Question - What videos would you like to see? Leave it in the comments!
Episode 50 is a relatively light list of reasons as to why everyone should own a glock. Out of all the polymer framed guns out there, the glock still reins supreme. People make videos questioning whether or not a new gun is a "Glock Killer" for a reason. Because glock is the gold standard. Of course, there are many more reasons why you should own a glock that weren't included, but we didn't want the video to be 7 hours long. At bare minimum, everyone should have something along the lines of a glock 19 or glock 17 with 5 magazines stored in a safe somewhere at home. Because.....freedom.
Shout out to Gunsmith Devin for the cameo. His email is in the description. *And the Gen 2 is the one without finger grooves.
Owning a firearm is a necessity, owning a Glock is a matter of choice.
Necessity.
Sounds good......on paper.
As long as the firearm is reliable.
Glock is the AK of pistols
If you support your local gunsmith, don't buy a Glock. He'll never get any business out of you.
he will get some work from you like changing the trigger and those plastic sites
Trump can’t buy one now😂🤣😂
He can’t buy a gun that don’t have anything to do with the charge! America for ya!
@@Reg44T felons can’t buy guns…..🤔
Fun fact : Trump had 2 guns in his name, which one was only returned, and I bet the other is in Florida where Ron DeSantis resides and reigns, so Trump is in good hands
Are you happy about that?
@@Scoutsquad45Felons can’t own guns ask anywhere
Please! Go watch garand thumbs mud and frozen test. I'll give you a hint... didn't turn out too well for that Glock.
Facts!
What surprised me was SP-01 on that, and it really eats everything and runs nonstop!
I can tell you I carried a Glock while in the Marine Patrol (saltwater) for 7 years when I was a young man in the early 90s. That Glock got abused and it held up well.
idk about you but i don’t plan on freezing my gun over or throwing it all in the mud like a retard BUT with alittle FL sand or mud on a glock which i’ve done it’s be fine, having that said i am in the market and will be getting a m&p 2.0 JUST incase the world freezes over lolol
@@cobia224...Thanks for your service 4:15
Yeah I love my Glock 22 gen 2. Bought it 17 years ago and still shooting like new. No mods. EDC.
I agree, I just bought the Gen5 Glock 45. Love that gun! But I own several others as well. But owning at least one I think is a must.
I started my handgun ownership journey back in 2001 with an HK USP. I’ve owned several HKs and Sigs over the years. Very nice handguns. However, the Glock has been my go-to.
CZ P-10 series is highly underrated! Definitely better than glocks.
i agree
I agree as well…
The P10c is literally what Glock could have been by now. I love Cz.
@@hunter1028The CZ performs excellently but it’s noticeably heavier than Glock. The P10s is just about the weight of a G17. I suspect it’s the
*thick* barrel. The action on the P10 feels smoother, and the trigger is far superior. But a collection can be complete without them. Gotta have a Glock in there somewhere.
Thank you my friend, I was gonna have to come down n say this but obviously we all know
I got a taurus pt 845 all original parts had over 15 yrs and has 5,000 rds and still amazing old marine pistol
Glock is in the same league as Harleys. That is to say that they generally suck, but they make enough aftermarket parts for you to spend money on to make it livable. I would rather spend my money elsewhere.
I leave my Glocks stock, and they’ve been the most reliable handguns in my personal arsenal. Not sure what your experience has been but maybe it’s the Indian and not the arrow.
@@edmalone7374 never owned a glock. Held one, took a couple apart, didn't like the feel. But by the time I touched a glock, I had already been shooting a Walther P88, WaltherP99, a CZ75, and an IMI Jericho 941. It isn't really fair to compair them, I know. But why would I want to go backwards to a Glock? If I want a striker, I'll pick up a Q5SF. Glocks are just not good enough to be so popular, like a political candidate. If anything will do, glock is the go to. But have you ever shot a P88? You get spoiled.
