I like some Glocks. I currently own two Glock 19s and a Glock 26. Have had several others including: two Glock 30s, a Glock 17, Glock 21 and two Glock 19 GEN5 pistols; those two being the only GEN5 pistols I have owned and that I will probably ever own. Once I realized that detail stripping a Glock 19 GEN5 meant the high probability of losing the slide lock spring and even if not losing it that it would be a major pain in the neck to put back into place, I sold those two GEN5s. Besides that, because Glock was not selling/shipping parts to folks during part of the Covid BS, I had to buy springs on eBay for about $25.00 apiece shipped. Glock refused to send me one even though I was an Advsanced Glock Armorer at the time. When one of the supervisors who works in the assembly room at Glock USA told me he could not send one and that no one at Glock could get that spring back in place easily and that at the end of the day they swept up around 30 of them from the floor, it was time for me to say screw that design monstrosity. I sold the two GEN5 pistols without delay. The two Glock 19s I own now and my Glock 26 are all GEN3 pistols.

Thank you, THANK YOU !
I had been wondering, as we need a couple G26’s now. The LGS Guys couldn’t give a good detailed explanation like yours above.

<>I don't know about that post...I have a hard time believing much of it.
I do like the gen 3's (the model most companies are now copying like mad) bu I also like the Gen 4 and really like my Gen 5 G19.
If I were buying another G26, I'd buy a gen 5. My current G26 is a Gen 4.
If you do buy a G26, buy a few of the Magpul 12 round Glock mags. They are excellent!
Yep.I've put 2 gen 5's through over 30,000 rounds each.
Not once did i feel there was a need to remove the slide stop spring, even after the guns got covered in mud, soaked in saltwater, etc.
The gen 3 and 4 can be assembled incorrectly, and the slide lock spring and slide stop springs are far more durable than the gen 3/4, as well as the slide stop itself

I would generally stay away from gen4s as they were short lived with far less aftermarket than gen3 or gen5.
Unless you're looking for something specific go for a glock 19 or 23, I don't think there's that big of a difference between the gen3 and 5 to matter, either one will go bang every time just hold both in your hands and buy the one that feels better to grip.
Also you are required to shoot 1000 rounds before you even think about buying an aftermarket part for your glock. Golden triggers and fancy cut slides do not make you a better shooter.
Op got band as did testicleoptions
What did the op get the ban hammer for?
