This is the exact model I currently own now. Such a nice pistol, best version of the 19 IMO. I’ve owned Gen 2s, 3s, and Gen 4 19s. This is my favorite Gen because no finger grooves and also the front slide serrations. All the upgrades and changes reminds me that Glock is the apple of the gun world.
I personally don't care too much about aesthetics as long as it's functional and serves a purpose. In my opinion, the front serrations do serve a purpose so im more than okay with it
@@lilricemuncher09 Yeah your a gun nut but it's cool I know from you perspective you turn off or even enrage some of your subscribers if there super anti 2a
I work law enforcement and have come to love and trust Glocks. I love almost all firearms and own a lot of them. Out of all of the firearms that I own, several are Glocks. The department that I work for uses Glock 22 handguns with Glock factory night sights. A Glock 22, is chambered in .40 S&W. I have trained with them for 13 years and counting and some of our range Glocks have well over 50,000 rounds through them and are still on all of the original components that the firearms came with from the factory. Glocks are unbelievably reliable and durable. I have never had a Glock malfunction at all and I have trained with them in every environment and weather. Even in below zero temperatures. I’ve covered my Glocks with water, snow, sand, dirt and mud and they still function. With the Glock shown in this video, I have the virtually identical Glock 19. Mine in a blue label, Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS with the Ameriglo night sights from the factory. Mine also has front slide serrations and the half moon cutout gone. The only difference with mine from the one in this video is that mine is a MOS model. Or what is referred to as a Modular Optic System. Or what is more commonly known as a red dot optic sight that mounts in front of the rear sights. With a lot of people buying firearms right now due to the global pandemic, if anyone has any questions and has bought a firearm but doesn’t know how to handle them safely or are thinking about buying one and has questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help anyone out that has questions.
Hey, thank you very much for your comment! Honestly, seeing people like you come through inspire me to make more videos regarding firearms. There's a lot of people in the gun community that are very caring and eager to help. I've seen some really cool people come through and sometimes even more than my gaming videos. I get tired of seeing some people in the media and the uneducated paint a different image of gun owners and those that support our 2A rights. And thank you for sharing your first hand, personal experience with Glock. I do get some keyboard warriors coming in on a regular that bash Glock and push other firearms. I don't think there's a one size fits all gun but Glocks check a lot of the boxes and i don't think you can go wrong with any modern Glock. It just does what it needs to do.
Lil Rice Muncher Gaming, thank you! I have always loved firearms. I was born and raised in Southern California. I will always love and miss the “Home” that I grew up in. My family and I moved in 2003, because the State was passing so many unconstitutional laws and we finally had enough and left. It’s heartbreaking to see what the State has become now. And is getting a lot worse. I love the firearms community and love our freedoms, liberty, and rights. I love encouraging or helping others that either have that interest too, or simply want to learn. I also enjoy civilly debating others, that disagree with me on this subject, and/or who have believed the lies, false narrative and propaganda that comes primarily from the left.
I forgot to add, keep making more videos. You’re doing great. I’m not a real big gamer but do like games based on realism or are made with reality in mind. The first 3 Splinter Cell games will always be my favorite games. I also like a lot of the earlier Call of Duty and/or WWI and WWII related games. Some of the newer games based on reality are good too. I thought Ghost Recon Wildlands was pretty fun. I’ll have to subscribe to your channel, and learn about more gaming stuff.
I had a discussion the other day with a close friend who is left-leaning and she mentioned that Cali itself was one of the worlds largest economies. I read all these articles that tried to imply this was a victory of leftist policies but it gets more complex than that. I hear so much about unconstitutional laws over there. Not interested!! Lol I'm glad there are those like you that are willing to have civil discourse in these topics. Thank you very much for what you do, keep it up, and once again, thanks for your comment!
Honestly, I made this video and didn't expect the reception that I got so I will continue to drop more for sure. Appreciate you whether you subbed or not. :)
This is my every day carry. I'm 180 lbs and 5'9. I always wear a thin undershirt to protect my skin. The handle projects thru my shirt a little bit but I work at a CBD shop and maybe 3 people in 3 years has audibly recognized it.
I have this same exact model too. Love the updates on this version of the 19 Gen 5 - and the Ameriglo sights are fantastic. Better than the Trijicons imo. Great review, probably the best review I've seen of this pistol on YT!
I appreciate it! Before the end of the year, I'm going to start a firearm channel and specialize in some unboxings with a lot of the important details.
@@bobkloth57 Thank you so much!! I would appreciate that. I keep talking about it but for sure in the next month or two, I will launch a gun channel and make it happen!
Another difference from the first batch of gen5, is the polymer body under the muzzle wasnt initially cut like the front of the slide (the thing that makes holstering the gun better). Now the polymer followrs the new shape.
Thank you for pointing this out!! I actually went over this in the video but did not know at the time that the first gen gen 5 (lol?) didn't have the frame bevel to match the slide's. I'm updating the video description right now. That was very helpful. Thanks again!

I think there must’ve been a ‘.5’ release or something because my Gen 5 19 *does* have the half-moon and *does not* have front serrations - but my polymer frame under the muzzle *is* cut to perfectly follow the contour of the front of the slide.
I own my Glock 19 for 30 years. I was NYPD and I have carried it for 10 years OTJ and 20 years in retirement. Awesome gun. I own a Model 26 which is a great compliment to the 19 as you can put the 19 magazine in your 26 if you are carrying the 26 as a backup. The guns don’t jamb! My son bought the Glock model 45 which has a larger handle, shoots real nice.
Awesome! I just got mine! I got the G19 gen 5 MOS yesterday and added the Holosun Red dot. It took me a long time to find one due to the high demand, so I was super stoked to find one. Can’t wait until ranges open back up.
“You can’t go wrong with a Glock.” Generally true, but the grip angle took me a bit of getting used to (years ago). I recently ordered a G-19 Gen 5 Ameriglo as a companion for my Gen 3. I was unaware of the 5S update and was pleasantly surprised! I like front serrations for chamber checks and I’m glad they ditched the front-strap cutout. I like the G5 stock checkering but could do without the flared magwell. It adds thicknes and serves no real purpose on a gun with a tapered magazine. I like the finish, but I’m skeptical ANYTHING can hold up as well as the old tenifer. My G5 trigger is alright, but it stacks more than my G3; perhaps it’s just sample variation? The G5 mag release is just long enough and probably won’t need an extended replacement like the G3. The Ameriglos are great; front sight pickup is fast; I like them as well as TruGlos, but for different reasons. I never thought the Gen 4 differentiated itself from the Gen 3 in any meaningful way. The Gen 5 does.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I like the grip texture of the G5's as well but I just recently put on some Handle It gun grips on there so it doesn't matter anyway. I do appreciate the flared magwell personally.
Has somebody who used to work in the military and i go on shooting competitions regularly i want to emphasize the importance of the front serrations. While racking the slide the front serrations shave half a second. I am only considering buying guns that have that feature however i do find that on most guns front serrations are way close to the muscle the perfect placement of those serrations is done on the CZ 75 sp01 shadow.
@@bobratu9029 I have carried a Glock 19 or 23 for work reasons and as a ccw for 20 years. I picked up a gen 5 with the cutout, and put it right back down. I hated it enough to not buy one also.
