People who don’t shoot don’t realize how much of an incredible shooter he is. Expert level . Champion shooter.

Handles the 10mm like nothing
dude is the recoil master.
You are very right
Guy is rapid firing multi guns at 25-40 yards are small plates . Unreal
"Glock 19 mags work in it!" Who woulda thunk... Jokes aside, I'm still so impressed with Hickok's skills with a pistol. That man's so good he's scary. Thank you for years of entertainment and education, sir!
he's a guy that everyone wud wanna be with when a zombie apocalypse happens

that wasn't a joke, they really DO take 19 mags...
The Glock 19 was the first gun I ever purchased about 4 years ago. I now have 12 guns bc of how addicting this hobby is haha it’s still my favorite gun BY FAR though. It’s reliable, easy to maintain, simple to learn, and fairly accurate for 99.9% of shooters looking for a great first gun. Seriously one of the best guns on the market

This dude is an absolutely amazing shot. WOW lol. I don't think the average person realizes how difficult it is to hit all the targets as well as he just did. That's literally a lifetime of experience right there. AMAZING.
This man is a national treasure. We must protect him at all costs.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏‼️
With his accuracy, I don’t think he needs much protection.
this guy strapped up I think he good lmaoo
He inspired a school shooter
These comments are so idiotic.
Anyone who has ever fired a pistol--trying to keep it in the 10 ring at 7 yards--knows that what this man does on his home range? Rapid shooting? Hitting targets one after another? Long range, medium range, short range? 6 Different pistols? Is nothing short of AH-MAZING!
Good fundamentals make a good shooter.
@@JD-tn5lz true but Skill is still there and still amazing lol
Not difficult. Just get more training and practice.
@@Apercep Yeah, uh, huh. Sure. And I bet if you got trained and practiced you could play in the NBA, right?
@@lawrenceallen8096 want to know how I know you don’t do any of those things…?
Ive been stressed out a bit lately. I love watching hickok45 to relax. Especially when he reviews something I cant afford yet or may never get like his m16 video. Im a glock fan so happy I found this one. Hell I could listen to him talk about grass growing.
Don't worry, I'll never own a gun in my life (very hard to do here), but I still love his style and knowledge
Every Hickok video I watch I’m always astounded at his shooting, and his vast knowledge. I’m highly skeptical with people giving me advice on ANYTHING but his word to me is gold… god bless you sir and your family!
I love this guy! My dad use to watch him. Unfortunately my dad passed away.. Hickok 45!!! For life
Sorry about you losing your Dad. It sounds like he was a man you revered and that is a blessing.
@Jesse James Yes my dad was a huge fan of guns! He taught me alot about them and the safety of them as well. Hickok45 was his go to channel, I continue to watch it and carry on the legacy. I miss you Dad!
Holy shit, I just realised he named himself 45 after the .45 ACP!
I am not a smart man...
Sorry pal. He’s watching over you watching these videos with you! Much love
@Dallas Dmoney Scott Thank you brother,yes he is.i continue to go out shooting in honor of my Dad.the icon picture is my Dad.if you click on his channel you will see a glimpse of my pops. Much love and respect for the kind words
As a 60 yr old woman, my first gun purchase was a gen3 G19. Love this gun! I’ve had it modded perfectly for me with my aging arthritic hands. My second gun was a G42. Have modded this one as well to totally personalize it. Now at 66 I own 9 guns but my 19 is by far my favorite!
Nice username
You are now way, way past your Cougar years.
Ima g19 owner too most definitely a keeper
Kasquaskannaché Hukapapánski relevance of this comment?
Your name says it all
My last Glock I would give up is my Glock 26 3rd gen. Excellent shooter and conceal ability for me. Love the fact I can slap in any double stack glock mag and it takes it. Never failed me once.
"Hmm... Yeah I guess this is my fave. I got another in my pocket!!" I love the combo of banter, wisdom, and sheer skill. Much respect hickok and family.
i laughed at 14:51 when he was talking about the types of mags that the g19 takes, he said "you can even put a glock19 mag in it" lol. l love his deadpan humor.

