Gen 5 Glock - Do I need one?

[DireWolf]

Been having the same internal debate, and as a lefty, I think the ambi slide release will be the closer on a G19 Gen5 (also potentially a big deal for righty's shooting weak-side)...

The left-side-only slide release is just about the only thing I truly dislike about prior-gen Glocks (makes locking back the slide a total pain in the ass), with the absolute shit slide finish on the Gen4's running a close second...


ETA: Having heard that the new Gen5 finish is much harder and closer to the old tenifer finish, that may be enough reason to upgrade for anyone not happy with seeing their Gen4 slide worn down almost to bare metal after a handful of holster draws (a bit of hyperbole there, but not by much)...
