G19 Gen5 MOS 9x19mm Review

Overview of G19 Gen5 MOS

The G19 Gen5 MOS GLOCK improves the appeal of the near-perfect Gen5 model by incorporating the benefits to the modular Optic System (MOS). The slide is precisely manufactured to offer mounting options for the most popular optical sights. With numerous adapter plates it is possible to swiftly and easily add small electronic sights to back of Gen5 GLOCK slide. It features forward serrationsfor more efficient and faster manipulation.

All of the Gen5 qualities are present in this compact-size pistol: The latest GLOCK nDLC surface finish on the major metal components, unmatched in hardness and rust resistance; the high traction Gen5 frame texture, quickly reversible magazine catch, ambidextrous slide stop lever, the GLOCK Modular Backstrap System (MBS) for individual operator adjustability, the universally-acclaimed GLOCK Safe Action(r) System and high visibility orange magazine followers.

The gun was struckr-fired that gave it an unidirectional trigger pull. It was quite different from the usual double action single-action triggers that were common during that time.

Concealed Carry

At the time the concealed carry wasn't so common across the United States as it is now. As time passed, however concealed carry became more prevalent within America. United States.

Glock 19 was introduced in the year 2000. Glock 19 was launched as a smaller model from the Glock 17 with a shorter slide and a smaller grip.

It was at the expense for two round of capacity.

It was easily concealed, yet sufficient to be used as a duty gun with an OWB duty the holster. It was the Glock 19 one of the first guns with a striker fired firing system to fill the gap.

Through the years, there has been many Generations of Glock.

First Glock to hit market in the US market was Glock 17 Gen 1. Glock 17 Gen 1.

History

There is a rumor that there could have been Glock Gen 1 19s but I've not been capable of verifying this. There's a wide selection of Glock 19 Gen2s available on the market.

There's also a lot of Gen 3 Glocks as well as Glock Gen 4s in 19 configurations.

The distinction between the generations is usually minimal, especially from an outside perspective. For instance Gen 2 Glock Gen 2 didn't have finger grooves. When they launched their Glock Gen 3 they added finger grooves, as well as a light rail at the back of the cover.

Then, when they launched the Gen 4 they added the possibility of adding additional straps behind to make the grip larger. grip.

They have changed their grip base to make it a little smaller than the original Gen 3.

The Gen 5 was no exception to this standard. Gen 5 was the Glock 19 Gen 5 they removed fingers grooves. Finger grooves were present in the Gen 3 and Gen 4 models that went back to the grip with a solid design that was present on those Gen 2 and Gen 1 guns.

Differentialities

One notable difference in Glock Gen 5 was that Glock Gen 5 was the texturing was more aggressive in comparison to previous generations. It's about halfway between the previous models in comparison to that of the Glock Gen 3 RTF 2 texturing.

One of my top features is that they have added their Marksman barrel.

It's more precise than the standard Glock barrel, and eliminates the necessity for an aftermarket barrel. If you're looking to make your gun look more appealing or to get a threaded barrel.

If you're planning to add an elongated barrel I'd recommend looking for an Glock OEM barrel since the Glock Marksman barrels are so excellent.

Features

Glock 19 Glock 19 is an handgun with a capacity of 15 rounds. One of the most appealing features of this Glock 19 series is it can take Glock 17 mags.

It is compatible with various Glock extended magazines as well.

For Glock OEM, they make 24 round magazines and 33-round mags. There are two extensions for 15,17, 24 and 31-round magazines.

The 31-round magazines are supplied with an extension of two, which means that you can claim that they're 33-round magazines.

Thus, capacity options of Glock 19 are unlimited. Glock 19 are not limited in any way.

There are many aftermarket producers who produce magazines and other products, so you're not limited with only Glock magazines.

Magwell

The normal Glock 19 Gen 5 comes with a grip that features a cut-out for a half moon at the back part of the Magwell.

In theory , it will aid in stripping out the magazine more easily.

If you've got some kind problem that needs to remove the mag it's an excellent idea.

Personally, I don't like this option on Glock 19Gen 5. Personally, I like that frame to the Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS frame because it does not include the half-moon cutout. Both frames feature a huge beveled Magwell in the middle inside the frame.

This is an incredible aspect that puts this Glock 19 Gen 5 well over its competition in the speed reload class.

There are numerous Magwells that are aftermarket for the majority of guns available.

The factory Glock 19 Gen 5 magwell is superior to nearly any other magwell.

Additionally, you won't have to invest any money at all.

If you are planning to shoot a contest like USPSA which has rules for including an aftermarket magwell, then a model like Glock 19 Gen 5 or Glock 19 Gen 5 will fit the bill. Unfortunately Glock Gen 3 and Glock Gen 3 and Glock Gen 4s don't have this amazing Magwell.

