G23 is an awesome pistol and I have 9mm, 357 SIG conversion barrels. It would be the last pistol I would sell. Very versatile and reliable kinda hard to beat.
@@tarrelljones7259I read on the internet a Glock polymer frame is only reliable for 20 years since it is plastic polymer if you want longevity you should probably stick with a 1911.
G26 would be my last glock to sell simply because it hardly prints when carrying and is A great edc pistol. The main thing I like about the 26 is it can take A 10 round magazine and all the way up to the 33 round fun stick. Or even if so desired A drum mag. Also I have had an FFL for the last 26 years.
The Glock 23 was the first Glock handgun that I owned. I had to be a rebel from the 9mm crowd at the time. It’s a great shooting handgun and I really don’t mind shooting 0.40 cal at the range from time to time. I think lm going to keep.
I also loved the G23 and I opted to carry the exact caliber which was being used by my local PD. As time went on I got smarter and stuck with nato caliber firearms.
Glock 26 gen 5. Choosing it over my 19, 19x, 23, and 43x. Mainly because it shoots better than any micro (flat shooting and lightning fast follow up shots), and prints less. Built like a tank. Shoots like a full size. With proper grip mechanics and time on Glocks, the flush mag is very easy to shoot. I bought all the extensions, and have come back full circle to the flush mags. You can make the 26 bigger, but can’t make the full size Glocks smaller. There are grandmaster shooters that shoot w/ a Glock 26.
All glocks run flawlessly until the users start replacing parts. Use it for what it is, a duty gun meant to fire every time the trigger is pulled. I’ve used one for the last 17 years of my career. We started with a G22, then a G17 and have recently gone with the G45. No complaints
The G23 and G19 gen5’s are the two I would never sell. The G23 gen5 slide built specifically for the 40 S&W cartridge, nicely beveled inward to the frame.
yep - hate to be that guy but agree 100%. my G19 G5 is hands down the best handgun i own & trust whenever i pick it up. the confidence that i feel when i grab this weapon is all that matters. i shoot it better than any other weapon i have or my friends weapons that i've shot. and...its also my SHTF carry weapon. hate all you want. its just a damn good gun.
Have a 23, 21, and a 21SF. I fell in love with the 21SF the minute I gripped it. A cop friend of mine recommended it when his dept switched over to the 21SF. Its grip is awesome and fires like a lower caliber weapon. Lighter than the standard 21. I'll never get rid of that one. I ike my 23 for EDC and at least out in Nor Cal .40 cal ammo is easier to come by and cheaper than the 9
My Glock 48 is the last Glock in my collection that I would sell. It’s taken a long time and a lot of work, but now I got it perfect for me. Thank you for the video.
Coincidentally enough, I just let my G48 go. It's the only Glock I've ever let go. The G48 for me was my first Glock but it sat in a weird place as it was too big for EDC imo (G43 and G26), and it doesnt share mags like other 9mm Glocks like the G19 and G19x. I can just leave double stack mags in the car for the range and take any double stack Glock versus the G48 having it's own mags. The only 15 round mags for the G48 are aftermarket, Glock mags being only 10 rounds. G48 weighs almost as much as the G19 but it's much snappier
@@jackmemphis777 my friend edc’s a Glock 48 and I said the exact same thing to him, same thing with my friend that edc’s his 43x (although I think the G43x is a better firearm despite both being “unique” to say the least. My issue with the G48 is literally what you said and that it only has its own mags, either that or the after market (like ETS which surprisingly runs smooth on single stack guns, and ProMag; which I can’t really give it anything other than it being after market. There really is no diversity amongst the G48 other than it being bigger than the most popular conceal carry Glocks (26,43x) and that just turns me away from the gun. I’d still take it over nothing but other than that….eh.
I've tried my best to love the 19. Still have one. But it prints like a full size, has a cramped grip and holds less rounds. It's the first one I would sell. The 45 and 26 are keepers. Would love Glock to put a 19 slide on a 26 grip and include some mag sleeves in the box. You know, something S&W has been doing for decades.
G45 is the one that feels the best to me. I enjoy shooting this. My best shooter in the Glock world. Next keepers would be G19.3, G48, G43x. Carried the 26.3 for decades, but I’d carry the 43x over the 26 today.
I know it comes to personal preference but I have to say I’m always surprised how many people don’t like the finger grooves. I absolutely love them. Again personal preference and hand size and all that just speaking for me. But I have a 48mos witch doesn’t have them and I think it’s really comfortable as well.
I really like my Glock 42. Perfect size/weight to throw into a kydex pocket holster to have something on me around the house, walking the dog at night, and just a joy to shoot. It’s definitely the lightest perceived recoil defensive handgun I’ve ever shot. I don’t get it to the range as often as I take my G48 or bigger 9s, and every time I do it’s a good time. Only thing easier is my Ruger Mk4 22/45, and it’s like a big 1911 that shoots an itty bitty round. But yeah, I definitely carry a second mag with a +1 Pearce baseplate as a backup magazine.
Amen to that. I love my Glock 42 (and my Glock 43X). Upgraded the G42 mags with a mag plate extension to improve the grip and add two extra rounds. Love it!
I have an early Gen 3 Glock G22 and absolutely love it. I got it as a barely used LE trade in with 5 mags for very reasonable. I did however buy a couple conversion barrels for it in 357 Sig and in 9mm just in case we have the issues we did a few years back finding specific calibers.
Having very large hands, my G21 series are my edc pieces. I have a gen 3, a compensated gen 3, and a gen 4. I love the 13+1 capacity in a large caliber and full frame. I've had the G23 and I really liked it as well, but reluctantly sold it many years ago. My wife carries a G43X MOS and my 15 year old son has a G44. The G44 is a fun one at the range.
@@carti2833 obviously he didn't go and buy it himself. I bought it in a private sale and I told him that it's his for when we go to the range. Once he turns 18, it's legally his anyway.
Six Glocks I just had to own: 23 gen5, 20 gen4, 29 gen4, 40 gen4, 43X, and 19 gen5. All with McNally trigger assemblies and Ameriglo sights. 10mm’s with Alpha Wolf barrels.
Same. People like this make me laugh. Well by your logic, with all the modern day ballistics, yes the 9mm is a phenomal round, but that has also been done to the .40SW and .45acp... Stuuuuupid
Well the gen 2 grips suck. Now gen 5 to gen 3 is night and day. Better trigger, better mag release, front slide serrations, ambi slide release, MOS cut. I edc carry a Glock 45. It’s outstanding!
@@jetspeed9618 I hate the front slide serrations. Never needed them to do the very rare press check and I think they look ugly as hell. Also not gonna put a red dot on it so don’t care about the MOS.
I have to disagree about the 23. It was my duty gun, so I was always comfortable shooting it. I bought my own after I retired, and carry it on cold winter days when everybody's wearing heavy clothing. In those conditions, I think it still offers an advantage over 9mm.
My duty weapon up until retirement was a G22 gen4. Unfortunately, a texting driver changed my life forever. I could no longer retract the slide on my G22. I recently replaced it with a brand new G17 gen3, and the single recoil spring enables to retract the slide. The only advantage the 9mm has over the 40 is the cost of ammo, and I believe that is the main reason for the change over in calibers.
When the dust settles, the 19s continue to survive. By far, my favorite 19s are the Gen 2s. They lack all the silly "features" of the later generations, especially the thumb shelf. It seems like each generation adds more gimmicks but a high mileage Gen 2 is a sweetheart.
