Glock Gen 5 - Worth the CA Premium?

Just get a Gen 3 and ammo. Not worth getting a Gen 5.

Even in a free state, unless it's an MOS, the Gen 3s are still popular. My local store still gets them, and still sells a lot of them.

Gen 3 all day when you factor in off roster premium

[xcoreflyup]

Gen 3 is fine. Id rather use the extra on grip mod, trigger and ammo for practice.

The only off roster I'd be willing to pay the premium on would be a p320 or variant.

Well, I went to my LGS and held the Gen 3 G17. Maybe it’s just shiny-new-toy syndrome (I didn’t buy it, still thinking about it) but it felt really comfortable. I actually think it’s more comfortable than my G19. Is that possible? Is the Glock hump lower on the G17?

[JC2020]

Grip is longer, so the hump may fit differently for you.

You would still pay less if you bought a 3 and customized it to a 5

a Gen 3 G17 RTF2 would be a nice addition , because it's got the RTF2 grip texture and the curved fish gill serrations, plus it's on the CA ROSTER if you can find one.

I’d say the gen 5 is only worth it to lefties and people with small hands. The gen 3 is kinda a brick of a grip. Lefties like it because you can reverse the mag release.

Take the $$$ and put it towards training

Gen 4 and 5 are to sell new stuff to cops- in my opinion

90% use the backstrap that comes with the gun- same as Gen 1-3

Only Glock I’d ever even consider paying the CA premium on is the Glock 40.

[Dan_Eastvale]

That's the gen 5 drawing point for me.

[MarikinaMan]

Its just money. Now figure out if you have better use of the premium elsewhere.