Grip

If you look on the internet, you will see a majority of people discuss how much they hate their Glock 19 ergonomics.

Glock feels quite blocky.

Ergonomics

It is true that the Glock may not be the most comfortable in your hand. However, I would admit that the absence of grooves for the fingers is a huge improvement against those of the Glock Gen 3 and Glock Gen 4 guns.

Backstraps

The gun comes with four backstraps that can be removed that are a medium and large, and the medium and large which adds a beavertail the gun.

The backstraps are affixed to the typical small-sized frame which means you have many options to choose the way you'd like to adjust the grip that is right for your hand. In regards with Glock ergonomics I would say that the majority of people think Glock too much time when they use the gun.

The gun's angle is made to shoot when under stress which is why it works extremely well in situations of defense.

The majority of people would like to see an angle that resembles the 1911 model however the majority of striker-fired firearms available currently have adopted a design closer to Glock's angle. Glock design angle.

Many 1911 lovers will take these other striker fired guns and boast that they shoot better than Glock Glock or that they have more angle than Glock. Glock however the reality is that when you compare both side-by-side they are like the grip angle of a Glock.

For instance, if you take a look at an example of the SIG X series, the grip angle is nearly identical to Glock guns.

There aren't anyone slandering SIG X frames. SIG X series of frames but they do criticize the Glock guns.

Although Glock isn't the most comfortable when held however, what it does is allow most users to have lots of leverage from the gun.

This means that you should put sufficient pressure on the front strap as well as the backstrap to ensure that the gun is controlled in recoil while shooting.

Do Feeling good matters?

In time's end it is the most crucial characteristic of guns.

There are plenty of firearms that offer an excellent grip feel however, they can be a bit off and do not permit shooting as easily as you'd like.

Another grip that's quite large and slender is the grips of 2011 style.

You don't hear anyone complain about them. A large part of it is the price as people who purchase a firearm that costly will have to figure out an excuse to justify their purchase.

However, another reason is that most of the shooters shooting these guns are professional competitors who know how to use leverage in the proper areas in the grip of a gun.

One thing I enjoy about the Glock back straps that can be removed is that they let you increase the range of the trigger on the gun.

For those with larger hands , like me this is a fantastic option as it gives you an improved, more consistent trigger pull.

If you're a smaller fingers, then this firearm might not be the ideal choice.

I have medium-large size hands, the average size for a man who is 6 feet tall. If you're someone who's smaller and shorter or just have hands that are smaller overall it's a good idea to consider a new model such as model like the SIG P320X Compact.

This gun is smaller in size and gives you to have more control over the grip for those with smaller hands.

One of the nice things about one of the nice things about Glock can be the beavertail and tang that comes with it.

Drawing

It's very ergonomic and is suitable for most people.

Although the lower part of the grip can feel somewhat blocky and squarish but the top is extremely well-rounded, allowing many hands to climb very high up on the gun without feeling uncomfortable.

Personally I'm not a fan the beavertail straps on the back in the same way that they make it slightly more difficult for me to draw using my drawing style. I prefer to hold the gun over the sight on my back when drawing using the holster of my Glock 19 appendix carry holster.

This can slow you down when you must overcome the beavertail too.

However, the beavertail is able to create some distance between the hand's web and the front of your trigger. Also, I really appreciate the extended reach of the trigger.

The jury is still out on which one I'll pick long-term over the huge backdrop with no beavertail or the back strap that is large that has the beavertail.

Texturing

A texturing feature on Glock Gen 5 will likely be a topic of debate.

The reason I'm saying this is that it's quite frequent for people to purchase new guns and then decide to get the stipples custom-made. Most of the time custom stipple designs look fantastic and can really enhance the appearance of a firearm. However, I'm not convinced it's necessary. I've was able to get an one of my Glock Gen 4 guns stippled.

It was a great experience at first however, over time, the job stipple wears out. If you frequently dry fire shoots the stipple jobs is likely to last for about one year before you have to get it replaced.

According to me, the finest texture that was ever created came from that of the Glock RTF 2 texturing.

It's tiny micro dots, which were used on Gen 3 guns, but it did not gain a lot of respect on the marketplace.

Gen 3

It is true that the Glock Gen 3 guns were pretty smooth, unless they were equipped with this texturing, however the majority of people thought this texturing a little overly aggressive.

However, the texture did begin to wear off as time passed and made it easier to hold against your body. And it was extremely effective while shoot the weapon.

You can purchase an Glock Gen 3 with an RTF 2 finishing and it does not move when held in your hands.

It's really a good texture that really lets users to shoot with a poor grip, yet shoot efficiently.

Glock 19 Gen 5 texturing Glock 19Gen 5 texture isn't much more aggressive than the RTF 2, but it's nonetheless quite active. It's also one of the top texture jobs that are factory-made available.

