- This week on the Vickers Tactical TH-cam Channel we have a must-watch video for any Retro Firearms or Glock fans, the Glock P80. This Lipsey's exclusive is a brand new reproduction of the historic pistol that started it all for Glock. This was a dream project for me, that I never thought would happen, and I can't believe how well it turned out. Go check out the video and remember to Subscribe below.

This thing must have felt like a space Gun when it came out in the 80s. So cool
It felt like plastic to them. Nobody liked it at first.
@@duncanbrodie1 Exactly. Shooters back then were skeptical about a "plastic" terrorist special. No way it was equal to metal frame guns. Nor would you trust your life to them. We'd call them Fudds today.
The original triggers were mushy creepers, oh nevermind they still are....
Combat tupperware.
There's a fantastic book about the history of Glock, from the Austrian pistol trials and Gaston himself, right through to the most recent models. It went into depth about the early infamy in the public eyes, the myths, the unfounded fears, the Glock in popular culture, various trade show adventures/misadventures; I recommend it as I found it was very informative and enjoyable. I bought the Audible version myself. It's "Glock" by Paul M. Barrett.
You know that you're old when one of the `modern' handguns that you've had in your safe for years is now the latest retro fad.
I meannnn it's from the damn 80s
Where did you get a P80 from years ago?
The civilian model was released as the Glock 17 -- or did you just mean that you have a Gen 1 G17?
If by some chance you have a legit P80 and you live in the States, suoer cool. If you have a Glock 17 Gen 1, kinda cool. Anything after that, lame.
@@lon242 whats the difference? I am in the Austrian military and we now have Glock Gen4. Everyone calls them p80 since the first Glocks came into service in 1980. Even though we are using gen4 the official name is still P80
Cool. Quite a few changes as far as Glocks through the generations go; the number of pins used for the frame, parts interchangeability, etc. For example, the recoil spring used in a Gen 3 is no longer compatible with a Gen 4. Gen 5 introduced a new trigger and slide stop design and is largely no longer compatible with older gen guns.
What makes the original P80 and Glock 17 Gen 1 special in the American market is that so few of them were imported into the country before Glock really took off here with the Gen 2. An original Austrian military P80 is virtually impossible to find. You could maybe find a Glock 17 Gen 1 for ~$3000 which is kind of ridiculous. So, that's why people think this retro reissue is cool.
This is like a Man's home shopping network.
just need Tim Allen
_Glock: I am not here for the beauty pageant, I came to win._
The very first handgun I bought when I turned 21 back in ‘91 was my Glock 17 gen 1. Still have it and still enjoy it.
Let me say this...I’m a Glock fanboy and up until about three days ago, I had no idea this was being introduced. As soon as I found out, I tried ordering one on line, but I found one locally. It is now part of my collection. I just had to have it!
Aaron B I have two 27s. Was my backup/off duty gun for a bit. It’s snappy for sure, but I was confident in the caliber and my abilities with it. Now, I carry the 43 since it’s just so damn convenient.
Pretty sure they make 9mm conversion barrels for G27’s correct me if I am wrong
I've been carrying the same Gen 1 for over 30 years (I prefer the smooth finish). I can finally replace her.
"Plastic sights which Glock is famous for"
*infamous lol
I like their plastic sights.
the sights are polymer the frame is plastic
I believe the word is infamous.
@@fjjwfp7819 plastic is pejorative,
polymer is complimentary.
Please leave, find somewhere else to be
I am still shooting my Glock 17 Gen 1.
me too
same
And those pieces are worth some cabbage right now
@@boomerrumor8252 no kidding ? How Much?
@@PHXGlock 2 to 3 grand
This pistol in a Glock collection is like having an original Colt 1911 as made prior to the "A1" modification after 1924.
Next Retro Reproduction bucket list: CZ 75 "Pre-B" and SIG P210
Edit: talking about reproductions, Fap-Pietta made a Colt 1911 WWI repro, I think Larry should check it out
I’d buy a 210 in a heartbeat!
HK P7.
@Aaron B Yes, produced from 1949 onwards.
Isn't p210 in production now
The one with more extreme slide and frame scallops? The reason why CZ stopped doing the pistol that way was for mass production, they used lesser quality steel, which was less harsh on the milling equipment, but added more material to compensate (and, again, less milling time).
Even though I dont need one I feel I must have one.
Now we need the glock 19 variant of this and we’re solid!
I would love to see this same pistol as a Glock 19
Gen2 19 and im in.
No such thing, the point of this is to be the first ever Glock which was originally called a p80 aka Pistole 1980 for the year it was designed which would be later turned into production as Glock Model 17
Public Persuader not the point and nobody cares how much or little you think you know.
Gen 1 G19? Fuck yeah.
I wish glocks came in those Tupperware containers. I'd use those. Now I'm just sitting on a bunch of glock carry cases
Lol, I scored a Gen 1 for 288 bucks. Probably the best deal I'll get in a long time.