I'd never get rid on my G23. It's an awsome gun, and being able to shoot 4 calibers (.40, 9mm, 357sig, and 22lr) through the SAME gun with barrel changes is amazingly useful.
Yup, multi caliber guns are the best SHTF guns.
Wow man thank you I have one but I didn’t know you can get all them different ones for it
Do not own a Glock. Very versatile tool! How much are the extra barrels. As mentioned above...great SHTF tool
cool I didnt know that about G23 - that is so cool!
Same! I'm ordering the 9mm threaded conversion barrel for mine soon.
Love this guy he's a gentleman and a true marksman. Love how he uses iron sights forsure
Hickok is just awesome with his delivery he shows us the gun talks about it then shoots it and gives us a summary of why it's good or bad. Ive shot many different guns but if I'm unsure about one chances are Hickok has reviewed it and ive bought a few guns now because of his knowledge👍👍
Appreciate this man’s shooting. It’s so rapid whilst being so accurate. So satisfying 🔥
Dude doesn't just own guns, he shoots them and it shows. Ting ting ting ting ting
@@beardeddude9168 I know gun collectors that own and shoot guns regularly, still can’t compare to this guys shooting. U really don’t gotta be an ass about it. I’m just appreciating this guys skill.

I would be his favorite grandson and get access to all the shooting fun.
havent shot the 19 but i love my 43x, took it to the range with 2 buddies and out the 6 new pistols we shot, pretty much everyone shot better with the 43x, and how light it is compared to most of the other 9mm hand guns is astonishing
In awe of this guys accurate shooting ! He’s nailing short , mid and long range targets with ease ! Wow
I've had my glock 19 for almost 14 years now and I've never had a reason to consider buying anything else outside of the "fun factor." It's truly a universal pistol.
Good gun but the 43x is better!
That's too bad. Very bad taste
@@therealwewin what do you recommend?
@@ihutaylor9438 you should try m9 beretta
@@drasticthompson1995, I'm gonna have to agree. The 43 and 48 are the improved 19. I think the 19 is Hickok's pick because he has massive hands

Hickok: Yes
All
You're the reason my first pistol was a 19 gen 4! Love to see it man Happy Holidays!
Thank you for sharing your years of experience and knowledge so we can all be more informed
My daughter couldn't resist to tell me yesterday, she bought me a new Glock 19 5th gen for Christmas. 😎
Awesome to see this video pop up today.
👍👏
You raised her well.
What a daughter! I bought my daughter a Glock 19. I'm not sure what's better, giving or receiving 😁
@@External2737
Thanks!
She knows what Dad has been wanting.
Goes along with my P365 and Shield EZ.
if I had only one pistol that would be it.
Amazing gun ! You will love it
Alot of guns work. Glocks, for me, have literally worked every time. Tens of thousands of rounds downrange and i yet to have a failure in any stock glock ive owned. Always will be my go to
Same here. It's ugly and the trigger feels like kitty litter but mine has never failed to perform, not even once. I've been carrying for over a decade and I don't clean it like I should but it never fails to go bang.
I never have gotten how people can be accurate like this guy with any handgun. It feels like using a hammer without the handle because that’s sort of what it is.
I’m impressed and certainly appreciate the skill it takes to aim what’s basically a fraction of a rifle and hit an intended target. It puts in perspective 10,000 rounds down range might be what it takes to get familiar. I’m just rambling anyhow. Just saw that number and it put in perspective what I’m seeing on the video is humanly possible. Lolz
@@audimaster5000 it takes alot of practice. ALOT! Ive competed in bulleye leagues and it takes 1000s of rounds down range to even remotely compete. Hickock would tell you how many countless rounds hes sent trying to hone his craft.
