Wanted to love the G19 Gen5

[dbartromvette]

I feel my gen 5 19 and 19x are the most accurate glocks I own.

I did go to the gun shop and held the 19X and I could see having that as a bedside gun. I just can't get past the color as weird as that sounds. Wonder if it will ever come out in black?

After running our rental pistol a couple of times I bit my tongue in spite of the color and really like the 19X after hi gripping it, swapping the sights for something I could see and a little trigger work. I still don't like the tan but I've accepted it because the pistol points well for me. I had a Gen 5 19 but like most of the comments here I prefer the Gen 3 or 4.
I still don't get the accuracy claims. I don't have any problem hitting 3/4" target pasters at 7 yards with a Gen 3 or 4 pistol but maybe if you regularly shoot at 50 or 100 yards there would be a difference. There's obviously a number of INGOers that are betters shots that I am if they can see the difference.

Holding the glock is a priveledge. You should be honored to be holding such a magnificent piece of Austrian engineering

Put down the bottle you've had enough !!!!!! LOL

Bottle? There is no bottle... A pitcher is how you serve Kool-Aid!

I am with you. My gen 4 19 is just as accurate as any other pistol I own. Admittedly I’m not a pro shooter, but for what I do I don’t think I would notice a difference.

I dont know what it is but I can shoot my other gen glocks side by side to my gen5 and see a difference. I'm not am awesome shooter. I'd say average but I can tell that the gen5 19 shoots better for me. The 19x is awesome too but my gen5 19 is the one for me. I deffinately am not shooting at 50 or 100 yards with it. I guess next time I go to my outdoor range I can try though

The only thing I don't like more about the Gen5 pistols over all previous generations is with the disassembly/reassembly. You've got to hold your mouth right to get the trigger pin out and putting the trigger spring back into the housing can be a bit of a pain with my vision and fat fingers but when it comes to shooting them I believe the Gen5 pistols to be the best they've made to date.

I need to pick a Gen 5 G26 up here in the next month. I should have done that before the shoulder work was done, but dropped the ball on that one.

Is the weird cut out in the grip really noticeable? Thinking about adding one to my collection but wary. Love the 19x.
