Can you do a similar video for your patrol rifle?
I second that
Third that
He has a video from awhile back going over his ruger ar556 patrol rifle that his department issues but this was more towards the beginning of the channel awhile ago so idk if that’s what he’s still running.
this please
yup
This is a lot of money, but the guy puts his life on the line and it’s completely worth it. Still cheaper when a Korth revolver or some Gucci 2011s.
Great video, thank you for all the details and for giving me some food for thoughts.
Personal opinion. Other than MAYBE staccatos, I wouldn’t trust a 2011 for concealed carry. Tolerances are way too tight. The smallest debris especially in the higher end ones can choke them up.

Nice video. I wanted an Acro P2 for my Glock 45, but it was unobtainium at the time. I ended up with the MPS, and I love it. Great, clear dot, durable, and a lot bigger window. Cant really go wrong with either IMO!
I’m a lot luckier than you when it comes to Glock stock controls. The mag releases, slide stops, and trigger (except for the G48/43x) all feel pretty good to me and my hands.
The only internal parts I replaced on my G45 were the safety plunger in the slide and the trigger bar assembly. At 500 rounds, the gun started to develop this real annoying “double wall” feeling where it would feel like the trigger broke right before it really did. Diagnosing at home with an empty gun, I took the plunger and extractor off, reassembled, and the second wall feel went away during dry fire. Turns out, it was the trigger bar where it was pinned to the trigger messing up that was causing the issue. I now have a spare safety plunger for this gun.
Both parts were replaced with Glock OEM parts because safeties are not to be messed around with. Gun runs great now.
Problem is with comps it won't fix problems. Most cops struggle to shoot and the state quals are a joke. It's fine if your a higher level shooter and grip, Vision, and trigger control is good. Yes a comp can help. So many people think you can throw money at a shooting problem. Won't work. I like the gun. Sweet!!
Photonic barriers are a thing. Quality low light classes from experienced and knowledgeable instructors are a eye opener as to what works and what doesn't in real life conditions (where you'd end up actually using a WML, or handheld, for that matter).
Yeah they are very real. I am a huge fan of lowlight and teaching lowlight. There is just a ton to it. But once you see the matrix so to speak it's life changing in how you fight in the dark
I agree, bad things happen in the dark. That’s where cockroaches like to hang out. A good light (I like brighter is better types) is imperative.
Great video, appreciate your service!
Literally my same exact dream duty build as a civilian.
He is a civilian too. Civilian means he is subject to civil court, just like everyone else. Only people subject to UCMJ are not civilians. In other words, he can quit his job or not show up for work and nothing will happen. If you are subject to UCMJ you will be arrested...you can't quit your job or not show up for work. Big difference.
ive carried g45 for few years now and its perfect, my fav handgun by far.
I carry a glock 32 in a workz appendix rig with xs dtx2 big dots loaded with critical duty 135g and i love it! When im in the mountains of tennessee where there are bears i run underwood extream penetrator. 357. Sig is expensive but it works well for what use it for.
I agree, the 357 Sig is bad ass. I carry a G32 also. I have a 40 S&W barrel and a 9mm barrel for it. I can practice with the 9mm and run a few mags of full power (Underwood) ammo through it each practice session. Saves money and wear on the gun. It’s my favorite Glock. You can actually do the same thing with a G23. Very versatile guns.
I totally identify with the beginning of this vid. I love being an OR nurse, however, it kinda sucks getting called in. Can't complain, the country needs us. Beautiful build by the way. The whole vid is very informative.
first time watching - couple minutes in “ I LIKE BEING A COP AND I LIKE HELPING PEOPLE “ . I am now a subscriber after that comment . Then i watch video and see some real good info and food for thought on my new Glock purchase . Thank you 🙏
SLR is a great company. I buy all my mag extensions from them. I should try the magwell. Beautiful setup.
i bought a G45 almost a month ago in Battlefield Green and its my favorite gun now and my EDC. Its literally perfect.
oh my I had to Google that.... sexy
@@unclefreedom213 I have a short video of it on my page
Good Video thanks. I definitely get a little carried away with some of the ways I outfit my pistols but that is next level, and completely logical and well reasoned. Appreciate the transparency and efforts be well fine sir. Edit: Oh as non-LEO I carry a p-01 with cajun kit, eps carry optic, using HST 124s, appendix in a Trex sidecar holster or a sig p365 no model as it built it out of separate parts, but icarus frame, spectre comp slide/barrel and 407k optic running HST 147s in a QVO rig (sometimes in a fanny pack not on a belt still in holster when it's hot in the desert). Both were vetted with hundreds of rounds and multiple sessions of hollowpoints, but not your counts more like 500 fmj and 50-75 carry.
