The recently announced Glock 19 Gen5 Altamont Tactical Custom model is the only G10 Glock upgrade on the market and the only Gen 5 with upgraded fingergroove fronstrap. The Altamont Exclusive models feature patent-pending, permanent G10 reinforced polymer frame upgrades. The grip inserts, which are CNC-machined, have an aggressive deep star texture and matte finish which increase frame rigidity and improve grip surface ergonomics and tactile functionality. The custom G19 grey/black slide features front serrations and matching deep star stipple for improved functionality. The Glock 19 Gen5 Tactical Custom Model joins Altamont’s extensive offering of handgun grips, rifle stocks, accessories, and metal engraving, which are all made in America and available at altamontco.com. To see the Glock 19 Gen5 Tactical Custom model here, please visit Gunbroker.com.
