Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Glock 19 Gen 5 and previous generations?
The Gen 5 introduced several meaningful upgrades over earlier models, including the Glock Marksman Barrel for enhanced accuracy, an ambidextrous slide stop lever, a flared mag-well for faster reloads, the removal of finger grooves on the grip for a more universal fit, and the improved nDLC corrosion-resistant finish on the slide and barrel. These refinements make the Gen 5 the most polished version of the iconic G19 to date.
Is the Glock 19 Gen 5 a good choice for concealed carry?
Absolutely. The Glock 19 Gen 5 strikes an ideal balance between concealability and capacity. Its compact dimensions make it manageable under a variety of carry configurations — IWB, OWB, or appendix — while its 15-round magazine ensures you are never short on firepower. The consistent trigger pull and passive safety systems also make it a safe and reliable choice for everyday carry.
What magazines are compatible with the Glock 19 Gen 5?
The Glock 19 Gen 5 is compatible with all standard Glock 9mm double-stack magazines, including Glock 17 (17-round) and Glock 18 (33-round) magazines, which fit and function reliably due to the shared platform design. Note that California law restricts magazine capacity to 10 rounds, so ensure any magazine you purchase complies with current state regulations.