My gramps used to say "There are 2 kinds of firearms, those which work & those which don't"
Glock gang load up
Love these videos🙏🏽 the attention to detail and work put in shows
I’ve been watching this man for yeeears! Accuracy always been phenomenal 😳🔥 depending on the day I carry Glock 19 and 43x but I’ve been carrying the Ruger 57 a lot more.
It would be interesting to see a video on the last gun chambered in 22lr that you'd sell. Cheers.

@@Watchdog_McCoy_5.7x28 same here. I replaced mine with an after market one. Much better now. Cheers!
That was a seriously impressive show of marksmanship.
I 100% agree. The 19 seems to be the one I couldn't replace with another gun.
The sound of the metal targets sound like a doorbell. LOVE IT. I have a Glock 19 as well, had it for 20 yrs now. Great firearm.
My Glock 19 is on my list of "never give it up" pistols too. If I could only keep one pistol from my entire collection, it would be my Glock 19. It's not my favorite in my collection, but if I could only have one pistol and one only for the rest of my life, it would be that one.
Same 👍🏻
same.... gen 4 new spring. = perfection
i don’t even have one, and I know that would be a great choice. i love my S&W 5906 that i’ve had for 30 years. But the thought of carrying it every day makes me appreciate the Glock 19.
I’d put my G19 on my list of bet your life pistols along with my M&P Compact 2.0, my Beretta 92, my Steyr M9A1 and my XD’s. You could bet your life on them all.
Me too! Glock 19 is the perfect size.
Always like the approach and content of the vids and the tutelage contained therein. ^5's hickok! Well done.
Absolutely love the layout of the range in the compound as well, and is something of what I'm searching for in my move out of Communist NJ for my retirement years.
I have a glock 19 gen 5 and absolutely love it. It is by far my favorite handgun. I also have a glock 30s which is very nice too. The 19 fits my hand like a glove. However, Hickock has to have much much bigger hands than mine so I am surprised he likes it and is able to shoot it.
I’ve carried a few different Glocks. Right now I love running and carrying the Glock 30 SF. It conceals well and is chambered in 45 ACP.
My dad loves the 30, I personally love the 29, the 10MM baby, can’t wait to get a 9x25 Dillon barrel for it, AND I could get multiple other caliber conversions if I wanted. Love it’s versatility. For a .45 I got the Springfield xd mod 2 subcompact, idk what it is about it but I can control that gun much easier for the .45.
g-19 as well for me.
That's my favorite, too
I also love the Glock30sf! It conceals well and if I’m in bear country (which I am, deer hunting in NY), the.30s in .45+p will handle a big black bear. And, fits same holsters as my Glock 19!
Got one also, love it, but my 1911 is so much easier to shoot accurately
I would love to see all of his guns all out on a display table. I dont think he would ever show us them all or give us a number of how many he owns but i bet it would be a shockingly good amount!
Good description Shockingly Good Amount 😆
I don't think there is a table long enough.
He has every gun
I'm sure he has plenty more than most of us combined in the comments put together. But I'm pretty sure a lot of the guns he films are loaners
@@trashpandaproductions864 any loaner guns he is usually up front about and thanks the shops that loan them to him. I know i have too many guns myself but i agree with you, i bet it doesnt touch his collection.
These days, the last Glock I'd ever sell is my 3D printer.
Can I be featured on your channel? I will fly out on all of my weekends just to learn how to shoot that well. You are amazing.
Your proficiency between guns is amazing
Thanks for a fun comparison video. My Glock 17 was my first handgun, chosen mostly because of its size as I have XXL hands. I’ve acquired many guns since then, but if I could have only one handgun, it would be the 17.
agreed, my first and sofar only firearm is a G17, i have small hands so i grabbed a hacksaw and cut the grip down to fit a G19 mag, now it conceals alot better , I will probably have this G17 till i leave this world.
You can’t go wrong with the Glock 17.. I also have the 17 Gen 4 and I will keep it till the day I die.. NEVER, EVER will I get rid of it, so kudos to those of you who have a 17.. FANTASTIC PISTOL!!!
