We’ve already mentioned Glock’s various iterations, or Gens, and this being a Gen5 we know that the frame will feature a flared magazine well and no finger grooves, the slide has received an nDLC finish, lefties will appreciate the bilateral slide stop and reversible magazine release, and the barrel is Glock’s enhanced Marksman component. Now those numbers indicate, roughly, the size, chambering and ammunition capacity for a given gun, the G19 being a compact pistol in 9 mm Luger featuring a 4” barrel and 15-round magazine. the original Glock 19 was his 19 th invention. The model number, in this case “19,” was originally tied, sequentially, to Gaston Glock’s personal invention patents-i.e.

Though some contract models do feature a manual safety, most commercial Glocks, including the subject of this review, rely on the company’s Safe Action System, comprised of three passive safeties: trigger safety, firing pin safety and drop safety.
Being a Glock-sometimes abbreviated simply to “G” before the model number-the gun is sure to be a striker-fired, semi-automatic center-fire pistol feeding from a detachable magazine (fully-automatic variants such as the G18 do exist, but are not available to average consumers). Each of the evolutions have been widely reported on by this and other publications, so rather than retread covered ground, this review will be confined to one model-the G19 Gen5 MOS FS-and focus specifically on several noteworthy features.ĭespite appearing to be alphanumeric soup, one can learn a lot from Glock’s model designations. At writing, the basic Glock platform is in its fifth iteration, denoted “Gen5” by the Austrian maker and its Smyrna, Ga., based American arm. Since their introduction in the mid-1980s, Glock pistols have transformed the handgun market for armed professionals and citizens alike, and have become the bar against which other guns are measured, particularly with regard to rugged reliability. And the tighter tolerances maybe not play well with factory parts.Glocks are among the best known and well-proven pistol platforms in existence. Sometimes these slides are simple drop ins but sometimes they aren't.

This is especially true when you get into large scale mods like full slide replacements. This might require purchasing more parts or additional labor to ensure proper function. One large factor that people tend to overlook is that when you tinker with guns, you need to put in the time to make sure everything functions after you're done modifying it. I used to modify my Glocks.A LOT.now I just stipple the frame and add a (-) connector. Yes, that could happen with factory guns too but it’s more common with aftermarket parts. If it’s installed incorrectly, there’s a problem, if both, there’s a problem. If parts aren’t in spec, there’s a problem. I totally get what you’re saying but here’s my issue with aftermarket components (and this is not aimed at your comment specifically so please don’t take offense).anytime I’ve seen an issue with a Glock, it has been because of an aftermarket component. This is definitely an option though but YMMV depending on the pricing and amount of work needed. When you factor in the cost of getting your slide milled and cut and refinished, you're better off just getting another slide IMO. But I do like the many offerings from Zev and Suarez. I have no experience with Brownells slides but personally think they are ugly, so I've never even considered them. Based on my limited experience, I've found that after market slides like Zev and Suarez have tighter machining tolerances, better quality materials, tighter barrel lockup, more color options, etc. you also have to factor in machining and finishing costs and that's why pricing varies quite a bit. There is definitely a degree of diminishing returns and branding plays a part in this equation. If I can pay two prices for the same item, additional money paid doesn't make the item any better. While I can spend whatever I like I am still the son of parents who often spoke of the Great Depression. What specific unique or special features make Zev or Suarez better than, say, Brownell? I am interested in going down this rabbit hole as well.
