Overview

The GLOCK G19 Gen 5, the latest version in the famed G19 line-up, stands out for its robustness, dependability, and adaptability. The Gen 5 model, loaded with enhancements over previous versions, is a favorite among law enforcement and military personnel, as well as civilians for both on-duty and concealed carry purposes. It has a magazine capacity of 15 rounds.

Frame & Grip Features

The frame of the G19 Gen 5 features Glock’s proprietary polymer, contributing to its robustness and lightweight. With a traditional yet practical design, the G19 Gen 5 sports a compact grip frame that fits snugly in your hand, boasts textured panels to keep slipping at bay, and offers interchangeable backstraps for personalized comfort. The polymer frame keeps it light yet sturdy. Additionally, it has an accessory rail for mounting either a laser or a light. When you’re stuck in a dimly lit situation, using a light can really help pinpoint your target.

Sight & Optics

Like all Glocks, the G19 comes with its standard simple sight system, the U-Dot. These sights consist of a front post with a white dot and a rear U-shaped outline. The design aims to provide a quick and intuitive sight picture, helping the shooter align the sights rapidly and accurately.

Trigger & Safety Controls

Like all Glocks, this firearm has a Safe Action trigger system. That allows the trigger to perform three functions: activating the trigger safety, activating the firing pin safety, and firing the gun. The gun also has passive trigger safety and drop safety, which ensure that the gun will not fire if dropped or bumped.

Conclusion

The G19 Gen 5 maintains the GLOCK legacy of providing durable, dependable, and versatile handguns to shooters around the world. It is a well-designed and reliable handgun perfect for various applications. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or a first-time gun owner, the Glock G19 is worth considering.
