I'm holding out for the Gen 8.

[@stevesinclair4159]

I have had little experience with Gen's 3 & 4 only that I really dislike the finger grooves which are uncomfortable & impractical for gripping firmly, especially when wearing thick winter gloves. My experience is with the Gen 5 & the grips are comfortable even for a gloved hand & the front slides are IMO a big improvement!

[@jaxfernandez3684]

In my opinion Gen 4 is the most underrated generation. Because of generation 4, Glock became more accessible to people with smaller hands, lefties, and frame improvements were made so that a weapon mounted light didn't crack the frame. We wouldn't have gen 5 without gen 4. Also, regarding the trigger difference: Like any generation of glock, the glock gen 4 trigger will be kinda stiff initially. This is normal. 500 rounds and beyond, the trigger smooths out like glass and becomes light and crisp. Just break her in. Gen 4 ftw.

Hands down gen 4 … if I’m a dishing out $$ for a pistol… I want more pins !!! 💥💥💥😜

Great video.

[@WantedArgonianMale]

Biggest gripe with the Gen5 is the ambi slide release.

[@lilpoppy360]

Great comparison 💯

[@magicd5780]

I never liked Glock until the g5's and now they're turning into my fav pistol. They look so sleek and cool.

Thanks great info appreciate all you do

idk why but my G19.5 shoots way better than my G19.4 did. My Gen 4 was very snappy compared to other handguns. Maybe it was the finger grooves? I didn't mind them at the time but maybe it actually did work against me. Unless they changed the RSA in some way like spring weight or something. Maybe my G19.4 was a lemon too. I did have a failure to eject under normal conditions early on. I sold it only after a few months for a VP9T. So far happy with my Gen 5 except it points high. Cut a backstrap in half and it helped a bit. Gunna try a grip force adapter.

[@NBWDOUGHBOY]

Its all subjective. I personally like the Finger Grooves of the gen 3 & 4. The front serrations are a great addition on the gen 5. Im right handed so I don't care about the ambi slide stop.

[@WhiskeyTactical]

thanks for the video. pretty neat illumination tool.

[@electricgamez5415]

As always another great video.

[@Geth-vk]

After shooting tens of thousands of rounds from both, I slide more towards the gen 5

[@michaeldaltonsr8954]

TY!!

[@tonykirby9574]

It would have been great to explain the fundamental difference between the two plunger shares.