I know this is an old video, but maybe someone can help me. Is there a place that breaks down these numbers? I just bought a new Glock 19 Gen 5 and the number is PA195S302MOSAB. It has the AmeriGlo sights and MOS for mounting a red dot. It only came with 2 additional backstraps, both with beaver tails. I wonder if I'm missing the other 2 or if they just stopped shipping with them. Also, do I have the 4.02" Marksman barrel ? Do they all ship with that now? Oh, and you did a great job on this video.
Dude, get a good weaponlight for it! I highly recommend the Streamlight TLR-8. It fits flush with the muzzle of the 19, and it has a laser in addition to a 500 lumen light that also has a strobe function. It's a solid weapon light for the money, weighs almost nothing and it's quite bright.
thank you for the suggestion. A weaponlight is actually on the list. I'm more interested in the light and not the laser combo. I have a streamlight hlx 1000 lumen on my AR 15 and I LOVE IT. I bought one before for a family member's pistol but it was a streamlight tlr3 with only 125 lumens. Let me see if there's any light only streamlights with more lumens!
@@lilricemuncher09 Yeah i had a PL2 valkyrie, but honestly the streamlight TLR-8 is much better IMO. They make em with green lasers too. It's not as bright lumen wise as the PL2 valkyrie, and the light color is slightly warmer, but it's still bright as hell. It also only takes one CR123, so it saves money on batteries.
I really appreciate the suggestions. I looked into it and found a TLR 7 light with 500 lumens. It has a couple different switch options so i'm gonna look into that today and see which one I want. Thank you!!
i got the G19 Gen5 when it first came out, i added ameriglo night sights on my own which whatever prolly cheaper that way and mine doesnt have front serrations like to preserve that Good ole Glock look
nice! thanks for sharing you experience. at the time of this video, i got this gun stock with ameriglo sights for a STEAL! i don't even think the sku exists anymore. I haven't seen it for over a year. I only see base model sights available for it now.
Just bought one of these with an fde frame. I was seeing them, the grey ones and even the black ones selling $800+ for a while. A lot of people are still trying to get that much for bone stock glocks. It’s insane. Stumbled across the exact model I was looking for, brand new, while scrolling through gun broker and it was listed for the normal MSRP so I snatched it up. Should be here in a couple of days. I’m pretty excited about it. I would have bought a Gen5 19 back around the time they came out but that cutout made it a no-go for me. I’m so glad they got rid of that crap. Front serrations is sort of neither here nor there for me since I was already planning to have it cut for an RMR but either way, it’s cool that they finally added front serrations to all of the Gen5’s.
I go to gun stores pretty often looking for ammo and i hardly ever see any Glock 19's on the shelves. They're selling like crazy right now. I'm glad you got to get your hands on one and one of the new updated ones too!
@@lilricemuncher09 my local shop has an updated G17 in FDE as well. I really wanted to grab that one too but after buying the RMR and paying for the slide milling, I can’t really justify another gun purchase right now.
*correction - before anyone says anything, I used the incorrect terminology in regards to use of the cable lock. I mentioned chamber but meant ejection port & magazine well. My apologies. :)
@@aaronfox5559 I wasn't referring to every gun on the other brands. I got a shield and performance center shield with s&w that came in a cardboard case. I also had a Ruger LC9S and LC9S pro that came with cardboard. Of course I can't list them all out but to clarify, I wasn't trying to imply that no one else does hard cases. I just think people overlook hard cases with some handguns and the fact that 3 mags are also included with this one in particular.
That makes me happy that they're just making the MOS version the norm now. Thanks for this update video. I have a M&P 2.0 but my heart is yearning for a Glock 19 gen 5; I will most likely be buying one by the end of this year.
You're welcome! I'm happy about it myself. It shows that Glock will listen to consumer feedback. The m&p series is amazing though. If someone comes to me asking for a recommendation , I usually turn to one of these Glocks and the m&p series. Used to EDC an m&p shield and never had an issue with it.
I actually just traded my M&P 2.0 today for this and I'm more than satisfied. Honestly feel like this is more my speed and the reliability is unmatched. I would recommend
I love both guns and think they're both reliable. I prefer the 19 (of course since I bought it and that's my video lol) but they're both great guns and i trust my life with either one. I'm glad you found something you like. Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊
I know this is old now, but forward slide serrations are to press-check the gun. Because like me and many others press checking is very nice to do. Just makes it easier so you don't have to buy a new slide.
Gotta say I've been binging Glock reviews as I look for my first gun purchase, and yours was the best I've seen. Great video. I'll definitely be upgrading to the Ameriglo sights.
I have an original gen 5 G19. When I wanted to upgrade it a few weeks ago I set out to buy this model but ended up bringing home the CZ P10c with tritium sights for 70$ less than the Glock. It's also a better gun imo...
Have you beveled the edge of the cutout? If not you should try it out, it makes a ton of difference, at least to me. I took one of the old gen 5 19 over the new one, because I dont like the front serrations, they should make it optional honestly.
thanks for the breakdown. I was literally about to order a gen 5, only to see this video and notice that an update came out. I hated the half moon cut out on the ones I fucked around with, so I was happy to see all the changes and lucked out that Riflegear had 2 in stock. I recently sold a gen 4 G19 and was going to get the 5, but REALLY didn't want the one with the half moon cutout. This saved me a few bucks and got the one I want.
Glad I could help! I knew there were a lot of people that hated the half moon cutout but i'm getting to see it firsthand with all the comments about it on this video. I love the updated G19 gen 5! I have the model #'s listed for the old one and new one so make sure you get the newer model.
@@lilricemuncher09 yup, I was literally putting the old one in my cart when I noticed this video. waited and saw there was a 2nd "gen" of the Gen 5's, and got this one. Sold my spare gen 4 for $525 and got this for $539. can't bitch
@@lilricemuncher09 haha, yeah I had one of the Talo Exclusive G19 gen 4's with the Nibx slide and barrel that I hadn't used in 5 years (it was a "backup" for my regular G19)... I sold it for $525 and even then, I probably could have sold it for more . I had 73 emails on armslist in 24 hours with many offering $600 or more if they could go to the top of the list. I guess people are desperate for Glocks with the panic. I sold it at the $525 I had listed though as I didn't want to be a grubbing dick, and ended up paying only $14 more for a brand new Gen 5 that came in stock at riflegear literally an hour before I made the sale of the gen 4... pure luck and timing
@@wormraper Glock are on fire and selling like crazy on grabagun. I can definitely see the desperation right now. Plus, it's election year too besides the pandemic. Nice upgrade though!
Thanks for sharing, just ordered mine 19 Gen 5, have been waiting for while. Sold one of my MP to replace it this one. I wanted to get the 26 Gen 5, but just invested in P365. In backorder for at least 6 weeks, worth the wait.
You're welcome! M&Ps are great guns so it says a lot for you to switch. If I had to choose outside of Glock for EDC it would definitely be the m&p series. Also the p365 is a great pick too. I think they've worked out all the bugs with it.
I just picked up the 19 Gen 5-S today....my 3rd Glock. I can only stack 2 because my 30+ year old Glock 19 Gen 2 came in a different plastic box, but at least it wasn't a cardboard box even then...lol.
Thank you for this review. I was torn between what glock to get for home defense. With this review, you helped me to finally make the decision to get one. Thank you, Archie! Keep up with the videos. Love them all.