I work at the Cabelas firearms counter. I just sold one of these 2 days ago. I was super excited getting in stock.
How many did you get and are they still available?
@@natedog1619 Unfortunately no. Do keep an eye out though. I heard something like 2 limited runs of 5,000 and that's its.
doubleutubefan5 - Well the reason I’m asking is because I panic bought one on GunBroker and am worried I overpaid for it, and that Glock will pump out 100,000 more and it’ll depreciate the value of mine. No biggie, gotta pay to play I guess
@@natedog1619 I paid 670 for mine in total. Im not worried myself about the value going down, but from everything that i have seen or heard. It doesnt seem like they are going to make too many of them.
@@natedog1619 you'll be fine. enjoy it
I love his grin on the final shot showing the bullet in slow mo - it's like he knew it was the money shot
Everyone had an "Ooooo" face on😂
I was one of the first kid's on my block to get the new "Tactical Tupperware" even had the unlined mags, wish I would have kept it.
I had P80 in Norwegian army. We used 147 smg ammo in them. I got a Hogue slipon grip for it,and it was so much better to use then . We shot much with them, 50 shots minimum ,that was much for standard here, and more likely 200 each week .
@Jbog07 They were worn when we got them ,who knows when issued first,,but as i remember low serial number on them. Suddenly our magazines started fall out , they were a bit worn there ,change of parts back in service. As the logic was,wear the material down instead of much new.
@Jbog07 Maintenancewise ,many of the guys used too much oil on them, just few drops on them held after it was cleaned . But most cleaned them twice a week or more, since we carried live ammo constantly in them .
This channel has the BEST slo-mo footage.
I still love his skill and knowledge of fire arms
Ex Delta Larry is the real deal IMO.😀
Dim Val's Games I forgot that my bad
@@gunnut9074 No worries buddy, Larry is the best IMO.
need one
Yes you do. So I can sit there and fondle mine while watching your video on it lol
Gotta love the Tupperware still have mine
I was hoping for the white stainless barrel like on the early P80s and the austrian army markings but still a cool gun to own.
It also doesn't have the early narrow "pencil" barrel profile. In addition, it has a captured recoil spring, which was not introduced until a few years after the Gen 2 came out. That said, it is still neat that Glock would modify a new frame mold just to make a limited retro series.
Larry thanks for always bringing us these cool videos of old school. I am a collector myself and still have a couple of the old tupperware boxes sitting on the shelf from Gen 1's I still run.
Best glock ever made. Represents what they did best, simplicity and no bullshit! Everything since then has been commercial sales gimmicks and second guessing themselves. This was back when I actually respected glock.
Love mine. Thanks for putting the idea in the mind to make it a reality.
Just got this gun today for a great deal, love it and it shoots amazing
Got One... Thanks to Chris at Lipsey's and Phillip at Bradley Gun Sales in Denmark, WI ';-)
Yes!
Larry, outstanding video - really great 👍! P80 ! Standard Hand-gun at 🇦🇹 Armed Forces - still today !
I have used one back in the days along side my stg 77. great time. 👍
I have always wanted a gen 1 glock 17 ! And here it is.
that's the essence of a glock, simple, effective, straight to the point
It's not sweat, it's tears of joy.
We need a new Larry at the Movies! Great video though, and pistol
It's great to see that you've listened to community feedback in removing the fake sound effects, sounds so much better now. Thanks for doing what you guys do.
We need the G19 gen1 done next. I'll buy two
Just purchased one for EDC carry
Very Retro !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm here for the Tupperware 💁🏼♂️
It better be Rubbermaid or I'm OUT
Sealed fir freshness.
Larry, thank you so much for suggesting this to Lipseys! I ordered one from the second batch. I rented one in the late 80s and loved it. I wish I had bought one at that time. I was stationed next door at Pope when you were a Bragg.
I didn't have to contact them, my local dealer had one! Glad to own now!
I was lucky enough to get one of these and I really like it. Surprisingly I kinda like the smooth pebble grip. I feel like I can get a really high grip every time I draw it from a holster.
I'm still putting rounds through my original gen 1. Have the tupperware box it came in and everything. My next Glock will be in 10mm..but this is a cool offering. Wish I could go anywhere and say LAV sent me! Thanks for everything you do! ✌️
Just picked one up yesterday
I still carry my '92 G19 in my '87 911 Porsche so what's the big deal?😬
on your way to 7-11???
😁👍
Ariana Diego yes and Waffle House too!
Comanche I was just poking fun at your use of numbers my friend...🙂👍
Ariana Diego LOLzoom right over my blonde head!🙄👍🏻
I see your still eating good larry.
Love your vids larry. Don't care for the pistol but thanks for taking the time for the vid.
Larry quickly becoming a firearm thought leader
"here's a Glock, but less" *gun bubbas* _ooooohhh.... Ahhhhh....._
Y'all now have a Glock to use for Desert Brutality - Classic Division
Another pistol I can’t own in California 😭😭😭😭😭
They make a commie state version
@@TheSouthpawSharpshooter Da!!!
