Glock really needs to update their slide release. My g34 works good by my g30sf is major pita.

I like the g26 esque muzzle treatment.

Yeah, when I bought my g30 the slide release and take down levers were pretty much unusable. I put the extended versions on almost immediately.

Ergonomics of an HK made in 1990.

Looks like the front is beveled and rounded off a bit also. Seen a lot of custom jobs doing that

The slide release was very stiff new so it was hard to get enough pressure on it. I couldn't even use the take down levers, part of the problem was my short nails though but they were still too small. The extendable parts are cheap enough that its not really a big deal anyway.

So they got a rts style texture with a gen 2 grip and use a gen 4 back strap.
Here's what they need to do. Fix the slide release by using an extended one. Put decent sights on. For hand grip do like HK does on the VP9 or even go as far as different finger groove sizes.

They also still have the funky grip angle. Don't they know that John Moses Browning got the perfect grip angle for his 1911 from God himself?

I was about to pop for a Glock 19 Gen4.
Should I wait for the Gen 5?

ETA: Seems to be the consensus that 2nd Half 2017 is the release estimate on the Gen 5.

Seriously.... are these upgrades worth waiting for the new one to come out to get a G19?