Thanks Toe! Is this my first official comment from you? Lol can't go wrong with the "newer" glock 19 gen 5 or maybe a Glock 17 too. Get either one of those. You can always hit me up if you have any questions or concerns! :)
I like the ability to make Gen 5 left or right handed, but I'm hoping for Gen 6 to be a truly ambidextrous firearm, not just one that you can swap parts around to make it left or right handed. The AmeriGlo bold sights are a very nice upgrade. I also like the high-visibility gunlock; some manufactures (Remington) include black gunlocks. I would like a more substantial cleaning rod; they could also include a "thug-plug" (dust cover/insert) for the hollow section of the grip, and maybe a high-visibility chamber flag.
This is almost impossible to buy curently, unless you pay online auction prices. I love mine! I'm sorry, but the front serrationa look better, I love the flared mag well and all the updated revisions. I'm glad I didn't jump on the early versions, this one looks way more bad ass to me. I never liked the gen 4 and those earlier 5's look the same. This version is truly the Gen 5!
Agreed!! Even over here, the glock 19 gen 5 is still hard to come by. I live near GrabaGun in coppell too. Honestly, since we're close to the election, i think all year round this gun is going to be hard to come by. Lol
@@lilricemuncher09 yea..in other words when I draw and present the sights align naturally..with my CZ or SIG I would always have to push the front sight down..
@@Barnes-ml9wg Ahh.. i see! Well, i'm glad it's working well for you. I would say the same with the Ameriglos. The orange outline is obnoxious and so easy to pick up! Lol
My EDC is a Glock 21 GEN4..45 I carry it everywhere I go and I have no problems with it and it’s comfortable I even carry it inside the waist band as well and I have no problems carrying it at all The Glock 21 is considered a full-size pistol so I’m pretty sure if I can carry a full-size pistol very comfortable. I’m sure you can too just in case if anybody was hesitant or curious about carrying a full-size pistol for EDC just thought I’d throw that out there.
I’m 5ft 6in, very slim. Maybe 155lbs. No way in hell I would want to carry a G17 on me. A g19 possibly if I have the right attire. But also I live in Texas and it’s hot so I dress minimally. I definitely prefer to carry subcompacts but everyone is different. Whatever works for you!
Definitely on my to buy list! Would you recommend the gen 5 over the gen 4? Like does the quality of the gen 5 outweigh the $100 cost difference between the two?
Good question!! From what I've seen the price difference between gen 4 and gen 5 models of the same gun is actually less than $100 but regardless, I would recommend the gen 5 at this point. When they first came out in 2017, I could understand the argument for gen 4 (because it was out for several years and has been proven reliable) over gen 5. But now, I think it's safe to say that gen 5 is a proven platform as well so that's what I would recommend unless of course you enjoyed a gen 4 feature of some sort (i.e. finger grooves). Hope that answers your question!
@@chazpaul7934 I agree with this but I also think you should shoot the gun too if possible (a lot of gun ranges offer rentals) because it may feel great in your hand but won't shoot well for you.
Good video. I've got the same gun, and it's a EDC for me. I'm not a Glock "fanboy" by any means, but I will admit that they are very good guns. Now, regarding front serrations, I like you thought they were silly until arthritus started to show up in my hands. Those front serrations are a lot easier to grip for me now than the rear ones. I can get more of my hands onto the slide grasping from the front than I can from the rear, so I'm happy to see them. Keep up the good work.
Follow up. Picked her up the following day. Originally had prepaid for a Sig p320x-compact but been waiting since June for it and got tired of waiting. Anyways now to find ammo 😆
@@victorsalinas4666 The Sig p320 series are good guns.. after they were redesigned following the drop test failures 😂 good lucky finding ammo! especially now with the election. It's out there but you better look now!
Am shopping for my first pistol currently and between the M&P 2.0 and G19 I am leaning more towards the Glock based on it’s past of being a proven, reliable benchmark in the industry. Will mainly be used by me for home defense so I think it will be a solid choice.
You will not go wrong with either gun. I obviously own the Glock 19 (and others) and have spent a lot of time with the M&P series of all sizes. If you do get the M&P, I would personally suggest getting one with the new trigger instead of the newer flat face trigger instead of the hinge one.
Slightly improved trigger, Glock marksman barrel that is crowned and is more accurate and the rifling has been changed a bit and has more chamber support. My Glock 19 gen 5 came with a blacked out serrated rear with u notch and ameriglo front sight. Also no finger grooves.
I thought the last one came with 3 mags too. I know my 43 came with 2. Maybe the compact and full-size pistols have 3 and subcompacts have 2. Not sure.
Front slide aeration’s are good for press checks as well as if you were to mount an optic on your gun. You will more likely than not be racking it from the front.
I always rack it from the rear personally to check for a round but I get it. And definitely a good thing for front serrations for Mos models and optics.
Haha that's a first. Usually, my gamer subs come through and are like wtf.. why are you reviewing guns on this channel?! Every time I say... i like guns and games what can i say 😂
“Not a gun nut”, probably why it is considered a great review. I sold two of my worn glocks to the pandemic buyers and plan to add the g45 or this 19(which is what I’ve carried since 04’) once inventory catches up.
Haha did you make some money?? I would sell my G19 but I got a steal with it & the ameriglo sights. It was like $596 out the door. Idk if i'm ever gonna get that again if i sell it. Lol my fav glock to this day is still that G45. Love that gun!
Quick question. I’m looking into buying my first firearm ever , and have decided on the Glock 19 Gen 5. I see that you listed three different models here, but there is also the MOS version. If I were to get the base model with the fixed sights, what would the process be on switching the sights on it? By fixed does it mean they are forged on ?
Hey, thank you for your question. The Glock 19 Gen 5 is a great pick and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyway, the MOS version is if you're interested in running an optic like a red dot sight. You would also have to get taller sights with this. Anyway as far as sight replacements go, The front sight post is actually very easy to remove and replace. You just need a little sight tool (maybe $5 to 10 bucks)to unscrew it and apply some loctite for your next sight that you screw in. The rear sight is more difficult to remove, meaning you probably need some tools. Ive seen people go the cheap route and get a little punch rod and hammer/beat it out. But the way to do it without any complication is to get a tool to "press" or push it out sideways. It's held in by friction. Haha it's hard to explain but I did this on my Glock 43 last year. There are also many, many shops that would probably replace the sights for you on the cheap as well. Lastly, IMO, if you KNOW you're going to swap sights and you like the Ameriglo sight model just buy the Glock with it already. This is undoubtedly the cheapest way to go instead of buying base model and adding a new set of sights - parts and labor.
Lil Rice Muncher Gaming thanks for the quick reply! You see I’m in Arizona and I’m having trouble finding any shops with them in stock. I was considering going with the Ameriglo option you purchased but it runs at around $753+tax (using sportsman’s website for reference). I just thought paying roughly $800 for my first gun was a little out of my budget. That’s why I was trying to work around it by buying the cheaper option then looking into the aftermarket for the sights. However I didn’t realize changing the sights was such a hassle lol. If push comes to shove I’ll prob go with the more expensive option since I hear the factory fixed sights aren’t very good
Glocks are hard to come by right now because of the pandemic and the disaster preppers. I bought mine from GrabaGun here in Coppell. I am MEGA fortunate that I live literally 15 minutes from them. You wouldn't believe the price I got the G19 with ameriglo sights. $596.45 out the door. I've never seen it cheaper. Anyway, that price that you're seeing is a bit steep for a 1st gun but this one is going to last and be worth it. Honestly, the polymer football post sights on the base model Glocks are plenty accurate, easy to see, and get the job done. They're just not going to be good during the night and/or when there's very little lighting. Maybe another complaint is they aren't as durable but honestly you'd have to beat the shit out of them to do significant damage. I think it'll be okay for your first gun to get the base model. Hopefully, you'll get to try different sights and guns and get a feel for what you like. There are plenty of good sights with tritium that won't cost you an arm and a leg. I have trijicon HD's on my 43 that i installed myself and it was expensive. i think on sale for $125. Haha but good luck to you man. Let me know if you have any questions.