I want the 23. Yeah yeah, 9mm bla bla. Get a 9mm barrel and have 9mm and .40. It might not be true, but a gun that has a bigger hole in the barrel just makes me happy. I guess it's just Merica 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
The Glock I would never sell and choose if I could have only one is the Gen 5 Glock 20 10mm. Its an amazing firearm. Works for personal, home, and large game defense. Can shoot 10mm and .40 cal. Lots of ammo options. Accurate. Versatile. Powerful. Nearly indestructible. Great firearm.
I agree with you my G19 Gen5 is my most trusted pistol. Mines the one with the weird little half circle notch at the bottom but I ordered different base plates for my magazines to fill it in. Mines 100% stock besides the magazine base plates and I've had it since 2018 when I purchased it when I got my CCL. I did just pick up a 43x yet to shoot it but my G19 is definitely going to be a lifer with me.
I agree. A .40 will always do more damage than a 9mm. People forget that while 9mm was being improved, so were all the other calibers, like the 9s older bro, the .40, and his older bro, the .45😂 Capacity doesn't really make a difference when talking .40 vs 9 as well. 15 rounds of .40 and another backup 15rd mag is more than enough for edc. Unless you live in Chicago, then I'd say just walk around in a juggernaut suit with a m240
I dont own a glock....hell, I've never even shot one. They don't feel "right" when I pick them up......but for some reason I AM tempted to get one. If I did, it'd be the G19....
I loved my Sigg C3 19 1145 ACP until I pinched him bloodied my finger at the range with it. When I inserted a new magazine, I decided I didn’t need this gun if it was gonna hurt me ,I sold it and I got the g20 gen 4 inserting the Meg doesn’t even come close to pinching my finger kinda hard to hold onto a 1911 when your hand is bloody
I do and I have actually seen comments on other videos that some have had the same experience. It may just be perfect for my hands, but I definitely shoot it better.
In my opinion I think the Glock 34 Gen 5 is the best one made. It's extremely accurate is a little longer than the 19 wich gives it its accuracy. Great video Thanks!
I’d take a 40 cal Glock over a 9mm all day. Very versatile platform that can easily shoot 9mm. In a pinch that alone makes it worth getting the “lesser” desired Glock in 40.
Have owned 2 a G36 and a G48. Carried the 36 untill S&W came out with the Shield in 45 ACP. My other Glock is a 48. Great shooter. Slim, carries well accurate. Got a good deal on it. Used came with TFX sights, Vickers flat face trigger, and a metal guide rod and sping, 1 stock mag and a 15 rd mag by PSA. LGS had it for sale for a while. He says people either love them or hate them(G48). Well carry what you want it's working for me. So far the 15 rd mag has been 100% reliable. Bought 2 factoy mags. My try 1 more PSA mag I dont feel that 10 rds are not enough. But 15 rds in a pistol that size is awesome. Would not hesitate to pick up a gen 3 G19 either. Wouldn't mind a new G36 for S&G's Glocks are reliable and accurate. Just love my CZ 75B Omega more. Thr Sheild + is my summer carry. Now i have a Fall/Winter carry.
My order from sell(1) to keep(8) in my Glock collection #1 / 43 FDE- to small for me #2 / 43X-feels good, but love my MOS better #3 / 48 MOS-like it, but prefer more mag capacity #4 / 43X MOS-favorite during summer months #5 / G26 Gen 3 # 6 / G42-favorite light easy carry for those walks or jogs #7 / 19X-feels awesome, but slightly difficult for me to EDC without printing AIWB, but is my #1 OWB carry pistol #8 / G19 Gen 5 MOS-my BABY
For me. I'd keep the Glock 19 Gen 5! The G19 Gen 3 was uncomfortable for me after a while while my brother's G19 Gen 5 was comfortable, making me VERY ACCURATE with it.
My first Glock was a G17.2 which now is a safe queen. The G19.5 was sold and replaced by a CZ P-10C. More real estate for my XL hands. I would sell my G48 but keep my G45. That grip works for me! 17+1 rnds is a nice feature too. 😉
My carry is a P-10C all stock. My Gen3 G19 is too built up as I bought the frame and proceeded to use more Gucci stuff, plus I shoot my P-10’s better (C tactical w/Norsso & RMR, F w/509T direct milled).
I'll never sell my G19X/$179 Dagger SW4 Complete Upper Beast! Fits like a 1911, zero wiggle between the upper & lower, she's snug, an OW Precision TAC Trigger, 3lb connector, Polished, threaded barrel, suppressor sights, G-Sap Gap Adapter, Master Trigger Spring Kit, 15lb Recoil spring, HE407c x2 Green 2moa dot. 2.7lb short pull w/ a forced short reset. Now I have 2 slides. Stock open sights & the Dagger GatorMouth Cut Complete Upper. I was having failure to eject issues but the 15lb recoil spring fixed that! The 17lb recoil spring was kind of flopping the spent rounds out & it was slow. The 15lb is perfect for those looking to do this, just swap out backplates. Gen 4-5 Dagger Uppers will fit. My #1 carry gun everywhere I go in Texas.
Was my G19 gen 3 until I got the G19 gen 5 mos/fs. I love the front serrations and although I’ve tried both the Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro for conceal ability, I always come back to this pistol.
I only have the Gen 4 G19 and the 43x. I think I'd have to stick with the 19. I give them both a lot of grief (and rightfully so), but a Glock 19 is a great home defense option to have. It's just not the powerhouse for concealed carry that everyone claims it is.
Interesting video. I have the G17, G19, G26, G45, G43X. I love the 43X. But the last one I would sell is the G45. I really like that gun a lot. Perfect balance, shoots great, just love it too. I'm planning on selling my G19 Gen 4 as soon as I get a buyer. No reason to have it now with the G45.
Shoot, come to Missouri where we let 13 year old's walk around with concealed guns and 30 round mags. It's ridiculous! (I sold my G19 Gen 4 now I want a G19 Gen 5.) It never ends!!!@@yogevbarshavit
Just got my first Glock(s) this week. Always been a Springfield guy when it comes to polymer pistols, but I am sick of them constantly updating with no backwards compatibility. Couldn't decide between a 17, 19 and 45, so ended up buying a Gen 5 19 and 47, four configurations for the price of two. Can already tell I want a 45, and I haven't even been to the range yet. Haha
Love my G23, never had a malfunction since I bought it in January 2012, it’s been a G32 with a barrel swap, in 357 Sig! Can alter it to be a 9mm also.. I’ve owned 2 G19s one left, I bought my G26 the day Paul walker died, it looks like yours, over 2k rounds, never had a malfunction out of my Glocks I have now.” Also have the M&P shield in 9mm.. great gun also
My favorite Glock is Gen5 Glock 45 mos (with Ameriglo Haven Red Dot Streamlight TRL 1 HL and tall suppressor height iron sights) it's my favorite gun hands down. I will say the the Gen 5 Glock 20 Mos is a definite second place.
I own them all every caliber atleast and the new g21 gen 5 is the smoothest shooting Glock I’ve ever fired. Trigger is amazing too. My favorite for CC is definitely a 43x
My EDC is the Glock 43x. I love it for its weight and slim fit. My full size hunting side arm is the Glock 22 with Amerigo night sights. Buffalo Bore 40S&W p+ hunting rounds are a great option in bear country. To each their own. I do agree if someone only has money to buy 1 Glock, I would definitely recommend the Glock 19. You can't go wrong with the 19, a bit heavy for EDC, and superb for home defense. Would I make 9mm a woods gun??? Probably not. I'll stick to 40S&W p+ hunting ammo. As for as the Glock.380acp, I'm totally with you on the higher capacity future upgrade by Glock. Great video!!!