It's not as impressive as the CZP 10C texturing, which I believe is the top on the market.

Aggressiveness

However, it's quite great. It's likely to last for a long time, if you give your hand enough bite to not wear out.

However, it's also soft enough to cause irritation while using the firearm.

The overall feeling that comes from the Glock 19 Gen 5 grip isn't the same as that of other guns if you're seeking the overall feel but it will give you that ideal leverage over your firearm, making shooting very efficient.

If you're a big fan of Glock ergonomics, to start with, you'll be awed by Glock 19 Gen 5's Glock 19 Gen 5 feel and ergonomics.

If you're not then you could consider it slightly better than those with Glock Gen 4 and Gen 3 guns.

Sights

You have a wide range of sights for this Glock 19 Generation 5. The most notable thing is that they are equipped with typical plastic Glock sights, also called slot fillers.

They're referred to as slot fillers because you'll probably need to replace them once they arrive.

Personally, I like the option of a slot filler since I have my own personal preferences and what constitutes the most effective iron sights. It's also my preference to buy the gun for as little as possible to be able to upgrade them to iron sights.

However, if you're looking for an arsenal gun which is equipped with the best Iron sights.

Glock has you covered and the gun comes equipped with AmeriGlo sights, too. These AmeriGlo sights are among of the most effective sights available in a factory firearm.

I'd recommend putting my money on Glock AmeriGlo factory sight options among 5 of the best guns with upgraded iron sights made by the factory.

You can most likely find a local gunsmith to swap out the sights, and there are more sight options for Glocks than for any other gun on the market.

MOS

One option you could look at is adding an red dot on you Glock 19 Gen 5.

If so I'd suggest purchasing an Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS and adding an CHWPS plate fitted to the gun, or you could get an ordinary Glock 19 Gen 5custom milled.

If you are planning to pursue this route I'd recommend purchasing your slides separately from your frame. This way you can buy frame that is a Glock 19 MOS frame.

This Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS frame is a lot superior to the normal Glock 19 Gen 5 frame.

The reason for this is the cutout at the frame's front. This is the only noticeable change, but that cutout is what really bugs me.

It is possible that you really enjoy it however I'm not aware of many shooters who actually do.

It's true that the Glock 19 MOS does come with mounting plates. However, it's likely that you'll have trouble getting the correct screw length, and also managing the entire setup.

Also, I'd suggest looking at the options available on the market, as they're believed to be of better quality and will ensure your experience is more secure.

A number of users have complained about issues regarding the Glock 19 MOS plates and many others are shooting thousands of rounds with no problems. A plate that is aftermarket from a reliable company, like the one previously mentioned is always a wise choice.

Controls, safety features The only safety that is in this Glock 19Gen 5MOS outside is the trigger security.

It's to keeping the gun secure and is common Glock gun safety that is triggered. We've spoken enough about that, and most people are aware of what they are and how they function.

Controls

Glock 19Gen 5 Review Magazine Public Release

It is mounted to the left of the firearm to accommodate shooters who shoot right handed, however it can be reversed, meaning you can change it to the opposite side.

The mag release factory comes with is fine, however, you will need break your grip to access it, at the very least I do that with my medium to large hands, which is why I believe the majority of shooters will.

It's sharp at the top and it's nearly completely recessed into the frame.

There are many alternatives from a variety of top businesses to replace this component.

The past time, when using Gen 3 Glocks, I've felt it was necessary to swap the magazine release straight immediately as it was too deep and was precise.

It was difficult to use. I believe that it's time to upgrade. Glock Gen 5 is a huge improvement over the previous model and also that of the Glock Gen 4 frankly.

Therefore, I don't see any reason to replace this release with the Glock 19 Gen 5 magazine release. It's good to have options that can be upgraded and you'll likely be happy to have an upgraded mag release.

Stop slide

Glock is marketing their Glock Gen 5 19 in the US as with a slide stop but it is not actually a slide release as well as the Glock Academy as of the last time I checked, has always instructed people to manipulate the slide with the slide instead of making use of the slide stop in order to lower the slide.

The majority of us will end up using the slide stop in itself.

I'm aware that I personally like using a slide stopper to lower the slide rather instead of damaging the slide.

A very nice aspect of Gen 5 Glock Gen 5 is the slide stops are ambidextrous , and they appear identical on both side. Gen 5 Glock 19ambidextrous slide releases Gen 5 Glock 19ambidextrous slide releases are suitable, but they're far from excellent.

They're not too slick.

If you don't know a method that works then you may have difficulty dropping the slide. The slide release is inserted inside a cutout on the left-hand edge of the slide.

That's why it makes the slide lock back, and makes it simpler for shooters with right hands to lower the slide, as opposed to shooters who shoot left-handed due to the leverage.

