http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2017/08/25/glock-gen5/
Saw some joke memes of this in the past few days, but appears to be coming out soon. I'm very interested, but prob will hold off getting one for a while.

I guess "Glock Perfection" wasn't so perfect if they had to come out with a new improved pistol. :rofl:

So no other pistols went through improvements over the years? Even your beloved "real man's metal frame" pistols...

1911? not much change in over a hundred years.
Though I do own a glock and it is extremely reliable, I'm just not a fan.

Cool. Gen 4s will be on sale.

You gotta be kidding... I have a Remington Rand 1911 that was used in the Korean War. It's no where near a 1911 from today. I'm no 1911 SME or anything close, but I would argue that the 1911 us gone through more improvement, mods, etc than most handguns in common usage today...
Yeah, the 1911 is produced by many manufacturers, but just look at the evolution from 1911 to 1911A1.

Understand many do not like the grroves. never bothered me, but notice no improvement in the shape of the trigger guard that does bother me.

They never bothered be either. I think they actually fit my hand pretty well. Though personally I do know of many who absolutely hate the finger grooves, even to the point of causing pain. And I'm talking well known instructors and other "working professional" types (and not just recreational shooters like me).
I think most of the updates aren't major improvements in my mind. At least nothing that will have me going out to get one right away. I am interested in seeing how the new barrel rifling performs, though I would guess that I wouldn't notice a significant difference, even if the new barrel did perform better. As in I think my 17s are capable of better precision than I am.
One thing that I've been told is that parts compatibility will also become an issue for those who have a bunch of parts for older generation guns. I don't know which parts in particular, but I would assume that is the case with the ambi slide stop.

Did some research on the Gen 5's. Meh...maybe the 4's will go down in price now lol. Could always add a 17 to my collection maybe this will help nudge me.

I'd tend to disagree. Many 'improvements' made to 1911s aren't really improvements to the initial design, more to make the pistol into something different from initially intended.
Same to say as well with the Glock, I suppose.

You can still buy a new 1911 pistol today thàt is virtually identical to one made 100 years ago.
I suppose the thing that irritates me about glocks besides the trigger guard, trigger weight and triggeŕ nub, is the audacity of their ad campaign touting "glock perfection".
Yeah I know it's just advertising, but if a company claims their product is perfect then why change it?
Àm I starting to sound like a grumpy old man? Lol

That was exactly my point. The original basic operating of the gun is essentially what remains. Not much more. Yes, the operation of the 1911 was amazing at the time and yes, one that many future guns were modeled after.

Yeah, you can buy a 1911 that is pretty close to the original 1911, but that's true of many firearms where there's nostalgic aspect. I'd argue that if Gen 1 Glocks were still produced, that there would be a good amount of folks buying them. From what I've seen, Gen 1s still fetch a premium on the rare occasion that they come on the market. Hell, a friend recently acquired a Gen 2 in an estate sale and that went for a good price. One difference is that like ARs, a bunch of companies started producing 1911s. Whereas only Glock produces Glock and only they control how the base gun evolves.
I'm not arguing that the Glock is perfect. There are many things about them that I think can be tweaked to personal preference and many people so that, and to varying degrees. That said, there are many other companies that have marketing slogans that just go in one ear and out the other.

When I was in high school, my social studies teacher taught us to always have our crap detectors turned on.
Something like situational awareness for words.
So nowadays when I see or hear a commercial on TV, I listen to the claims.
There are a few commercials that I see all the time that bug me.
Some drug commercials are really bad.

That don't count, I don't think Hickok ever said anything bad about a Glock :P

He doesn't say anything bad about pretty much any gun -- not just Glocks. He uses varying degrees of good opinions, but I've never seen any firearm fall short of his standards.
I may have missed one or two of his videos, but that's how I see his reviews. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The Gen 5 trigger is vastly improved, partly due to the new firing pin safety plunger having less of a cliff and also to improvements in the trigger group. We swapped the new slide to a gen 4 frame and could tell the difference the new plunger design makes..... I can't tell you why it took 30 years to figure it out but I'm glad they did lol.
Everyone want's innovation and said that Glock didn't do enough but I can't think of another polymer frame that comes with a factory flared magwell, it's subtle but it makes a difference. It's not going to make up for a lack of training but will increase reload speed for experienced shooters. Is it game changing? No.... is it an improvement? Absolutely.
So the important question, would I replace my Gen 4's with the new gen 5? Nope. Is it a great gun for new shooters or people that were on the fence for getting a glock? Absolutely. Personally I think it's worth the ~$650 it'll end up costing but with Gen 4's dropping to Gen 3 prices that's also an option for the budget minded individuals.