Honestly my gen3 17, now I own the 19, the 26, an the 23. all gen 3, but the 17 was my first and for me I love the feel over the 19. I’d love to try out other generations, but I live behind enemy lines in California lol.
I recently sold my G22 gen4 because of my grip strength issues from an injury. Luckily, they still make gen3 Glocks. The single recoil spring enables me to pull the slide back with ease. Not for nothing, but I don't see any of those hundreds of thousands of rounds endurance reports anymore, like with the Gen 2 and Gen 3 Glocks. In my opinion the G17 was the first, it's the original and best.
You're not really missing anything. All the "updates" have simply been gimmicks. When the first GEN 5s came out they were pretty much shiny GEN 2s. Personally, I enjoy my GEN 2 and 3 19s, but my later ones sit in the safe.
I had to get the 19 mos gen 5. Shoots like a dream and feels amazing . But at the same time. I don’t care what anyone’s says. I love my Glock 43 lol. It’s a fun gun to shoot and to conceal carry
I just bought a gen5 19m and I love it. Granted it's my first gun but it just seemed like the best choice. My friend just bought the canik blue bomber 9mm and first run with it he had issues. I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick with glock and with all the different models I'm sure I'll never get bored with them.
I have the same Glock 19 Gen5 9mm. It's my favorite. Also Glock 19X 9mm. Super awesome. And G30 SF .45 ACP Canik Mete MC9 9mm. Windicator .357 Magnum 2" snubnose blue steel revolver. ATI AR-15 Mossberg 500 12Ga. Tactical SDS 12Ga. Remington 770 .308win.
Good morning. That was a very insightful video. I agree with your choice of the G19 Gen 5. I own one as well. I also own a Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS. I saw that you are not a fan of the .40 S&W but I absolutely love my G23. I moved to the G23 as my EDC. I gladly gave up the two additional rounds that the G19 gave me to have the additional power of the .40 caliber round. I know what people say about the advanced ballistics of the 9mm but the .40 is comparable to a .45 ACP as far as muzzle energy and you get almost twice the capacity of the average 1911 in 45 ACP. I don’t know if you have ever fired the Gen 5 version of the G23, but it has a thicker and heavier slide than the previous version. This reduces felt recoil quite a bit. I find the recoil of the G23 Gen 5 only slightly more intense than the G19. However, the G23 is quite a bit heavier. It took me a while to get used to the extra weight. Of course the ammunition is heavier as well. Finding a good holster that is optics compatible has been next to impossible. Ordinarily, I would still say that my G19 is the last gun I would sell, but I am torn. The G19 was a gift from my wife, but the G23 has a serial number that matches my child’s birthday. I guess my choice would still he the G19 though.
I’m actually down to my last Glock the 19x. I shoot it very well and trust the thing to run every time I pick it up. It’s mainly regulated to home defense and range duty but well I’m not sure if I’ll ever sell it to be honest.
@@truthfulpatriot9129 I don’t necessarily agree about the 43x simply because there are some better options w/higher capacity and easier concealment but it is a very trustworthy albeit unimaginative weapon. That 19x though….well most Glock are super reliable. I do prefer Smith so I am a bit biased.
@@truthfulpatriot9129 everyone in our 2A community has their favorites and in support of Glock fans I definitely agree that they have a long proven track record of reliability and with the newer barrels, accuracy too. One of the reasons I like the 19x is because of the upgraded Marksman barrel design. Very accurate and I believe the 43x has a similar one in it but I am not completely certain of that claim. You would probably know better than I about the 43x
I love glocks over any other manufacturer. I can shoot consistent tight groupings with my g17 with the ghost connector. Recently built a g19 Gen. 5 mos with an rmr and glock performance trigger is a sweet shooter now for a glock.
Disagree about 40 cal Glocks the Glock 27 is one of my favorites. I actually carry it as a Glock 33 357 sig while I am on Church security I practice with 40 and carry 357 sig. They both shoot to the same area. I'm a better shot with more recoil. A buddy of mine says that's because I grew up shooting 12 gauge shotguns. I have a gen 5 G19 and a 43x as well as a 19x, a g26, g27, I like them all.
I have had several Glocks and got rid of them only to buy a Glock 19X which I could have went Glock 45MOS as well since they are essentially the same. I really like that size. All others so long. My brother on the other hand has them all to include the 357 Sig which is his go to carry.
I also just sold my Glock 23 and 27. I have a Glock 48 with a RFX 11 green dot that is out of this world accurate together with the PSA daggers 15 rounders that’s my last Glock I would sell.
I enjoy and like my 19 but I'm going to have to stick with my 43x and 27 for everyday carry. The 43x to me just fits so nicely in my hand also very easy to draw and I'm finally now becoming quite accurate with it 👍
@@Alex-jo2oi I have both and the p365 will be the better option truly. The mag capacity is 10,12,15 and 17 even. With a better sight and trigger you can make the gun a home defense gun and or a small concealable gun just by the mags.
I have a gen 4 G19, three police trade in gen 3's, a g43, a g43x, and a G21. I am keeping them all. I like them. The G43 for those times I must wear a suit. Conceals great. The g43x has become my summer gun, and the G19 my winter gun. The g21? I just like plinking with it.
I have the 42, 43X, Gen 3 19, and the 19X. That 19X is something else and I’m more of a Sig guy. The last gun I would sell would be my 229 Legion or the 19X. I think I need the 45 from everything I’ve seen about it and with how much I love my 19X. Time to go shopping .. 😬
I’m with you Glock 19 gen 5. I upgraded the trigger and recoil spring. I love the gun. I have a 43x as well with an upgraded trigger, but I like the 15+1 I get with the 19. The 19 gen 5 feels perfect in my hands.
Gen 5 19 for concealed carry, but Gen 5 17 all day for duty and home defense. Though I feel that Glock could have made the grip of the 19 a bit longer. I guess I got used to the grip on the 17, that when I go carry the 19, it’s a big difference in feel. Overall, Glock is a very reliable handgun.
The only Glock I've ever owned, was G48. I recently sold it because I never carried it after I got a shield plus... then I studied ballistics and talked to multiple trauma center medical professionals in my area, and they pretty much agreed that 9mm is not an effective stopping round. Based on their experience, guys who came in shot up with 9 mm were generally running their mouths about retribution against the guys that shot them... guys shit by 45 ACP, generally were unconscious from blood loss or were already DOA. I got very similar feedback from most trauma center professionals... one surgeon is quoted by Sgt 1911, as stating "rarely have I lost a patient to 9 mm, and I've only saved one from 45 ACP".
At the other end of the spectrum, my nephew was shot in the chest with a .22 LR at point blank range and died before the ambulance arrived. I'm not doubting the 45 is a more capable round, but even a BB gun can be lethal in the right (or wrong) hands.
Did these professionals all quote that the point of impact occurred high center chest or the head for 9mm? The results of gangbangers getting shot (which is quite often) can also vary on the ammo which is also likely to be FMJ and not proper defensive ammo. There's a lot of omitting details here to make this definitive. Even the Feds put a ballistic report that +p+ 9mm can hang with 45acp. Plus it's hard to say that departments issuing 9mm would be ecstatic to all of a sudden find out all of their shooting incidents for survivability meant retribution...sounds more like gang activities.
