There are differences between Gen 4 and Gen 5. Noticeably the ambi features. Gen 5 also uses a regular rifling barrel, Gen 5 for me has a nicer trigger and uses a single pin to hold it all, a mag flair on all models except the 19X, and finally the most noticable Gen 5 uses a different coating method than Gen 4.
What I noticed; the increased grip size of the 19x makes it preferable/more controllable shooting vs the standard 19 (gen 4, no experience w/gen 5). The shorter/lighter slide of the 19 makes it cycle quicker (perceived as softer to you maybe?) than a 17. The shorter sight radius makes it easy to track as well.
At 5.47 inches, the Model 17 has a frame that is taller by just under half an inch than the Model 19’s 5.04 inches. The Model 17 weighs 32.3 ounces unloaded. The smaller Model 19 weighs 23.6 ounces. Barrel and slide length are where we see the biggest difference between the Glock 17 and the Glock 19. The Gen 4 Model 17 has a slide length of 7 MikeG36. 3464 posts · Joined 2011. #7 · Feb 23, 2019. In my hands, my most accurate G19 is my Gen 3. I was expecting better out of my Gen 5 and was a bit disappointed. But my Gen 5 (or me) seems to have improved a bit as it gets more rounds through it.

Go with Gen 4 or even better is the Gen 3. Two of my Emergency response team members ordered the Gen 5 G26's and both had jamming problems. One had the slide lock release lever spring jump out of place. I am not a fan of the ambidextrous slide release lever modification Glock did in the Gen 5. I currently have, and/or have owned 7 Glock Gen 3's.

The G17 takes generous 17-round magazines and the 19 holds 15 rounds, meaning no compromises on capacity. Glock 17 (G17) Standard, Full-Size Handgun, Available in 3rd, 4th, in 5th Generation Models.

Glock Generation 5 pistols are very slightly larger than their Gen 4 counterparts do they still fit in the holster?**I misidentify the holster in this vid
Glock also offered the Glock 41 Gen 4 with an MOS option for an optic. The standard Glock 21 Gen 4 is not listed on Glock’s site with an optics cut, though that was added in the later Gen 5 pistols.

In terms of weight, there’s a significant difference between the two pistols. The G19 weighs around 30 ounces with a fully loaded magazine, while the G48 weighs around 25 ounces. On top of that, the overall length of the Glock 48 is shorter than that of the Glock 19. The two guns don’t have the same barrel length either.
The gen 5 Glock 19 MOS is the exact same form and function as the regular gen 5 Glock 19 with the added cut out to accommodate a base plate for a red dot sight. Similar to the base Glock 19 model, the MOS version is a compact pistol being smaller than the full-sized Glock 17 and larger than the subcompact Glock 26. .
