    Over at JGO, we got a few Gen5 glocks in (17 and 19)... They have a great feel to them... finger grooves are gone, ambi slide release, divot for Magazine removal (looks like a wider magazine base plate too, but I could be wrong), Magwell, tapered front slide... some say the trigger feels lighter, but personally it feels the same to me. I believe the sights are metal now also... not polymer.

    I was hoping they would do serrations on the forward area of the slide... but no dice.

    **UPDATE ** - Sights are more narrow (but still polymer). Magazine has an orange follower and a wider base plate, however regular Glock mags will work just the same.

    My only complaint is I wish they wouldn't have beveled the front of the slide OR at least they could have beveled the frame to match "like the G-30".

    The front of the slide is beveled... like the G30, G30s, etc. Personally, I wish they would have put serrations on the forward part of the slide.

    True... I was correcting the Slide reference... the frame is not beveled... but I thinks that's a little knit-picky to be honest. :)

    I never said the slide wasn't beveled. I said I wish they wouldn't have beveled it "OR" I wish they would have beveled the frame to match.

    I still don't understand what needed to be corrected in my post ;).
