Going to be hard finding a new one at full retail under $5.....but put yourself on the notification list from several of the larger online retailers and a special may pop up from time to time under that cap. In my neck of the woods, brand new G19s are to be found between $550 and $600- not sure if they go for a premium in CA.
Glock will sometimes offer factory-refurbished trade in specials as well which have full warranty support and may bring the price down a bit, but these usually sell out fast for obvious reasons.
Honestly, if you shoot one and it fits you well, the Glock 19 is one of the most popular and trusted law enforcement and self-defense guns of the last 3 decades with a near-mythical reputation for reliability and durability. If I found a "cosmetically challenged" used example that is mechancally sound, I would not hesitate to carry it and trust my life to it.
Just my 2c of course. Nothing wrong with holding out for new.
This find a good used Glock 19 or 17. Like this one. $399 CA legal