Never purchase a Glock, Maybe I will one day but it's not high on my list. There are other reliable guns. I feel like Glock took the consumer for granted and they keep putting out the same thing, each clock look exactly alike. While the rest of the market is adding everything like compensators, better trigger ,better sights to there guns, Glock just keeps putting out the same old thing, even though they know that's what the consumer want. By the time you upgrade to all of that you've spent twice the money for a Glock with all the upgrades. I ratber purchase from another company right now, especially one who listens to what the consumer has to say. A great example of this look at the last set of guns that Smith & Wesson put out with the compensators along with metal sights, and a much better trigger than Glock
Totally agree… Glock takes the consumer for granted. I guess the mantra is “…Hmph, it’s good enough…”.
Yep
Its going to go bang. I couldn’t care any less about the trigger and any other thing you just said. It’s about training and reliability.
I honestly believe that glock gets maybe a portion of revenue from all of the aftermarket support, which is why they don't really care about releasing something new
@@treefitty937 won't be too reliable if the plastic sights break off 🌝
Tp9 elite sc enigma express has kept me feeling extremely safe throughout my day to day. Less than 4 pound trigger pull no modifications no issues with the DA if i need to defend myself.
Glocks just work.
When you don't fire them
After years being an NRA certified RSO I can tell you that Glocks are not perfection. They are very good, don’t get me wrong. Unfortunately nothing is perfect. I do totally agree with 99% of your instructions on this channel. Carry on and blessings to you and yours.
I'm with Devin, I'm a 1911 fan by choice, but if SHTF I won't have any concerns with my Glock's dependability, and just like 1911's Glock mods are endless
The only reason glocks are known to be so reliable is because theyve been put in situations to be tested in the first place. It's like highering the guy with 30 yrs experience and no education rather than the guy with a masters in that field and an internship. Give the second guy a shot, and may very well outperform the first guy with time.
Romine was with my mom last night getting a Glock... I too got a Glock afterwards LOL!
I bought a Glock 19.in the early 90's shot a few thousand rounds through it over the years. Carried it like an OG. It's the same gun it was back then and shoots every bit as well.
I'm older now and it's just too clunky for me to carry every day, everywhere/all the time -and frankly these days nothing goes inside my pants that isn't SA/DA, has a decocker and an external hammer that I can hold forward and ride all the way into the holster. Plus it also must have a real actual external safety. Mr. Stubby absolutely demands these features in order for any firearm to cohabitate in my pants or it is a No Go.
The Radom P64 checks all the boxes I care about. My G19 sits in a.sealed ammo can with a few holsters, a few mags and 500 rounds of ammo ready to go. It's the B-team. As a service weapon it is great -but it isn't up to the job safety-wise to cohabitate with Mr Stubby IMHO. Your mileage may vary.
as a left handed shooter that prefers to carry a leather holster for comfort and a weapon light...i can say yeah a Glock was a necessity for me for almost 15 years...but then came the springfield Hellcat RDP....almost 15K rounds later, an MCarbo trigger kit with a streamlight TLR-8....well if only i had met RDP first!
Actually the reason they removed the finger grooves for Gen 5 is because when they added them to Gen 4, majority of people hated it. So Glock was like "sorry we'll take them off"
Instructions unclear, gave a Glock to an oily baby duckling.
He seemed to like it though.
I chose Springfield over Glock waaaaay back when the XD was 1st introduced. Glock's grip angle was so foreign to me, it was immediately obvious how much training $$$ I'd be spending to get proficient once I'd sent rounds downrange. That's been reingineered now, so I'll be giving Glock another look.
When I buy a firearm, I take into account cost of magazines, availability of parts and aftermarket accessories. I bought a Smith and Wesson 411 and now I can't find parts for it!
Glocks hqve always performed when needed. I hqve had serveral versions (40 cal and 9mm) that have ridden daily at my side for 32 years and they always worked when needed by me and plenty of fellow officers.. I like and own both the Shield 40 and Glocks..
The truest words ever spoken
I call Glock the iPhone of the gun industry, they won’t innovate but they just work, I traded my shield plus for the 43X MOS and I’m very happy with it and see why people love them
I’d bet my life on my p365 x-macro. One failure in the first 50 rounds (may have been user error). 5000 rounds later without another hiccup. I hate the grip angle on Glocks though, so I never considered buying one. I now own a Zev though, so I guess I’m in the ecosystem.
Alston I have a Gloc 27 Gen 4 what kind of holster would you recommend ?