@@762x69 coming from a law enforcement background, I can tell you that government spending is the primary consideration... 9 mm is the chosen round, because it is cheaper than 40 S&W. FBI statistics don't impress me. The reason 45 ACP was selected originally was because those conducting the testing, discovered that a 45 caliber slug, was capable of putting down a live steer with one shot, amongst other damage testing. Sgt York put down 6 German soldiers who were attacking him with one shot each from his 1911... no such stories from history, involving 9 mm. If you need a weak round to shoot accurately, then 9 mm is better than most... but it is not an effective round, until you fire it from a 16 inch barrel... then it has the same ballistics as the king of one shot stops, 357 magnum... otherwise it is an adequate round, if well placed, but generally not very effective for terminal damage.
None. Every Glock I sold I regretted and ended up buying another one to replace it. When I sold my SIGs and SA HC/HCP/XDMs, no regrets and still haven't bought any replacements.
Glock= crappy sights, crappy trigger, but always goes bang. Over the years I found much better options in carry pistols. Recently I’ve been getting rid of all my Glocks as I don’t shoot them much anymore. The only one I’ll keep is the 26 which is not a bad concealed carry gun.
The Glock 23.3 is the overall most versatile "keeper" of all Glocks, IMO. A simple grip reduction eliminates the finger grooves. From there, it can quickly convert to either 9mm or 357 Sig. All 40 cal Glocks have that capability. 3 guns in one. The 40 cal magazine works perfectly for 357 Sig. For the 9mm conversion, we have to use 9mm mags. The conversion barrels are easy to find, and not too expensive, considering the versatility we get. G23 is the keeper in this book.
I have a M19 9mm generation 2 which I've had since new in 1996, later in 2001 I bought a M27 .40 generation 3. I liked the M27 from the start and spent a lot of time back then switching back and forth between the .40 and a .357 sig M33 factory barrel, but since those days ammunition sky rocked and 9mm is plentiful and cheap so after I was finally able to finally win the right to concealed carry battle in Maryland and obtain my CCW I converted the M27 to a M26 using a Glock store Double Diamond 9mm conversion barrel & standard M26 mags and I have been amazingly more accurate with it than my M19. I recently thought that after shooting 1000's of 9mm rounds through my M19 maybe it's time to replace & upgrade it with a standard Double Diamond 9mm barrel too, but since having rotator cuff surgery recently I haven't been able to do an accuracy comparison between them, maybe sometime in 2024.
My first handgun was a G17 Gen 4, loved it. Then of course other guns caught my eye. Then I fell into the milsurp world, that took up my attention and hobby. I've shot 1911s, Hi Powers, the FN old school and Springfield's Hi Power, Sig M17s, S& W MPs, Glock's 19x, Sig 226s. But every time I decided I needed a CC gun I went with Glocks. After a little hiatus on shooting the sport. I'm back looking at getting a Glock. I like the Gen 5 19-- owned 1 at one time, just saw a Gen 5 21 at a local gun shop--- if only I could get both lol.
Gen 5 is for law enforcement only in my state gen 4 is discontinued so gen 3 is my only option Is there anything that’s better and newer than gen 3 g19 ?
I have one Glock. 19x. Have rotated through many smaller carry guns and always come back to the 19x. Easier to draw, easier to rack, easier to get rounds on target, comfortable to carry, and to date the only pistol I have shot at the range where it occurred to me driving home that how it felt in my hand was something I never noticed. Other guns I have I have always been conscious of the snap and recoil.
I have G30 SF as well. Good gun .45 auto But I truly HATE that protruding viciously sharp mag release button so much! I hate it, hate it, hate it! 😆 Not to mention the stubborn slide release is ridiculously hard on my thumb. Any issues with the aforementioned?
@@wernerschwanert6281 i got the g30sf, i prefer the small mag release, but I abhor the finger extension, i feel like they decided to make it a subcompact and changed their mind at the last minute. I wish they made it the same size as the glock 19, I don't mind it being the wide frame but i should be able to get all 3 fingers on the handle and still have 10 rounds. great gun but that's my one issue. A four inch barrel would be better too for expansion of hollow points
43x great conceal carry. I simply replaced the sights . I love 22 despite this guys opinion… I bought gen 5 after having gen 1 for many years…. I shoot it well so whatever you like… to each his own. Looking to get G29 … Change my mind.
don’t want to change your mind on the 29 but….consider the 20 if you haven’t already. I have both. The 20 is more pleasant to shoot for me at least. Don’t get me wrong I love the 29 and with pearce grip extension I can basically get a full grip but still I am a lot faster and just have more fun with the 20 over the 29. get the 29 first and then get the 20 lol just get both and then some underwood ammo. Obviously all my opinion but the Glock 20 is a blast to shoot no pun intended and any of my friends that have shot it were surprised at just how comfortable it felt in the hand and how easy it was to shoot. Can’t go wrong with either
I have a G19.3, a G45, G21.4, two G42s and a G43X. My 43X is my EDC and is exactly what I want in a carry pistol. I do use a G42 with a pocket holster for just going out to walk dogs or whatever but my primary is the 43X (with S15 mags, I know, I don't care)

G23 is an awesome pistol and I have 9mm, 357 SIG conversion barrels. It would be the last pistol I would sell. Very versatile and reliable kinda hard to beat.
thats a solid set up
G23, gen 2. Over 26 years old. Still in perfect condition. Got a 9mm conversion barrel and .22lr kit many years ago. All bases covered.
Can't go wrong with gen2
@@tarrelljones7259I read on the internet a Glock polymer frame is only reliable for 20 years since it is plastic polymer if you want longevity you should probably stick with a 1911.
G26 would be my last glock to sell simply because it hardly prints when carrying and is A great edc pistol. The main thing I like about the 26 is it can take A 10 round magazine and all the way up to the 33 round fun stick. Or even if so desired A drum mag. Also I have had an FFL for the last 26 years.
100% agree
Yup, I second that. I carry a g26 with the 10 rd mag and a g19 mag in my back pocket.
That grip just too little for me
Add Pearce grip

The Glock 23 was the first Glock handgun that I owned. I had to be a rebel from the 9mm crowd at the time. It’s a great shooting handgun and I really don’t mind shooting 0.40 cal at the range from time to time. I think lm going to keep.
I converted mine to 9mm.
I also loved the G23 and I opted to carry the exact caliber which was being used by my local PD. As time went on I got smarter and stuck with nato caliber firearms.
A g23 was my first Glock also
My Glock 19 Gen 2. Been carrying it for the last 29 years! NYPD vintage.
I have 4 Glocks and I would not sell my G23 gen 3. I bought that in 2008. Love it
Glock 26 gen 5. Choosing it over my 19, 19x, 23, and 43x. Mainly because it shoots better than any micro (flat shooting and lightning fast follow up shots), and prints less. Built like a tank. Shoots like a full size. With proper grip mechanics and time on Glocks, the flush mag is very easy to shoot. I bought all the extensions, and have come back full circle to the flush mags. You can make the 26 bigger, but can’t make the full size Glocks smaller. There are grandmaster shooters that shoot w/ a Glock 26.
All glocks run flawlessly until the users start replacing parts. Use it for what it is, a duty gun meant to fire every time the trigger is pulled. I’ve used one for the last 17 years of my career. We started with a G22, then a G17 and have recently gone with the G45. No complaints
I have had my Glock 17 Gen2, since 1991. I have shot thousands of rounds without one issue. I use Federal HST
How did he not have a 17 😢
The G23 and G19 gen5’s are the two I would never sell. The G23 gen5 slide built specifically for the 40 S&W cartridge, nicely beveled inward to the frame.
yep - hate to be that guy but agree 100%. my G19 G5 is hands down the best handgun i own & trust whenever i pick it up. the confidence that i feel when i grab this weapon is all that matters. i shoot it better than any other weapon i have or my friends weapons that i've shot. and...its also my SHTF carry weapon. hate all you want. its just a damn good gun.
