The ones on the rear do not work for you?

nolaradio · Aug 28, 2017

I wonder who will have them in stock for the tax free weekend starting Friday.

JBP...
Yes my rear serrations work fine for my sling shot reloads...
Would just like front serrations to assist with press checks.
And looks like the deepened the rear ones for the 5s...
A step in the right direction.

Interstate told me they wouldn't know until the weekend. Various industry websites have said the release date is August 30. Kind of surprised me to see Grab A Gun offering them for sale today.

I was expecting to see them retail for more. I guess the price isn't too bad considering the going rate for a Gen4 online is $549.

I'm gonna wait till holster makers start producing gen5 holsters to buy one.

Saw a video review that said most holsters would work with a sight adjustment. Don't remember the brands the guy showed though. I'll have to find the video again.

Correct some will some won't. I'm pretty sure most of mine won't work "mostly" because of the ambi slide stop.

I also like to keep spare parts on hand and I'm sure those won't be readily available for sometime still.

I really like everything about the gen 5 and will move to them at some point but just not in a huge hurry to jump on it. I did the same thing when moving from the gen3 to the gen4 and by doing that I never delt with a single gen4 issue that some other people had.

That's nice to hear they are already becoming available. I didn't expect to see them for a month at least. From what I saw most holsters will be compatible. The only thing that would be different is the ambi slide release so you may have to notch that out if it doesn't fit.

I'm just curious as to what the in store prices will be locally. I'll probably wait a while too for them to work the kinks out. I'm not much of an early adopter when it comes to new products. Maybe the price of the Gen4 pistols will drop some, but they probably won't. Seems like Glock is like Apple when it comes to controlling the pricing.

I just wish more of the part interchangeably would have stayed the same "but it may be for the better". I expect gen3 and gen4 used gun prices will drop a good bit because of people selling them off to get the gen5 "but I don't expect the new gun prices to change much".

SO now its not interchangeable grips,and its wider and bbl is shorter,no finger grooves.
Makes absolutely no sense to do this.

I think it is a sad attempt to get new buyers ,considering they didn't get the military contract.
I would imagine gen 3 and gen 4 will only go up now.I just don't see anyone wanting something
that changed that drastically. Especially finger grooves,width,and less accurate due to shorter
barrel.SAD!!!!

When you say "no interchangeable grips" are you talking about the back straps like the gen4 Glocks? "If so I'm pretty sure the gen5 Glocks have them also".

The removal of the finger grooves is gonna make this gun sell like crazy "many people hate the finger grooves".

Do your homework.
No finger grooves is an improvement for most shooters.
Width of the pistol has not changed other than the dual slide stop.
Barrel length is the same.
The Gen 5 pistol is slightly more accurate and has a better trigger.
Will be the best G19/G17 Glocks ever made.
Many new improvements to the Gen 5 models not listed here.