I could use a McChicken myself now.. thanks.. Lol Glock 17 is a great gun too! The 19 is just a perfect fit for me. I didn't feel like i needed the extra 2 rounds. I will say that I've shot the Glock 45 (17 frame & 19 slide) and it was absolutely amazing!
I appreciate the feedback very much. I'm going to do more gun videos. I've considered doing another channel. Honestly, should have done that out of the gate but it's too late now. I'm only going to do a handful of these so i'm going to make the decision (mistake or not) to stay with this one. I'm going to do the springfield hellcat next.
They also have a new cerakote on the slide of the gen 5, the slide stop is ambidextrous, and now the mounting rail in front of the trigger guard for lights has a 1913-sized notch instead of a special Glock size. Noteworthy if you're mounting a light, because the adapter for the notch needs to be a standard 1913 picatinny size adapter instead of the Glock adapter.
They also made a cut in the breach face and use a different ejector. These both aid in ejection. Big difference between the early gen 5s and the recent gen 5s when it comes to ejection.
Sir, I (along with many others that view this video) really appreciate you 100% for sharing this with me. I'm looking into it right now and will update my video description with my findings and hopefully a comparison picture!! This is what i love about the gun community!
TheMeoled ,bolt action rifles,shotguns and handguns you can legally have if you are affiliated with the proper shooting club/organisation! It was only semi automatic rifles we lost the ability to own !!
hey, idk if you saw the scam comment earlier (i just deleted it), but you can expect to pay roughly $550 for the Glock 19 with base model sights. if you can get it around $500, I would consider that a really good deal. The prices have went up since the posting of this video. Let me know if you have any other questions!
The front sight is taller? The standard front sight is .165" and it's .200 on this pistol. I shot low until I changed them. I could have changed my POA, but I thought it would mess me up shooting my other Glocks
This is the best review I have seen for the new updated Gen 5 model. I also really liked that you included in detail the updates you missed in the description. Great vid, 2 thumbs up!!
I appreciate the kind words and good on you for looking at the description. I know a lot of people don't read it and miss out on some important information!
It really is. I love shooting this and the G45 w/ Ameriglos also. It doesn't look like Glock offers the Ameriglo model anymore. At least at this moment.
I like your review that you gave for the Glock 19 I know I wanted to get a Glock 19 for home defense and concealed carry part of the reason why I can't use the Glock 43 is because my hand size is too large that is the main issue and so Glock 19 would make a good in between I originally had a Glock 17 as my everyday carry but never truly concealed since it's so large and so in my opinion the Glock 19 even though I have yet to try and fire one that's the issue with me is I don't have the strength for a lot of things so a Glock pretty much has to be able to handle my less than able to use of strength I have extremely mild CPS so my only issue I have with Glock I will freely admit it is the strip down of the Glock and part of that is those two little switches in the front are difficult for me that's my downside I have used the basic sites on my Glock 17 and they were I believe I had Gen 4 at the time on my 17th but yes thank you very much you I loved your presentation for out of the box I did not know you could order with amerglow already on it.
I’m interested in getting the Glock 19 5th generation pistol for a conceal and carry. Question: those sights looked different then the other Glock 19s I’ve seen. What were those called again ? And how do those sights help OR differentiate from other sights. Very curious- Sean Harrington
This is the exact model I currently own now. Such a nice pistol, best version of the 19 IMO. I’ve owned Gen 2s, 3s, and Gen 4 19s. This is my favorite Gen because no finger grooves and also the front slide serrations. All the upgrades and changes reminds me that Glock is the apple of the gun world.
Thank you for sharing your experience!!
@@opaquely well seeing how every1 follows ghetto culture. Cool
@@opaquely oh geeeze! Really?!
I personally don't care too much about aesthetics as long as it's functional and serves a purpose. In my opinion, the front serrations do serve a purpose so im more than okay with it
@@lilricemuncher09 Front serrations are very useful for press checks. One of the positive additions Glock did to a now great Gen5 gun!
got mine new at academy for $539, i have small hands and started with a 43x but sold it to buy this, i shoot 10x better with the doublestack glocks
This is probably one of the best unboxing of anything videos I've seen on TH-cam. Well done.
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the encouragement and am about to start a new gun channel.
I agree.
Glock 19 The best pistol ever...
I definitely agree, the Gen 5 model is the best handgun ever.

Hands down this is the best gun review i’ve ever watched it covers everything that you need to know about the glock 19 gen 5

Such a beautiful thing!

Yeah your a gun nut but it's cool

I work law enforcement and have come to love and trust Glocks. I love almost all firearms and own a lot of them. Out of all of the firearms that I own, several are Glocks. The department that I work for uses Glock 22 handguns with Glock factory night sights. A Glock 22, is chambered in .40 S&W. I have trained with them for 13 years and counting and some of our range Glocks have well over 50,000 rounds through them and are still on all of the original components that the firearms came with from the factory. Glocks are unbelievably reliable and durable. I have never had a Glock malfunction at all and I have trained with them in every environment and weather. Even in below zero temperatures. I’ve covered my Glocks with water, snow, sand, dirt and mud and they still function.
With the Glock shown in this video, I have the virtually identical Glock 19. Mine in a blue label, Gen 5 Glock 19 MOS with the Ameriglo night sights from the factory. Mine also has front slide serrations and the half moon cutout gone. The only difference with mine from the one in this video is that mine is a MOS model. Or what is referred to as a Modular Optic System. Or what is more commonly known as a red dot optic sight that mounts in front of the rear sights.
With a lot of people buying firearms right now due to the global pandemic, if anyone has any questions and has bought a firearm but doesn’t know how to handle them safely or are thinking about buying one and has questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to help anyone out that has questions.
Hey, thank you very much for your comment! Honestly, seeing people like you come through inspire me to make more videos regarding firearms. There's a lot of people in the gun community that are very caring and eager to help. I've seen some really cool people come through and sometimes even more than my gaming videos. I get tired of seeing some people in the media and the uneducated paint a different image of gun owners and those that support our 2A rights. And thank you for sharing your first hand, personal experience with Glock. I do get some keyboard warriors coming in on a regular that bash Glock and push other firearms. I don't think there's a one size fits all gun but Glocks check a lot of the boxes and i don't think you can go wrong with any modern Glock. It just does what it needs to do.
Lil Rice Muncher Gaming, thank you! I have always loved firearms. I was born and raised in Southern California. I will always love and miss the “Home” that I grew up in. My family and I moved in 2003, because the State was passing so many unconstitutional laws and we finally had enough and left. It’s heartbreaking to see what the State has become now. And is getting a lot worse.
I love the firearms community and love our freedoms, liberty, and rights. I love encouraging or helping others that either have that interest too, or simply want to learn. I also enjoy civilly debating others, that disagree with me on this subject, and/or who have believed the lies, false narrative and propaganda that comes primarily from the left.
I forgot to add, keep making more videos. You’re doing great.
I’m not a real big gamer but do like games based on realism or are made with reality in mind. The first 3 Splinter Cell games will always be my favorite games. I also like a lot of the earlier Call of Duty and/or WWI and WWII related games. Some of the newer games based on reality are good too. I thought Ghost Recon Wildlands was pretty fun.
