Re: Glock generation 4 and 5

I’ll admit that I’d like some of those Gen 5 features that it has over the Gen 4s. Although I’ve gotten used to them, getting rid of the finger grooves is a long-overdue improvement; and as a lefty, adding an ambidextrous slide release to the already ambidextrous mag release was the right thing for Glock to do. I do like the beveled slide on my G26, but that feature is less important to me than the others. I like what Glock has done with the Gen 5 guns, but not enough to run out and buy a new one just to have those features. OTH, if I ever find myself in the position of buying another Glock, I’d be willing to pay a little bit more for a Gen 5 - just like I had to do to have a Gen 4 over a Gen 3.




TAM you should pick up a 21. That’s my favorite Glock other than the 19. To me it’s the sweetest shooting Glock and I love the one we have. I owned a 30 and it was okay but I never got around to really liking it.
