If you have the Glock 17 Gen 4 you don't need a Gen 5. Not any significant changes to justify a new purchase in my opinion. Been a collector of firearms since 1983 and why it's in my collection. Most that I buy I don't shoot they are NIB.

I almost got a johhny glock trigger job ,and thought about getting a 2, and half pound plunger spring , but upon further review it comes best from factory and am glad to say after several months or a year possibly of daily dry fire and shooting , the gen 4 has a really great trigger for striker fire , I know I could get smashed for saying , but in my opinion the gen 4 17 is about as good a service or battle ready weapon on market , was considering the gen 5 19 and then the 19x bit the triggers are different and will not break they roll , but the gen 3s and 4s break in and snap or break at end of a really descent 5 lbs or less with plenty of use you can work your trigger to how and where you like it to break over tune thank you for video this seals deal for me , no go on fen 5 or 19x !!

I have a suspicion any youtuber who has admitted to having legal SBR’s (yes plural), also has dozens of handguns that qualify in that “color” spectrum. Seriously, do it, your channel is so incredibly substantive, that well... (forgive my criticism), it’s needs a boost in popularity. This could be a million view idea, maybe. Cheers.

Gen 4 is underrated af… my favorite for that reason alone 😆. What can I say I like an underdog. In my opinion Gen 4 is the most underrated generation. Because of generation 4, Glock became more accessible to people with smaller hands, lefties, and frame improvements were made so that a weapon mounted light didn't crack the frame. We wouldn't have gen 5 without gen 4. Also, regarding the trigger difference: Like any generation of glock, the glock gen 4 trigger will be kinda stiff initially. This is normal. 500 rounds and beyond, the trigger smooths out like glass and becomes light and crisp. Just break her in. Gen 4 ftw.

But on the other hand how often did you hear the a dual recoil spring from Glock failed?!