I’ll have to subscribe to your channel, and learn about more gaming stuff.
I had a discussion the other day with a close friend who is left-leaning and she mentioned that Cali itself was one of the worlds largest economies. I read all these articles that tried to imply this was a victory of leftist policies but it gets more complex than that. I hear so much about unconstitutional laws over there. Not interested!! Lol I'm glad there are those like you that are willing to have civil discourse in these topics. Thank you very much for what you do, keep it up, and once again, thanks for your comment!
Honestly, I made this video and didn't expect the reception that I got so I will continue to drop more for sure. Appreciate you whether you subbed or not. :)
This is my every day carry. I'm 180 lbs and 5'9. I always wear a thin undershirt to protect my skin. The handle projects thru my shirt a little bit but I work at a CBD shop and maybe 3 people in 3 years has audibly recognized it.
I have this same exact model too. Love the updates on this version of the 19 Gen 5 - and the Ameriglo sights are fantastic. Better than the Trijicons imo. Great review, probably the best review I've seen of this pistol on YT!
Excellent unboxing video!!!
Every unboxing video should be like this:
1. Through, yet concise
2. Organized review of features
3. Nice narration
I appreciate it! Before the end of the year, I'm going to start a firearm channel and specialize in some unboxings with a lot of the important details.

Another difference from the first batch of gen5, is the polymer body under the muzzle wasnt initially cut like the front of the slide (the thing that makes holstering the gun better). Now the polymer followrs the new shape.
Thank you for pointing this out!! I actually went over this in the video but did not know at the time that the first gen gen 5 (lol?) didn't have the frame bevel to match the slide's. I'm updating the video description right now. That was very helpful. Thanks again!

I think there must’ve been a ‘.5’ release or something because my Gen 5 19 *does* have the half-moon and *does not* have front serrations - but my polymer frame under the muzzle *is* cut to perfectly follow the contour of the front of the slide.
@@mikemanthe Lol you're making an already confusing situation even more confusing. Haha
All my S&Ws came in the nice big blue hard case....js
I own my Glock 19 for 30 years. I was NYPD and I have carried it for 10 years OTJ and 20 years in retirement. Awesome gun. I own a Model 26 which is a great compliment to the 19 as you can put the 19 magazine in your 26 if you are carrying the 26 as a backup. The guns don’t jamb! My son bought the Glock model 45 which has a larger handle, shoots real nice.
@@golferpro1241 good to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience 🙏
Awesome! I just got mine! I got the G19 gen 5 MOS yesterday and added the Holosun Red dot. It took me a long time to find one due to the high demand, so I was super stoked to find one. Can’t wait until ranges open back up.
WERE DID U FINE 1 SIR?
the box is so cool with how they spell glock
“You can’t go wrong with a Glock.” Generally true, but the grip angle took me a bit of getting used to (years ago).
I recently ordered a G-19 Gen 5 Ameriglo as a companion for my Gen 3. I was unaware of the 5S update and was pleasantly surprised!
I like front serrations for chamber checks and I’m glad they ditched the front-strap cutout. I like the G5 stock checkering but could do without the flared magwell. It adds thicknes and serves no real purpose on a gun with a tapered magazine. I like the finish, but I’m skeptical ANYTHING can hold up as well as the old tenifer. My G5 trigger is alright, but it stacks more than my G3; perhaps it’s just sample variation? The G5 mag release is just long enough and probably won’t need an extended replacement like the G3. The Ameriglos are great; front sight pickup is fast; I like them as well as TruGlos, but for different reasons.
I never thought the Gen 4 differentiated itself from the Gen 3 in any meaningful way. The Gen 5 does.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I like the grip texture of the G5's as well but I just recently put on some Handle It gun grips on there so it doesn't matter anyway. I do appreciate the flared magwell personally.
Has somebody who used to work in the military and i go on shooting competitions regularly i want to emphasize the importance of the front serrations. While racking the slide the front serrations shave half a second. I am only considering buying guns that have that feature however i do find that on most guns front serrations are way close to the muscle the perfect placement of those serrations is done on the CZ 75 sp01 shadow.
Now that the grip cut-out is gone I will buy a G19 gen 5. Good review. Thanks!
dude,really?
Some people hate it that bad. Lol no judgement though!
I Can’t find one in North Texas
@@bobratu9029 I have carried a Glock 19 or 23 for work reasons and as a ccw for 20 years. I picked up a gen 5 with the cutout, and put it right back down. I hated it enough to not buy one also.
This and the Taurus G3 are my 2 favorite guns
I know this is an old video, but maybe someone can help me. Is there a place that breaks down these numbers? I just bought a new Glock 19 Gen 5 and the number is PA195S302MOSAB. It has the AmeriGlo sights and MOS for mounting a red dot. It only came with 2 additional backstraps, both with beaver tails. I wonder if I'm missing the other 2 or if they just stopped shipping with them. Also, do I have the 4.02" Marksman barrel ? Do they all ship with that now?
Oh, and you did a great job on this video.
Dude, get a good weaponlight for it! I highly recommend the Streamlight TLR-8. It fits flush with the muzzle of the 19, and it has a laser in addition to a 500 lumen light that also has a strobe function. It's a solid weapon light for the money, weighs almost nothing and it's quite bright.
thank you for the suggestion. A weaponlight is actually on the list. I'm more interested in the light and not the laser combo. I have a streamlight hlx 1000 lumen on my AR 15 and I LOVE IT. I bought one before for a family member's pistol but it was a streamlight tlr3 with only 125 lumens. Let me see if there's any light only streamlights with more lumens!
@@lilricemuncher09 Yeah i had a PL2 valkyrie, but honestly the streamlight TLR-8 is much better IMO. They make em with green lasers too. It's not as bright lumen wise as the PL2 valkyrie, and the light color is slightly warmer, but it's still bright as hell. It also only takes one CR123, so it saves money on batteries.
I really appreciate the suggestions. I looked into it and found a TLR 7 light with 500 lumens. It has a couple different switch options so i'm gonna look into that today and see which one I want. Thank you!!
i got the G19 Gen5 when it first came out, i added ameriglo night sights on my own which whatever prolly cheaper that way and mine doesnt have front serrations like to preserve that Good ole Glock look
nice! thanks for sharing you experience. at the time of this video, i got this gun stock with ameriglo sights for a STEAL! i don't even think the sku exists anymore. I haven't seen it for over a year. I only see base model sights available for it now.
Thank you. I didn’t know this version of gen 5 was available. This video helped out!
You're welcome! Glad it helped someone.
Just bought one of these with an fde frame. I was seeing them, the grey ones and even the black ones selling $800+ for a while. A lot of people are still trying to get that much for bone stock glocks. It’s insane. Stumbled across the exact model I was looking for, brand new, while scrolling through gun broker and it was listed for the normal MSRP so I snatched it up. Should be here in a couple of days. I’m pretty excited about it. I would have bought a Gen5 19 back around the time they came out but that cutout made it a no-go for me. I’m so glad they got rid of that crap. Front serrations is sort of neither here nor there for me since I was already planning to have it cut for an RMR but either way, it’s cool that they finally added front serrations to all of the Gen5’s.
I go to gun stores pretty often looking for ammo and i hardly ever see any Glock 19's on the shelves. They're selling like crazy right now. I'm glad you got to get your hands on one and one of the new updated ones too!
