifling vs the poly barrel? I am in no way a barrel expert but I have always found any gun with a polygonal barrel is extremely accurate. Guess you can shoot lead now .......