Also, I do own one OEM Glock and it’s the 20SF. I bought it due to being able to shoot 3 diff calibers from the same weapon; 10mm, .40 S&W & .357 Sig (my favorite caliber of all) with a conversion barrel and diff mags. So, I see that as buy 1, get 3.
Owning a GLOCK is a NECESSITY!
Glocks are outdated and they require spending more money on aftermarket upgrades. There are better options on the market that come upgraded right out of the box.
Outdated is a bonus when you have years of expertise on how to break them down fix them etc and the fewer parts and points of failure
You said the gen 3 doesn’t have finger grooves but mine gen 3 does it’s Glock factory made
Gen 3 actually DID have finger grooves
Always a fire a** vid with Romine
I was thinking about getting a 1911 in .45 ACP
I can't lie Romine this this one of my favorite videos from you bruh.
Fine I’ll get a Glock lol. I’m thinking about getting the Glock 19
Pls shop around first.
The 19 is a good start. But what is the intended use for the Glock? The 19 is the middle ground for both home defense and carry
@@MrBlahblahblee ok. Sure. I’ll give you that. Look for form instead of brand. Compact frame, 15 round minimum, optic ready, 1913 rail, iron sights, great grip. How many other guns fit this bill?
The GEN three has finger grooves because I have one.
The gen 3 had finger grooves.
there’s no reason everyone should have a Glock. For new shooters they are a fantastic baseline to see what they like without getting too invested financially. For people who like them and shoot them well they are the Camry of the gun world. But out of the box there are plenty of better guns. If you like customizing, there are more accurate, equally reliable, “better guns” out there depending on shooting style and personal preference. I will never own a Glock, unless they make dramatic changes. I’ve shot so many models and didn’t like any of them. Granted, I don’t like most striker fired guns. 1911s and CZ 75 variants are my go to options.
I own two Glocks the G45 Gunsite model and the G43X MOS. I like them and they are great guns but I prefer the PDP, CZ's, or Sigs
Did you say Gen 3 didn’t have finger grooves?
CZ is necessary. Beretta is the “ fun gun” 😊
I have one in my household lol glock is my favorite gun of all time
Gen 3 had finger grooves
The ultimate battlefield pick up gun, mags are plentiful spare parts are plentiful, SHTF gun around the world.
Canik seems like a great choice. I own 2.
Glocks are reliable, but I'm not a fan.. 1. I don't like the ergonomics of the gun 2. Why buy a gun I have to modify to make it how I want when their are other quality guns that have features I want out of the box for the same price
Gen 3 had finger grooves. I thought the recoil spring changed since then too.
Just not a fan of the feel of Glocks - these days I would say Hk,CZ, and Smith and Wesson are just as reliable. I got a P30 with two thousand plus rounds batting a 1000!
My shadow system mr920l basically a high end glock and it just runs .,but I do own a glock 27
I think HK has glock beat for reliability/durability, but not by much. Glock is better or equal to any other brand in this category
Yessir!! Glock for the win!!🫡🫡
That's because, everything on a Glock needs to be changed..😂
Not really. But everything CAN be changed. But it's a solid gun out of the box if we're being honest.
Only fools think that.
ONLY fools… you’d better shop around. Too many options these days.
@@Manoflight261put a Holosun and a grip on a Glock and you have a solid firearm. Not sure why people are trying to insinuate you need anything else
A Glock is probably the only thing I have that’s stock. I usually say stock don’t rock.
I hear you bro on the accessories however, they HAVE to make accessories for Glock BECAUSE no accessories are provided with a Glock… unless you pay a God awful amount of money. Canik, they already give you a lot. Ruger, may be the same but, I’m not a Ruger guy so, I don’t know. Your statement of accessories could be stated for S&W as well. If you want to discuss age, you have Baretta & HK. Glock is a necessary building block in the gun world, I will say that. I have an issue with Glock because they as a company lack innovation and they are severely overpriced, IMO.
I call horseshit on the resale value. No one will give you what you paid for it.
That whole Glock plug in this video with Trump didn’t age well as now that he is a Convicted criminal he can’t own or buy any gun including a Glock. 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't believe you people celebrate a weaponized Justice Department, it just may be you one day......