@@lilricemuncher09 my local shop has an updated G17 in FDE as well. I really wanted to grab that one too but after buying the RMR and paying for the slide milling, I can’t really justify another gun purchase right now.
@@kylestewart4444 Well, if you already have a 19, i don't see why you would add that unless you just had the money laying around.
*correction - before anyone says anything, I used the incorrect terminology in regards to use of the cable lock. I mentioned chamber but meant ejection port & magazine well. My apologies. :)
Lil Rice Muncher Gaming my MP 45 came in a case, depends on the gun
@@aaronfox5559 I wasn't referring to every gun on the other brands. I got a shield and performance center shield with s&w that came in a cardboard case. I also had a Ruger LC9S and LC9S pro that came with cardboard. Of course I can't list them all out but to clarify, I wasn't trying to imply that no one else does hard cases.

That makes me happy that they're just making the MOS version the norm now. Thanks for this update video. I have a M&P 2.0 but my heart is yearning for a Glock 19 gen 5; I will most likely be buying one by the end of this year.
You're welcome! I'm happy about it myself. It shows that Glock will listen to consumer feedback. The m&p series is amazing though. If someone comes to me asking for a recommendation , I usually turn to one of these Glocks and the m&p series. Used to EDC an m&p shield and never had an issue with it.
Buying me one today and my old lady a Springfield Armory Hellcat.
I actually just traded my M&P 2.0 today for this and I'm more than satisfied. Honestly feel like this is more my speed and the reliability is unmatched. I would recommend
I love both guns and think they're both reliable. I prefer the 19 (of course since I bought it and that's my video lol) but they're both great guns and i trust my life with either one. I'm glad you found something you like. Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊
Mp compact is a great gun..keep that one you got .
Nice review! I liked how you went through all the stuff in a reasonable order. :-)
I know this is old now, but forward slide serrations are to press-check the gun. Because like me and many others press checking is very nice to do. Just makes it easier so you don't have to buy a new slide.
Just bought one this weekend. Can't wait to get it to the shooting range.
Congrats! These are so hard to find right now.
Gotta say I've been binging Glock reviews as I look for my first gun purchase, and yours was the best I've seen. Great video. I'll definitely be upgrading to the Ameriglo sights.
I have an original gen 5 G19. When I wanted to upgrade it a few weeks ago I set out to buy this model but ended up bringing home the CZ P10c with tritium sights for 70$ less than the Glock. It's also a better gun imo...
I use the reloader and never had issue with the half moon cut out. For the front serrations it may help with the brake down for cleaning
I never had an issue with it either but apparently a lot of people did or enough for Glock to refresh it again lol
Have you beveled the edge of the cutout? If not you should try it out, it makes a ton of difference, at least to me. I took one of the old gen 5 19 over the new one, because I dont like the front serrations, they should make it optional honestly.
thanks for the breakdown. I was literally about to order a gen 5, only to see this video and notice that an update came out. I hated the half moon cut out on the ones I fucked around with, so I was happy to see all the changes and lucked out that Riflegear had 2 in stock. I recently sold a gen 4 G19 and was going to get the 5, but REALLY didn't want the one with the half moon cutout. This saved me a few bucks and got the one I want.
Glad I could help! I knew there were a lot of people that hated the half moon cutout but i'm getting to see it firsthand with all the comments about it on this video. I love the updated G19 gen 5! I have the model #'s listed for the old one and new one so make sure you get the newer model.
@@lilricemuncher09 yup, I was literally putting the old one in my cart when I noticed this video. waited and saw there was a 2nd "gen" of the Gen 5's, and got this one. Sold my spare gen 4 for $525 and got this for $539. can't bitch
haha you had a spare gen 4? nice! Lol you'll love this one. Thank you for your comment. I hope this video was helpful to a lot of people!
@@lilricemuncher09 haha, yeah I had one of the Talo Exclusive G19 gen 4's with the Nibx slide and barrel that I hadn't used in 5 years (it was a "backup" for my regular G19)... I sold it for $525 and even then, I probably could have sold it for more . I had 73 emails on armslist in 24 hours with many offering $600 or more if they could go to the top of the list. I guess people are desperate for Glocks with the panic. I sold it at the $525 I had listed though as I didn't want to be a grubbing dick, and ended up paying only $14 more for a brand new Gen 5 that came in stock at riflegear literally an hour before I made the sale of the gen 4... pure luck and timing
@@wormraper Glock are on fire and selling like crazy on grabagun. I can definitely see the desperation right now. Plus, it's election year too besides the pandemic. Nice upgrade though!
Thanks for sharing, just ordered mine 19 Gen 5, have been waiting for while. Sold one of my MP to replace it this one. I wanted to get the 26 Gen 5, but just invested in P365. In backorder for at least 6 weeks, worth the wait.
You're welcome! M&Ps are great guns so it says a lot for you to switch. If I had to choose outside of Glock for EDC it would definitely be the m&p series. Also the p365 is a great pick too. I think they've worked out all the bugs with it.
Excellent video, very informative on the latest version of the Gen 5 Glock 19. Good stuff!
Thank you! I'm making a new gun channel and hope to make more informative videos!
I just picked up the 19 Gen 5-S today....my 3rd Glock.
I can only stack 2 because my 30+ year old Glock 19 Gen 2 came in a different plastic box, but at least it wasn't a cardboard box even then...lol.
Thank you for this review. I was torn between what glock to get for home defense. With this review, you helped me to finally make the decision to get one. Thank you, Archie! Keep up with the videos. Love them all.
Thanks Toe! Is this my first official comment from you? Lol can't go wrong with the "newer" glock 19 gen 5 or maybe a Glock 17 too. Get either one of those. You can always hit me up if you have any questions or concerns! :)
What did you get and how do you like it?
I like the ability to make Gen 5 left or right handed, but I'm hoping for Gen 6 to be a truly ambidextrous firearm, not just one that you can swap parts around to make it left or right handed.
The AmeriGlo bold sights are a very nice upgrade. I also like the high-visibility gunlock; some manufactures (Remington) include black gunlocks.
I would like a more substantial cleaning rod; they could also include a "thug-plug" (dust cover/insert) for the hollow section of the grip, and maybe a high-visibility chamber flag.
I have the same exact Glock 19 Gen 5 except that have the Glock® factory OEM Night Sights as opposed to the Ameriglo®.
I’m so happy with my Glock 19 g 5
This is almost impossible to buy curently, unless you pay online auction prices. I love mine! I'm sorry, but the front serrationa look better, I love the flared mag well and all the updated revisions. I'm glad I didn't jump on the early versions, this one looks way more bad ass to me. I never liked the gen 4 and those earlier 5's look the same. This version is truly the Gen 5!
Agreed!! Even over here, the glock 19 gen 5 is still hard to come by. I live near GrabaGun in coppell too. Honestly, since we're close to the election, i think all year round this gun is going to be hard to come by. Lol
Thanks! Very good review. I want to buy a glock 19 gen 5 , but can't get it ! Always out of stocks. Please advice to me.
Glad I’m getting this new version
Yess, comes with a lot of improvements!! I listed them in the description
@@lilricemuncher09 just traded my CZ p07 for a this..first glock ive ever owned.. The grip angle is very pointable for me
@@Barnes-ml9wg i've never heard someone describe a gun as pointable. that's a good thing, right? Lol
@@lilricemuncher09 yea..in other words when I draw and present the sights align naturally..with my CZ or SIG I would always have to push the front sight down..
