Pros

Extremely reliable and low-maintenance (standard Glock trait).

Improved ergonomics over prior gens for many shooters (no finger grooves, ambi controls).
Wide aftermarket support (sights, triggers, holsters, mags, optics cuts on FS/MOS models). Guns.com

Cons / things to consider

Size: full-size — not ideal for deep concealment compared with compact models (e.g., G19).
Holster/part compatibility: some older Gen-3/4 holsters or parts may not fit perfectly (Gen-5 frame differences).
Some shooters prefer Gen-4 finger grooves or different trigger feel — preference is subjective.

Typical price range (market examples)

Prices vary by dealer, country, and configuration (FS, MOS, optics-ready). Typical U.S. retail listings in recent years have ranged roughly $500–$625 new depending on features and vendor; used examples run lower. (Check local dealers for exact current pricing and availability).

Shooters who want a reliable full-size 9mm for range, home defense, or duty use.
People who appreciate modular, well-supported platforms with tons of aftermarket parts.
If you want easier concealability, consider a compact model (G19) instead.

Basic maintenance tips

Clean barrel, slide rails, and recoil spring assembly regularly (follow Glock owner manual).
Use recommended 9mm ammo and magazines from reputable manufacturers.
Replace recoil spring assembly periodically per Glock’s maintenance recommendations if you shoot a lot.
