Glock 19 Gen 5 without Front Serrations?

[The Glockodile]

Anybody know where to find one?

They seem to have been around ~ 2019 to 2020.

Gunbroker’s dry.

They would be non-current production. I believe all Gen 5 G19's now have the front cocking serrations.

There may be some special orders, like Lipsey's or Vicker's models that omit them though.

Looks like it

I hate talking to the Gun Shop clerks who say with such authority that “...all Gen 5 Glocks were made with serrations.”

They bring up memories of threads which invoke the words "engineer," "physics," "ballistics," "momentum," "kinetic energy," "data" and whatnot...

I’m not sure when I bought mine, but it’s a BGUT serial number prefix.

No front serrations and it has the magazine well cutout.

Yeah, they added the serrations with the FS model (and MOS) and dumped the front strap cutout. Then they made it the basic model.

I think it's needed if you overhand the slide and your hands ever get wet or sweaty, the Gen 5 finish is slick as snot. Ugly, but I think necessary.

I'm very happy with dropping the front strap cutout, that thing was just death to my pinky.

I'm thinking you might need to find a non FS one used somewhere.

I do like my Gen 2 .. nothing like a plain slide .. no finger groves , no removable back straps & no rail

If only it also had no cutout. Then it'd be perfection. And no, those little baseplates didn't help me much.

I have a Gen 5 19, plain slide with the cutout. They must have changed something with the Gen 5's grips, as even though the cutout is there, I dont really find it all that annoying like I did the Gen 2's. Still, Id prefer it wasnt there all the same, but it is what it is. The grip is still kind of cramped though, as most 19's are. No change there.

I had a couple early Gen 2 19's that had the cutout and they drove me nuts, and that cutout was my major complaint with them.

I took a look and Lipsey's shows a G19M, the FBI spec gun has no front cocking serrations, though there is no picture.

I replaced the base plates … unusual ;-0

Yep and she is the only 9MM that I have and shoot. The wife owns the other 9s that she shoots...

I’ve got two 19’s. One with FS and the other without. They feel about the same to me when shooting. Performance is the same, as you’d expect

you might look into a Glock 19M. That may be a good option for you.

I have a 19M, it doesn't have front serrations but it does have the cutout on the front of the grip. It came with nice Ameriglo sights too.
