In a previous Lock, Stock & Barrel, American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach looked at some of the changes in Glock’s newest iteration of handguns, the Gen5s. Now Kurtenbach is heading to the range with the Glock 19 Gen5 to see if those changes translate into improved performance. Can you get a better grip without finger grooves? Is the Glock Marksman Barrel hyper-accurate? Has Glock finally addressed its notorious plastic sights?

Find out by watching this week's NRA Gun Gear of the Week video above.
