Glock Gen 5?

[G33]

I've heard that Gen 4 magazines will fit in the Gen 5!

They should as they are already ambi ...
Don't think Glock would go the Apple changes for the sake of changes route

Haters all over the world will state how not much has changed.. Hell, i was in that boat too, but lost confidence in my SIG after recent happenings...I had to take back my words. As long as its reliable..

Agreed! I dont care whether it hasn't changed much, I just want to enjoy shooting it and in life threatening situations I want it to work!

Still the same sights, would of thought they could be upgraded by know.

There is speculation in the US that new Glocks will come with these...

But then that could be the US only, who knows. Again, speculation.

I remember the leaked Gen 5 invoice had AMGLO on it, so maybe in the US there's an optional model with those Ameriglo sights ? Interesting stuff.

17M/19M & Gen 5 changes from the Gen 4 pistols include:
-no finger grooves
-flared mag well
-ambidextrous one-piece slide stop lever
-front of the slide is rounded to match the Gen 4 subcompacts and long slide models. But pics don't seem to show the frame being beveled to match.
-land and groove rifling instead of polygonal
-Gen 5 barrel has a target crown (FBI 'M' guns don't)
-same style firing pin safety (angled instead of flat) as the Glock 43
-return to two-pin frame due to a redesign in the locking block that removes the need for the third pin.
-slide lock spring similar to Glock 43
-return of cutout on bottom of front strap to assist with stripping magazine (such as due to a double feed)
-tougher finish applied to the same Melonite metal treatment process
-the upper cartouche, the flat area on the upper right grip area that show where the pistol was made, has been moved down and combined with the lower one, which contains the patent number
-Mags have an orange mag follower
-Mags have extended front lip
-Mags have a slightly rounded base plate (bottom front edge)
-There are no front serrations, as some people claim, or as some photoshopped pictures suggest.

Thats a significant update. Especially the barrel and magazines.

Is this not the same gun the produced for some USA state department? The flared magwell and no finger groves rings a bell.

[The Beast]

Some really nice changes. I particularly like the flared mag well and the new barrel.
Would have liked to see the front serrations done as well.
