Videos tagged with Glock 19 Gen 5 COA

This video provides a first look at the Glock 19 Gen5 COA, a limited edition collaboration with Aimpoint. The presenter highlights the firearm's standard Gen5 features, including ambidextrous controls, and notes its significant aftermarket value. The integrated Aimpoint ACRO P-2 optic features a 3.5 MOA dot, mounted via the rear sight set screws. Initial shooting impressions are positive, with a full review promised.

Glock has indefinitely halted civilian sales of its COA (Optics Ready) equipped pistols, including the Glock 47 COA and Glock 19 Gen 5 COA. This decision is reportedly to prioritize production capacity for large-scale military orders, potentially indicating a shift in US military handgun adoption away from the Sig Sauer M17/M18/P320 platform due to reported safety concerns and a preference for optics-equipped firearms.

This video features a range day with several firearms, including the Glock 19 Gen 5 with an Aimpoint COA optic, the OA Defense 2311 Compact Pro Plus, and a P320 Australian Mod. The presenter discusses initial impressions, shooting performance, and some reliability issues encountered, particularly with the OA Defense 2311 and the Glock 19's optic co-witness setup. The Glock 19 Gen 5 is noted for its reliable performance, while the OA Defense 2311 experienced stovepipe failures, potentially due to being dry or issues with ported barrels, prompting further testing.
