Don't own one yet but is probably going to be my next purchase. Here's my only idea to that question.
Oh, I've got just a few Glocks in my safes. But why a Gen 5?

That makes two of us. The Gen 3 fits my hand like a glove.
Surely you are joking? Why not? is the better question.Just a question to all Glock owners. Why buy the Gen 5 if you already own a Gen 2, Gen 3 or Gen 4?
Just curious.
Your 31 that you made right?To be fair, my 31 had light strike issues (fired on 2nd time around) when it got up to 1470 rounds w/out cleaning.
My M&P, hasn't been cleaned in over 2800 rounds currently, and no issues - aside from being a dirty little whore.

What side is that ambi safety on?Hmmmm......
I have Gen 2 - 17 that I love. I like the ambi safety. Being left handed and all that. It would need to have the same soft shooting characteristics as my Gen 2. I would have to try one first.
He's not. And stop calling him surely. LolSurely you are joking? Why not? is the better question.
Hogue not needed.
I have a Dremel and am not afraid to use it!
It's easy to do, right?
No, I'm serious. You've got the Gen 2 without finger grooves, the G3-4 with finger grooves. Some upgrades along the way too. What is the selling point of the G5?
Your 31 that you made right?
That would be an atypical result for any Glock. You could probably never replicate that.Didn't make the slide, that was factory new.
And can't really blame the FCG, that's factory Glock - that functioned without a hitch for over 1450 rounds w/out cleaning.
**Although if anything, I'm to blame for it - I run every new firearm until it malfunctions. It's how I set my baselines for service/maintenance.
It's what virtually every other manufacturer aspires to be. If you want a pretty pistol go buy a 1911 or one of the old school Sigs that are safe to drop like a 226 or 229. Every polymer framed pistol is copied from or inspired by Glock.
Glad they nuked the finger grooves, that is one of the major reasons I don't own a glock. That, and the finger bump in the trigger guard, which sadly doesn't appear to be improved. I have giant hands Glock, throw me a bone here. Still, I'll fondle a G5 19 once I find one somewhere.
