    Yeah, so I just bought a factory G32 slide assembly.

    It was either that, or just buy replacement sights for my 31 slide assembly. I make sound decisions like that.

    How much? I think it is a sound decision.

    Under $440 shipped.

    I only paid $367.75 shipped, for the 31 slide assembly - but I haven't seen the 31/32's for that cheap since. I could go cheaper and do a mix-match with used parts, but after replacing all the internals and finding barrels - I'll just take the hit and get a factory new take-off.

    Absolutely. I have two Gen 2 G17's and two Gen 2 G19's. My favorite guns by far.

    Gen 2 G19's are a great handgun. That was my CCW until I got my G26. If I was going into battle (Baltimore or Philadelphia), I'd carry the G19.

    BTW, I only have a NH permit, so most of my CCW is in PA.

    I almost bought a Glock 19 Gen 4, but went with the CZ P10c instead. Saved $100, and it has been very nice at the range so far.

    -No finger grooves
    -New barrels
    -Flared and beveled mag well
    -Mags now have high-visibility followers
    -Beveled front edge of slide assembly
    -Return to 2-pin system
    -New darker finish (not tenifer)
    -Ambidextrous slide stop
    -Maintains larger mag release of Gen4 models
    -Maintains dual recoil spring of Gen4 models

    My buddy tested some of them for a branch of the armed forces for training and really enjoyed them. He does in service refresher training in Japan and said it was a really nice little pistol

    Love the mag release but said the ambo slide release is worthless

    They All Look the Same to Me...What's the Big Deal...?

    I guess they had to get the Army offering out to compete against the APX, 509, P320...


    Updated internals with a new trigger. Better recoil system. Updated barrel.

    This isn't the same as Glock's entry for the Army's MHS competition. That model has a manual safety and a lanyard ring on the bottom. That's supposedly coming to the commercial market too at some point.

    This Glock is modeled after the version just adopted by the FBI. The FBI apparently didn't want Glock to make the same exact variant available to the public, if I read what I did correctly. I think the only notable difference with their model is that there are also forward slide serrations.

    Sounds good, But I am not a Glock Fan...just not comfortable in my paw.