However, shooting with a left hand will not experience any issues dropping the slide onto Glock 19 Gen 5. Glock 19 Gen 5. Glock sells slide releases that they utilize for the Gen 5 Glock 34 that is a great addition to your 19 if are able to find the most powerful slide stopper.

However, there are many options for aftermarket products.

Glock 19 Gen5 Review of Overall Ergonomics

The user-friendly features of Glock are very great. There's a good chance that lots of people oppose that claim.

The majority of shooters I've observed aren't the most skilled shooters.

Even those who hate Glock or are enthralled by Glock typically shoot the guns with great accuracy, and I've seen a number of people go to classes using guns that are thought to be ergonomically superior.

When they're presented with the Glock the gun, they can shoot it better. Glock might not feel as comfortable in your hand however it allows you to have the right leverage on the gun.

If there's a single area where I'm able to be unhappy about the design of the Glock 19Gen 5 it's that slide.

Serrations of the slide aren't all that brutal. And , depending on the version you choose, you might only have the rear serrations.

Glock has variations that have both forward and rear serrations. However, the serrations are the same across the entire slide. They aren't as sufficient or sharp enough to my liking.

If your hands were sweaty, wet or you were bleeding, then you may struggle to move the slide using the smooth finish that Glock utilizes for these slide.

It's possible to fix it If you're willing to pay the amount to have the slide milled to your specifications.

Trigger

A trigger for the Glock 19 Gen 5 in my opinion is certainly one of the most impressive characteristics of the gun.

Many have been complaining about Glock triggers. This time Glock numerous triggers, though not the most impressive from a dry-fire perspective can be very effective with live-fire.

The trigger comes with a nice roll break and is a nice feature I would rather have for a firearm that is designed to be defensive.

Glock 19 Gen 5 Review Trigger Pull

If you are on the trigger you'll be filling some heavy take up prior to reaching some sort of wall, and then from that wall, you'll feel a some creep when it enters an elongated break. It's a great trigger for the factory Glock trigger. It's also lighter than you'd expect.

Does it have the potential to be a tampered-out competition-style trigger? No, but it's perfect for defensive scenarios.

A lot of excellent shooters I have met who like to complain about Glock triggers are having a tough time boasting about Glock Gen 5. Glock Gen five trigger. I'd recommend Glock Gen 5, Glock Gen 5 or a Gen 4 or Gen 3 to use the trigger on its own and not even including the other amazing features it provides.

Then, starting from the reset to the reset, the reset trigger on triggers on the Glock 19 trigger will be quick and positive. It goes back to the initial wall, where you feel the slight creep when you are in your rolling brake.

I cannot say enough positive words about the factory trigger.

Rail

One thing I'll need to note regarding one thing I will need to mention on the Glock 19 Gen 5 is the rail. The rail of the Glock 19 Gen 5 is an Picatinny-based rail, while the older Glock rail was more of a private.

They're very comparable, but they're not identical, but the Glock is on is a bit taller. Glock Gen 5 rail is slightly taller from the perspective from the bottom of the rail , to above the slides.

It could also alter the compatibility of your holster, particularly in the case of lights on your gun, Kydex or leather holster typically flexes enough to fit the Glock 19 holster with just the rail.

However, if you want to add an additional light to the mix most times, you'll need purchase a holster designed specifically for that gun or one that is designed to fit both Glock Gen 3, Gen 4 Gen 4 as well as Gen 5 variants.

Glock 19 Gen 5 Review Aesthetic

Glock 19 Gen 5 Glock 19 Gen 5 is an Glock that you can choose either like the style or not in any way.

I do believe they're prettier than older Glock versions However, it's the same Glock.

Shooting

Its Glock 19 Gen 5 is an extremely reliable performer on the range. Shooting with this gun is a absolute pleasure. It's a very smooth shooting gun, and tends to have a slightly more recoil felt than other choices.

However, the recoil is straight back, and the slide re-cycles extremely fast, which makes it simple to follow up your shots and maintain a steady rate of firing.

Personally I consider it to be one of my most-loved shooting guns.

It's not as easy to shoot as that of Sig P320 series, but it does seem to be a little more quickly.

The majority of people who pick up the Glock do not know how to hold the gun, they could face certain issues.

If you are familiar with how to operate the Glock Gen 5, it is the Glock 19Gen 5 will serve you well.

Personally, I feel that I've seen an improvement in accuracy with using the Glock Marksman barrel. A lot of people would say I'm crazy however it appears to be a significant difference.

Shooting this gun at distances of 75 and 100 yards isn't a problem not at all.

It's an extremely precise handgun that is simple to shoot, and I'm unable to think of any other improvements I'd like to add to the gun other than the red dot.

This Glock Gen 5 MOS has everything covered in that area. Overall, this gun receives my highest recommendation. Tell me what you think of Gen 5 Glock 19 Gen 5 Glock 19 in the comments section.