@@juliekavanaugh4993 well cz is the in thing here on our side of the big blue sea, a buddy of mine got a PO7 before i got my glock, the has about 5k more rounds through his handgun than me, last time we went shooting we decided to "swing" a bit and swapped firearms, the cz felt alot better in my hand than my glock but when it came to shooting on the other hand my grouping was alot worse despite the much better trigger.
He on the other hand got a much better grouping with my G17 than with his cz.
Now none of us shoot good, so take that info as you may.
I initially got into glock for the reliability and simplicity and i think i will decide to be a glock fan boy as of yesterday 😉
That is exactly why I chose the 17 I have large hands and it fits perfect
I don't have giant hands but the 17 fits me perfectly. I have several pistols, mostly glocks and a 12 gauge for home defense but the 17 would be the last gun I got rid of but in all fairness I've never shot the 19 which seems to be the most popular one for many.
N.Y.P.D. ; ret. Started with the S&W MP .38. Transitioned to the 17. When I retired the 19 Gen 5 MOS, became my carry. I twerked it a bit with a Apex Tactical trigger and Trijicon night sights. But living in Florida now, I carry the 29. Perfect for 2 and 4 legged threats. In the Navy I was issued the M9, and transitioned to the Sig 226, never had a problem with either. They were just a bit "heavy". The 29 answers my particular needs for power and concealed carry. As far as getting on and staying on target, the 19 is the best call. 10 mm ammo can be a pain to find at times, but I think it is making a resurgence. I just prefer a sub-compact. PS-make no mistake, contracts go to the lowest bidder. All of the above are reliable and will preform well in the right hands. Happy Holiday's and God Bless.
Man I am glad that you sir are healthy and doing great!
I'm happy to hear it! I just bought this as my first ever firearm, can't wait to pick it up after commifornia's 10 day waiting period
Back in the day I was required to carry a Revolver for my duty weapon. My secondary weapon at the time was the S&W 669. I did keep it strong side. Now that I started for years back with my CCW. I started back with a Glock 19. It had the same feeling as my 669 very comfortable. I was one once a Glock hater. As the old credit card commercial said “Don’t Leave Home Without It” and I don’t… great review
Handguns are like just the hammer head of a hammer with no handle. They’re a fraction of a rifle and insanely hard to develop accuracy. If ones going to be successful in driving in a nail, it sure takes some serious skill and/or can be very particular for what works vs what is practically a useless broken tool. I appreciate and respect those who have developed such a skill. For me I don’t even pretend to think carrying is a smart idea. I know there’s people who absolutely have been misled by firearm marketing to think they’re safer by carrying but in reality…ya know what I’m sayin.
I’m just rambling but saw that ‘don’t leave home without it’ and thought that’s not necessarily true for everyone like yourself who has put in the work to develop the most important side of handguns- the skill to drive a nail with just the head of a hammer- so to speak. Word
@@audimaster5000 Reasonable "gun battle accuracy" can be easily taught if you have the right teacher. I've taught hundreds of people, many of whom had never shot a pistol. I'd also prefer that anyone who has practiced significantly with a firearm to be carrying it at all times regardless of laws. I'm not interested in firearm or other marketing. (And I've never been sold a product by an ad, or a phone call, or a door-to door salesman. I approach everything in life as a problem to be solved, and then I either research until I find a solution or I make my own solution) I do probably have a bias based on shooting an average of 10,000 rounds per year if you combine rifle, pistol, and shotgun rounds, as well as having grown up in a situation where we hunted or fished for or raised and killed our food, and also having had many shots fired at me while serving in the Army.
@@audimaster5000I see what your saying but the reason you carry a pistol over a long arm is practicality. Sure your underpowered and overmatched compared to a rifle but your still lethal. That's a hell of a lot better than being unarmed and helpless and the reason you carry a firearm to begin with is for just in case you need it. If you have it with you all the time your whole life and never end up needing it than what harm have ya caused? Now ask yourself what happens if that one time in your entire life you actually need one and don't have it. Remember. You only gotta buy it once. You don't have to feed or water it, it's easy to hide and doesnt take up much space. I feel that no harder than it is to keep it with you a person should carry. Lots of people that are still alive today because them or someone around them were carrying.
