Glock Gen 5s mismatched flawed frame/slide, buy now? or..........

All guns are reasonably well designed and made. Like cars today.
Like it or not all polymer striker fired pistols are going to be compared to and owe a debt of gratitude to the Glocks. They are the ones that popularised the genre. Not invented, but they took off sales wise.

This. Although I would not suggest that Glock is the standard all others are compared to. I think those who shoot handguns compare trigger pulls, accuracy and quality of build more in a general sense. The 1911 crisp trigger for example comes up frequently as the standard for which most gun owners would reference and base their comparisons on.

Glock certainly, set a standard when it was first introduced in the 80's. That was about 38 years ago. We now have pistols in this genre that allow for changing the sights in less than five minutes by the owner, capable of accuracy high end 1911's used to strive for, stock triggers that rival the vaunted 1911 and reliability on base models that was unhead of 50 years ago. All this can be had for under $800Cdn or under $600US which is remarkable. There is no reason to limit oneself to one brand and most don't.

You are easily amused so hold on to your ass. BTW who mentioned M&P's? Not in my post but I am sure those who buy that design over the Glock have a personal preference for the M&P which would make it a better design for their needs. Not everyone likes finger grooves or slides that crack or a pistol that has one of the worse stock triggers in a pistol costing north of $700.

I own:

Tanfoglio "L" 9MM & 40cal
Walther Q5 Match & PPQ M2 5"
M&P PRO x 2 one in 40 cal and one in 9MM
M&P FS 40cal
SIG 226 Mke 25
2 Beretta 92A1's, a 92A1 Compact, Girsan
Norinco 1911's 3x 45acp
CZ Shadow, New Edition, 75 Shadowline and an 85 Combat (the best DA and SA trigger pull of any of my guns thanks to Ken Soucie)
a handful of revolvers both SA and DA/SA

Note, none are Glocks. I don't care for the Luger angle of the grip so I spend my money on other designs. The M&P Pros with Apex triggers and the Walthers that are stock have triggers that your Glocks should wish for. They are far more comfortable to shoot in my hands. When you shoot competitively you want a gun you shoot well. The guns I own and shoot do that for me. My money, my choices.

What is laughable is your childish commentary. Not everyone thinks the Glock is a leading edge design or it's build quality is comparable to say a Walther, FN or HK. Hint the Glocks are not.

Have they finally figured out how to disassemble without having to pull the trigger?
That's the dumbest #### ever. US military would have this as a service pistol if they would have addressed this 2 gens ago.
I do like them, have a Gen3 22, pretty indestructible, handles 40s&w better then my 1911's.
M&P is a better pistol IMHO (have one of those too). Design is just a bit more refined.

Oh yes that's the main reason why our company never went to the glock.....they deemed it too dangerous to pull the trigger for disassembly.....we got the MP40 instead:bangHead:
