The Glock G19 Gen 5 represents the culmination of decades of engineering refinement on Glock’s iconic compact platform. With its nDLC-finished Marksman Barrel, removal of the finger grooves for improved grip compatibility, and the introduction of ambidextrous controls, the Gen 5 delivers the most complete factory Glock experience to date. Whether carried as a daily concealed carry pistol, used in law enforcement service, or shot in competition, the Glock 19 Gen 5 rewards shooters with consistent, accurate performance — provided every internal component is in top condition and properly tuned for the intended application.
The striker spring, also known as the firing pin spring, is a small but critical component in the Glock’s Safe Action trigger system. It controls the energy stored in the striker and directly influences trigger pull weight and reset characteristics. Competitive shooters often replace the factory striker spring with a lighter-weight alternative to achieve a crisper trigger break and faster reset. The Ghost Inc. Glock 1.5lb Self Defense XPower Striker Spring 6lb (GHO-SS-6.0) is a popular upgrade that reduces the factory striker spring weight to 6 pounds, resulting in a noticeably lighter and crisper trigger pull while maintaining the reliable primer ignition required for self-defense use. This spring is engineered specifically for the Glock platform and is fully compatible with the Gen 5 action.