Why do I need to buy a handgun where I have to change out the trigger?
You don’t have to change the trigger, it works just fine. Just practice
I think they change them because they can. Mine works fine as is.
Everyone wants a glock until they start changing all the parts on it to make it better and aesthetically pleasing. Then they start seeing reliability issues and realize...I should have just bought a gun that already comes with all these features and is just as reliable since we live in the age of modernized firearms. 🤷🏿♂️
As long as it's a Glock 30 Gen 4.
I was with your mom and she just got a Glock was crazy 😂
Got a stock glock for everyday carry 💪🏽
I need that Gen 3 Glock 19 💪🏽💯
Fa sho
As reliable as Glocks are, the HK USP is pretty much the most bomb proof pistol ever made, takes more work to shoot well though. SIG 226 not far behind.
HK P30 series
M&P 2.0
Sig P226/229
Walther PPQ
All as reliable as Glock and better out the box
Get outside and touch grass once in a while
@@oceaser6977 you talking to me or the OP? Regardless what’s this obsession with touching grass? Since we’re talking real life experience P30 and the OG W German 226/229 are the only pistols on the list I know to run 50k plus rounds before slide cracks but a USP can go 90k or more. M&Ps are great but still don’t know of any pushed that hard, yeah they’re frost proof thanks @garandthumb 😂
What about a Glock clone like a Psa dagger? I know it’s not the sage company but it’s a budget gucci Glock.
Glock is what started it the polymer striker fired pistol ..but m&p and cz and so on have passed em up ..they are just as reliable ..but Glock did lay the foundation..
You ain’t never lied
Love the Sig hat.
Yours wrong gen 3 does have finger grooves
The Gen 3 did have finger grooves, though.
Yep, it took me a while to become a Glock guy. But now I get it. It took me a while to become a Prius guy, but now I get it. It’s like an iPhone, there’s plenty of other options, but we all know it’s the best option.
Gen 3 has finger grooves as well 😊
Only reason T man bought a Glock is because it had his name on it. He would've bought a Hi-Point if it had the same bedazzling. Friends don't let friends buy Glock
Can be reliable but I never have a glock when shoot by self and nobody talking about same with Sig Sauer so nop plus is kind a gun out from box is not the best like canik, HK Walter
Glock is noted for most reliable and most modular. Literally can make a brick fit for your needs 😂
He couldn’t get it to though was at one of the best place to buy guns palmetto state armory where I got couple of Glocks etc and gen 3 had finger grooves four and 5 don’t my Glock 36 has night sights on it only mod on my Glock my 43x is hard to get now in two tone my wife has custom 43xs and my Glock 27 is a work horse in 40sw
Remember when Trump gave felons the right to bear arms? Neither do I.
you don't need aftermarket stuff when the gun is good out of the box. my Canik lives in my holster, my Glocks live in my gun safe.
I'm a CZ 👍🏿1911 type of guy
I have Glock adjacent, Shadow Systems is everything Glock should be out of the box, though I would still purchase another Glock and likely will at some point in the near future.
Absolutely!!!👍🏾
IN 2024 SO MANY BRANDS ARE AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN GLOCK
Bought a Glock and had turn his Glock in. 😂
🤙💥☆"GLOCK"☆💥🤙
Lol I own a Glock 17 Gen4 which I love to bits, but I also don't think having a Glock is a necessity, owning any gun that goes bang is a necessity
A felon isn't supposed to be able to buy a gun..So much for yall being the party of law and order 🤷🏻♂️
Great info video!
I know Toyotas with bad transmissions 😂
Wooooo, get off my mama, lol !!!
I love guns
Damn it Maaaaah 😂😂😂
I have a sd40ve so I'm good lol
Nice video.
Thanks!
Dude can not stop selling Toyotas
Ninja, why you gotta make this ish political...I got enough in my feed from the left and right on some bullish**. Unsubbed bruh, you betta than that.
Cause the left is going to disarm you and every other American
I don't owe you anything. I don't even know you. Go touch grass
@@alstontrainingsdude is in his feelings like a schoolgirl 😂
Good for him 😂 tf
🗣️ Trump 2024 though 🇺🇸
