This review of the Glock 19 V, often dubbed 'Gen 5.5', details its creation as a response to legal challenges regarding full-auto conversions. The reviewer, with high authority due to technical insights and live-fire testing, confirms 500-round reliability and full compatibility with various aftermarket magazines, noting subtle internal changes designed to prevent 'switch' modifications. The analysis critiques Glock's market strategy, suggesting a focus on corporate liability over civilian offerings.
The new Glock V Model shares many similarities with the Gen 5 but features distinct internal slide modifications, including a smaller striker lug and narrower firing pin channel. While visually similar, slide cover plates are not interchangeable. The trigger pull weight remains consistent at 4.25-4.5 lbs. Importantly, the V Model slide can be custom milled for RMR optics, despite lacking a factory MOS version.
Leaked images reveal Glock's new V Series pistols, featuring a two-pin design consistent with Gen 5 models. Internal slide modifications include ridges to prevent aftermarket selector switch installation, and frame changes suggest a modified trigger reset mechanism to prevent auto-resetting. The speaker, a certified Glock armorer, plans a technical review upon availability.