@@Barnes-ml9wg Ahh.. i see! Well, i'm glad it's working well for you. I would say the same with the Ameriglos. The orange outline is obnoxious and so easy to pick up! Lol
My EDC is a Glock 21 GEN4..45 I carry it everywhere I go and I have no problems with it and it’s comfortable I even carry it inside the waist band as well and I have no problems carrying it at all The Glock 21 is considered a full-size pistol so I’m pretty sure if I can carry a full-size pistol very comfortable. I’m sure you can too just in case if anybody was hesitant or curious about carrying a full-size pistol for EDC just thought I’d throw that out there.
I’m 5ft 6in, very slim. Maybe 155lbs. No way in hell I would want to carry a G17 on me. A g19 possibly if I have the right attire. But also I live in Texas and it’s hot so I dress minimally. I definitely prefer to carry subcompacts but everyone is different. Whatever works for you!
I just bought this new FS model and I can't wait, thanks for the video !
Awesome!! you're gonna love it and thank you!
You can replace the magazine catch.
Great review brotha!!!
Nice G19 update review! You are the only gamer channel I have ever subscribed to and it’s because of this well done review. Thanks!
Definitely on my to buy list! Would you recommend the gen 5 over the gen 4? Like does the quality of the gen 5 outweigh the $100 cost difference between the two?
Good question!! From what I've seen the price difference between gen 4 and gen 5 models of the same gun is actually less than $100 but regardless, I would recommend the gen 5 at this point. When they first came out in 2017, I could understand the argument for gen 4 (because it was out for several years and has been proven reliable) over gen 5. But now, I think it's safe to say that gen 5 is a proven platform as well so that's what I would recommend unless of course you enjoyed a gen 4 feature of some sort (i.e. finger grooves). Hope that answers your question!
Whatever feels best in your hand bud.
@@chazpaul7934 I agree with this but I also think you should shoot the gun too if possible (a lot of gun ranges offer rentals) because it may feel great in your hand but won't shoot well for you.
I have a gen 5 glock 19 and love it with factory night sights but hold any gun for yourself I've learned
Good luck there sold out everywhere buddy.
Good video. I've got the same gun, and it's a EDC for me. I'm not a Glock "fanboy" by any means, but I will admit that they are very good guns. Now, regarding front serrations, I like you thought they were silly until arthritus started to show up in my hands. Those front serrations are a lot easier to grip for me now than the rear ones. I can get more of my hands onto the slide grasping from the front than I can from the rear, so I'm happy to see them. Keep up the good work.
Just did I background check to get this gun. Just waiting on the results lol. It felt really nice in the hand and looks better in person.
California? i'm glad it feels good in the hand for you. Gonna shoot amazing too!
Follow up. Picked her up the following day. Originally had prepaid for a Sig p320x-compact but been waiting since June for it and got tired of waiting. Anyways now to find ammo 😆
@@victorsalinas4666 The Sig p320 series are good guns.. after they were redesigned following the drop test failures 😂 good lucky finding ammo! especially now with the election. It's out there but you better look now!
@@lilricemuncher09 yes it’s pretty scarce but I found some in ammo depot. Some crappy Blazer Brass but it’s something.
@@victorsalinas4666 I like blazer brass for plinking but you need some hollow points for self-defense.
Am shopping for my first pistol currently and between the M&P 2.0 and G19 I am leaning more towards the Glock based on it’s past of being a proven, reliable benchmark in the industry. Will mainly be used by me for home defense so I think it will be a solid choice.
You will not go wrong with either gun. I obviously own the Glock 19 (and others) and have spent a lot of time with the M&P series of all sizes. If you do get the M&P, I would personally suggest getting one with the new trigger instead of the newer flat face trigger instead of the hinge one.
Great video bro, hit all the right points the people need! 🤙🏽
Appreciate it! :)
Slightly improved trigger, Glock marksman barrel that is crowned and is more accurate and the rifling has been changed a bit and has more chamber support. My Glock 19 gen 5 came with a blacked out serrated rear with u notch and ameriglo front sight. Also no finger grooves.
Oh and don't forget ambidextrous slide release!!!
“I gotta go eat some rice” haha. This newer gen5 came with 3 mags? All the ones ive seen at the store came with 2 i think, even the 43x and the 48.
I thought the last one came with 3 mags too. I know my 43 came with 2. Maybe the compact and full-size pistols have 3 and subcompacts have 2. Not sure.
HOW MUCH N WERE DO I PURCHASE 1THE GLOCK 19 GEN 5?
hello i need a name or address n how much ....does anyone know da answer to those simple questions?
Yeah the tapered front end, and serrations help the gun not look like a black bar of butter
Haha i never it looked at it that way but you're absolutely right.
Front slide aeration’s are good for press checks as well as if you were to mount an optic on your gun. You will more likely than not be racking it from the front.
I always rack it from the rear personally to check for a round but I get it. And definitely a good thing for front serrations for Mos models and optics.
I just bought the Gen 5 but the full size 17. I was happy to find mine came with all the updates.
Congrats! The Gen 5 has some significant upgrades and it's not just a general refresh!
how much is that glock19 gun set + were can i purchase one?
I love the gun reviews as well as the PC reviews ty. Keep up the great work 👍👍
Haha that's a first. Usually, my gamer subs come through and are like wtf.. why are you reviewing guns on this channel?! Every time I say... i like guns and games what can i say 😂
“Not a gun nut”, probably why it is considered a great review.
I sold two of my worn glocks to the pandemic buyers and plan to add the g45 or this 19(which is what I’ve carried since 04’) once inventory catches up.
Haha did you make some money?? I would sell my G19 but I got a steal with it & the ameriglo sights. It was like $596 out the door. Idk if i'm ever gonna get that again if i sell it. Lol my fav glock to this day is still that G45. Love that gun!
Got the blue label, G 19 gen 5... love it
Congrats! G19s are really hard to come across right now!
Can you buy a brand new Gen 5 without serrations or is that a special order
all the "new" gen 5's have serrations on the slide. if you want one without, you more than likely have to buy used.
@@lilricemuncher09 thank you
Not a Glock fan but this one was my first purchase n I love it.
Quick question. I’m looking into buying my first firearm ever , and have decided on the Glock 19 Gen 5. I see that you listed three different models here, but there is also the MOS version. If I were to get the base model with the fixed sights, what would the process be on switching the sights on it? By fixed does it mean they are forged on ?
Hey, thank you for your question. The Glock 19 Gen 5 is a great pick and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyway, the MOS version is if you're interested in running an optic like a red dot sight. You would also have to get taller sights with this. Anyway as far as sight replacements go, The front sight post is actually very easy to remove and replace. You just need a little sight tool (maybe $5 to 10 bucks)to unscrew it and apply some loctite for your next sight that you screw in. The rear sight is more difficult to remove, meaning you probably need some tools. Ive seen people go the cheap route and get a little punch rod and hammer/beat it out. But the way to do it without any complication is to get a tool to "press" or push it out sideways. It's held in by friction. Haha it's hard to explain but I did this on my Glock 43 last year. There are also many, many shops that would probably replace the sights for you on the cheap as well. Lastly, IMO, if you KNOW you're going to swap sights and you like the Ameriglo sight model just buy the Glock with it already. This is undoubtedly the cheapest way to go instead of buying base model and adding a new set of sights - parts and labor.