A good white light Is a amazing tool
It can take the will to fight out of someone in some cases but don’t think it is a end all be all option
Weather it is hand held or weapon mounted
Thats probably the sickest duty gun ive seen to date.
Thank you man! It was really fun to plan and build, I knew exactly where I wanted it to go and I broke the 9000 round mark today and there isn't a thing I would change
Seems like the Shadow Systems xr920p could've saved you a lot of money, time, and effort... but I do understand the appeal of self builds...
Nobody buys an expensive knock off as a duty gun… some people actually like to do their own upgrades to make it more their own and not the idea of someone else.. shadow system is the weapon of choice for the lazy and “gun clueless”.
Started playing with 80% builds back in lockdown and I settled with SCT lower (not 80%, Strike Ind. liteslide (no plates) holosun ACESS valcon(first red dot),Apex duty trigger, Ballistic Advantage bbl. It fits the Blackhawk T holster. Of course not all upgrades done at once so rounds still counting @1500ish
Video on your personal do all AR AND SBR, I think you just gave a general idea in past.
I shot this pistol yesterday. All I can say is wow! I see the ramjet in my future.
The problem I find with running red dots on pistols is the guys who don't put in the trigger time and think the red dot makes up for it.
I always hear people say this and while I can't speak for others, after zeroing my MPS on my glock 17 I did immediately shoot better and faster
@@georgebarnes9204Some people only say this because they have never shot with a red dot to begin with. Anyone that has knows how much of a better shooter a red dot can make you.
My ultimate trigger combo is the Ghost Duty 5.0 Connector, and Overwatch Polydat trigger. Shorter travel to break, strong wall. Magic. You won't pull through it like a 3.5 connector.
My duty gun is now a 17 (again): Nomad Defense 9F frame, Zev Citadel Slide, Radian afterburner/ramjet, Holosun 507comp, Johnny Glock Vex Trigger, Angry BearArmsBUIS. My backup gun is the same, but a 9x frame. Off duty carry is a CZ Shadow 2 Compact with SRO.
That's great your police department allows you to carry your own firearm and set it up the way you want it. Most departments, including mine, doesn't allow you to do anything to your duty firearm or patrol rifle. I think its stupid. If it helps you shoot better and be more accurate, and its safe, it should be allowed.
Typical power trip happens all the time people actually modifying their weapons have way more training than a regular cop in my opinion
That old school gotta be stock mentality is cancerous to agencies. The old school guys are now retiring or finally seeing the light and the lowering of liability because the guys shoot better.
@@unclefreedom213 thanks for the reply!
My department doesnt let us have modified triggers, but everything else is fair game
The reasons you gave are the reasons you are not allowed. I know it’s hard to take.
Id love to see what sworn agency would allow the leniency for their officers or deputies to carry a "custom" duty weapon...i personally have worked for 3 different agencies sworn...and NONE of them allowed us to have mods on our firearms other than night sights...and a hogue slip on.... (this was in Kentucky) boy how have times changed...ive seen as lenient as an "approved list" but never "custom"..lucky you! Stay safe brother!
Idk man I think anyone carrying a firearm for protection both Leo , civ , mil .. it should be a stock item and not bubbed up .. now a range blaster or a uspsa blaster .. sure so all out .. 2lb trigger with all the bells and whistles you can cram on it ..
