Gen 5 Glocks available August 30

[NWGlockgal]

Just got this note from GSSF:

The G17 Gen5 and G19 Gen5 pistols were inspired by the GLOCK M pistols used by the FBI and include many features the GLOCK community has been asking for. There are over 20 design changes which differentiate our Gen5 pistols from their Gen4 predecessors, including a flared mag-well, a new nDLC finish, the GLOCK Marksman Barrel, ambidextrous slide stop levers, and a grip which has no finger grooves.

I wonder if the slide still comes off when the trigger is pulled?

Doubt it. Gen 3s will still be at a mall ninja premium because the SEALs bought them.

The used $550 Glock will live on.

Lol, yeah exactly.

I wonder how many of those 20 design changes were inspired by earlier models such as the lack of finger grooves ala gen 2.

I had mine before the SEALs (or at least before their announcement they were using them), all four are circa 2008 pre-MIM, no, I won't be selling any of them and most likely won't buy a new Gen 5.

Aw man! You mean I could've gotten $50 more for the ones I sold?

At least! Saw a G23 Gen3, with 5 whole magazines, a bladetech holster and the box for $650 on another site.

G...L...W...S...

As usual we changed everything and what you loved most with interchangability you won't have anymore.
So sell all your stuff at a loss and buy all new stuff at retail plus some because it's the new ish.
