I just bought a new Glock 17 gen 5 so far I really like it!
Thanks for the video. For the record: I actually enjoy your full normal videos where you talk and then shoot. But hey, whatever works for your production schedule.
Keep up the awesome reviews and thanks for your informed opinion.
Thanks, I appreciate that! I knew this one would run way long (even for me) because there were so many details to cover, so that's why I split it.
nDLC is Glocks using Nitride-with a Diamond Like Coating (aka DLC). Tenifer is simply the Trade mark name for a proprietary blend of the Nitride process. Melonite is another proprietary Nitride process too. Hope this helps some of you out in knowing what nDLC coating is. Also, should be noted that Tenifer, Melonite, Nitride goes on Clear and is a metal treatment and NOT a Coating or Plating. Nitride will adhere with the molecules of the metal at the substrate (outer most layer of metal) which allows a very hard case hardening, as well as lubricity. So if you have something that's Nitride and see color wear. The Nitride is still working. Usually manufactures will Nitride metal then Black Oxide over. Other companies will use DLC (Glock) on the FN FNS model, they use Nitride and then a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)....PVD is very durable and similar to DLC.
Best video ive seen on the g17 gen5 no bs shoot shoot and shoot some more love it , no failures different types and grains of ammo and mags , truly enjoyed video not boring at all, keepem coming brother.
Looks plenty reliable. Man, that new steel sure does ring!
I recently bought the Gen 5 G17 FS. I really like the way they rounded the nose, the flared mag well, the finish, the front serrations, and the trigger. I do still like my Sig 229 better because I shoot it more accurately.
Thanks bro. Just purchased one and haven’t shot a Glock since my military days, a Gen 1. Looking forward to it. Both videos were fantastic.
Thank you for the informative video but yet honest opinion 🤗😀
Great as always!
Another great review, thanks for the honest opinion
An excellent review brother! Even though the feedback on the Gen 5 has been less than stellar (from me too), it does shoot! Cheers
NO BRASS IN DA FACE, No Finger Grooves and a couple of other reasons I bought my first G17 Gen 5 and I am of Social Security age. Always a Sig and S&W shooter. Retired 30 year LEO.
I think any Glock hater is going to need to polish their hates skills to be able to hate that gun without appearing insane. Great video and I especially waited for the Justin opinion on this one as my trusted source for observational objectivity and conclusion as always. Thanks.
Love watching Justin Opinion shoot the fun sticks at that new steel target & offering a discount code for us! 🔥
Great video, absolute display of Gun, no unnecessary talking
Which is surprising, because sometimes I can really go on and on.... and on. :)
As ALWAYS...Great content Justin....Thanks Brother
Awesome Review!!! Appreciate how detailed it was.
Thank you for not being a sales man like almost every gun channel
Great video as always, thank's!
Digging the bullet bill patch on your sleeve. Top notch video
Excellent review, thanks for doing it. I'll be picking one up now that Glock has addressed my previous issues with the platform.
Thanks!
Glad I picked up one. Great gun, my first Glock, and the first true lefty Glock.
Good video thanks
Great review love the Target, Thanks
Love the style you eject the empty mag☺️
When the glock 22 gen5 comes out in all gray I'm buying it. Shipping them with real night sights and no finger grooves takes care of my few glock concerns. Pretty minor but not sure how I would like the mag strip opening on front strap. My HK vp40 has slight openings on the side of the grip/frame, which are out of the way but still useful. Great video as always.
My first gun was Glock 17, my wife bought his and hers Glocks from Turners during Glocktoberfest, still one of may favorites. Installed some TrueGlo sights and man what a difference. Being from CA they are the Gen3 G17s.
The new finish on the slide is outstanding on the Gen 5’s
Thanks, Good Videos
just bought my first handgun today (g17 5th gen) appreciate the info! subbed .
Show!!!💥
I agree with you about Tactical AR500 Targets, and I own two of them.
Good video!
"Don't judge me!" LOL
Thanks for a detailed review in Parts 1 and 2. Don’t have many comments except two.
1. The steel target support “ring” is irritating in combo with the paper target. Perhaps they need to tune it better :)
2. The Blue bullets appeared to have a negative impact (sic). Certainly not something I’d like to try. That’s just me.
Pete.
Great video👍🏻
Glad you and Smurfette had a good time
I have a Gen 2 & 3 (love the finger grooves) that I used for IDPA. You add Trijicon's, extended slide release, extended mag release a butt plug and a little bling end plate. You can't find a more reliable Combat Grade Polymer Weapon. Nice Gen 5, but I don't need or like ambi anything, the new marksmen barrel seems ok. Nice review, both tabletop and range.
Nice shooting Justin! Looks like another solid performer from Glock.
Nice upgrades. But most of it is stuff I don't need. Somehow I've gotten by with my Gen 3 and 4 Glocks for years now.