The FBI HRT use to issue a custom 45. I use to work for the second largest agency in my state and I carried a custom Novak
Pretty common now what you're describing as is a result of the first reply which is if it ain't stock you can't have it. It's a severly outdated mentality right up there with no lights on handguns or dots on handguns or rifles. There are still some agencies but as these older chiefs either retire or get shown why the mods are important. It's changing. My agency all mods have to be done by the armorer (which is me) ensures subpar and unsafe mods aren't allowed to happen. In this world any and all things that make you better and more accurate are a welcome addition
@@unclefreedom213 well for 99.9 percent out there the best mod you can do to make you more accurate is the nut pulling the trigger .. so no mods will over come a bad shooter
@mesa50w this is 100 percent accurate, that's why I beat on it so hard with the comp. I see it over and over.
shooter build solid fundamentals
shooter buys comp
shooter gets lazy with grip
shooter struggles to gain benefit
shooter blames comp
shooter takes it off
shooter has a million bad habits to fix
I have a similar setup on a G19x and was looking at that comp. Does your 45 fit in a G17 Safariland holster with that ramjet installed? I haven’t bought an owb holster for it yet
Yes it does with zero issue
I often wonder why not go with a full size barrel if we’re just gonna put a full size light that extends out past the muzzle anyway? I have the same thing but wonder why I didn’t go with a 34 instead when I think about it.
Thanks!
First let me start off by saying..... Love the shirt! Those guys are the greatest. I get most of my patches from them..... Vet owned and operated.... forward thinking.... On to the build.... Very niiiice, well thought out. I have yet to shoot a glock with a ramjet on it. I have comped pistols but none of them are Glocks. Thanks for sharing. Just sub'd.
I had really bad luck with my kagwerks slide stop. It wouldn’t lock back on my 19 at all on any of my mags. Swapped back to OEM and had zero issues.
How did u like it besides that? As far as thumb placement when actuating
@@kalanipitmon7817it’s pretty good. I have to have one on my G17 that I compete with because it has a double undercut. I haven’t had any issues with that one so far after around 6K rounds.
@@kalanipitmon7817 I’d say if you have a stock Glock you don’t need it. If you have a stippled Glock with a double undercut you may need it
@@kalanipitmon7817 it actuates fine and I can still clear one second reloads with it if that answers your question
Excellent videos. You’ve gained your knowledge through experience and you’re sharing it with us. I didn’t realize you were an affiliate of psa. It’s unfortunate. I just spent ~$900 with them over the past week.
I went with 10mm varieties b/c large 4 legged threats are equal to or more common than the 2 legged kind where I live . I just wish we could get some of the nicer comps like the ram jet for 10mm which actually needs it.
KKM makes some but they are long and chunky like g19 becomes g34 length
@@unclefreedom213 They look and sound like good quality stuff, but yea, it's kind of defeating the purpose of the compact. Thanks for the suggestion though, I probably will get some of their stuff for the G40.
I own a lot of Glocks. I carried a Gen2 31 for 20 years every day.
I'll never daily carry one again. The grip angle actually causes compression between my little finger and wrist that, not infrequently, causes my hand to lose all sensation for a short period. I can look at the hand and see what it's holding, but I can't feel it. I can tell the index finger to squeeze, and it will, but I can't feel it.
You should look into getting the radian compressor spring and running the 15lb spring which is what everyone recommended for that comp. Radian designed it for that comp specifically just to take the reliability even further. I have the same build but with the compressor spring in my opinion i would rather buy the spring over the comp. To me from my testing the spring made more of a difference then the comp
@unclefreedom213 the only thing you didn’t mention was guide rod and recoil spring weight. Factory or tuned?
No longer LEO so my “duty” is my concealed pistol. Currently, it’s a Glock 49. SRO on a Forward Controls plate. Trijicon suppressor sights. TRL7A light in a Tenicore holster. Everything internal is stock for now but that might change.
We have the same set up and mindset when I wanted to build my ultimate duty pistol. Only difference is I put Glock’s new enhanced performance trigger in it( which is really good and keeps internals OEM. And I’m still debating if I want to get the ramjet afterburner. I had a PMM comp installed on it in the past but wouldn’t feed 115gr reliably, only hotter ammo.
