When I first started shooting striker fired guns seriously I hated the way a Glock felt in my hand. But once I actually had a little time dry fire practicing and some live fire I realized that Glock actually forced me to grip the gun in a manner than was beneficial to shooting faster with quicker splits and less time waiting for the sights to realign. I have been with Glock ever since...
I agree the grip is everything. The low left issues, are misdiagnosed sometimes as anticipating the shot. Reality is,that if you are right handed (flip the opposite of this for the left handed), you are like just tightening that grip squeeze at the last second (trying to control the recoil) which causes the muzzle to move. Holding Firmly but not squeezing the grip hard with the dominant hand, and letting my left support hand do all of the hard work in terms of keeping the gun fixed on target has helped me massively.
I have a Beretta APX compact it’s just a little smaller then Glock 19. I also carry appendix. In the summer sometimes I will carry my wife’s S&W M&P Shield 2.0 EZ. Because I am in Southern Arizona and it gets hot
I agree with you 100%, I've been shooting a little over a year went with the stock clock 19 change the sights and got extremely proficient with it. Then I started to upgrade my game a but and picked up a Shadow systems mr920 with a Holosun 507c and training a few days a week to be proficient with my red dot now.
I’ve been running a Gen 2 G19 for 25 years. Other than the sights, she’s stock, and eats everything that I feed her. I’m considering changing my Kramer leather IWB to an appendix rig, but haven’t yet. BTW nice watch.
I agree with you about modifying the workings of your carry weapon I race dirt bikes and if you want to go faster learn to ride what you have. Add-ons dont make you faster.
Yeah there is definitely something to be said about keeping it consistent. There's also something to be said about being flexible. But its a free country so there's always that too hahaha
I am coming around on the Glock 19. Used to hate it, but it is tough to beat the magazine and accessory availability. Thinking of training in my XD and XDM for a 19/17 or clones. Really like the Shadow System MR920.
Yes sir a true minimalist indeed. After have gone through a few pistols, Glock 19 is the best fit for me. With a night fision perfect dot and a streamlight Trl7a paired with a desantis slim tuk, Im good to go. I will eventually try tier 1 Axis elite.👍🏼
I carry a Beretta Apx compact, it comes with two 13 round magazines but can fits the 15 and 17 round magazines, I use I carry appendix with minuteman concealment with a side car. I just got a Olight and I am wait on a new light bearing holster from minuteman concealment
How do you like it so far? I'm trying to decide between the APX Compact and Centurion since they're such a great deal ($350ish even with the inflated pandemic prices) and my friend's full size APX with Beretta's Competition Firing Pin Spring Assembly in it is such a sweet shooting pistol. Would it be better to get the APX Compact for carry and use the 15/17/21 round mag for range days or just get the Centurion with the 15 round mag for everything? Also any holster suggestions? My friend usually carries his OWB and I'm probably going to carry appendix when I purchase one.
@@JacksonWalter735 I have the Apx compact and love it it’s the same size as Centurion the compact and the compact will work with the 17,15, and 21 magazines
Really nice video. I like your set up. I have been carrying my p238 for the past three years. Most of my buddies carry bad ass glocks and Sig’s that are decked out. I have to keep it simple mostly due to work and I am always out and about with my kids. Definitely have a fan here. Subscribed
@@TATargets I just changed my edc set up, I know am running a Glock 26. Mostly switched due to the versatility of it and being able to take bigger magzzines if needed
I love how there arent more and more channel that focus on shooting and how use gear in life applicable ways rather then guns review (sales man) that push on late and greatest
👍🏻on the video! Not a Glock guy myself, I run the CZ PCR appendix,myself. Just feel safer with a da/sa setup. But the rest of your gear is minimalist and effective.
