    How many have the Glock 23 Gen5? Opinions? I have one, but I'm not impressed with it. I have multiple holsters for Glocks, but the Gen 5 doesn't fit any of them. It feels bulky compared to my Gen 3. Other than that, I really don't see any differences. Starting to wonder if it was a wise purchase.

    I have one and I'm quickly buying up the Gen 5 line. I like the flared magwell and the tapering in the front of the slide. Makes holstering easier.

    The only drawback is Gen 5 threaded barrels are hard to get right now. That'll remedy itself soon enough.

    I had one, before I got rid of all my Glocks. Actually was one of my favorites. The extra slide mass dampens the snap of .40 really well. More pleasant to shoot than the Gen 4 that I also used to own,

    It does take a different holster than the other Glocks, due to the bit extra slide width.