Le here too and building out a 47 with mps for work but with the esd magwell
Great video and nice build. I dropped a like 👍
I got a bunch of Glocks and never had an issue with the mag release and found it interesting that you said it always gets changed out. I don't doubt you but for me it works as intended.
Keep up the great work!
Very good advice on the “ don’t mess with Glock trigger”! It’s most important thing you can do is nothing to the inside of your Glock or you take away what makes the the best! Imo
Do you run a safariland holster? My one hang up on the ramjet for duty use is how it gets stuck on ALS device at slide lock. Goofs up single handed reloads and administrative stuff like “lock slide to rear and holster”
I'd upgrade to a Sig but that's just me🤷♂️
My agency does not allow any personal weapons or modifications for duty. We can't even use mag extensions or G17 mags in our G19 MOS. We don't even have red dots. I only have Talon Grips and an X300 Turbo. Surefire gives 20% off to LEOs.
Man that's awful I would get with your armorer and instructors have them show the decrease in liability and increase in effective hits with a dot. I've had to do this from the smoother trigger allows me to be more accurate and dot decrease our liability to showing the benefits of wmls and why sls holsters suck for le
If you ever have to use it to save your life it will be worth every penny. Great video sir, new subscriber.
I have a very similar pistol set up. I had a few fte's with some cheap monarch 115 last weekend which was disappointing. However I normally shoot blazer 115 and that gave me zero issues.
I'm probably going to put in a polydat trigger and possibly the owp connector as well soon.
I just got an overwatch precision mag well for a 34 gen 5 I've been tinkering with. I'm not a dude who normally goes much beyond sights and maybe a 3.5 - 4 pd connector on a glock.....I have had mixed luck over the years with triggers. Apex= good to go but didn't like the feel.....Agency syndicate= good for a while then failures to reset. Tyrant= bad from the start BUT it was an old gun with a lot of rounds and I didn't give it much love in the "trouble shooting" department. Lol. I usually like a stock trigger with a minus connector and a dot (rmr) or Ameriglo troopers or hackathorns. Anyway, I like the SLR a lot....looks cool to not that it matters. I usually stuck to Zev mag wells, but I REALLY like the O.W.P. If you ever get curious try the over watch mag well brother.......I beat on mine for around 400 rds. out back today, I'm loving it so far. Greetings from KY.
TLR7 is an EDC light not a duty light
When you have to use your edc it becomes a duty light
@@fro-yo-momma7082 depends what you're using it for. For "every day carry" (CCW) it's just fine. You're not using it in an offensive capacity, it is strictly a last line of defense when all other options are either unavailable or exhausted. For that use TLR7 is *good enough*
I’m glad you brought up the light conversation. I’m in love with full lights too🗣️💯
I just want to know EXACTLY what Holster @unclefreedom213 uses.
He says it in this video and the concealed carry video 24:40
Built the same thing with the same parts except I sent the slide to Agency Arms to get there AOS cut.
The only thing i did with my g17 gen5 mos was put the holosun on it and every now and then a light. But i keep it simple. I did want the comp but it's not needed really. I'ma civilian so i really don't need a lot of extras. Great video.
Staccato P $2500 with 5 mags, X300 turbo weapon light $300, Leupold DPP $400.
Tactical pontoon triggers are drop in with the discso..
What wasn’t mentioned is some discos allow the trigger to be pulled and the striker drop before the barrel is fully into battery.
May be more of a gen 3-4 thing?
I haven’t fooled with a gen 5 yet
so your sayin ya spent some money.... yeah its worth it though. nice piece man. I really want the 45 with the radian but I am on a spending freeze right now. the wife is gonna kill me. one day..
First off love the video great break down and information sharing…I personally run a Glock 17 with acro p2 and x300 turbo been looking at changing to a apex or agency trigger and have been also thinking of getting barrle and comp setup
Glock sells 24 rd mags for their double stacked 9mms for like 30 bucks, save some money on extensions. Why not go with the glock performance trigger? Its hard for me to justify 100 dollars on a flared magwell on a gun that already has a flared magwell built in, especially if i need to conceal it.
