Thought I'd pass on an FYI. The gen 5 trigger really does feel smoother and crisper. All the other upgrades didn't impress me enough to feel warm and fuzzy about the higher price tag. But you may feel differently. The new trigger will swing a lot of buying decisions, I think. The Gen 4's are at $539 and the Gen 5's at $599. Great group of employees there as well.

I've had my Gen5 for about a month, got it for $569 at a LGS in Hillsboro. I do like the trigger and the lack of finger grooves.

Day late and a dollar short! I'll blame it on retirement!

I think the biggest thing is the lack of finger grooves on the .5 as more than a few folks don't care for them. I actually like them and enjoy my G19.4 with no desire to "upgrade".

I'll keep my G19 Gen 2, just cuz I'm an old skool kinda guy...

Besides, with its decrepit Mepro's at less than half life, I can still snuff out a dinner candle at 30 paces and never damage the candle...

Or at least I could a couple of years ago

Ft Lewis and McChord had a couple Gen 5 19's and 17's. I didn't think I needed a Gen 5 but I was wrong and brought one home.

The Glock 17 Gen 5 is a great gun. You can get them at Northwest Armory or Fisherman's Marine for $559. That's without Night Sights, but you can find sights cheaper online and install yourself. I agree that the trigger feels a lot smoother than previous models.

I had a Gen5 G17, played with it for a few weeks, traded it for a new Gen4. I prefer the more defined wall of the Gen4 trigger. It may not be as smooth, but I find it more predictable.

I think every Glock has its own personality. My absolute favorite Glock trigger is my Gen 4 19 with dot connector. It has a very definitive wall and clean break. I have a variety of other Glocks from Gen 1 to Gen 5 in all flavors of connectors, and they are all a little different. My Gen 5 trigger is a decent offering and my worst trigger is on a non dot connector Gen 4.