I have spent all morning deciding if I’m going to add to my stock Glock 19 3gen and after watching this I’m Still keeping it stock I just love how it feels.... maybe I will buy a gen5 and deck it out a Lil but I’m keeping my first Glock stock maybe just add some color to it
G19, CZ P07, S&W 2.0C are also great... from my time perspective, if you are new in the market, I would consider first two from the begining of my post :)
@@J.Young808 mostly for more peace of mind, safety reason. I got few P10C and there are few minor difference between 2018 and 2020 model year (newer are really smoother, mostly on drop magazine button. huge improvement. I sold all P10C's I got, but at that time I shoot P10C's and P07 at the same time. I like width grip on P07 a lot more than skinny one on P10C. Its more like G19 style in hand. Like long but smooth first pull and than pretty short reset and very nice trigger. I like a lot trigger on G19 gen5 FS, specially reset. It is very pronounce, very short and very nice feel. However I still can shoot faster on stock M&P 2.0 than Glock. Try also P09 - it is really really nice gun. Best regards!
Love the practical philosophies. The one thing I'm confused about that I hear a lot is that "I never clean it and its still running". Like, I get they're tools, and they can run in not ideal conditions but if its your carry piece and you want to rely on it working. Why wouldn't you want to make sure its in ideal ready to go condition? Like why live closer to the failure point than create a larger buffer before then by keeping it clean/lubed/maintained? Like tools work better maintained, its still a machine.
This is true, but I think many folks overthink it. For example, I'm on my second barrel in this G19. I know it like the back of my hand and I know when she's ready for a good scrubbing down. That's the benefit of me shooting 10's of thousands of rounds: I know the failure points of all my weapon systems. Hope that explains it better!
Like that you didn’t Gucci out your 19 but went towards training/practice and warbelt/AIWB. That’s something I wish I did rather than buy a 19 frame and build it up.
FINALLY!!!!!! A new edc video that actually involves a firearm. I’m absolutely sick of these soy boys and their skinny jean edc videos . Thank you my friend. Great video !
Active retention holsters are your friend if you feel the need for a “duty rig.” Gun grabs are real, and passive retention holsters will not help you there.
Find a friend with a few options or a gun shop that you can rent some pistols and shoot indoors. Bring someone who is skilled and that you trust to help you make a good choice.
Phone is in front pocket, keys I just carry or stuff in my pocket. Wallet is..eh bulky and needs changing. Sorry, I was mostly focused on the gun in this one. I’ll do an update on my other page KeystoneCarry at some point
@@TATargets the question is very clear !! it doesn't say that you guys are going out shooting people .... basically says what you need the gun for ?!?! And ( IF ) you kill someone for ( SELF DEFENSE) what's gonna happen ??
Over 2 million defensive gun situations a year. Depending where you live and what you do for a profession everyones need for a gun is different some need it more than others but regardless of that in America the only reason you need to justify why you carry a gun was explained very clearly right around 1776.
If you watched more than one minute of the video, you'd realize I am not pushing people to buy a Glock. Are they the best stock handgun? Sure. Doesn't mean you have to buy one. ;)
@@TATargets I'm now even more certain you know little about guns. Any premium gun out of the box is better than a Glock. For example. I don't own a VP9 nor a PPQ, (so I'm not advocating for them) but I know both guns are superior to a Glock out the box in every way. Glocks are barebones packages that overpriced because of the brand. The only advantage to the platform is it has the largest support of aftermarket items. In fact, even a Canik TP9 which I think is ugly as hell is functionally better than a Glock. Even mos Glock owners will tell you. right out the box, there need to be at least 4 upgrades, Trigger, sights, stipple, undercut. I totally agree with building your own P80, That's customizing from the ground up and arguably not even a Glock. These days, Glocks aren't even the most reliable, HKs, Springfields, are just as reliable. Sometimes I carry an XD-S in the summer and No one dares say a G43 is superior cuz it's, not without a ton of work done to it. Like I said, GlockFan Boy. No one who knows anything about guns will say, but a Glock fits my hand the best. As compared to what? other Glocks? did you get bricks for hands? Glocks aren't even contoured for palms. Go look at a P30L, VP9, P320, PPQ. All have better grips with adjustable backstraps. That's just off the top of my head. Out of the box, I'd say a G19 is comparable to a Ruger security 9. Which is like a throwaway truck pistol. It's reliable and you won't miss it if you had to use it and the cops held it for evidence. If you can tell me one factual aspect of a stock Glock that is better than a stock PPQ out the box, I will concede. This is a fair challenge because they are the same price. I promise you, you won't find it outside of aftermarket support which doesn't even count. You need to broaden your knowledge of gear. until then you're Just a Glock fanboy in Glock world.
