GLOCK Perfection Pistols and other Products

Fifth-generation models
Glock pistols chambered for the .45 GAP (and the .45 ACP) feature octagonal polygonal rifling rather than the hexagonal-shaped bores used for models in most other chamberings. It moves rearward in recoil until it is tilted below the slide, similar to the standard locked-breech system. Glock pistols chambered for the .45 ACP (and the .45 GAP) feature octagonal polygonal rifling rather than the hexagonal-shaped bores used for models in most other chamberings. The short glock 19 for sale frame models were not introduced for the Gen 4 and Gen 5 models, as the replaceable backstraps design makes a separate short frame version redundan


I really like this new finish and the aesthetic it delivers. The result is a darker and, reportedly, more durable finish. It is no mistake that the Glock 19 sets the standard for size to capacity ratio in the pistol world. Most holsters made for concealed carry are made poorly are not configured to properly angle the pistol to aid in concealment. I wear a Glock 19 with a light in appendix position every day and never have a printing problem. Malfunctions I have experienced none in ~4,000 rounds with my Gen 5 Glock 19.
Customizati


A mid-life upgrade to the Glock pistols involved the addition of checkering on the front strap and trigger guard and checkering and serrations to the back strap. These early Glock (Gen 1) pistols (serial number prefix AF through AM) were also manufactured with a barrel that had a smaller overall diameter and thinner bore walls, later known as "pencil barrels". The French Armed Forces (FAF) in 2020 began replacing their MAC Mle 1950 and, to a lesser extent, their PAMAS G1 pistols with Glock 17 Gen 5 models specifically made for the FAF. After firing 15,000 rounds of standard ammunition, the pistol was to be inspected for wear. The pistols are also noted for their high magazine capacity relative to their weight and their resistance to corrosion, originally achieved through a ferritic nitrocarburizing surface treatment known as Tenife


I’m used to the grip snugging up to fill my strong hand and now it feels different. Having shot a lot with Gen 3 and 4 Glocks, I find the lack of finger grooves notable. The Gen 5 brings very little that is new to the shooting experience, with 2 notable exceptions. So if you’re a lefty, switch the mag-release to the right and you have a fully-left-handed pisto

The dimension from the top of the slide to the bottom of the accessory rail is slightly greater on the Gen 5 than with the Gen 4. The grip texture is identical to the Gen 4 and is serviceable, unless you have wet or bloody hands (therefore, be sure to stipple your Glock if it is a carry gun). Perhaps because of this change, the frame is very slightly wider and very slightly taller than that of the Gen 4. The Gen 5 Glock 19’s largely unadorned slide comes in black Melonite finish that is then treated with an nDLC coating. There are some who disagree and find the G19 or any Glock pistol to be just fine without this slight modification work. This anomaly went away after about 1000 rounds and never did impact the performance of the gun.
Would a Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS be a good first gun option?
The slide has the superior GLOCK hard-surface nDLC finish in non-reflective black. The slightly different frame dimension can present holster-compatibility issues is you have a mounted light. Note, however, that the slide-stop spring is no longer a leaf spring, but rather a traditional compression spring (which is very hard to install once disassembled!). None of the previous-generation Glock OEM or aftermarket triggers will fit the Gen 5. This means that your gun will probably be too tall to fit into a hard (Kydex) holster with a light.

Every G19 Gen5 features the match-grade GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) delivering increased accuracy with polygonal rifling and an improved barrel crown. It comes with front serrations (FS) which provide an additional tactile surface choice when manipulating the slide giving the operator positive traction even with wet or sweaty hand. The GLOCK 19 glock 19 for sale Gen5 pistol in 9 mm Luger is ideal for a more versatile role due to its reduced dimensions. If you’re interested, but not sure if the Gen 5 if for you, rent one and put a few rounds through i

ALL PISTOLS
In 1980, the Austrian Armed Forces announced that it would seek tenders for a new, modern duty pistol to replace their World War II–era Walther P38 handguns. In October 2025, Glock announced a major "right-sizing" initiative, ceasing production of over thirty variants to streamline manufacturing and introduce redesigned components to mitigate full-auto conversion. This led to lawsuits filed by the states of Minnesota and New Jersey in 2024, and legislation in glock 19 for sale California in 2025 (Assembly Bill 1127), aimed at forcing design changes to prevent such conversions. The widespread adoption of the design has made the Glock rise in popularity and a subject of gun control debates.
First-generation models
The striker firing mechanism has a spring-loaded firing pin that is cocked in two stages that the firing pin spring powers. This camming action terminates the barrel's movement while the slide continues back under recoil, extracting and ejecting the spent cartridge casing. A ramped lug extension at the base of the barrel then interacts with a glock 19 for sale tapered locking block integrated into the frame, forcing the barrel down and unlocking it from the slide. During the recoil stroke, the barrel moves rearward initially locked together with the slide about 3 mm (0.12 in) until the bullet leaves the barrel and chamber pressure drops to a safe level. Glock plans to replace the discontinued models in December with "V" designations after the model numbers, which will feature redesigned trigger bars and rear plates designed to prevent the use of full-auto switche
