- trigger seriously isn’t better in any of the Gen 5’s I’ve shot.
- zero backwards compatibility as far as parts go with previous gens (lmao massive fail. One of the hugest selling points of a Glock)

I mean seriously dude the list of why the Gen 5 is **** is like a mile long. Glock ****ed up on this even worse than the absolutely horrendously thought out MOS Glocks. And that’s saying a lot.

I'll be getting a second G19 Gen4 eventually. Maybe a FS.

I'm guessing they'll remain in production for at least another three years, so no hurry.

Gen 4 isn’t going anywhere for a looong time. Yes, glock is selling, and will continue to sell plenty Gen 5’s. But for once Glock is getting a LOT of pushback about the Gen 5 - and that’s push back from Gen 1-4 owners who are genuinely Glock lovers. So that’s saying a lot. Nothing they’ve ever released has been this hated. Lol
Except for the first 17’s in the 80’s when everyone said plastic guns were garbage, wouldn’t work, blah blah blah.

How you like it? Made the mistake of putting a couple hundred rounds through a buddy's 16s a couple weeks ago. Now I want one lol.

Yeah the 16S is beauriful as fuark, really like the .300blk too though my matte green krylon camo came out pretty good



The aero 14.5" mid-length is pretty tasty too, great shooter.

It's amazing, stays so flat during quick follow up shots and runs so clean compared to ARs. The stock trigger was pretty garbage but the geisselle super scar is A+. I have a brake on it to help protect the suppressor so it's a real kunt of a rifle for everyone around except the shooter when unsuppressed.

There's a saying about cost of rifle compared to cost of glass floating around...pretty sure it says they could/should be about even

That ratio is of course surely meant to refer to a particular type of setup. My 10/22 does its job perfectly with a ~$30 scope lol. But precision bolt guns and similar, yeah...that gla$$

There's a saying about cost of rifle compared to cost of glass floating around...pretty sure it says they could/should be about even[/QUOTE]I'm aware of the saying. To be honest, repeatability should be favored over glass clarity. If your turrets don't dial and rest properly, clear glass isn't worth chit.

S&B is nearing perfection in both clarity and repeatability. My Nightforce isn't far off of that either, but I've always wanted a Schmidt.

Also to add, it's hard to even match most custom rifles in glass cost, unless you go with certain S&B's, Tangent Theta, or Hensoldt.

My buddy runs a Hensoldt, and holy fuggin hnngggg. That price though.

What you mean you don't want one of the cheap scopes where you can basically hear springs grinding around as you turn and somebody recommends that you dial one past your desired correction, then back? lol

I mean seriously dude the list of why the Gen 5 is **** is like a mile long. Glock ****ed up on this even worse than the absolutely horrendously thought out MOS Glocks. And that’s saying a lot.
Serious ?, if you had zero glocks and you were buying your first, would you not go with the newest? I liked the feel of it. I like how the finish looks. The sights it’ll come with are dope and I really like them.

The first time I held it (I’ve posted my impression and I’ll be honest it was pretty disappointing) I felt my finger digging into the cutout while gripping it and felt like the bottom of the grip was getting wider and wider. Didn’t feel natural or as good as the gen 4 for me. I also stated before that the worry before buying a gen4 (before I knew gen 5 was coming) was that the grip would be terrible for my hands but it fit like a glove. So back to the gen 5, I picked one up yesterday to make my final decision and I was amazed at the feel. I tried different grips to figure out how the fack I thought the grip was horrible the first time.

Overall I’m someone who tries to always get the newest model of whatever I can. I don’t have any doubts with any previous generations, just like with cars, but if I can get the newer, I do.

Reading over your post again, I don’t plan on going back on any parts. I don’t plan on switching out anything on my carry gun. Maybe my opinion will change with time, but I feel like it’s best to leave untouched at the time being.

I know you guys do, and you seem pleased with it, so keep on keeping on.....

But damn I can't imagine spending that much on a rifle and then using factory ammo for it and not reloading.

I feel like with handloading and load testing I can get my $1000 Savage to shoot a lot more accurately than I'm capable.

I doubt anybody in here believes you have enough knowledge and experience to share your haven't-even-fired-one-yet evaluation of a pistol.

But since you don't have a prior gen or whatever else to compare to, and certainly don't have any spare parts or parts or holster interchangeability to worry about, knock yourself out

I'm a spaz, and handloads are only as good as your patience to load. Good match ammo (Hornady ELD Match, PRIME, etc.) is teets. Plus, I save the brass for reloading down the road.


I was able to load a pretty good load for my old Tikka, but the rounds never had an SD better than Hornady Match.


Most of the shooting Frank Galli does on the snipershide videos is with Prime ammo. It's really good stuff.

I doubt anybody in here believes you have enough knowledge and experience to share your haven't-even-fired-one-yet evaluation of a pistol.

But since you don't have a prior gen or whatever else to compare to, and certainly don't have any spare parts or parts or holster interchangeability to worry about, knock yourself out
I don’t think newer is necessarily better. I’ve shot the gen 4. I’ve asked about holsters and most holsters seem to still work with both. My holster I ordered is G2G for gen 5 so I’ll be alright. I didn’t claim to know how the gen 5 shoots nor will I pretend to

I was able to load a pretty good load for my old Tikka, but the rounds never had an SD better than Hornady Match.

I tell myself that I want to learn to load . . . but I don't think I have the patience for it. And I'd be afraid of jacking something up and assploding my gun. Think I'd rather just pay for factory ammo. But who knows. Maybe I'll take it up at some point.

I wanna get into reloading, but I need to sell some stuff in the garage to make space and fund it. It seems like it's be a nice hobby.

But damn I can't imagine spending that much on a rifle and then using factory ammo for it and not reloading.

I feel like with handloading and load testing I can get my $1000 Savage to shoot a lot more accurately than I'm capable.
People used to reload because factory ammo just sucked. It was inconsistent, slow, etc. Today's factory ammo is a different beast. I reload 6xc and shoot factory FGMM for 308 and Hornady for 6.5 Creedmoor. I just bought 500 rounds of FGMM for $390 shipped. After I sell the brass, that's basically the same cost as reloading. But already loaded good enough for me. I don't know how but FGMM is some of the most consistently accurate ammo I've ever shot out of dozens of rifles.

Yes, the case for reloading is still strong if your talking benchrest. But I'm shootings steel targets that are almost always 1+ MOA. So factory ammo is essentially the same cost as reloading and gets me a load that's "good enough". When I first got into long range shooting I liked to "chase the perfect load". But that gets old quick. Now I like spending my time shooting/practicing.
