Mine landed on Saturday. Done a not so short video on it:

For those you cba with the 3d printer in the background or my waffling:
Largely similar in spec to the G17 MOS. So loads of spare/upgrade parts on the market already.

Because it’s declared as a RIF, it’s almost impossible to avoid customs fees. The RIF is inspected to make sure it complies with VCRA06, then they look at the paperwork and charge you.Nice. From Impulse? Did you manage to avoid customs fees which meant you got it quicker? Mine is sitting at my local depot but they won't let me pay the fees yet
Mine was sat with customs for about a week before they released it. Was charged about 20% which is kinder than the 22% they’d normally charge.

You can put your tracking number in to get how much you owe and pay that way, although when I did it a few days ago their website kept giving me an error. Not sure if it’s just me or in general though? That being said, I paid my duty fee Friday and it’s still “pending payment” which is annoying

My G19 Gen5 MOS arrived last Saturday but got stuck at the local PFW center. I had to go pick it up in person and pay the customs duties on the spot.
I have to admit this is the best GBB pistol in my entire collection. But for the past couple of days, I've been bothered by that “bite” when cycling the slide. I thought I'd received a defective unit where the nozzle tip and hop-up height didn't align.
It wasn't until I saw yours doing the same thing that I realized this is how this batch of G19s is designed.
After two days of heavy use, the slide feels much easier to cycle now.

I encountered the same issue as you. So I decided to call Parcel Force for updates. After waiting for two hours—yes, a full two hours—they told me I just needed to go to the PFW center where the parcel was held to pick it up myself. Bring your photo ID and proof of address; usually your driver's license will suffice. Their efficiency is truly abysmal—it feels like they're forcing us to go there ourselves to pay customs duties and retrieve our parcels.

Bloody hell. I gave up after being on the phone for just over an hour.
I don’t drive and the local PFW centre is just over an hours drive away
I sent an email to them earlier whilst waiting for the phone so maybe I can get a response otherwise it’ll be taking the time to get to the centre, delightful

Yeah, I gave up long ago with phoning them. You’re supposed to be able to pay customs charges online using the tracking no but their website was down over the weekend.
I happened to be in the area so chanced it and picked up my parcel. Otherwise I’d probably still be waiting for the tax letter

I just checked my tracking and thankfully my “Pending” is now “Ready for delivery” so I can avoid a long journey on public transport

Small update:
The g19 frame accepts G17.5 Magwell. I’ve tried 3 of them and most of them need slight modification to the Magwell so it doesn’t press on the magazine.
Also, the plight PL-X fits nicely on the G45/G19
I've had the honor to bring with me from my trip in japan to my house in italy the new glock 19 gen 5 MOS and some new magazines on the day-one in japan.
Since I'm new to the gbb world, do you have any advice on how to improve the reliability of the glock, like mechanical parts?
I already have tm AEG items and i know some part are fragile because it's plastic or weak metal, since the glock are rare to find out i want to be sure the gun it's reliable as possible and prevent usless inconvinient.

Since it’s a TM I wouldn’t change anything apart from maybe inner barrel and hop parts. Also since it’s a brand new model it’s hard to know its weaknesses yet.
I’d wait until something breaks.
Historically if you use the propper gas a TM will last a very long time as it is.

I’ve honestly become obsessed with this pistol lately. Took it to a CQB game on Sunday and managed a 10-kill streak with it — I genuinely don’t have the words to describe how good it feels to run.
Now I’m seriously tempted to throw some serious money at it, but I’m not sure where to start. A magwell is definitely on the list — do you have any recommendations?
Would you change the inner barrel and hop rubber at this stage, or leave them stock? Or is there something else you’d prioritise first?
By the way, I really enjoy your YouTube content — I think I’ve officially turned into a Marui Glock addict at this point

So I’ve done a bit of testing and Magwell wise, you can fit the bomber TTI Magwell or the JDG Magwell. For the JDG Magwell you’ll have to shave some of the Magwell flare on the grip as it squeezes the mag on insertion which causes problems.I’ve honestly become obsessed with this pistol lately.

I’ve fitted a TTI hop unit (g19/gen5 variant) and a nineball power barrel with a PF hop rubber. There’s nothing wrong with the stock tm barrel and hop rubber, I keep them as spares. But you’ll get a much better grouping on the TTI hop unit. I only use the nineball barrel to increase muzzle energy. The TM stock barrels are GOAT and you won’t find many options that are as good.
I’d also recommend the guarder lightweight blowback unit to further improve gas efficiency.
If you’re running after market mags or a metal slide. The Proarms 130% nozzle springs are also worth while.

There’s nothing you need to do. Leave it stock. The slide is made of a carbon fibre polymer so it will survive indefinitely as long as you’re not putting high powered gas through it.
I’d suggest something like ultrair or abbey ultra in summer and regular green gas if it’s very cold in winter.

Ah gotcha mate
When you mentioned the Guarder lightweight BBU, did you mean the GLK-526A (Light Weight Nozzle Housing for the TM G17/19 Gen5 MOS)?
Are the GLK-529 valve & spring set, GLK-530 loading nozzle and GLK-519 piston lid included with that, or are those all separate bits?
Thanks for the advice by the way — I’m gonna grab the TTI hop unit and a stainless 6.01 barrel. Magwell wise I’ll just go Bomber to keep it simple.
For the magwell install, do I need to remove the lanyard loop first? And once it’s on, does that mean no more backstraps?
Appreciate the help