Steve it is a allsome gun 19 one best ever my grandson has one I have the 43x allso keep cleaned oiled and Glocks run four ever good shooting rick
Have a 23, 21, and a 21SF. I fell in love with the 21SF the minute I gripped it. A cop friend of mine recommended it when his dept switched over to the 21SF. Its grip is awesome and fires like a lower caliber weapon. Lighter than the standard 21. I'll never get rid of that one. I ike my 23 for EDC and at least out in Nor Cal .40 cal ammo is easier to come by and cheaper than the 9
My 31 year old Gen 2 19. Still my CCW and still shoots true.
My Glock 48 is the last Glock in my collection that I would sell. It’s taken a long time and a lot of work, but now I got it perfect for me. Thank you for the video.
Coincidentally enough, I just let my G48 go. It's the only Glock I've ever let go. The G48 for me was my first Glock but it sat in a weird place as it was too big for EDC imo (G43 and G26), and it doesnt share mags like other 9mm Glocks like the G19 and G19x. I can just leave double stack mags in the car for the range and take any double stack Glock versus the G48 having it's own mags. The only 15 round mags for the G48 are aftermarket, Glock mags being only 10 rounds. G48 weighs almost as much as the G19 but it's much snappier
@@jackmemphis777 my friend edc’s a Glock 48 and I said the exact same thing to him, same thing with my friend that edc’s his 43x (although I think the G43x is a better firearm despite both being “unique” to say the least. My issue with the G48 is literally what you said and that it only has its own mags, either that or the after market (like ETS which surprisingly runs smooth on single stack guns, and ProMag; which I can’t really give it anything other than it being after market. There really is no diversity amongst the G48 other than it being bigger than the most popular conceal carry Glocks (26,43x) and that just turns me away from the gun. I’d still take it over nothing but other than that….eh.
I’m thinking about selling my 48 so I can get a colt single action army, I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2
@@CornbreadFedOleSon I don't regret selling my 48. It's shit compared to the 19
@@jackmemphis777 yeah I agree, I can’t find a good conceal carry holster for it so it just sits in my drawer, I conceal a G23 and I get 5 more rounds
I've tried my best to love the 19. Still have one. But it prints like a full size, has a cramped grip and holds less rounds. It's the first one I would sell. The 45 and 26 are keepers. Would love Glock to put a 19 slide on a 26 grip and include some mag sleeves in the box. You know, something S&W has been doing for decades.
G45 is the one that feels the best to me. I enjoy shooting this. My best shooter in the Glock world.
Next keepers would be G19.3, G48, G43x.
Carried the 26.3 for decades, but I’d carry the 43x over the 26 today.
i only own the 45. and i love it. its a solid second to my CZ P09. those 2 i wouldn't sell
I know it comes to personal preference but I have to say I’m always surprised how many people don’t like the finger grooves. I absolutely love them. Again personal preference and hand size and all that just speaking for me. But I have a 48mos witch doesn’t have them and I think it’s really comfortable as well.
I really like my Glock 42. Perfect size/weight to throw into a kydex pocket holster to have something on me around the house, walking the dog at night, and just a joy to shoot. It’s definitely the lightest perceived recoil defensive handgun I’ve ever shot. I don’t get it to the range as often as I take my G48 or bigger 9s, and every time I do it’s a good time. Only thing easier is my Ruger Mk4 22/45, and it’s like a big 1911 that shoots an itty bitty round.
But yeah, I definitely carry a second mag with a +1 Pearce baseplate as a backup magazine.
Amen to that. I love my Glock 42 (and my Glock 43X). Upgraded the G42 mags with a mag plate extension to improve the grip and add two extra rounds. Love it!
I have an early Gen 3 Glock G22 and absolutely love it. I got it as a barely used LE trade in with 5 mags for very reasonable. I did however buy a couple conversion barrels for it in 357 Sig and in 9mm just in case we have the issues we did a few years back finding specific calibers.
great model, great generation
Where did you get the barrels from
@@JH-tu5pt I know that I bought one from eBay maybe both of them.
I always go back to my Glock 19 Gen 5. No more buying the latest greatest guns. I don't care if it prints it just works. keeping it stock.
Having very large hands, my G21 series are my edc pieces. I have a gen 3, a compensated gen 3, and a gen 4. I love the 13+1 capacity in a large caliber and full frame. I've had the G23 and I really liked it as well, but reluctantly sold it many years ago. My wife carries a G43X MOS and my 15 year old son has a G44. The G44 is a fun one at the range.
how’d you get ur 15 year old a handgun? Did u just purchase it and give it to him?
@@carti2833 obviously he didn't go and buy it himself. I bought it in a private sale and I told him that it's his for when we go to the range. Once he turns 18, it's legally his anyway.
I actually don’t mind the finger groove, it feels very comfortable in my hand
My G29 SF 10mm is the last Glock I would ever sell. It carries great and for me is fun to shoot.
Six Glocks I just had to own: 23 gen5, 20 gen4, 29 gen4, 40 gen4, 43X, and 19 gen5.
All with McNally trigger assemblies and Ameriglo sights. 10mm’s with Alpha Wolf barrels.
Tell us how you really feel about .40 S & W?? 😂😂😂
I love the .40 cal cartridge, and .45 ACP. I have no problem finding ammunition.
Same. People like this make me laugh. Well by your logic, with all the modern day ballistics, yes the 9mm is a phenomal round, but that has also been done to the .40SW and .45acp...
Stuuuuupid
The power of 9mm ,the recoil of 45 , and the cost of 10mm . 40sw really has all the boxes checked haha
@@kevmoful .40 has more power than .45
@@bobbybooshay5416 so does 9mm
I actually like the finger grooves on the 3rd and 4th Gen guns. I have a Gen 2 Glock 19 and the Gen 3 Glock 19 feels way better to me.
Well the gen 2 grips suck. Now gen 5 to gen 3 is night and day. Better trigger, better mag release, front slide serrations, ambi slide release, MOS cut. I edc carry a Glock 45. It’s outstanding!
@@jetspeed9618 I hate the front slide serrations. Never needed them to do the very rare press check and I think they look ugly as hell. Also not gonna put a red dot on it so don’t care about the MOS.
I have to disagree about the 23. It was my duty gun, so I was always comfortable shooting it. I bought my own after I retired, and carry it on cold winter days when everybody's wearing heavy clothing. In those conditions, I think it still offers an advantage over 9mm.
My duty weapon up until retirement was a G22 gen4. Unfortunately, a texting driver changed my life forever. I could no longer retract the slide on my G22. I recently replaced it with a brand new G17 gen3, and the single recoil spring enables to retract the slide. The only advantage the 9mm has over the 40 is the cost of ammo, and I believe that is the main reason for the change over in calibers.
the multiple FTF on the g23 in the video is a textbook lesson in not going crazy with pistol "upgrades"
Yup, more like downgrades.
When the dust settles, the 19s continue to survive. By far, my favorite 19s are the Gen 2s. They lack all the silly "features" of the later generations, especially the thumb shelf. It seems like each generation adds more gimmicks but a high mileage Gen 2 is a sweetheart.
gen 3 has the best finish
I want the 23. Yeah yeah, 9mm bla bla. Get a 9mm barrel and have 9mm and .40. It might not be true, but a gun that has a bigger hole in the barrel just makes me happy. I guess it's just Merica 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
G19 gen3 not much to look at but reliable AF
Nah! She’s a beauty!
I’d keep the G45 MOS. I absolutely love my 19X. But it lacks things that the 45 has. My G26 was also a runner up but it’s more of a CCW gun.
