what sold me was: - rounded look - darker finish for added corrosion protection - marksman barrel - flat grip vs gen 3 finger grooved - weight and high quality it really is a sexy ass gun!!
After many attempts to find one. I have found the absolute best detailed table review of the Glock gen 5. Thank you for this.
14:02 "They do say that this barrel is more accurate so probably not in my hands but maybe in somebody else's" That somebody is Hickok45 :)

@@JustinOpinionChannel DOES THE GLOCK 17 GEN 5 STILL HAVE THE UNSUPPORTED BARREL THAT CAUSE THE GLOCK SMILE ?
Wow...most comprehensive Glock gen comparison I have seen! Thanks for spending the time doing this.
Greetings from Belgium! The best and most detailed review of all that I saw! Special thanks for the voice acting, very everything is pronounced clearly, precisely, and most importantly not very quickly ... ( it's very important for foreigners) ..... Thank you sir!
Wonderful review as always. You personally do the best, professional reviews of anybody on YOU TUBE by far. Thank you for this review and all the personal time expended on producing it.
Really enjoyed this review. One of the most in depth videos I've seen so far. Great job. I own a gen 2, 3, and 4 but I don't think I'll be rushing out to purchase a 5. I do like the improvements glock has made with the gen 5 and I think they did what most wanted them to do. Me personally, I'm happy with the glocks I currently own.
Great job, that's the review I've been waiting for!
Great detailed parts comparison. Thank you! Gen 3 is still our personal favorite.
Even after 4 years later still the best and most informative right to the point video! on the Glock gen 5 I've found! I've been carrying Glocks since 2007! and am very glad I saw this video! thanks so much I am also a new subscriber to your channel.
I really like that they changed the follower color to orange. Makes it nice for dry fire practice.
Picking up my G5_17 tomorrow. Good to know it from the inside out. Now I have to find part 2! Thanks much.
Nice comparison, very detailed. I look forward to the shooting part. Good work Justin.
Good Explanation ! Thanks ! Very Helpful !
Great side by side, well done & thanks for sharing!
Man one of if not the best comparison video iv seen . yeah i was slow to pick up a gen 5 really didnt see a need for the gen 4 so never got one. Picked up a gen 5 19 a few days ago and the trigger is better than the previous gens. So far so good with the gen 5 300 rds and not a single problem and the finish still looks new.
Just bought the Glock 19 gen 5 Love it. Perfect gun for me.
Good Review! Most detailed I've seen yet!
Excellent videos, I watched both parts. Very nicely done!
First unboxing I've seen where the reviewer opened the box right side up. Great review 👍.
Best video out on gen 5 so far!
147g fmj and this gun perfect range gun. So smooth and accurate
Very through review,have a Gen 3 17 been thinking of a Gen 5 19 or 17.Thanks for all the work you put into this review. Haven’t seen part 2 yet ....watching that in a bit
The spring changes in the slide stop,slide lock, and trigger group are great reliability upgrades.
Really Appreciate The Work You Do! Thanks-
Thank you for sharing your initial impressions. I like the beveled slide-front, but I wish they had beveled the frame to match (like the Glock 26/27).
This out of the box, first view was extraordinary, especially showing the parts detail comparison on camera of the internal parts was superb. This video has made me a subscriber to the Chanel.,Keep up the good work and Kudos! PS. Excellent auto focus, what video recorder are you using?
EXCELLENT REVIEW!! I for one, love the details!
Great video! Keep it coming! Thank you...
A very detailed video. Thanks man.
Thank you for this great in detail video, I plan on buying the Glock 19 Gen 5 myself some day soon.
This is the most detailed video ever about the Glock 17 Gen 5. Thank you so much for the review

The Gen 4 was close for me but not quite enough to get me to go Glock......this one finally did it. Nice video.
Great video that shows the updates made by Glock.
Great detail in you video, nice.
Great video, Definitely a very detailed review, Just what I've been looking for. My Gen 5 17 should be here tomorrow. Been a long couple days waiting to get my hands on it.

