If you want a Glock, just buy a Glock. The prices on Glock have been pretty good lately. I work at a gun store, and we have the 43x for 400 bucks, and the 19 for 450 bucks. We have had a lot of issues with customers and their Shadow Systems guns. Just buy a Glock if you want a Glock. Smith and Wesson, Sig, and Springfield are all in the same ballpark as far as price goes. If you want Glock, buy Glock, and stop messing with these clones.
Racist!!! Damn you!! You must be far right!! I bet you got a American flag!! You're definitely a racist!!! ..............lol! If course I'm kidding but it's actually that bad nowadays!!
2:45 I thought Hickok was going to say something about a lack of loaded chamber indicator. Instead he made me literally LOL 😂 I love this man. His videos are a brief respite from all the challenging events in my life today.
I have two identical carry guns set up the same way. One is a backup and usually has a laser dry-fire cartridge in the chamber ready to go for some dryfire practice. I swap them out occasionally when I want to do some work or try out some mods. Should one be seized I'm back in action as soon as I get home to my safe. I really should get a second identical holster for it because that would probably go with the gun. I do have a drawer full of holsters I don't like so much that I could fall back on for a few days.
You're killing me! Ha ha ha ha ha... "That's the one negative! It has to have a round in the chamber or it won't fire.....if it was really innovative, it wouldn't require that!"
I just found out that apparently Polymer80 shut down operations. Which is sad. Giving people an affordable option in a Glock clone was nice. Luckily people like PSA, and various others, like this one, are availble too.
I dont believe i have ever even touched a glock before in my lifetime. I started with S&W then moved to FN and Springfield then got on a Canik kick for like last 10 years. Been loving my TP9SFX dont know if u have ever had the pleasure but its a great gun out the box. But also the S&W 2.0 ported and comped 10mm is a real nasty gun. Makes me get a shiver after clearing a mag in the 10 ring.
Shadow Systems is making some excellent guns! Another out fit making great glock clones is Live Free Armory an outfit out of Florida. I bought the Falcon 9XC recently as well as the Apollo 11. Great shooters right out of the box. The Falcon feels so much more solid in my hand than my Glocks, almost feels like a metal frame. All their firearms are reasonably priced too. Worth taking a look.
Three words. Attorneys on retainer. The only self defense attorney insurance I recommend and it's because they're not insurance. They will vigorously defend you regardless of plea deals, charges, what kind of weapon was used and no matter what jurisdiction you are in. Well worth it.
I bought my forst Glock 2 years ago,waited until they got broke in for 40 years. I like shooting it and it's reliable and accurate. I dont think Id buy a Glock clone since I have a ton of other pistols I want. If you love the Glocks im sure you're more prone to by a clone or maybe you dont want to spend the dollars on an original Glock so you go clone. It's a great hobby with so many different and so many the same. Enjoy!
I have bought, carry a few used, new/NIB type Glocks. I tote my used Glock 22 gen 4 or my new Glock gen 5 26 9x19mm. I have .357sig & 9mm converted barrels for the 22 gen 4. I had a screwed up carbon grey Cerakote Elite slide on the 22 gen 4. Both guns have Tango Down parts, LWA extractors, Glock Store guide rods, steel slide locks, Milspin back plates.
For years I toyed with the idea of putting a Ghost 3.5 lb connector in my Glock. I finally tried it & hated it. I had been shooting stock triggers so long. I put the factory set-up right back. No thanks.
I love watching the "my gun is better then yours" comments. If your gun operates efficiently, then it is no better then another gun that operates efficiently.
I dry fired it at a shop and was dumbfounded by how horrible the trigger was. It sounded like a cartoon, the spring made a boy-ing noise. The clerk said it wasn't bad lol
MY DR920 WARPOET WITH HOLOSUN 507 & SHADOW COMP IS SOME OF THE BEST MONEY I'VE SPENT. 2ND BEST MONEYVIS PRACTICE, 5,000 ROUNDS IN 1.5 YEARS NOT ONE ISSUE. THE SHADOW SUPPRESOR IS NEXT
The trigger does break in very nicely after shooting a few hundred rounds. I've got around 850rnds through my mr920 elite. The biggest + over the glock besides ergonomics to me anyways is the optic mounting system that you can direct mount your optic to and still get a decent co witness with your irons. No plates to have to fool around with. If anything this would be better compared to the glock mos series. For me I love mine enough that I also bought the smaller cr920 which has been excellent for better concealment without printing. I like glocks but me and their ergonomics don't get along.
This needs to be higher. My mr920 combat trigger has broken in nicely. Takes Glock mags, Glock holsters, and gen 3 Glock parts. Feels great especially with the small grip strap. It gets rid of the hump for a “1911” angle (kind of bogus but feels great even with long ass hands). The ergonomics are great. The only malfunction I had was related to a pmag. Red dot mounting is probably the best out there.
1:55 / 10:24 "Is This A Better Glock? "....that's actually pretty funny. Aat the risk(pleasure) of offending all the Glock fan-boys, almost every clone of the Glock has better features, i.e., is better. From changing the goofy Glock grip angle to accessories and mods that Glock should be putting on their pistols from the factory. Anytime you need to add to or modify a factory pistol to get what you wanted in the first place, it's lacking, therefore everything else offered that addresses those needs is better. They're like Ruger 10-22's, a very mediocre firearm from the factory that compels one to change immediately to attain the desired shootability. I love my 10-22, it's a far cry from the factory heavy-trigger, ammunition sensitive original, doubling in costs to get there. That's Glock in a nutshell. Sure, I'd take a Glock...as a gift (good trade material). Their reliability is they're greatest selling point, these days, that's a common attribute among a vast selection, so meh, pick something that has what you want/need at a significantly lower price.
I drop Agency Arms triggers in all my Glocks and it's perfection to me. This gun here looks cool but a bad trigger? A trigger worse then a stock Glock trigger? Thats a little strange to say the least.
@stevelacombe5291 it smooths out nicely after a few hundred rounds and or some dry fire. That being said for those who never give it a chance they do take aftermarket triggers made for the gen 4 glocks. Shadow systems makes some of their own as well since they made aftermarket glock parts before they made full guns.
I enjoy Hickcocks reviews, but he spends a good deal of time criticizing the Shadow Systems trigger, but he fails to mention whether or not the Shadow Systems triggers can be upgraded? After all, half the people that buy Glocks end up replacing the stock triggers. In fact, even Glock has come out with their own upgraded trigger to replace their substandard stock triggers.
@@coleguitar2233 Owned several over the years, not a fan of any particular semi auto pistol. only pistols still in my collection are a 1911, Luger, Broom Handle Mauser. Astra 400. and first issue Remington Model 51. Every other handgun I own is a revolver.
I think H does it to make sure no "surprises" or rounds are in the pipe 💥 . Not all semi autos have loaded chamber indicators or magazine safety features.
@@DavidLLambertmobile He'll do it sometimes and then a minute later he'll do it again and again. It's not checking it to make sure it's loaded. Ive seen other guys do it too. I saw a guy holding a shotgun talking about it and he must have racked it at least a dozen times. I'm just curious why some guys do that.
All Glock style pistols have horrible triggers as they are designed for self defense not sport shooting. CZ, Canik, and SAR have figured out how to put great shooting triggers on their pistols.

