B_RAD Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Gen 5 is better. Gen 3 are different enough and a large fan base. Gen 4 offers nothing over gen 3 but isn’t as good as gen 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Dumped my 3's when 4's arrived and dumped my 4's when the 5's arrived. Much prefer the Gen 5 Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I’m less than impressed with the trigger in my 19.5. Stacks badly, the wall is more like a foothill. My favorite Glock I’ve ever had was a 34.4 with a DK trigger. If it was an MOS, I would have kept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all I’ve done to my 34.5 and it was a huge improvement. Then again, I’ve only got about 1,000 rounds through a 22.4 and 34.5 total to compare things to.

I love my Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS . it is great trigger, Right at 4 1/2 maybe 5 lb got a nice reset too. I plan to leave it this way because it is also my carry gun. But that said I'm a little confused about the gen-5 Glock 19's. Because I have seen a Gen 5 Glock 19 the only had rear serrations and no finger grooves, and I've also seen the Gen 5 Glock 19 with front and rear serrations and finger grooves. My gun has front and rear serrations and no finger grooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPENB Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Could you be thinking of transition Gen 4s with front serrations? I’ve seen those on Gunbroker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12glocks Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I have been into Glocks for 21 years or so. I never cared for the Gen 4 guns as much. I just got my second Gen 5, a 19 MOS and I have a Gen 5 35 also. I think the Gen 5 are hands down the best glocks of all, accurate with great triggers.

My gun has front and rear serrations and no finger grooves Early Gen 5s had no front slide serrations and a half moon cutout on bottom of frontstrap. Then Glock updated them and now all have front serrations and no cutout. 2 hours ago, Eli_a said: Oh, I got excited for a little bit haha I really hope they add some more guns to the Gen 5 line .40 Gen 5s are coming soon, and then the .40 Gen 4s will also get discontinued. Glock is starting with the 22/23/27 though, not sure when 35 Gen 5 will come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124gr9mm Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Interesting thread. My gen 4 G17 was my first polymer striker pistol. I got the gen 4 because it was the one they had in the gun shop at the time. I like it a lot and shoot it a lot. Is selling the gen 4 and moving to gen 5 something I should do if for no other reason than to stay on the latest version? Id that considered the "normal" thing to do with Glocks? I presume aftermarket parts will be around for a really long time, but I don't want to get caught 5 years from now if something breaks and I have to pay a fortune for parts...

Most of the parts on the Gen4 are interchangeable with the Gen3, and due to states like California they don't seem to be going away any time soon. I wouldn't worry too much about parts availability, who knows what Gen Glock will be on in 5 years anyways? If you want a Gen5, get a Gen5 but your Gen4 is not some obsolete relic now.

I don't think you need to sell. I basically skipped the Gen 4 guns. I still have my old Glocks. I have sold a few through the years like a 24 I never used. I do like the Gen 5 guns the best but I shot a gen 3 last Saturday in a match, mostly because I want to put a dot on my Gen 5 G34 MOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the way this one shoots so I'm not going to replace it unless it stops working properly. Edited July 17, 2020 by 124gr9mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc1974 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I love my Gen 5 model 19 MOS, but mine does not have the half moon cut out at the bottom of the grip and I could have used it last Sunday at IDPA match when a little magazine stuck and it was kind of a b**** to get out.

SV650Squid Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 If you have a Gen 4 that you like, there's no reason to upgrade. Unless you're lefthanded. I sold my gen 4 19 and picked up a gen 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