Lil Rice Muncher Gaming thanks for the quick reply! You see I’m in Arizona and I’m having trouble finding any shops with them in stock. I was considering going with the Ameriglo option you purchased but it runs at around $753+tax (using sportsman’s website for reference). I just thought paying roughly $800 for my first gun was a little out of my budget. That’s why I was trying to work around it by buying the cheaper option then looking into the aftermarket for the sights. However I didn’t realize changing the sights was such a hassle lol. If push comes to shove I’ll prob go with the more expensive option since I hear the factory fixed sights aren’t very good
Glocks are hard to come by right now because of the pandemic and the disaster preppers. I bought mine from GrabaGun here in Coppell. I am MEGA fortunate that I live literally 15 minutes from them. You wouldn't believe the price I got the G19 with ameriglo sights. $596.45 out the door. I've never seen it cheaper. Anyway, that price that you're seeing is a bit steep for a 1st gun but this one is going to last and be worth it. Honestly, the polymer football post sights on the base model Glocks are plenty accurate, easy to see, and get the job done. They're just not going to be good during the night and/or when there's very little lighting. Maybe another complaint is they aren't as durable but honestly you'd have to beat the shit out of them to do significant damage. I think it'll be okay for your first gun to get the base model. Hopefully, you'll get to try different sights and guns and get a feel for what you like. There are plenty of good sights with tritium that won't cost you an arm and a leg. I have trijicon HD's on my 43 that i installed myself and it was expensive. i think on sale for $125. Haha but good luck to you man. Let me know if you have any questions.
Welcome to the club
My EDC, the most reliable pistol I've ever owned. Plays well with everything.
Same my 1st pistol G19 GEN5 but mine is MOS. I can't wait to go to my home country to use for my EDC.
Nice video, i myself have a Glock 17 5th Gen and I'm loving it ( Damn i must be hungry )
I could use a McChicken myself now.. thanks.. Lol Glock 17 is a great gun too! The 19 is just a perfect fit for me. I didn't feel like i needed the extra 2 rounds. I will say that I've shot the Glock 45 (17 frame & 19 slide) and it was absolutely amazing!
Love that they fixed the pinky cut and big fan of the front serations
Me too!
You should consider an alternate channel for reviews, if you dont already have one, because this gun review was a 10/10 for thoroughness.
I appreciate the feedback very much. I'm going to do more gun videos. I've considered doing another channel. Honestly, should have done that out of the gate but it's too late now. I'm only going to do a handful of these so i'm going to make the decision (mistake or not) to stay with this one. I'm going to do the springfield hellcat next.
Spot on
Just got mine today. Front serrations and no cutout as well. I'm pleased with it.
Nice! Another happy customer 👍
2A all the way!
They also have a new cerakote on the slide of the gen 5, the slide stop is ambidextrous, and now the mounting rail in front of the trigger guard for lights has a 1913-sized notch instead of a special Glock size. Noteworthy if you're mounting a light, because the adapter for the notch needs to be a standard 1913 picatinny size adapter instead of the Glock adapter.
Great overview man I appreciate the video....aloha and blessings from Hawaii
Thank you for coming through! I'm glad i could help. :)
They also made a cut in the breach face and use a different ejector. These both aid in ejection. Big difference between the early gen 5s and the recent gen 5s when it comes to ejection.
Sir, I (along with many others that view this video) really appreciate you 100% for sharing this with me. I'm looking into it right now and will update my video description with my findings and hopefully a comparison picture!! This is what i love about the gun community!
how much
Awesome review,I’m in Australia 🇦🇺,so wondering how long till we have this latest 19 🤔
You are allowed to own guns? I thought there was a total ban?
TheMeoled ,bolt action rifles,shotguns and handguns you can legally have if you are affiliated with the proper shooting club/organisation! It was only semi automatic rifles we lost the ability to own !!
@@jasonmilligan9782 ok, got it. Thanks! Good for you that you didnt lose everything. Hope you will get back also semi-auto rifles
Great quality & great quick info with demonstrating, awesome video bro
Thanks for watching! I'm working on a couple more videos (springfield hellcat and s&w m&p .45) that i'm going to drop hopefully soon!
Love those sights! 👍
Front slide serrations for press checks or for people who use an optic and don’t wanna use the optic to run the slide.
I carry a Gen 5 19M
The front slide serrations are for the purpose of racking your slide while a mounted optic is equipped
Good point. It definitely has some uses.
Talk about being "thorough"!! 😜😂😂😂😂😂
It was really revealing information. Thanks for the video. Is the Canik Mete sfX introduction coming ?
Great Video!
Thank you! I'm currently looking for a set of grips and i'm checking out your stuff!!
How much does the Glock 19 cost?
hey, idk if you saw the scam comment earlier (i just deleted it), but you can expect to pay roughly $550 for the Glock 19 with base model sights. if you can get it around $500, I would consider that a really good deal. The prices have went up since the posting of this video. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thank you I pick up a 17 and it had the front and rear serrations and I couldn't figure out why mine was different till your video
You're welcome and I'm glad i could help!!
I everyday carry a Glock 19 Gen 5 and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s the most reliable handgun I’ve ever owned
Love it!
I like the front slide serrations, because I run an optic. I have the MOS version with Trijicon RMR and Trijicon tall sights as a backup.
I love my gen5!!!!!!!
The front sight is taller? The standard front sight is .165" and it's .200 on this pistol. I shot low until I changed them. I could have changed my POA, but I thought it would mess me up shooting my other Glocks
Just bought one and I love it
Just bought me one too
This is the best review I have seen for the new updated Gen 5 model. I also really liked that you included in detail the updates you missed in the description. Great vid, 2 thumbs up!!
I appreciate the kind words and good on you for looking at the description. I know a lot of people don't read it and miss out on some important information!
Linda arma, uma boa escolha.
Muito obrigado.
Great video! Just got my Glock 19 Gen 5 . It Is my first pistol and I am very excited! Perfect size for me mainly for home protection.
0-100 real quick
Can be.
Just bought mine Saturday morning love it best version ever.
It really is. I love shooting this and the G45 w/ Ameriglos also. It doesn't look like Glock offers the Ameriglo model anymore. At least at this moment.
2:46 keyboard warriors haha
you have no idea... Lol
I just ordered a glock 26 gen 5, I can't wait to pick it up, I love my G19 but sometimes its not tge best for EDC all the time.
The g26 is a damn good gun too!
I went from watching a mechanical keyboard review to this... ok.
I like games and guns. 👌😇
I like your review that you gave for the Glock 19 I know I wanted to get a Glock 19 for home defense and concealed carry part of the reason why I can't use the Glock 43 is because my hand size is too large that is the main issue and so Glock 19 would make a good in between I originally had a Glock 17 as my everyday carry but never truly concealed since it's so large and so in my opinion the Glock 19 even though I have yet to try and fire one that's the issue with me is I don't have the strength for a lot of things so a Glock pretty much has to be able to handle my less than able to use of strength I have extremely mild CPS so my only issue I have with Glock I will freely admit it is the strip down of the Glock and part of that is those two little switches in the front are difficult for me that's my downside I have used the basic sites on my Glock 17 and they were I believe I had Gen 4 at the time on my 17th but yes thank you very much you I loved your presentation for out of the box I did not know you could order with amerglow already on it.
I’m interested in getting the Glock 19 5th generation pistol for a conceal and carry.
Question: those sights looked different then the other Glock 19s I’ve seen.
What were those called again ? And how do those sights help OR differentiate from other sights.
Very curious-