@@audimaster5000it's up to the individual to get properly trained to use a firearm and to practice with it to become proficient in using it so their not endangering any lives. Kinda like driving a car ya know which is 100 times more dangerous than carrying a gun yet I don't hear any calls for folks to stop driving cars. Lots of folks out there have been misled by the anti gun speech spewed by mainstream media. Just sayin.✌️
43X is my daily carry and my favorite. I have a 43, 17 and a 19 and I like them all.
Nice. I do carry a P365xl, but love my 19 and 17.
@Paul R would have to say 43X for ease of carry. Very tough call though. Couldn't blame a person for keeping G19 or any other, really.
I ❤️my 23 and 27. I take one of them wherever I go.
My ruger P94 is one of my favorite forgotten pistols I’ve had for 15 years. Extremely reliable and great shooter
Noone cares
My 4 favorites personally are the glock 33,19,29, and 30 all my other firearms H&k, sig, m&p, & Springfield armory sit in my safe as back ups. I didn't start as a glock guy but after accumulating 30 plus firearms I found that I liked shooting the glocks more so it's what I use for everyday carry now. Love your vids!
It’s hard to kick any Glock out of bed. I’ve had exactly one malfunction with a Glock in twelve years: the first shot I ever fired from my 19 Gen 3. And I’m pretty sure that was because I was so timid with it.
I guess I understand why people think they’re ugly but every time I pick up a new one, I turn it over in my hand again and again thinking how gorgeous its minimalist design is.
i wanna know what generation glocks he has laid out on the table as he doesnt say?!?! i heard problems with gen4 glocks
I bought a g23 gen 5 a week ago and I can’t stop staring and holding it and it’s not even my only gun
I totally agree on the minimalist design. Love it.
Hell yes man. I've also noticed that the only way they jam is a limp wrist. The first gun I ever shot was my dad's dept issued g27 at the age of 7. After owning 100+ guns through the years, I've come full circle and am a true believer.
@@chefboyarb great choice brother I love the 23 more than any Glock thats just my preference. Smooth shooter, great capacity, reliability, and in .40 can't beat it, not too hard to conceal as well.
Great choice. I have a hard time between the 17, 26 and 19 but my EDC is always the 19 and the 26 is my wife's EDC. Not to down other brands or models. It just work for me.
Shot for the first time last week and was a glock 17, did pretty good but It’s not easy, and this is near impossible! I can’t even believe how smooth and accurate he is, master level skill, and a strong arm!
Keep doing this your aim is incredible man and love watching your vids
G26. With a G19 mag and x-grip extension, it's nearly identical to the G19. Except you also have the option to use a G26 mag for concealability. The only disadvantage compared to a G19 is a slightly shorter sight radius.
most people shoot better with the g26 anyways. Me included. I love the G26 for its sheer versatility that is still unmatched
Another disadvantage is the lack of a rail. That's why some people chop the G19 frame to use G26 magazines. All the advantages and none of the disadvantages. Good luck trying to sell that chopped frame though.
Exactly.
@@giovanisatiro30 they sell rail atachments that work perfectly. its not needed from factory.
@@SharkByteOfficial You're correct. Chopped 19 still has better sight radius. That's the whole point. All the advantages and none of the disadvantages.
Thanks for taking Alaska into consideration! Sadly I would have to say to a G20 or 40 for southeast Alaska. However that is because I hunt & am very active outdoors. Enjoyed your review!
Love the channel! Would like to see you do a review on the canik rival. And the diamond back sidekick. The reason is because your opinion and reviews are great. Thank you sir.
lol i've seen a few of these, but that thumb of a glock tower is the first time i was blown away before I even clicked. Hickok's gun collection is nuts. One day I hope to use a single gun as well as he uses AAAALLLLLLLLLLL of these.
