Exploded View: Glock 19 Gen5
Developed as the service sidearm for Austria’s military, the Glock 17 is one of the early designs that laid the groundwork for today’s crop of polymer-frame, striker-fired 9 mm Luger semi-automatic handguns. The Glock 19 was released as a “compact” variant in 1988 and has evolved through several generations, terminating most recently with the Gen5 introduced in 2017.