Can you elaborate on what the G45 has that the 19X doesn't? Thanks.
The Glock I would never sell and choose if I could have only one is the Gen 5 Glock 20 10mm. Its an amazing firearm. Works for personal, home, and large game defense. Can shoot 10mm and .40 cal. Lots of ammo options. Accurate. Versatile. Powerful. Nearly indestructible. Great firearm.
I agree with you my G19 Gen5 is my most trusted pistol. Mines the one with the weird little half circle notch at the bottom but I ordered different base plates for my magazines to fill it in. Mines 100% stock besides the magazine base plates and I've had it since 2018 when I purchased it when I got my CCL. I did just pick up a 43x yet to shoot it but my G19 is definitely going to be a lifer with me.
I have the G45,. I love it. I had sold it, but I bought it again.
My G23 Gen4 is my keeper ... 40s&w is a great caliber
I agree. A .40 will always do more damage than a 9mm.
People forget that while 9mm was being improved, so were all the other calibers, like the 9s older bro, the .40, and his older bro, the .45😂
Capacity doesn't really make a difference when talking .40 vs 9 as well. 15 rounds of .40 and another backup 15rd mag is more than enough for edc.
Unless you live in Chicago, then I'd say just walk around in a juggernaut suit with a m240
I just brought mine last week. I love it and did some great upgrades, but everybody has their own opinion.
I like the Gen 4 finger grooves. I’d sell the Gen 5 G19 and keep the gen 4.
That’s what I did I don’t regret it at all
I dont own a glock....hell, I've never even shot one. They don't feel "right" when I pick them up......but for some reason I AM tempted to get one. If I did, it'd be the G19....
I loved my Sigg C3 19 1145 ACP until I pinched him bloodied my finger at the range with it. When I inserted a new magazine, I decided I didn’t need this gun if it was gonna hurt me ,I sold it and I got the g20 gen 4 inserting the Meg doesn’t even come close to pinching my finger kinda hard to hold onto a 1911 when your hand is bloody
I would never sell my G26. IMO still the best carry/nightstand gun. I shoot it better than my G19 and you can’t beat the mag compatibility.
Wow you shoot it better than the 19?
I do and I have actually seen comments on other videos that some have had the same experience. It may just be perfect for my hands, but I definitely shoot it better.
I'm in the same camp. The shorter sight radius makes me personally more accurate.
In my opinion I think the Glock 34 Gen 5 is the best one made. It's extremely accurate is a little longer than the 19 wich gives it its accuracy. Great video Thanks!
I’d take a 40 cal Glock over a 9mm all day. Very versatile platform that can easily shoot 9mm. In a pinch that alone makes it worth getting the “lesser” desired Glock in 40.
Have owned 2 a G36 and a G48. Carried the 36 untill S&W came out with the Shield in 45 ACP. My other Glock is a 48. Great shooter. Slim, carries well accurate. Got a good deal on it. Used came with TFX sights, Vickers flat face trigger, and a metal guide rod and sping, 1 stock mag and a 15 rd mag by PSA. LGS had it for sale for a while. He says people either love them or hate them(G48). Well carry what you want it's working for me. So far the 15 rd mag has been 100% reliable. Bought 2 factoy mags. My try 1 more PSA mag I dont feel that 10 rds are not enough. But 15 rds in a pistol that size is awesome. Would not hesitate to pick up a gen 3 G19 either. Wouldn't mind a new G36 for S&G's Glocks are reliable and accurate. Just love my CZ 75B Omega more. Thr Sheild + is my summer carry. Now i have a Fall/Winter carry.
My order from sell(1) to keep(8) in my Glock collection

You’re a doggone genius Hegshot!! I also hate the 43x grip and went back to a 19 gen 5
Glocks should come standard with trijicon HD’s
For me. I'd keep the Glock 19 Gen 5! The G19 Gen 3 was uncomfortable for me after a while while my brother's G19 Gen 5 was comfortable, making me VERY ACCURATE with it.
My first Glock was a G17.2 which now is a safe queen. The G19.5 was sold and replaced by a CZ P-10C. More real estate for my XL hands. I would sell my G48 but keep my G45. That grip works for me! 17+1 rnds is a nice feature too. 😉
My carry is a P-10C all stock. My Gen3 G19 is too built up as I bought the frame and proceeded to use more Gucci stuff, plus I shoot my P-10’s better (C tactical w/Norsso & RMR, F w/509T direct milled).
Just bought my first...G19x.picking it up tomorrow. If i like it as much as i know i will,ill be picking up the g45 to keep it company.
I'll never sell my G19X/$179 Dagger SW4 Complete Upper Beast!
Fits like a 1911, zero wiggle between the upper & lower, she's snug, an OW Precision TAC Trigger, 3lb connector, Polished, threaded barrel, suppressor sights, G-Sap Gap Adapter, Master Trigger Spring Kit, 15lb Recoil spring, HE407c x2 Green 2moa dot.
2.7lb short pull w/ a forced short reset.
Now I have 2 slides. Stock open sights & the Dagger GatorMouth Cut Complete Upper.
I was having failure to eject issues but the 15lb recoil spring fixed that!
The 17lb recoil spring was kind of flopping the spent rounds out & it was slow.
The 15lb is perfect for those looking to do this, just swap out backplates. Gen 4-5 Dagger Uppers will fit.
My #1 carry gun everywhere I go in Texas.
Was my G19 gen 3 until I got the G19 gen 5 mos/fs. I love the front serrations and although I’ve tried both the Springfield Hellcat and Hellcat Pro for conceal ability, I always come back to this pistol.
I only have the Gen 4 G19 and the 43x. I think I'd have to stick with the 19. I give them both a lot of grief (and rightfully so), but a Glock 19 is a great home defense option to have. It's just not the powerhouse for concealed carry that everyone claims it is.
I agree. I love my Gen 4 19.
Interesting video. I have the G17, G19, G26, G45, G43X. I love the 43X. But the last one I would sell is the G45. I really like that gun a lot. Perfect balance, shoots great, just love it too. I'm planning on selling my G19 Gen 4 as soon as I get a buyer. No reason to have it now with the G45.
I have g17 5, and want to buy the 45, but stuck in IL with this new idiotic gun law, limiting the mag capacity to 15.
Shoot, come to Missouri where we let 13 year old's walk around with concealed guns and 30 round mags. It's ridiculous! (I sold my G19 Gen 4 now I want a G19 Gen 5.) It never ends!!!@@yogevbarshavit
Just got my first Glock(s) this week. Always been a Springfield guy when it comes to polymer pistols, but I am sick of them constantly updating with no backwards compatibility. Couldn't decide between a 17, 19 and 45, so ended up buying a Gen 5 19 and 47, four configurations for the price of two. Can already tell I want a 45, and I haven't even been to the range yet. Haha
Love my G23, never had a malfunction since I bought it in January 2012, it’s been a G32 with a barrel swap, in 357 Sig! Can alter it to be a 9mm also.. I’ve owned 2 G19s one left, I bought my G26 the day Paul walker died, it looks like yours, over 2k rounds, never had a malfunction out of my Glocks I have now.” Also have the M&P shield in 9mm.. great gun also
My first pistol was a Gen 3 17 . It’s still my night stand piece . Other than replacing some springs it’s never failed me .
My favorite Glock is Gen5 Glock 45 mos (with Ameriglo Haven Red Dot Streamlight TRL 1 HL and tall suppressor height iron sights) it's my favorite gun hands down. I will say the the Gen 5 Glock 20 Mos is a definite second place.
