Wait till you see what they look like on the inside

Robbie with Wheaton Arms sat down with the Sootch00 YouTube gun channel and contrasted the new Glock Gen 5 against legacy Gen 4 and 3 models both inside and out.

There are actually a lot of differences.

Still, as when they introduced the Gen 4 and it went through a year of teething problems and stealth fixes, I’ll wait a year for the bugs to get worked out of the Gen 5.

Call me old-fashioned, but I am still a Gen 3 guy when it comes to my combat tupperware.

When first introduced thirty year ago, the polymer-framed Glock safety action pistol was one of the most innovative handguns of the 20th Century. Now, well into the 21st, the Glock has evolved over four full generations (and several partial ones) to keep up with the times and give the public what they want. With that in mind, which is your favorite?

I’ll give you a hint, mines got an RTF2 in the designation..