Hickock and John you can put up a video of yall kickin rocks, ID watch it. Thanks for being a great educator.
😆
Been watching you since the early days and enjoy the educational aspect of your channel. If I had to choose a Glock it would probably be the Glock 26 Gen5.
Outstanding demo on them Glocks Mr. Hickok45. I can Rest better because my only Glock (to date) is a G19. Thanks. - N Idaho -
Hickok45 has permanent grooves that act as channels for his glock slides on his right hand whenever it reciprocates. What a legend.
I think I subbed when you guys had less than 100k subs. It's insane to see how far the channel has grown! thanks for all the content over the years! you guys have come so far!
I’ve been watching his videos since I was in middle school. I graduate college this year
13 years holy you are not lying!
I’ve had my G21 for 15 years and I will never sell it. It’s literally an extension of my hand. Never had a failure after tens of thousands of rounds. Only had to change my barrel one time…so far. I’ve had the 17 and 26 but sold them. I do have the 42 because it’s a great CQC backup.
Did it wear out, got less accurate? Or did it crack or something?
I just bought my first glock last week and I love it, I’ve made a good choice with the 19 gen 5.
This man is nothing short of an incredible shot and an interesting guy.
Hell use what ever ammo u want hell what am I today I kinda agree with hikok except Glocks are let's face it a TOOL and they never fail
Yep. He’s also down to Earth and he has real humility unlike many men men of his calibre. He’s truly a great man like my father that died two months ago.
@@troydixon4425I’ve never been a fan of Glock and I can’t deny how good the grip angle is(close to the bore as he points out), how good the factory sights are and how insanely reliable Glocks are.
Not my cup of tea but I’d trust my family and I’s life to one in a New York second!
@ryanjofre it never goes away but it gets better man. God bless you make pops proud!
A G26 with X-Grips (lengthens the grip with G19 and G17 magazines) is the most versatile non-woods Glock. Mine also has a laser/light and a threaded barrel.
14:35...."see it's a very accurate magazine". 😂😂😂
As for your choice, I couldn't agree more. My Gen3 19 just does it all for me. Love my 43 too, but as for the last I'd ever sell, G19 all the way. I've been watching you for years and can't thank you enough for all the wonderful content. I just feel at home when watching your videos. God bless and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!!
How lucky for me the gen 3 19 is the first firearm I ever bought. I guess I made the right call!
Just as importantly as not knowing the number he has but also the serial numbers that are on the barrels in the opening shot.
Gen3 19 is my favorite and I will never sell it.
The best of the best here in this legendary good man. Always presents such useful and matter of fact info.
Not a bad shooter either. lol
I’ve been watching Hickok since I was a young teenager loved guns but never owned one… that changed this week and I went with a Glock 19 gen5. Thank you for all the years of knowledge and entertainment.
Wow I just woke up and here's Hickok. Wonderful.
Excellent video! I don't own a Glock because they don't fit well in my hand, but I have no doubt that they are work horses and extremely reliable.
I''ve owned several Glocks. The 19 is my favorite.... by far. Glock 42: too hard to pull the slide back; 36 had too much recoil; 40 S&W models too snappy; 10MMs too big in grip... but the 19 is just right!!
at first you did the best with the 17 but then you went on an absolute tear with the 19! excellent video all around. I know you love the 30 as well and kinda wish I saw it on here perhaps with and x grip but as you mentioned with all your firearms and all things considered... anyway now I really want a 19
Great video. I really appreciate how well you shoot each and every gun.
I'm a one-at-a-time Glock owner, so far. I went from a G42, when it first came out, to a G19 3gen, used, then to a G26 gen 4, used. Love the G26 best of that trio. (As Hickok45 did in a video from many years ago, but alas, not today.) But, if it was a two Glock contest then the G43 and G19 would be my choices.
The gen 3 recoil spring is trash. The 4th gen is god tier in the 21, and the 5th gen only come 9/40..
