    Default Re: CHOICES GLOCK 19 3RD Gen Or Glock 19 5TH Gen ?

    Gen 5 no finger grooves, various back straps and wider mag release. Supposedly a better barrel and revised trigger.

    There may be a difference in finishes.

    Do they have any rounds through them?

    I am having the same debate with getting a Glock 23. Not sure on the G19 gen 5, but the G23 gen 5 has a slightly wider slide dimension and I am worried it won*t fit in my present holsters.

    Other than that, it seems to be personal preference. And maybe some $$ difference.
    I have Gen 5 19s and a Gen 4 G23....I prefer the G19G5 due to optic ready, but fall time I might carry the G23 with a 357 Sig barrel swap...

    The Gen 5 does have accuracy and trigger improvements I had a Gen4 19 and I could tell the difference.

    I agree there is a difference from earlier Gens...

    Agreed. I had ghost connectors in my Gen 2 and 3. Don't feel like I need them in my Gen 5.
