Glock presented a new generation of pistols
Pistols Glock 17 and Glock 19 of the fifth generation (Gen 5) outwardly almost do not differ from their "ancestors" - internal details have undergone changes weapons. According to Josh Dorsey, vice-president of Glock, the pistol’s design remained the same, but the weapons received updated knots created “according to new standards”, reports "Warspot"
The Glock 17 and Glock 19 Gen 5 received an updated barrel with a new grooving technology. The changes affected the trigger mechanism - now it works on the principle of compression, not stretching, as before. Pistols have a modified return spring and a modified fuse. In addition, minor changes were made to the design of the store.
Such significant changes in the design make the interchangeability of parts of pistols of the fifth and fourth generations even smaller than that of the fourth and third generations. In this case, the company Glock indicate that the new guns have become even more reliable compared to its predecessors. So, if the standard quality indicator for a pistol is to shoot 11 000 cartridges without a misfire and delays caused by a weapon, then the first samples of Glock 17 Gen 5 were shot at using 30 000 cartridges.
Last August, Glock released Glock 17M and Glock 19M pistols for power structures. According to Josh Dorsey, they are the first representatives of the fifth generation, and in the coming days, the Glock 17 Gen 5 and Glock 19 Gen 5 pistols will appear on the civilian weapons market.