I can't get over the no finger serrations, I love that most about my Glock 17's. I daily carry two.
You mean the finger grooves? I'm glad their gone, they never fit my fingers.
It's 2021 you can no longer shoot that much in a video because it costs too much.
Excellent and informative video brother! I've got the Gen 5 17 on layaway right now at my local FFL dealer.
Nice review. Glock is awesome. 450 rounds without malfunction is enough to say that boy is good one!
Good range review
The Blue Bullets, or any polymer coated bullet reminds me of the NYCLAD bullets by S&W and Federal. Shot lots of 38spec +P LSWCHP NYCLAD
Damn, I was for sure hoping for a G21 gen 5.
I believe the rifling in the new barrel can also shoot lead bullets which is a big plus and it dosent get mentioned.
Now, if they come around to offering the 27 in G5 ... I might go shopping!
That's gonna be my first gun. Great video. Gonna go for my permit, just because of this vid. Great shooting, great video, great guy. Thank you, and God bless. 🤠
That polymer guide rod to steel is the first upgrade every Glock user needs…… well at least if u fire it regularly.
Would you choose the G17 or G45? I am stuck deciding...
Damn you Tactical ar steel targets for changing up the formula of this channel.
@3:44 - Been waiting for this for 5 generations of Glock pistols (my fellow lefties will understand). The little things/changes count.
Trying to decide between a 17G5 and 34G5...which do you prefer?
Very nice
Have a 17M love it👍🏻
Justin. I held and shot a 19 Gen 5. It shoots great. Downside is... I really wasn't impressed i guess because it didn't feel right in my hand. I'm spoiled with my finger groves. All and all i might revisit the Gen 5 in the future. Maybe if and when they come out with a full line of firearms. For now tho i believe i will stick with my Gen 4's and call it good. Great Review Thank You
Call me an old codger but I bought a Gen 5 19 and I still like my Gen 3 better , I don’t care for the new trigger break , nor do I like the slippery finish on the slide , the only feature I do like is the finger grooves being deleted. All that being said it is still a great combat hand gun and will probably serve you just as well as the others
Looks like it shot fine, real fine.
Nice video, very informative. Gotta say I was pretty distracted though. 90% of the time he was shooting I was just watching his hair bounce from the recoil. 😂
It's also a shampoo commercial.
The trigger guard had been under cut a bit which is great.
great gun!
Here is something I am wondering about. I just bought a gen 5 G17, mine has front slide serrations/cuts and also the little half moon cut at the bottom front of the hand grip has been eliminated.
I'm going to make a Glock dealer happy one of these days
It shoots like a glock, which is a good thing. I only have one criticism of glock and it really is nit picking, but every since the introduction of the gen 4 glocks the ejection has not been what it was in the early 2000's and 1990's. They have fixed the brass to the face for the most part but the casings just don't fly out like they do on the cz's, sigs, and walthers. My early gen 3 glocks spits brass out at least 10 feet away. Nit picking-yes, real issue-no. It just kind of bugs me when shell casings hit me on the arm or on top of my head. On my list for next year are the gen5 19 fs and 34. Wishful thinking that they will make the 34 and 19 w/ front serrations in gen 5 configuration
PROTECTIVE RAILROAD DAD it bugs me too. Which is why I like glocks but love hks.
I had two out of about 150 come close to my face, but did not hit it. The other 148 went to 4-5 o'clock
Put in a slightly weaker recoil spring and the brass (ejection) will be thrown farther. That being said, the gun will get beaten up more and smaller parts will subsequently fail sooner. There's always a trade off. As for the ejection pattern on the new 5th gen Glock's. It appears good enough.
Funny enough, I just picked up a CZ 75 Compact (I'm way more of an indoor range guy) and brass hits me all day. Must be bouncing off the side panels at an indoor range. I get hit in the head, face, wherever. My 3rd gen Glock 23? Nope. Granted one is significantly broken in more.
Hey, great video! How far was it?
How do you keep the rounds from ricocheting when shooting steel?.I've seen others shoot them from within feet and could hear what sounding like bullets whizzing by...
Steel must be shot from a minimum of 10 yards with a handgun. And the target ideally should be at an angle that sends the lead spatter straight down. Even then, some fragments coming back to the shooter are possible - which is why good eye protection is crucial. Anyone shooting steel closer is risking serious injury.
Can you do a shooting comparison between the Glock 17 Gen 5, the Sig p320 X-Carry and the Sar 9 ?
My first choice in a handgun, bro!
Just curious but could you go into more detail about the internals not handling as much pressure as previous gens? Great review by the way.
jc6621 id like to know the same thing. hopefully he will answer you soon.
The gen 5 glocks internals are set up like the Glock 43
jc6621 I'm curious too. I think that's a pretty ridiculous thing to say, especially without elaborating.