Did you stick with the OEM recoil spring? I'm running the DPM systems soft captured recoil spring in my G19 with a radian ramjet afterburner, Holosun 508t, SLR magwell and SLR +5 mag extensions, Tru glow night sights, X300A, Glock performance trigger, Vickers extended slide stop and Tyrant cnc backplate.
Yes, I'm still running the OEM recoil spring and haven't had a single issue
How did you mount the acro on the 45? I didn’t see a plate and I was under the impression the mos slide wouldn’t accommodate the acro without plates? Is it the standard slide that you had cut? Thanks for the video man
Did you need to change the spring to use your Radian Ramjet Afterburner compensator?
no still running factory glock recoil guidebook assembly
@@unclefreedom213 Thanks for letting me know. I may get one for my Conceal Carry G43X because the recoil on the Critical Duty +P is just too much for it.
Currently own a 43x mos & want a glock 19/45 to train and get better at shooting but I cannot make up my mind on which one to buy. Any suggestions?
Still building mine out atm. Sig p320 base Apex forward trigger bar kit, and tlr1 so far
I run a nearly identical set up. Just a stock trigger and it’s an mos with an fcd plate. P2 Slr magwel Kagwerks slide stop etc. my slide stop ate the shit out of my slide but it’s smooth now.
Cool build out. For a future build I want a g17 grip from nomad defense with an agency or arc slide probably a RCR or rmr HD on it. A comp of some type for sure.
Probably not getting that for some time I am still finishing out a build on a Walter pdp pro sd and getting a new slide for sig macro. Along with doing some work on a few cz I have so with so many projects things do tend to go slowly.
Nice build! You've got a sub from me! I also agree with the weapon lights concern. Not to cross-promote, but I did a little video of me going through a few white lights at night at different ranges. The photonic barrier is real.
During proofing stages Im sure you are starting with a clean firearm but are you running all 1500 rounds without cleaning?
yep and I'm at 3600 since the last cleaning. I don't over clean firearms which is what most people do. If your defensive gun chokes without cleaning that's not a defensive gun
Play With Guide Rod Spring Weight I’ve Heard
I've never been able to choose the ammo I carry on duty.
Nice rig! I’m kinda surprised SLR Rifle works did that for you. My experience with them is that their customer service was absolute dog shit. Products are decent I guess.
Can you recommend any rechargeble batteries for the tlr 1 hl. Ive looked online and have found conflicting info on wether to run them or not
Meprolight now has a closed dot and its 300$ I hear its solid
So for the last 2 decades cops can't 300 lm trl1 but today we can't use a 500 sub trl7 ..sure
I have the same rig with an SRO and different trigger work. It’s good.
Is this the same g45 with Acro P2 on PA today? I got that discount profile and looking to get this but want to ensure it’s direct mounted. Thanks!
Not everyone needs a mini sun on the bottom of their handgun. The TLR-7 is a perfectly capable light for 95% of users and I've used mine quite a few times. It's 100% qualified as a duty light for more people than not. Just because you're required a full size doesn't mean the smaller ones are just suddenly bad.
I would agree that for off duty carry the TLR7A is a great light on my 19,but on duty,it’s only 500 lumens with low candela and when I’ve needed it on a rural roadside-I found I couldn’t see the suspect and needed my Surefire handheld Stiletto Pro 2.I switched to the X300Turbo the next day.Is the TLR7A good enough for off duty?I say it is-but not for work.
Whats your view on installing the performance glock trigger on a duty gun?
Have you considered holosun PID?
What do you recommend for a quality pistol belt magazine pouch that one can wear for 1 or 2 magazines?
That is a beautiful build man
Do you consider the Agency trigger shoe to be better than the Overwatch and if so why? I did the whole overwatch np3 and trigger shoe kit and have been impressed with it but I’ve never tried any of agencies products.
Try Floyds Custom Shop Magwell you can use backstrap and fit oem base plates
And dont have that bothering screw yn th back and dosnt move any where
And try base plates they are money
No hate here. I normally run a TLR1 HL OR X300 ; but have a tlr7 I’m gettin ready to integrate into another system. Please explain why you say it’s not a duty light.
