all good points. Hard to argue with such a proven platform and at a certain point I think it just comes down to personal preference & your personal comfort/proficiency with the platform. this reminds me of a meme i saw showing how gun folks usually start with something like a glock, go through a series of fancy guns only to end back up where they started with with a renewed appreciation for simplicity and solid fundamentals. Keep up the good vids bro
Thanks man, I appreciate it. Glock is definitely not known for “doing the work for you” like some 1911s out there, but it’s mechanically accurate and will do its job if the shooter does his. I believe one of the pro shooters said something to the effect of “Glocks are guns that will help you improve your skills vs other tricked out race guns that will help you with your scores”. I think there is a lot truth in that statement.
I like a good Beretta 92. But Glock would probably be my go to since it was the first handgun I shot. For what it is worth, I think that DA trigger can help make a better marksman when properly mastered.
Definitely agree. I will definitely try to get another one sometime in the future. The DA triggers does help shooters with a good grip and trigger press, this has definitely translated to better control on other platforms
I have a Gen5 G17 MOS with the Holosun SCS and Night Fision Costa Ludas sights. Haven’t been to the range in over 2-3 years so still have yet to shoot it.
I was at a pistol class 2 weeks ago led by a very well-known instructor. He was shooting a PDP, the assistant instructor was shooting a Glock 17, the majority of the class was shooting Glocks of course because most were LE, local and federal. Aside from the instructors, the best results (speed and accuracy) over three-days of shooting were consistently coming from people with DA/SA (Beretta's and CZ) pistols and SA (2011's) pistols, most from concealment. That first shot with a Glock might be fast but it takes more effort for it to be accurate (especially cold) than an M9A4/92. Long Time Glock owner.
I believe training can get a person faster through the first shot on the berettas, but it’s that second shot transition that usually requires concentration (I know I did not state this in this video), it’s easy to throw the 2nd shot then get back on with the 3rd because of that trigger transition. I did LE qualifications with the PDP, M9A4, Glocks, Sig 228, 320 and M18s. All did well, but for some reason when one handed shooting drills came in, the Glocks and the PDP did the best for me. I do have a soft spot in my heart for the berettas and would like to get a resident evil themed one when I can 😂
So first, I call BS on the assertion that those shooting best (speed and accuracy) were doing so b/c they were shooting with DA/SA pistols. Your assertion is without merit as shooting fast and accurate is directly related to training over tool. The facts support that those who train and are competent shooters shoot faster and more consistently with striker fire pistols. Also, those with no shooting experience at all adapt to the striker fire platforms much easier than DA/SA platforms. There are a number of reasons striker fire pistols dominate the professional and commercial ranks today, one of which is ease of use. This is an irrefutable fact.
@@oleboy7615 You can call BS all you want about something you were not physically attending or did not see for yourself; My only assertion was what happened at a 3-day class, so that has plenty of merit. Been shooting Glocks since 1994 so get off the high horse and stop looking for something to be mad about.
Thanks for subbing. I try to cover different things when I can. Keep in mind my options are formed from my experiences, background, and preferences which have the potential to change as new gear becomes available or if I learn something new about something. Please feel free to put your input in the comments of any of my videos.
Picked up Beretta APX, didn't get much love here in the states but I really like it. I cant get a glock to hit the side of a barn, so i stopped trying. Gave me glockcoma..haha
I never owned the APX, but have heard it is a very reliable pistol. Glock can be an acquired taste depending on which model you shoot for sure. The 17 size fits me well and I shoot better with the full size than their other models.
I really want to know how people use the glock mos mine didnt even last 500 rounds .im getting very curious to here how much people shoot ?that part will fail so if you dont shoot your gun than it will never break lol if you use your gun it will fail just a matter of when .
I’ve heard about those issues, but I know of a lot of LEOs that run the MOS plates that have thousands of rounds used without issues with their gen 5. I don’t know if Glock changed the material slightly at one time or if they put a better alloy in the blue label models for the plates. It’s possible that over tightening could be a possibility but I have no evidence to support that theory. I will update the channel if mine fails.

I’m currently running G45… love it
It’s a great gun.
Agreed.

I started the same EDC back in Mar 2024.....at age 69 I don't miss!!
Awesome

I’m sure that setup will work nicely for you when you get a chance to run it. I haven’t tried the costa Luda sights yet.

@ Sure thing!
Went browsing through your channel after this video and subbed since I saw a bunch of videos that I’m interested to watch