Just bought one of these beauty's, thanks for the video!
Got the same Glock just with Glock night sights, excellent pistol and different to the 19 gen 4 I sold, different to the positive side. Thanks for the video!
Excelente video, nunca visto antes, una comparación tan exhaustiva.... Amo Glock... Saludos desde Mendoza Argentina...!!!
As a Southpaw whose hands never quite fit the fingergrooves, this is the Glock I've honestly wanted since the Gen 3s 1st came out. Will I buy one now, probably not. But, if/when I can find a Gen 5 Glock 31, yeah it's probably gonna follow me home.
Very informative video, I did enjoy viewing this for sure. Some just want to take them out the box and shoot them, then giving there opinion of how it shot / felt in there hand functioning(?) No benefit from their video based on their feelings, it must be raw about the product. You did a great job here, just liked and subscribed!!! Thanks and have a great day.
Gen2 for life! I've only owned Gen1, 2, and early 3s. My gen 3 17 I removed the finger grooves and Stippled the frame. I double undercut the trigger guard. Apex trigger and upgraded the sights. The reason I mentioned the gen 3 is mainly because of removed finger grooves. I prefer not to have them as I like the way the grip feels better.
Justin, I just bought a Glock 17 Gen 5 and it does not have that semi-circular notch in the front of the mag well. The one in the back is there, but the front conforms to the shape of the magazine. Is that something new since the Gen 5's first came out? (It is now 2020).
Great detailed video own the g17 gen 5 MOS.
Great approach to reviewing the new glock offering. Never got into Glock, always seemed bland to my taste but i think the Glock 17 GEN 5 will be my introduction into the line...#SIG4EVA

Bland... It's a firearm designed to fire bullets. It's not a car. It isn't dinner, either.
Great break down of all the changes, I'm looking forward to the second review. I'll always have a soft spot for Glock's, but I'm really enjoying my P320's these days.

marh415 I absolutely love my three P320's also.
Interesting takedown. Thanks for the educational content. I always liked the finger grooves, so I'm sad to see them go (I wonder if they could've done what H&K does with their new lines and offered a front strap with and without the grooves?); but I haven't tried the Gen 5 yet, so -- can't speak to the changes. Kinda disappointing that they still haven't figured out a way to make an ambi mag release, but I'm eternally grateful that they've finally done it on the slide release. I've typically gone H&K for those reasons alone but I've always wanted to add a few Glocks to the family collection (no point in fanboying over companies -- they're all fun to shoot). Here's hoping we see a Gen 5 G26 / G43 in the not-too-distant future. Instant purchases on that day for me.
Best review on the gen 5!
I am a lefty so i love the glock gen5 all over the place and finally sold off my sig 9mm p226. I now have the 17 & 19 gen5's and you don't need a heavy p226 sig to shoot 9mm but may like a p226/229 if shooting 40 cal. I have shot plenty of lead in my old gen3,I just ran FMJ behind them to burn the lead out the barrell just like I do in my revolvers but shooting bare lead is wack anyway unless that's all you got.

Man I would never sell my M9A3 for a Glock....it’s my favorite 9mm and isn’t really all that heavy due to most of the slide is missing. If I could only have one pistol I’d go with it or my HK P30...I do own the G19 gen 5 but it basically just sits in my safe
For me the perfect 17 would have night sites, cut out for red dot, and front slide serrations because the new coating is soooo slick...
I like my 4 just became the finger grooves align perfectly with my type of hand. I call the new Gen 5 (VERSION 4.5) I do like the smooth look it has though but still needs more serrations especially in the front for press check.
Great first look. Not a huge Glock guy, but interested in what's new.
I have a gen 4 17 and I like it over a gen 2 or 3...perfect for me and it's my go to pistol for classes and training...I had a gen 2,3 and 4 19 and the gen 2 is the only 19 i really miss....the finger groves annoy me on the 19 but I like them very much on a 17.......I also have a 26 that I can't imagine with out finger grooves.....I'm looking forward to getting a gen 5 19 because the only thing that the gen 2 19 was missing was a textured grip.
Thanks great Video. We as responsible Glock owners, are novelist and appreciate these type of training material.
Very well shown. thanks.
Very detailed. Thank you. Glock 17 5th gen Is definitely for me. Just gonna change the sites
I like the the slide lock button change ... from gen 4
An excellent breakdown of the variances between the gen 4 vs the gen 5. For all intents, a completely different pistol, with a cosmetically similar external appearance. The change from the polygonal ( po-lig-i- nal, not 'polly') barrel, originally touted as more accurate with a slightly higher velocity achievable, sales hyperbole on the former, accurate on the latter; to a change in sales hyperbole for the "marksman" barrel, only in the sencee that the barrel crown reduces risk of damage which may affect accuracy, but also allows easier forensic evidence tying recovered bullets to specific barrels, which has been reported, though not confirmed, as a federal request, at least for the 17M variant. Any similar technical reviews for the P80 and the 19X regarding internal changes gens 4 vs 5? Well done, J.O.!
Thank You for showing us whats under the hood of a gen5.
Being a lefty, the ambi slide release looks good to me. I may be in the market if/when they release the 27 in G5
I Love the new Run DMC finish! Great! :-)
Great video!!!
Good in-depth analysis.... don't particularly like the flair or cutout on the mag well. And although the barrel may be better overall, I find it ironic that the rifling is now "better", where before it was better than the one they are using now. A silly question, why does the slide contour (@ the front) not match the lower?
BEAUTIFUL! AND GOOD JOB SIR!
Thanks!