It lacks candela and output, can't penetrate tint, has a hard time with photonic barriers, etc. Now the new 7hlx changes the game, the 7A is great for concealed carry but a duty light it is not
How many rounds have you got on the kagwerks and has it had any issues?
I freaking love the ow connector i pair it with everything ow shoe agancy shoe and of course my favorite the apex i have longer fingers and the apex just sits a little more proud than others .
Connectors do drop the trigger pull weight by the amount of pounds difference from the part it is replacing. So a factory 5lbs connector giving 6lbs pull will give 4.5lbs pull with a 3.5lbs connector.
sometimes but definitely not on this one or the last several
They don't necessarily drop weight, they change pull which a byproduct may me less weight, but not all and not all glocks.
They absolutely change the trigger pull weight all the time or else they wouldn't reference a weight to them. They are like levers, levers reduce the weight of whatever they act upon.
@@alexskillz45 ok
Wat is a long lasting rechargeable cr123 battery u suggest?
Great Video Square
aluminum mag releases eat your mags. deal breaker for me. soon your mags will start dropping out randomly because the release chews away at your polymer mag.
I was going to make a comment saying no shit.. but I guess common sense isn’t so common anymore😊
@bobbyb608 i did the dumb thing and thought " everyone seems to run em, even LEOs and veterans so it must be fine" i fucked around and found out.
Yeah it can but have yet to see it on mine and some of my mags are 10 plus years old. I can think of 3 in particular my og that came with my gen4 g19 probably close to 7 or 8k rounds on each mag no issues at all. Now steel or sharp beveled mag releases yep it'll chew the shit out of em
@@unclefreedom213 thats good to know. ive been using the hyve ones they do have sharper edges now that you mention it. things ate up my mags after not too much use.. it sucks because i hate the stock mag release.
btw the SLR magwell is awesome. makes the G19 much more usable and stable in hand. Expensive but worth it.
@@seaocean4868 SLR is by far the best magwell I've used and will be my main one going forward. Yeah I have a Hyve on one and it would get stuck on mags so i ditched it. Thats the issue I have with shield mags is having to use the steel mag release which is a no go for my factory mags. i use the PSA micro 15 round mags now and no issues so far one of the mags has 5000 rounds through it
What safariland holster works for this set up?
I always thought cops had to run a full size handgun
It is a full size. Basically a G17 just shorter slide of which does t matter when running RDS.
@@chaoticcaninejb I mean like 17 size
I spent $2900 on my P320 and to me its well worth it
I've been looking at some 320 builds I have 2 and kinda want to Gucci one. Can you email me pics?
I heard glock is done making the 17's and will now replace with the 47
highly doubtful
It’s the 17 MOS that got replaced, the 17 irons only is still being produced. I got one of the last 17 MOS’s and run it with a Holosun SCS and Night Fision Costa Ludas irons. I do like what you said about using blacked out sights to not have a second focal object.
My “competition gun” is a CZ P-10F cut for my 509T and I don’t have any irons on it.
I really wish I could shoot my Glocks better, I am low left with them (righty) since there are so many out there. I shoot my P-10’s, S&W 1.0 9L 2.0 5” (Apex SRT on both), Archon Type B (Gen1), STI 1911 all better than my Gen3G19 & Gen4G34.
I did the same thing. Lol. The modern Rolland special
What constitutes a good LEO?
Can we see you do some drills?
I see you’re a traveling man.
I am so taken
Nice breakdown.
What holster do you use with the afterburner 45 combo?
I think he said “Tenicor”. Not sure what model though. I have a few of them and like Tenicor better than my T-Rex sidecar or any others.
Your sister called !!!! Return her glasses asap!!
Great video
I'd say a Taurus Gx4 carry or Canik Tp9 SF Elite is a better buy with better triggers and reliability, just $300, use the rest of the money for ammo and gear, paying a fortune just for Glocks name is crazy lol
Serious? I have owned Glocks since the early 90's, but not a fanboy, my go-to has been M&P's for several years. But, you put the Taurus and Canik at the same reliability standards as Glock? $600 isn't paying for Glock name, it's paying for reliability, it just works. People paying $2500+ for a pistol are partially paying for a name.

Great video!