My Glock 17 gen 5 is a Great Shooter..
Notice the consistent ejection of the spent brass, looks like Glock fixed the much maligned BTF issue.
I also noticed the improvement.
Sweet steel target....... I like it alot ! But the glock is sweeter ! Keep up your great reviews.
Just bought the same G17 Gen5 MOS
Another satisfied customer.
Badass,17,1
Glad I ran into this video....just got a new one and im thrilled! btw the smurf comment, Gold! LMAO
does the rear sight still cut the front dot in half?
What did u see in the Gen 5 that won't to able to handle 40cal & other higher calibers?
I wouldn't recommend the Sig v crown for defensive ammo, it has a track record for not expanding through the IWBA protocols. I don't understand why either because the projectiles are supposed to be manufactured by Sierra which is a reputable company.
I've seen those "results" and ignore them because what I've seen myself is much different. I don't do ballistics tests, but I also don't put blind faith in some of the ones done. Still, if it drives them to further improve the round - all the better! But I find it to be the most consistent and accurate round of those I've tried.
You're the man, Justin Opinion 👌
LOL, yes. Yes I am. ;-)
"GLOXX"☆ROXX N' ROLL..And I like those BLUE Rounds.(it's different).🤙💥🤙
I'm adding a Gen5 17 to my collection .I have the Gen 5 19 already.
Gen 2 hated. 3 was ok. 4 looks great. I love my gen 5 finish. Glock just goes bang.
The Glock 17 Is The Kittie On Home Defense 💯👌💪💯
I was under the impression the Gen5 had a traditionally rifled (land and groove) barrel? Polygonal and Hexagonal mean the same thing (a hexagon is simply a 6 sided polygon). Glock website has the Gen4 listed as "hexagonal", and Gen5 listed as "hexagonal (gmb)". Is this some sort of hybrid polygonal/land and groove rifling I wonder? Or am I just missing something here?
Thanks for the video!
The most knowledgeable people think the barrel is the "marking barrel" also known as the "Miami barrel". Essentially, it has extra features, similar to lands and grooves on each flat side of the polygon. This allows for easy forensic matching of bullets to the gun. This is important for law enforcement agencies that wants to account for bullets fired. However, it appears that these features are formed in the barrel bore when it is hammered into the polygonal shape, and not cut like traditional lands and grooves. The barrel has been used by several LE agencies and is used on the G42 and G43. The barrel crown is new.
@John Morrison - Thank you for the insight!
Is it better than gen2; I am thinking 🤔 to upgrade ...
Great vid but wonder why you did not load the mags to max and only shot 15 rounds.
Hay..i bought glock 17..
When i start shooting its had malfunction from first shoot,,then i clean and lubricate it
But still had malfunction.
What do u think the reason??
I noticed you did not fire any reloaded lead bullets why ?
Oh snap ! Justin finger blasted a smurf !
Is that the way that you should release your magazines?
I laugh at all the whinny Glock haters, great video as usual Justin Opinion. On a side note I think you still can't shoot lead bullets through the new Glock barrel.
"If you love Glocks you're gonna love this one, if you hate Glocks you're gonna hate this even more"...of course, it's always the same pistol. Glocks are not crap, but none of the well known pistols on the market is. But Glock is cheap, both in terms of money and in terms of everything else. Those plastic sights are real crap.I used to have one, Gen.4,it was just fine, an ok pistol. Didn't like the grip, but that's just me. Thanks for the review Justin. One of my fav channels.
Thanks very much!
Except for Hi points they are crap
Garrett - wait!... Remington hehe... Remington R51...that was crap... Remington R51 was so crap it made the hi-point look good. Lol
Joe theLion they are steel sights now.
chris settles At last! Thank God for that!😃
Why does Glock use a 6 oclock hold rather than a POA/POI?
Is it traditional Land and Grove rifling ?
This AR550 has a different ring to it. Very Audible.
Just now bought the Glock 17 Gen 5 today (2/18/2020) really love it! i'm an Armored Car Guard so i really needed a very reliable awesome Glock and this it! thanks for the great shooting video for this gun Justin Opinion!
Got a question for the community if you have not have a concealed weapons permit but it's in your bag in your car can you still get in trouble if you say you're going to the range? In the state of Georgia knowing it's a constitutional open carry state
You won't get in trouble if you're legal to carry with a permit. If you can pass the background check (the criteria of the BATFE 4473), you can carry in Georgia without a permit. Of course Constitutional Carry doesn't allow you to break the law so the activity of going to the range is perfectly legal.
hey justin, you seem alot skinnier in your recent vids. Not saying its a bad thing. But just checking to see if you're ok. Thank you for the video.
Aw, thanks. I have lost some weight - on purpose. But I miss cake. A lot. I want some cake.
