About the Gun

Fifth-generation iteration of this compact 9 mm pistol features a polymer frame without finger grooves, interchangeable backstraps for grip customization, and incorporates a modestly flared magazine well. It includes an ambidextrous slide stop lever along with an nDLC finish on the slide. The design utilizes the Glock Marksman Barrel with conventional rifling and a revised crown profile, while later production examples added front slide serrations. The overall configuration maintains the established short-recoil, locked-breech operating system with a striker-fired trigger mechanism and standard fixed sights.

Analysis

This model incorporated refinements intended to respond to user input regarding grip ergonomics and slide manipulation from earlier generations while preserving the platform’s established dimensions and reliability characteristics. The shift to conventional rifling in the Marksman Barrel and the updated slide coating represented departures from prior designs, and internal component adjustments supported consistent function across ammunition types. In practice, the pistol saw continued use in law enforcement, defensive, and concealed carry roles until Glock phased out most Gen5 models in late 2025 as part of a transition to V-series replacements. Secondary market availability remains high due to the volume of units produced, resulting in steady pricing for serviceable examples.