@@TheSouthpawSharpshooter THEY DO!?
God I wanna get out of Cali, love it but hate it
One of these P80’s? California has an approved handgun roster and it’s almost impossible to add new guns to the list.
I bought my G22 gen II in 1993 and I came in the Tupperware. Hahahahha 2nd handgun I ever bought.. Still have it.
I love how Larry’s pistol reloads are so simple and smooth, not like the IG operators of today lol (besides Flannel Daddy, he rates)
The oldschool Glock pistols look much nicer than the later ones, when they started adding a bunch of fingersteps and accessory rails.
I am giddy like a kid on Christmas 🎄, it’s the model that still needs to be made permanently.
Love it! Would love to see Larry get with lipseys and Glock and make a 17X MOS, 17 upper with a 19 lower call it the 17 Carry for civilians, come on Larry they will sell like hot cakes it’s what we all been waiting for!!!!!! Like this comment so he has to see it!!!!
that smile at the very last shot 5:19
Wonderful. A pistol just as lousy as the one I fondled at Kaiserslautern R&G club in what, '88? I passed on the Steyr GB too, so don't feel too sad, Tupperware guys. I still have the P7/PSP and P9S in .45 I purchased that year.
BRILLIANT
Did you notice Larry doesn't blink at all when shooting. Just pure focus 🤨
Did they do the Gen1 internals too? I really thought they'd be Gen5s on the inside, because of the pin set up, but it looks like they're using old style guide rods and recoil spring set ups.
I really hope if they offer more retro, railess models, but from the GEN 2, like G19, G17L or even a faux early G18 with extended barrel with compensator cuts, with a faux selector switch that is actually a manual safety instead of making the gun capable of shooting in fullauto.
Picked one up today at my local gun store.
Still have my first Glock 17 Gen 1 (1988) and Glock 19 Gen 2 (1991); stock trigger, extended mag release, trilicon front and rear sights, one barrel and recoil spring since. The 17 fired over a million rounds down range, all factory ammo, and is now sitting in a cabinet. The 19 is not far behind .....
1 million rounds ? Literally 1 million rounds or just ‘alot of Ammo’ ?
@@VickersTacticalLAV The 17 did around 1k rounds/week for about 20 years.. Shooting for me is what yoga is for others; I like to go to the range, clear my head, and shoot some paper targets or steel. Average shooter at best,
The barrel was replaced twice, not once. It's seen better days, still shoots fine, but wear and tear made me retire it.
Just got one if these at my LGS for 589.
Still a beauty
As a glock fan boy I want one
No doubt Larry as a fan of yours and also a proud Glock owner this is incredibly badass!!!!💯💯💯💯💯
Sweet thanks Larry
Glock P80 & Glock 17 Gen 1 originally had a DuPont polymer grade 1 material in the frame. Glock gen 2,3,4 had the DuPont Pymer grade 2 material which is a stronger & better quality. I wonder if this new version of the Glock P80 has the newer upgraded quality DuPont polymer 2.
Awesome
They made 5,000 for initial release, 5,000 more coming in early 2021 I guess. I wonder if they will continue production of them. They would almost have to considering the investment in setting up tooling to make them. Definitely won’t just make 10,000 and quit. Although I wouldn’t mind because that would make them all the more desirable
nice watch !

Picking mine up next week!
LAV is the King!🔥💪🏽💯❤️🙏🏽
Wicked!
Great video on a vintage firearm !
Another great video 👍🏻🇺🇸 thank you LAV
Beautiful weapon. I wish I could get one.
Thanks Larry, great video
CS 1.6 memories
Next they should do a reproduction of the Gen2 Glock 19
I definitely fall in the "retro firearms guy" category.
Mines on order!

Hey buddy, nice Glock
Cool video LAV!
King of slo-mo
This is Good
Good job, thanks
Just got 1 coming but question should i leave it in the wrapped up in its box and leave for a collector's value or shoot it and carry!?
Your choice, I got one, shot 150 rounds through it, put on night sights, sighting those in tomorrow. If I want an investment, I'll go with gold. Glocks are to be shot.
I doubt it would be CA legal but it should Technically be a gen1?
I wonder if he's done a test on the Very 1st Polymer Frame, Striker Fired Pistol.... HK VP70
Does anyone else just auto thumbs up LAV vids?
Does it take Glock ma..... oh wait.... :D nice video :)
The magazine drop isn’t smooth, correct? I recall the first 17 having to manually extract the magazine which is mostly a military design to prevent loosing your magazine on the battlefield. Maybe I am wrong but that’s what I recall.
The new ones have standard Gen 4 drop free mags. The OG Gen 1 Glocks were only not drop free if they were partially loaded. This is because they were not lined with metal so they would swell when loaded. When empty the mags would drop free no problems.
