when did the glock gen 5 come out?
january 14, 2018
in august 2017, glock presented the "fifth generation" or "gen5". the revisions centered on ergonomics and improving reliability. many parts of fifth-generation glock pistols cannot be interchanged with those of the previous generations. the two fifth-generation models announced were the glock 17 and glock 19, chambered for the 9×19 mm parabellum. some conspicuous changes on the fifth-generation models are: ambidextrous slide stop levers, ndlc (diamond-like carbon) surface finish for barrel and slide, a barrel featuring a revised style of polygonal rifling (called the “glock marksman barrel” by glock), a deeper recessed barrel crown, omission of the finger grooves on the grip, a flared magazine well, and a reintroduction of a (half moon shaped) cutout on the bottom front of the grip. the locking block pin located above the trigger pin that was introduced in the third-generation is omitted. many internal parts were less conspicuously revised.

bullet::::- the glock 45 is a black colored version of the glock 19x that incorporates gen5 features catered for police use. the glock 45 features a glock 17 grip with a glock 19 slide with front slide serrations. unlike the glock 19x, the glock 45 features a flared magazine well like on the gen 5 glocks, but without the half moon cut at the front of the magazine well. the gen 5 17 round magazines will work in the glock 45, because unlike the 19x, the glock 45 does not have the front lip on the magazine well that blocks the gen 5 17 round magazine's extended floor plate from locking into the magazine well.
