Gen 5 Glock 17 and 19 reality
...for LEO...pre-orders for Gen 5 17 and 19's are live.
...sold my gen3 19 and was going to order one of the OD Green 'Summer Specials', but then saw this.
...not sure I want to be a beta tester, though. ...and still thinking VP9 or PPQ M1 as well...

You mean like when perfect Glock perfectly realized they perfectly used the perfectly wrong perfect spring on the perfect 9mm perfect models on the perfect Gen 4s?kokopelli wrote:...for LEO...pre-orders for Gen 5 17 and 19's are live.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Manufacturers need to learn, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
In my opinion VW should still be producing 1968 style Beetles.

Re: Gen 5 Glock 17 and 19 reality
Crazy how similar the VP9 and PPQ are. I love them both and I probably shoot them better than any out of the box non-1911 based 9mm pistol made.kokopelli wrote:...for LEO...pre-orders for Gen 5 17 and 19's are live.

Nah, just playing around with the Glock Perfection thing, always found it a little bit pretentious. Actually have nothing against Glocks, I own one and actually like itkokopelli wrote:wow, harsh!WLJ wrote:You mean like when perfect Glock perfectly realized they perfectly used the perfectly wrong perfect spring on the perfect 9mm perfect models on the perfect Gen 4s?kokopelli wrote:...for LEO...pre-orders for Gen 5 17 and 19's are live.

Pretty sure all the tooling was bought by a company in Mexico and they still produce them new. Don't know if its actually true but there were tons of them there when I went down a few years ago and most looked new.Toddstang wrote:Manufacturers need to learn, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Yea Mexico still builds them or they did last time I checked on one of our MFG sheets at work. Those cars were built to last unless you live in the rust belt.

Eh, I'm still rocking all Gen 3 glocks... with the exception of my 43 and Gen 4 26. So the Gen 5 doesn't do much for me, but the the removal of the finger groves is nice.

"pre-order" as in blue label sales for LEO's, or departments can order to "issue" to LEO's?kokopelli wrote:...for LEO...pre-orders for Gen 5 17 and 19's are live.

Going to McDonalds for a salad is like going to a prostitute for a hug.
