When I clicked on this thread I thought "Glock Release" was what certain fanboys did in private moments. Lol.

Got to handle one this morning. Meh. The finger grooves were never much of an issue for me anyway, so it just feels like a slightly modified Gen 4. They were already reliable, so I'm not sure what the Gen 5 will bring to the table other than a better texture and lack of the finger grooves.

Better sights than Glock has offered from the factory, a better trigger, better slide coating, flared magwell, more accurate barrel and more manageable recoil.

Just curious, was this at a local shop that already had them? If so, what were they going for?

This was at PointBlank in Greenwood. It was a G19 I handled, but I don't recall what they were looking to get for it. TT is probably right regarding the price.

Yep I'm right because that's what I paid

Congrats on the new blaster TT.

This is a special time in the history of GLOCK. On August 30, GLOCK, Inc. will be announcing the launch of our new G17 Gen5 and G19 Gen5 pistols. Because you are a member of GLOCK ID, we wanted you to hear the news first, from us, before the general public finds out.
The G17 Gen5 and G19 Gen5 pistols were inspired by the GLOCK M pistols used by the FBI and include many features the GLOCK community has been asking for. There are over 20 design changes which differentiate our Gen5 pistols from their Gen4 predecessors, including a flared mag-well, a new nDLC finish, the GLOCK Marksman Barrel, ambidextrous slide stop levers, and a grip which has no finger grooves.

These pistols will be available at your favorite GLOCK dealer beginning August 30. We hope you will go in to see them and try them.

Thank you for your continued support.

Got this as well, and having not been on GlockTalk that much in a while, I was a bit surprised these were already out there and available.

I'll have to check one out. I've been carrying my 43 almost exclusively, but have carried my 19 and other models in the past, and may have to check this out.

Also been waiting for S&W to give the M&P 9C the 2.0 treatment.

I've never seen a factory glock come with so much of the copper grease. Anyone else seen this?

No but congrats on the new blaster, shoot it yet!? I want the new 19 bad!!

 

[88E30M50]

I wonder what their rationale is for using the copper grease. I've seen a dab on mine in the past, but it looks like they are using it hear as a basic break in lube. On most of the guns I buy, I'm used to stripping every bit of lube off the gun upon delivery and replacing what is really nothing more than a preservative with a good lube. Glock seems to assume that the user will just shoot the gun as delivered and goes to the extra step to make sure that there's a decent lube in specific spots from the start. I wonder what the copper grease does that any other grease doesn't do. Could be that they use copper for the indicator aspect of being very visible. Nice to see that they ship them ready to shoot though.

I have now shot my own but it hadnt been shot when that pic was taken.
I shot a demo gen5 and now my own. I love the gen5. I loved the gen4 and didn't think it could get any better but it did.

88 I've always just left the factory grease on my glocks but never had one this greased up from glock. I don't know if they sell the copper grease but if they did I'd probably buy some. It seems very resilient from the glocks I've owned over the years.
I think glocks are the only factory gun I've never cleaned or lubed befire shooting when I've bought them new.
