In reply to Geoff "I'm getting too old for this shit" PR. Ambidextrous slide release is one of the new features on the gen 5 models.

I’m still not a fan of RMRs on handguns. TEHO.

In reply to Sam I Am (the least interesting man in the world).

“And we have zero information about how many LE refuse to adequately maintain firearms, much less optics, properly to get the best chance of actually having PMO “turn on”, due to dead batteries (yes, batteries are supposed to outlast the human, but a misalignment of the PMO due to rough use (i.e. poor gun handling skills), or poor maintenance cannot be shucked off.”

As I understand it, the better ones are always on and have something like a 50,000 hour battery life, or about 5 years of always on.

Was my information in error?

My “example” set regarding observation of police (LE) handgun shooting scared me to the point that I left the range well before my allotted time slot expired. My estimate is the overall accuracy is “minuet-of-human…at best. Coupled with watching non-LE people swing their laser sights all over the place trying to line up the “perfect” head shot, I would judge shooting outcomes no better (at best) than newbies firing their guns for the first time. Thinking that LE rarely fire their handguns at ranges beyond the magic three yards, and that PMOs for LE are a waste of money.

The pic on top of the article seriously confuses me.

It’s labeled a GLOCK 19 Gen5, yet the slide release is on the right side. I thought the picture may have been simply inverted, but no, also on that side it shows the cutout for the magazine release button sits, so no, that’s correct.

Is Glock making left-hand frames with the slide release button on the opposite side of the frame?
