Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Lipsey's Exclusive Glock 19 Gen5 models unique?

These Glocks feature frames made from factory-colored polymer (Grey and FDE), not a surface coating like Cerakote. They also include matching colored backstraps, offering a consistent aesthetic.

How does the Lipsey's Exclusive Glock 19 compare to the standard Gen5 model?

It shares the Gen5 improvements like a smoother trigger and ambidextrous slide stop. However, it retains the front strap cutout found on standard Gen5s, which some find uncomfortable, unlike the MOS variant.

What is the main disadvantage of the Lipsey's Exclusive Glock 19 Gen5?

The primary con is the price. These models retail around $699, which is approximately $100-$150 more expensive than a standard black Glock 19 Gen5.

Are the colored frames on the Lipsey's Glocks durable?

Yes, because the color is integral to the polymer frame material itself, rather than being a surface treatment like Cerakote, it's expected to be more durable and resistant to wear.
