Yessir, the photo 3 posts up is my new Gen 5 G30 next to the Shield 45 for comparison. I like it. Trigger is better than earlier Gens, in my limited opinion, and the barrel no longer has pure polygonal rifling. Gonna try my hardcast lead reloads to see how it does, don't really want to buy an aftermarket barrel for it. Slide finish is not as dull as previous versions, but not a problem for me. Tore it down, got it "range ready" but it looks like I won't make the range until the 18th. Updates after trigger time.