Try a different brand you won't go back. Glocks are such cheap junk.
Consider adding vs trading
1st off, Glocks are not cheap junk. They are the most modular, aftermarket-supported pistols on the market. They run, are accurate out of the box, and can swap calibers with a simple barrel change.
That said, they aren’t as sexy or satisfying as Beretta and Sig steel pistols. Not even close.
They all have their place. If I had it my way I’d have Beretta and Sig with all the modularity of Glock, but that’s cake and eating it too.
@@johndoe1408 Maybe you are right... But my Glock 26 is my go to gun. Never felt a need to replace it.
Sir, you have the best channel of them all. Appreciate the calm, no drama, presentation. Question: which Generation of
Glock 19 do you prefer? If you said it, I missed it. Of course, I see this video was done two years ago.
Love your style, don't own guns but I do enjoy your knowledge.
As I fell out of shooting I stopped watching gun TH-cam videos. However your channel always deserves a watch and a “Like.” Hope you’re doing well guys!
Try to fall back into it if you can. Thanks for watching!
How do you fall out?
Excellent question ☝☝☝!!! I'm intrigued for the answer...
Did you fall out if self defense as well?
I'm genuinely puzzled as to how you would loose interest in shooting and self defense. Perhaps you are no longer a gun guy but just the average American who carries a firearm.
I love your aiming skills. When you let off the 3rd gun, glock 17, you hit everything you were aiming for. It really is fun to watch your experience.
nope...missed the 1st shot on the gong
@@andrewdow1609 lol, gong with a 17 and how may yard's out is the target? That's still impressive skills
@@houdini6059 he missed 2 shots no shade to Hickok or you, just stating the facts
@@shakmackiietv915 lmgdmfao 🤣🤣🤣
@@houdini6059 what does lmgd mean, and what’s so funny?
Great video! But there’s no replacing my G17 over the 19… hands down⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Been watching Hickok for YEARS C and bought many firearms I’ve his recommendations. Buds has been the go to online store for a long time as well. Actually CC’ing a modded Glock 19 that I swap for a sig p365 and S&W m&p shield 2.0. I love how my Glock shoots and the comfort.
Thank you and John for all your hard work. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving Sir.
I'm in love with my Glock 17 Gen 4, the finger grip, fiber sights, flawless grouping from 25 yards. My Five Seven is the only thing I would choose over it, just because, 5.7x28
Glock 45 better
I know you love the p365 and so do I! The p365X is perfect for me with talon grip and a hogue grip. Having said that, I’ve owned a G23 and would love a G19 one day but will be buying a G30s this summer. Can’t wait. Love your videos Hickok. Thanks for all you do! Fellow Nashvillian here.
I just picked up a 43x today. And my first glock was a 19. I thought it was funny that those were your final 2 choices and I'm totally happy with my decisions
Love my G43 and my G19. Never had any complaints
Same. Both great guns.
I’d have to stick with the Glock 26. It fits ALL 9mm double stack mags.
Most of them do, even the little 43x you imbecile.
@@jforeman748 A Glock 19 will not fit a Glock 26 mag and a Glock 17 will not fit a Glock 19 mag, a 26 will fit all of them. The 43X will not fit any of these that I have mentioned. Educate yourself.
@@caesarselfreliance.4081 What are you talking about? The magazines are interchangeable genius.
The double stack 9mm I mean. The 43x can hold the 33 round magazine.
@@jforeman748 Unfortunately that is incorrect. The 43x will only fit 43x and 48 mags. It will not fit the other doubles stack mags such as the 19 and 17 mags.
Hickok45 I was anxiously waiting for you to pull out a Glock 27 somewhere. Because from watching you for so many years I knew that was one of your favorites. LOL but no Glock 27 today
Watching this guy hit targets that fast actually scares me to know that it’s people like him out here lol 😂
People like him shouldn’t scare you unless you are a home burglar or something to that effect. What you should really be scared of is the government slowly becoming a socialist dumpster fire.