I own them all every caliber atleast and the new g21 gen 5 is the smoothest shooting Glock I’ve ever fired. Trigger is amazing too. My favorite for CC is definitely a 43x
My EDC is the Glock 43x. I love it for its weight and slim fit. My full size hunting side arm is the Glock 22 with Amerigo night sights. Buffalo Bore 40S&W p+ hunting rounds are a great option in bear country. To each their own. I do agree if someone only has money to buy 1 Glock, I would definitely recommend the Glock 19. You can't go wrong with the 19, a bit heavy for EDC, and superb for home defense. Would I make 9mm a woods gun??? Probably not. I'll stick to 40S&W p+ hunting ammo. As for as the Glock.380acp, I'm totally with you on the higher capacity future upgrade by Glock. Great video!!!
Honestly my gen3 17, now I own the 19, the 26, an the 23. all gen 3, but the 17 was my first and for me I love the feel over the 19. I’d love to try out other generations, but I live behind enemy lines in California lol.
I recently sold my G22 gen4 because of my grip strength issues from an injury. Luckily, they still make gen3 Glocks. The single recoil spring enables me to pull the slide back with ease. Not for nothing, but I don't see any of those hundreds of thousands of rounds endurance reports anymore, like with the Gen 2 and Gen 3 Glocks. In my opinion the G17 was the first, it's the original and best.
You're not really missing anything. All the "updates" have simply been gimmicks. When the first GEN 5s came out they were pretty much shiny GEN 2s. Personally, I enjoy my GEN 2 and 3 19s, but my later ones sit in the safe.
I had to get the 19 mos gen 5. Shoots like a dream and feels amazing . But at the same time. I don’t care what anyone’s says. I love my Glock 43 lol. It’s a fun gun to shoot and to conceal carry
I just bought a gen5 19m and I love it. Granted it's my first gun but it just seemed like the best choice. My friend just bought the canik blue bomber 9mm and first run with it he had issues. I'm pretty sure I'm going to stick with glock and with all the different models I'm sure I'll never get bored with them.

Good morning. That was a very insightful video. I agree with your choice of the G19 Gen 5. I own one as well. I also own a Glock 23 Gen 5 MOS. I saw that you are not a fan of the .40 S&W but I absolutely love my G23. I moved to the G23 as my EDC. I gladly gave up the two additional rounds that the G19 gave me to have the additional power of the .40 caliber round. I know what people say about the advanced ballistics of the 9mm but the .40 is comparable to a .45 ACP as far as muzzle energy and you get almost twice the capacity of the average 1911 in 45 ACP. I don’t know if you have ever fired the Gen 5 version of the G23, but it has a thicker and heavier slide than the previous version. This reduces felt recoil quite a bit. I find the recoil of the G23 Gen 5 only slightly more intense than the G19. However, the G23 is quite a bit heavier. It took me a while to get used to the extra weight. Of course the ammunition is heavier as well. Finding a good holster that is optics compatible has been next to impossible. Ordinarily, I would still say that my G19 is the last gun I would sell, but I am torn. The G19 was a gift from my wife, but the G23 has a serial number that matches my child’s birthday. I guess my choice would still he the G19 though.
For me personally it’d be the G26, G45, or the G32
I’m actually down to my last Glock the 19x. I shoot it very well and trust the thing to run every time I pick it up. It’s mainly regulated to home defense and range duty but well I’m not sure if I’ll ever sell it to be honest.
yep….Glock 19X and Glock 43X are a Must have🎤
@@truthfulpatriot9129 I don’t necessarily agree about the 43x simply because there are some better options w/higher capacity and easier concealment but it is a very trustworthy albeit unimaginative weapon. That 19x though….well most Glock are super reliable. I do prefer Smith so I am a bit biased.
@@patrickfellers4266 yeah,it’s personal preference ❤️🇺🇸🙏🎤
@@truthfulpatriot9129 everyone in our 2A community has their favorites and in support of Glock fans I definitely agree that they have a long proven track record of reliability and with the newer barrels, accuracy too. One of the reasons I like the 19x is because of the upgraded Marksman barrel design. Very accurate and I believe the 43x has a similar one in it but I am not completely certain of that claim. You would probably know better than I about the 43x
I love glocks over any other manufacturer. I can shoot consistent tight groupings with my g17 with the ghost connector. Recently built a g19 Gen. 5 mos with an rmr and glock performance trigger is a sweet shooter now for a glock.
My 26 I got a 19 mag and sleeve so it’s pretty much a 19 w short slide love it. Will do whatever is asked of it
Disagree about 40 cal Glocks the Glock 27 is one of my favorites. I actually carry it as a Glock 33 357 sig while I am on Church security
I practice with 40 and carry 357 sig. They both shoot to the same area. I'm a better shot with more recoil. A buddy of mine says that's because I grew up shooting 12 gauge shotguns. I have a gen 5 G19 and a 43x as well as a 19x, a g26, g27, I like them all.
I have had several Glocks and got rid of them only to buy a Glock 19X which I could have went Glock 45MOS as well since they are essentially the same. I really like that size. All others so long. My brother on the other hand has them all to include the 357 Sig which is his go to carry.
I also just sold my Glock 23 and 27. I have a Glock 48 with a RFX 11 green dot that is out of this world accurate together with the PSA daggers 15 rounders that’s my last Glock I would sell.
I enjoy and like my 19 but I'm going to have to stick with my 43x and 27 for everyday carry. The 43x to me just fits so nicely in my hand also very easy to draw and I'm finally now becoming quite accurate with it 👍
I tried the 43x recently it definitely feels good to shoot. It’s tough for me to decide between this and the P365x
@@Alex-jo2oi I have both and the p365 will be the better option truly. The mag capacity is 10,12,15 and 17 even. With a better sight and trigger you can make the gun a home defense gun and or a small concealable gun just by the mags.
I’m with you on that, especially now we have multiple companies making 15 Rnd mags it’s the perfect carry gun for me
My holdout Glock is the G19.3. It won over the others.
I sold my glock 19 gen 3 after buy the glock 44. I loved the grip so much I had to buy the 19 gen 5. I really have no regrets about it.
My G17 gen 3 suits me perfectly.
G26 is close behind, but my new favorite is G30SF.
I will never part with any of them.
I have a gen 4 G19, three police trade in gen 3's, a g43, a g43x, and a G21. I am keeping them all. I like them. The G43 for those times I must wear a suit. Conceals great. The g43x has become my summer gun, and the G19 my winter gun. The g21? I just like plinking with it.
Love the outtro /music video at the end! :)
26 would be my last to get rid of. Its basically a 19 chopped down but the 19 is just a 19.
I have the 42, 43X, Gen 3 19, and the 19X. That 19X is something else and I’m more of a Sig guy. The last gun I would sell would be my 229 Legion or the 19X. I think I need the 45 from everything I’ve seen about it and with how much I love my 19X. Time to go shopping .. 😬
I’m with you Glock 19 gen 5. I upgraded the trigger and recoil spring. I love the gun. I have a 43x as well with an upgraded trigger, but I like the 15+1 I get with the 19. The 19 gen 5 feels perfect in my hands.
Gen 5 19 for concealed carry, but Gen 5 17 all day for duty and home defense.
Though I feel that Glock could have made the grip of the 19 a bit longer. I guess I got used to the grip on the 17, that when I go carry the 19, it’s a big difference in feel.
Overall, Glock is a very reliable handgun.
