Glock 19 Gen 5 Review

About this video

Colion reviews the Glock Gen 5 (referred to as ‘June 5’ due to transcription errors), arguing that Glock makes incremental changes to proven designs and markets them as revolutionary, much like Apple. He walks through the Gen 5’s features—including the DLC finish, flared magwell, ambidextrous slide lock, removal of finger grooves, and new rifling—and shares his mixed impressions of the trigger feel. Colion concludes that while the Gen 5 isn’t revolutionary, it may be worth purchasing for new Glock buyers or those who dislike finger grooves, but existing Glock owners don’t need to upgrade.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that Glock’s Gen 5 represents incremental improvements rather than revolutionary changes, comparing Glock’s marketing strategy to Apple’s approach
• According to Colion, notable Gen 5 features include a deeper DLC finish, flared magwell, ambidextrous controls, removal of finger grooves, and traditional rifling instead of polygonal
• Colion reports that the Gen 5 trigger feels squishy during dry fire but performs noticeably smoother when actually shooting, and he recommends the Gen 5 primarily for new buyers or tactical enthusiasts rather than existing Glock owners