😂
That’s right
When the police are defunded and criminals run more rampant than now
The question becomes who will protect them from shooters like this
Go H 45
Train and drill and u could do it too takes alot of practice n discipline but a skill worth having
@Kev Campbell You clearly don't know what you are talking about.
My first gun was a Glock 23 Gen. 4, which I chose by watching your reviews. I’ll never part with it. Surprised the 23 wasn’t in your lineup. Love your channel stay safe!!!
Same!
I’m new to Glocks in the last year, the 19 is by far my favorite as well. Something about how it just fits in my hands perfectly.
I agree with you, the larger extended magazine balance the gun so well in your hands, I’d recommend
@@___meph___4547 no you’re right. I don’t conceal carry though so I’ve never really considered that. Will come in handy during zombie apocalypse 😂
Glock 43X MOS is my favorite concealed carry. 45 MOS is a close second.
That’s exactly how I feel with the 29, baby 10MM, and I love the power/accuracy/punch of the 10MM round, it will be with me forever
I think I have average sized hands, and the grip on the 19 is too short for me. The 17 is perfect. Way too big to carry IWB, but it's a great home defense pistol.
I bought a Glock 23 Gen 3 several years ago after watching one of Hickoks videos. I still carry it and can shoot it better than any other pistol that I own. I’m kind of surprised it didn’t make his final cut
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it
The Glock 19 would be my choice too. I love my g48 especially with the shield arms flush fit 15 rd mags but for best all around you can’t go wrong with the g19.
I carry my G48 when hunting mostly and sometimes in public if im wearing a belt. I prefer to carry the G43 if im not hunting. I love my G48, plus it has a rechargeable laser light, which works great in the woods in the early morning and night. Only problem I have is half my magazines are Glock, and the other half are Shield Arms, so I havent decided if I want to put the steel mag catch in yet (I have a steel and aluminum one).
I agree on keeping my Glock 19 given those choices. I own or have owned many of the same Glocks. However, I would choose my Glock 48 for the slimmer grip if Glock factory mags were available with a few more rounds of ammo (13+ vs. 10).
Resisted Glocks for a long time.. finally bought a G19 few years ago. Fantastic handgun.
You are a very skillful shooter and have a great collection of Glock pistols the only calibers that you are missing are in the .40-.357 sig range. I have 2 glocks a M19 9mm and a M27 40 cal. and I wouldn't part with either. I chose a M19 many years ago over a M17 because I totally loved the compact feel and hand fitment and wasn't concerned with the 2 round less capacity, I also wanted a sub-compact model too so it was between a M26, M27, or M33 but I was really interested in the versatility of shooting other calibers so I just happened to come across a M27 40cal. and I purchased a factory M33 .357 sig barrel and swap between them to satisfy my own personal choice. If I had your collection and had the difficult choice in having to part with only 1 of them I personally would chose the M17 since you have so many others chambered for 9mm, as for which one that I would never part with I don't even think that even I could bring myself to making that difficult decision.
Saludos Profesor, mis saludos desde Venezuela, una elección muy acertada, muchísimas gracias por eso, que continúe excelente al igual que su familia, un abrazo y mi aprecio para Ud..
How are things doing over there?
I would say the best choice is the 19. Having said that, I find your comment about carrying the S&W and the Sig more these days interesting. I watched your 9mm CCW comparison vid. and didn't come away with the impression you were 100% sold on either of those.
I have a G43 subcompact 9mm and a G21 Gen4 standard .45 Auto. The G43 I have in an Uncle Mike's size 4 inside-the-pocket holster and put it into my front right pocket. The G21 Gen4 I have in a Galco Miami Classic II shoulder system. I use Hornady Critical Defense ammunition in both. Can't really imagine giving up either. I have a motorcycle as a daily rider and always ride alone. A man needs a way of defending himself if things go sideways.
Great video! You have the best range!! I like all (17, 43, & 20)my Glocks too! I shoot my tightest group with my 17 so I choose 17.