Glock 19x is exactly what you are asking for, 19 with longer grip👍
The only Glock I've ever owned, was G48. I recently sold it because I never carried it after I got a shield plus... then I studied ballistics and talked to multiple trauma center medical professionals in my area, and they pretty much agreed that 9mm is not an effective stopping round. Based on their experience, guys who came in shot up with 9 mm were generally running their mouths about retribution against the guys that shot them... guys shit by 45 ACP, generally were unconscious from blood loss or were already DOA.
I got very similar feedback from most trauma center professionals... one surgeon is quoted by Sgt 1911, as stating "rarely have I lost a patient to 9 mm, and I've only saved one from 45 ACP".
Damn. That’s some good info right there.
At the other end of the spectrum, my nephew was shot in the chest with a .22 LR at point blank range and died before the ambulance arrived. I'm not doubting the 45 is a more capable round, but even a BB gun can be lethal in the right (or wrong) hands.
Did these professionals all quote that the point of impact occurred high center chest or the head for 9mm?
The results of gangbangers getting shot (which is quite often) can also vary on the ammo which is also likely to be FMJ and not proper defensive ammo. There's a lot of omitting details here to make this definitive. Even the Feds put a ballistic report that +p+ 9mm can hang with 45acp. Plus it's hard to say that departments issuing 9mm would be ecstatic to all of a sudden find out all of their shooting incidents for survivability meant retribution...sounds more like gang activities.
@@762x69 my thoughts were the same regarding FMJ
@@762x69 coming from a law enforcement background, I can tell you that government spending is the primary consideration... 9 mm is the chosen round, because it is cheaper than 40 S&W. FBI statistics don't impress me.
The reason 45 ACP was selected originally was because those conducting the testing, discovered that a 45 caliber slug, was capable of putting down a live steer with one shot, amongst other damage testing. Sgt York put down 6 German soldiers who were attacking him with one shot each from his 1911... no such stories from history, involving 9 mm. If you need a weak round to shoot accurately, then 9 mm is better than most... but it is not an effective round, until you fire it from a 16 inch barrel... then it has the same ballistics as the king of one shot stops, 357 magnum... otherwise it is an adequate round, if well placed, but generally not very effective for terminal damage.
Have 2 Gen 2 /17’s never changed anything and still absolutely deadly. Also have Gen 3 -17 and Gen 5-19 . Excellent weapon system.
None. Every Glock I sold I regretted and ended up buying another one to replace it. When I sold my SIGs and SA HC/HCP/XDMs, no regrets and still haven't bought any replacements.
I have my G22 that I carried during my LEO career, also have a G27. Both are keepers for me.
Glock= crappy sights, crappy trigger, but always goes bang. Over the years I found much better options in carry pistols. Recently I’ve been getting rid of all my Glocks as I don’t shoot them much anymore. The only one I’ll keep is the 26 which is not a bad concealed carry gun.
Love my Glock 19x for any purpose mostly home defense
The Glock 23.3 is the overall most versatile "keeper" of all Glocks, IMO. A simple grip reduction eliminates the finger grooves. From there, it can quickly convert to either 9mm or 357 Sig. All 40 cal Glocks have that capability. 3 guns in one. The 40 cal magazine works perfectly for 357 Sig. For the 9mm conversion, we have to use 9mm mags. The conversion barrels are easy to find, and not too expensive, considering the versatility we get. G23 is the keeper in this book.
My 19 gen 2 will be the last Glock that I'd sell due to it's reputation and durability and it's reliable
My Gen 4 19C. The slide has been milled for a Trijicon SRO by ATEI. I highly recommend ATEI for all of your gun smithing needs.
I have a M19 9mm generation 2 which I've had since new in 1996, later in 2001 I bought a M27 .40 generation 3. I liked the M27 from the start and spent a lot of time back then switching back and forth between the .40 and a .357 sig M33 factory barrel, but since those days ammunition sky rocked and 9mm is plentiful and cheap so after I was finally able to finally win the right to concealed carry battle in Maryland and obtain my CCW I converted the M27 to a M26 using a Glock store Double Diamond 9mm conversion barrel & standard M26 mags and I have been amazingly more accurate with it than my M19. I recently thought that after shooting 1000's of 9mm rounds through my M19 maybe it's time to replace & upgrade it with a standard Double Diamond 9mm barrel too, but since having rotator cuff surgery recently I haven't been able to do an accuracy comparison between them, maybe sometime in 2024.
My first handgun was a G17 Gen 4, loved it. Then of course other guns caught my eye. Then I fell into the milsurp world, that took up my attention and hobby. I've shot 1911s, Hi Powers, the FN old school and Springfield's Hi Power, Sig M17s, S& W MPs, Glock's 19x, Sig 226s. But every time I decided I needed a CC gun I went with Glocks. After a little hiatus on shooting the sport. I'm back looking at getting a Glock. I like the Gen 5 19-- owned 1 at one time, just saw a Gen 5 21 at a local gun shop--- if only I could get both lol.
Gen 5 is for law enforcement only in my state gen 4 is discontinued so gen 3 is my only option
Is there anything that’s better and newer than gen 3 g19 ?
Got the gen 5 45. Best Glock so far, though I like gen 4 finger grooves on my 17 for my big mitts.
I have one Glock. 19x. Have rotated through many smaller carry guns and always come back to the 19x. Easier to draw, easier to rack, easier to get rounds on target, comfortable to carry, and to date the only pistol I have shot at the range where it occurred to me driving home that how it felt in my hand was something I never noticed. Other guns I have I have always been conscious of the snap and recoil.
I absolutely love my G30SF. I would never sell it. It just fits and feels great in my hand
I own that same 45 cal great gun !
I have G30 SF as well. Good gun .45 auto
But I truly HATE that protruding viciously sharp mag release button so much! I hate it, hate it, hate it! 😆
Not to mention the stubborn slide release is ridiculously hard on my thumb. Any issues with the aforementioned?
@@wernerschwanert6281 i got the g30sf, i prefer the small mag release, but I abhor the finger extension, i feel like they decided to make it a subcompact and changed their mind at the last minute. I wish they made it the same size as the glock 19, I don't mind it being the wide frame but i should be able to get all 3 fingers on the handle and still have 10 rounds. great gun but that's my one issue. A four inch barrel would be better too for expansion of hollow points
43x is my favorite carry gun..And the 19- gen-3 is my home gun....Shield 9 is also my carry gun...
Glocks are not ugly. I’ve seen ugly (Hi point, Borchardt, FN 1900, Nambu, etc). Glocks are good looking and stylish.
43x great conceal carry. I simply replaced the sights . I love 22 despite this guys opinion… I bought gen 5 after having gen 1 for many years…. I shoot it well so whatever you like… to each his own. Looking to get G29 … Change my mind.
don’t want to change your mind on the 29 but….consider the 20 if you haven’t already. I have both. The 20 is more pleasant to shoot for me at least. Don’t get me wrong I love the 29 and with pearce grip extension I can basically get a full grip but still I am a lot faster and just have more fun with the 20 over the 29. get the 29 first and then get the 20 lol just get both and then some underwood ammo. Obviously all my opinion but the Glock 20 is a blast to shoot no pun intended and any of my friends that have shot it were surprised at just how comfortable it felt in the hand and how easy it was to shoot. Can’t go wrong with either
I have a G19.3, a G45, G21.4, two G42s and a G43X. My 43X is my EDC and is exactly what I want in a carry pistol. I do use a G42 with a pocket holster for just going out to walk dogs or whatever but my primary is the 43X (with S15 mags, I know, I don't care)
I like the 43x a lot as well fits nicely in my hand. I like my 19 but it's a little large for everyday carry.
I have a G21 G22 G42 G17 G19 gen's 2 tru 4. like them all. hard to get rid of any. plus HK. and Styer. they all shoot good.