Nice. Looks like I missed out on a chance to try the Gen 5 17 and 19. :(
I'm particularly interested in trying out the new trigger. From what I've seen from online reviews (one of them from LAV) is that the accuracy seems to be improved over previous generations, but it's not like I am capable of maxing out the accuracy of the Gen 4 guns either. But good to have better accuracy potential of the gun itself.
Interesting note about the flared magwell. You'll have an opportunity to test that under a shot timer in about a month. :thumbsup:
While I am certainly interested, at $650, I'll likely hold off. At least for a while. Though this and the deals on VPs right now are really tempting me to buy.

As online reviews go, the new CZ p10c is better, and cheaper.... just saying.

Damn, don't tempt me. . . ;D I "blame" you guys for stoking the fire that ended in me picking up the CZ SP-01 Shadow. . . :geekdanc:
Yeah, I've seen a bunch of good online reviews. MAC and MrGunsnGear I think.
For me, a couple of factors that keep me with Glock is aftermarket support and I already have a lot of Glock stuff. Well, that and I like how they shoot, they shoot "good enough" for me, have been reliable, etc. That said, I have already ventured into PPQs, which don't have that much aftermarket stuff. I have yet to even touch the p10c, but from what I can see, it has a lot of features that I like.

Lol. I'm a CZ fan boy. Never could get turned on by a Glock. I've shot them, hate the grip angle, yeah they are good reliable pistols, but when there are so many other equal or better choices out there....
They have dropped the ball so many times...
When I was in the market for a pocket 9, I fondled a 43. Still opted for the Kahr CM9, I've not regretted the decision...
If not for cRapback, is probably have got a p10c by now.. hehe.

P10, P10c, P320 (maybe not) and VP9 for me. :( Well, maybe 2 out of the bunch.
I've been researching the P10 & P10c a lot lately and I'm getting more and more interested in trying those. While a Glock 19 is still quite high on my list of guns that I want to get, I think the P10c would be good to compliment that addition. At minimum to do side-by-sides with a gun that is appears is supposed to be a direct competitor.
The grip angle of Glocks never bothered me, nor did I really notice until I started reading about how people commenting on it and how other guns "point (more) naturally". I'll have to shoot my 17 and PPQ side-by-side one day and try to notice the difference.
I'm not really a true fan of any gun company. I certainly have my favorites and will recommend some, but it's not like I don't see the shortcomings of any of the brands/companies that I do like. And I am always on the lookout for something better. That's why I am so interested in the P10 series now. ;D

Got to shoot both the Gen 5 Glocks and a P10c yesterday.
I was able to shoot both a Gen 5 17 and then later a 19. I shot maybe 20 through the 17 and maybe 40 or so through the 19. The trigger is nice and the difference is definitely noticeable. Didn't really notice the revised grip either way. The finger bumps on the Gen 4 actually fit me pretty well. Didn't notice the flared magwell much either, but only did a few reloads to see if I would notice anything. From that limited experience, I would say that they are nice, but not enough for me to go out and get one soon. I've been wanting a 19 for a while and when that urge becomes too much to ignore, I'll get the Gen 5. Even if it means that I pay a slight premium over the Gen 4, or what I paid for the Gen 4s that I have.
The P10c was nice, but it didn't floor me. The trigger was nice, but I like the trigger on my PPQs better. The reset also had a weird filling. Sort of felt like something pushing the trigger forward just before the reset. Difficult to explain. Not good or bad, but just different from the reset on my Glocks and PPQ. The grip texturing however was pretty aggressive. Particularly the texturing on the backstrap and sides. During recoil, I could feel it almost trying to rip pieces of skin of the meaty part of my right hand thumb. Similar sensation when I shot the CZ 75 SP-01 Shadow with the grip panels that it came with.

I guess I'm used to aggressive front strap serrations, but maybe not the sides. It's WAY more aggressive than the Gen 4 Glocks. Something that I think I could get used to. Maybe if I were shooting more often.
As for accuracy, they are both plenty accurate for me. The P10c has FO front sights, which was nice. The Glocks had the stock plastic sights. I didn't really notice a difference with the "newer/improved" rear sight look on the Gen 5 Glock, but I haven't really shot Glocks much with the stock plastic sights. If I had to pick which one I shot better, if would probably be the P10c. Both are really nice guns though.

You should get both a Gen 5 34 and the P10c and do a comparison. Since you're interested in both. ;D
One "negative" in going with a different platform is having to buy stuff like mags, holsters, pouches, etc. But if the P10c can use G19 holsters (or at least some of most of them), then that would really be helpful.

I've got 2 CZ's on my wishlist. The P-10 c and a 75 P-01 compact. I want the P-10 c as a $500 option for students and the P-01 for when I feel like carrying appendix lol. My brother in law is going to pick up a gen 5 17 this week, his first firearm so I'll look forward to bringing him to fun shoots to run thousands of rounds through that thing lol....

Nice. Always nice to get new shooters into it. :thumbsup:
I've shot the P-01 Compact, but not much. I do enjoy my 75 SP-01, but mostly for competition and range fun. I am generally a fan of CZ guns though. I'd love to get a plain Jane C 75B one day as well.
