Um, no. Unless Glock chopped and fattened the G19 lower to make it the size of a 30s and I never heard about it.They do 30s
45 ACP.Quijibo Glock does. Its the Glock 38 or 39 in 45 Gap.
Fits in same holster. Looks the same over all side by side. As close as you are gonna get in 45 acp Feels the same to me on the draw. Kicks moreUm, no. Unless Glock chopped and fattened the G19 lower to make it the size of a 30s and I never heard about it.

Sad news to hear. One of the all time.greatsChuck Taylor passed away on May 5 2020. May he rest in peace. He was a great one. I loved reading his articles. He walked the walk!
It is the GT wayResurrect a 10 year old thread to have a caliber debate. Amazing.
It kind of makes you wonder why people think the Gen 5's are so greatly "Improved" over previous generations.I've lost track! What is the latest report on how many rounds Chuck Taylor had fired through his Generation 1 Glock 17?
I really like my 17.5. The new "Polymid traction Rough Textured Frame" (Gen 4 grip texture) without finger grooves, larger magazine release, beveled muzzle area, forward slide serrations, ambidextrous slide release, and slightly flared magazine well are very nice features that I think distinguish the Gen 5 Model 17 from its predecessors.It kind of makes you wonder why people think the Gen 5's are so greatly "Improved" over previous generations.
to me the biggest improvement was the elimination of the finger grooves which the Gen 1's didn't have.
My guess is environmental and/or other government regulations in the USA prevent them from using the older finishes.The Gen5 IS better in every way, except the finish. What Chuck Taylor did with his 17, such as leaving it in the ocean for 6 months, thousands upon thousands of holster presentations and constantly being dropped or thrown on the ground over many years would reveal a surface bereft of the finish and no doubt much rust and pitting on a Gen5. Why Glock chose to degrade the finish and rust proof ability of the pistol is baffling to me. It was one of the primary selling points of the pistol back when I bought my first one, a Gen1 17, in 1988.
They're still using a nitride base finish. It's the outer finish that is less than optimal. My Gen 4's have 10,000 rounds each on them and they still look as good as the day that I bought them.My guess is environmental and/or other government regulations in the USA prevent them from using the older finishes.
Is this one a record for oldest restructured thread?It is the GT way
Probably not. There have been some old onesIs this one a record for oldest restructured thread?
This! I'll add the addition of the rail from the Gen 3 forward was a very good addition to the design. Also, in the Gen 5 we have ambi controls which are important for left-handed folks as well as right-handed folks in the event they have to manipulate the other side controls if injured. All are excellent enhancements.I really like my 17.5.
