This video provides an in-depth comparison between the Glock 19 Gen 5 and the new Glock 19 V (Model V), highlighting key internal engineering differences designed to prevent the installation of aftermarket full-auto conversion switches. The presenter, demonstrating high expertise, confirms that while external appearances may be similar, internal components are not interchangeable between the Gen 5 and the V models. Despite these internal changes, live fire tests indicate no significant difference in trigger pull or shooting experience.
This guide details the internal modifications found in the new Glock V models, as presented by Lenny Magill. Key differences include a smaller striker lug, a narrower firing pin channel, and new ramp features within the slide. The video also highlights that slide cover plates are not interchangeable between the V model and Gen 5 due to design variations. This information is crucial for gunsmiths and advanced Glock enthusiasts looking to understand the latest internal changes.
The Glock V-Series represents Glock's response to legal pressures, introducing subtle internal modifications to prevent easy conversion to full-auto fire. Key changes include raised ridges in the breach area and an angled striker channel, making it harder to install auto sears. While the overall feel remains similar to Gen 5, some popular models like the 19 and 17 will no longer feature the MOS system out of the box, with only select larger caliber models and the 19X Threaded Barrel MOS retaining it.
This video provides an expert analysis of leaked images for the new Glock V Series pistols, specifically the 17 V and 19 V. The speaker, a certified Glock armorer, details internal modifications aimed at preventing aftermarket selector switches and auto-reset triggers, likely in response to legal pressures. The V Series retains the Gen 5 two-pin design. An official Glock contact has been established for future reviews.