does the rear sight still cut the front dot in half on?
how much was it ive been wondering if the gen 5s are still same priced as gen 4s
Can the NY2 trigger spring be added to the gen 5?
texture on the grip, little pyramids, Glock needs to take a look at the FN-S.. perfect grip texture.
Lo más especial de esta arma es la sujeción y el gatillo..créanme no hace falta que sea automática es rapidísimo al disparar...nunca había probado nada igual...Pruébalo te la recomiendo
Picked up my first glock yesterday. gen 5 g19.
I appreciate you sharing this. I just can't bring myself to buy one. Their changes are hardly enough to warrant another generation, let alone the price tag in my humble opinion.
Great job.
*Glock IMperfection is why we have the awesome choices of the CZ P10c, Sig P320, HK vp, FN 509, Walther PPQ, Beretta APX, and M&P.*

In a sea of useless Gen 5 reviews (no finger grooves!!!), a single video was uploaded that had genuine insight.. Thanks for breaking that trend and getting into the parts I was really curious about, inside the slide and frame.

Thanks much for watching! In a sea of "brand name gun channels" not too many find my stuff. I appreciate it!
I'm still on the fence about the G5. My choices are a ppq, czp10c, and G5 g17. I've held the ppq and am still waiting for a p10c and a G5 to be caught in the wild. I'm leaning toward the p10c, and I wasn't blown away by the ppq. I already have magazines and an owb for a g17, but I'd have to put some truglos on straight away.
Where does one acquire the Glock desk that you have?
Good summary
I just want to know your opinion if it's worth buying ??? I have a few pistols I'm considering for my next purchase .... the Gen5 might be on my list ...
I'll definitely be replacing my Gen 3 G19, but I'm on the fence about getting the new Gen 5 or a CZ P10C. It really seems like the only thing the Glock has over the CZ is a longer track record of reliability, which of course is very important but the CZ seems to be just as reliable so far.

I hear ya! The CZ P10-C is very nice. I like the Gen5 G17 more than I expected to. Also really like the CZ. Tough choice! But the P-10C is more G19 sized in the slide.
Thinking if buying the g19 9mm this week would this be a good choice for my first handgun?

Hey any chance you can review Sig P320 V-TAC? MY god that gun looks bananas! :)
I love the finger grooves on my Gen 4 and it is easier and more solid of a grip.
Does the new mags have the steel inside? Just looking at the G4 and G5 mags next to each other it seems the steel insert is missing on the G5.

is cz p10 better or not?
I bought one, G17 gen 5 Flat Dark Earth frame and slide, good looking gun but still carrying my CZ75b
Will the new barrel lug position allows for a G17-Gen 5 barrel swap into a G19-Gen 5? Have someone tried it.
Big Beavertail backstrap is great for me.
I love the new jet black finish. I wonder if I can send my Glock 20 slide to get refinished free of charge?
Glock is famous for its iconic looks which now are no longer no square front end.
Love my Glock 17🔥🔥
Good thorough bench review/comparison as always. Interesting enough the gen5 changes will probably mean very little to most shooters. While the finish may be better or more durable it's not like the other glock finishes were horrible and wearing quickly and rusting or anything. Also the trigger may feel a little more crisp, but it's not competing with the other superior striker triggers that have shown up over the last several years. I'm just not sure the changes are really worth sacrificing almost all the internal parts compatibility. The trigger spring is questionable more so than anything. Those guys over at Royal Range USA did a 1000 round endurance test and when the gun got hot around 800+ rounds the trigger started sticking to the rear. When the gun cooled off they claimed that malfunction went away totally. Yes it was a sample of one, but I've seen similar test that other guns passed with flying colors, including other gen glocks

Interesting. You'd have to assume that Glock ran many thousands of rounds through test guns throughout the development process. But often, such tests are approached from "try to pass" rather than "try to fail" perspective, and outsiders aren't as kind or don't follow the script. Time will tell. I think the new internals are fairly well vetted and can handle 9mm - but not much more.

Justin Opinion I agree. Here's the video kzread.info/dash/bejne/dmdnl5SfgtXOg8o.html, go to the 11:30 mark to see the trigger sticking issue. I'm thinking glock will only offer the gen5 in 9mm since they went back to the 2 pins instead of 3 pins that were incorporated to strengthen the larger calibers. Or who knows maybe the 40's and 45's will have 3 pins if they make them. I'm still on the fence as to whether the gen5 has enhancements or just changes.
GLOCK 17 GEN 3 ALL DAY! 👍💪
I believe you forgot to mention the fact that the Gen 5 triggers are smooth faced, and the rear sight notch is wider.