I still enjoy watching you shoot. I'm glad you are back in the saddle again.
I'll tolerate a lot of bad things from a trigger except being long.
Not worth it.

You can tell Hickok just loves a Glock 😂😂
Honest about shadow . Good on you.
It never ceases to amaze me how to you get your pistol on target despite moving from and the distance to the target!!👍👏
Constant practice including dry firing. He competed in USPSA too. Learning to shoot on the move is a big thing everybody needs to learn.

Well these actually cost more than glocks.

After watching H45 on his shooting range has made me realize I need to practice 😊
Trigger is a common complaint with SS pistols. I'd probably get one if they straightened it out. Everything else looks great.
Great video. Can you please review the Roger RXM?
The threaded barrel would be a no go for us Californian
We need some palmetto state armory videos! They’re pumping out nice stuff and would love feedback on their dagger, GF5 akm, M4

An OEM Glock - connector is the way to go. I never understood why people waste money on aftermarket Glock parts with the exception of sights.
Glock19 excellent I owned a glock 34 4th Generation sold it 4 months
Thanks and good morning from down island
Love my MR920
I want at least one of every gun ever made, I only carry Glock 😉

that price point you could get two daggers and ammo and mags

Are you ever going to retire ? Because if you do you better give a two week notice not just disappear on us
Hickok can you do a video about a Beretta Apex A1 full size chambered in 9 mm
Let’s get the Accuracy X Glock reviewed now….
I look this gun up hell no the price higher then a glock
I drop Agency Arms triggers in all my Glocks and it's perfection to me. This gun here looks cool but a bad trigger? A trigger worse then a stock Glock trigger? Thats a little strange to say the least.
Great shooter!
Can a switch go onto a psa dagger
I want the advanced innovative version that doesn't need cartridges chambered to fire.
Recoil would be smoother.
Make mine in the forty watt range.
Wait for next restrictions...
They just shoot straight from the magazine
Springfield already made one.
Or several.
About to put a lot of money in psa items including the dagger
lol one handed better than me

Gucci Glocks make no sense... to me
Will there be a Pumkin Carving t-shirt offered for 2024 available? How do I order?

If it’s not glowing Orange ! Must not be hot ? If you bought it from a car trunk shop , might be Hot ?
Shadow Systems triggers are way better than Any Glock out there. You must of gotten a bad one
I hate guns that dont load themselves.
Does it make any sense to get a Glock 17 now the Glock 47 being sold.
Seems like it shouldn’t be too difficult to smooth out that trigger or someone will start making an aftermarket drop in.

Not a huge fan of it. If it's not broken don't fix it, glocks never done me wrong
