A lot of negative reviews on the Gen 5 for sure.  They are ugly, I agree, they just chopped out parts of the front slide, without changing the design of the polymer frame to match it, so the pistol looks like it has a giant underbite or something.  On top of that, they are completely inconsistent, put 10 G17 or G19 Gen 5 up beside one another, and none of them have the same size cut out, it's ridiculous, and that's far from the only complaint or issue.  Many or coming with the rear sights WAY out of position, yes, it's no major thing to just move them, but many shooters don't have the tools or experience to do this properly as well.  Some of the changes aren't bad, removing the finger grooves, the new barrel, and perhaps even the ambi slide release, but the rest of the stuff isn't very popular right now so far as the "gun" media goes.
