Notes
The Gen5 G19 is slightly heavier than the Gen4 (610g vs 600g without magazine) and wider (34mm vs 32mm) due to the redesigned frame. Like the G17 Gen5, early production models had a half-moon cutout at the base of the grip which was later removed. The Gen5 added front slide serrations from the start on later production runs. The nDLC finish provides significantly better corrosion resistance than the Gen4's Tenifer treatment. Compatible with all standard G19 magazines plus G17 magazines for extended capacity.
