Highly knowledgeable man. Definitely helped fuel my passion for Glock and Beretta at an early age. He doesn't do much with the latter but kinda cause of him I got it in me to 100% disassemble and reassemble them and learn to do it right.

Lenny...I remember buying your vhs instructional videos back in the 90's. You still got it man! Looks like you are still doing what you love to do. Great stuff and congrats on your longevity and success!
the ejector is in the same spot in relation to barrel centerline on the 9 or 40 cal. the 9 and 40 both use small pistol primers, so if the ejector could hit the primer on the 40 it could also hit on the 9.
Great Video Presentation! After watching several of your video presentations, I have become a real fan of the GlockStore. The manner in which you present each video is very professional, yet I also feel your personal passion for providing valuable information and instruction to your viewers. Thank you for your service to us newbie Glock owners and keep up the great job.
Only time you would have a live round cycling backwards towards the ejector is if you unload the gun manually which would not render enough momentum to ignite a primer, i don't see any way a live 40.sw round could be set of out of battery by a 17 frame. However it might case some ejection issues, i can't comment on that, but it will not fire out of battery. Just a comment on the info given at 9:45.
Lenny, if you haven't already, you should film some safety videos to be used in classes. You have the perfect voice for it and you explain everything you're doing so well. As someone who will potentially be teaching classes for law enforcement next year (if everything goes according to plan), I would put more trust in you covering everything important than I would in myself.
One of the best instructors I've learned information from said a very beneficial statement at the beginning of his first class (a state-certified PPO program if it matters): No one person knows absolutely everything we're about to talk about; I can learn something from everyone in the room and vice versa. That said, when I go to an instructor for certification, the last thing I want to hear is the instructor having doubts about his abilities. I say this to you with respect mind you, but knowledge is an accumulation of time and effort. In your case, a LEO can and probably will reference your class when he/she has to testify about their actions at some point, and that has some potentially severe repercussions for all involved. If you're having doubts when teaching others how and what to do-especially in a legally binding manner-perhaps a moment of reflection is in order.
When it comes to legality, I have no doubts. My doubts are more about how to defend oneself when legally able to and a comprehensive safety talk. I've taken a few defensive/combative handgun courses and there always seems to be some disagreement between instructors, although that is bound to happen and isn't something that can really be helped. What I think Lenny would be perfect for is a firearms safety course for rookie LEOs who have little firearms experience. That being said, honestly anyone who sees this and can come up with a list of everything that would need to be discussed could help. (Also, I just really like Lenny's voice and would like to have his expertise to back me up in any class I teach)
000Bob000jones000 I can't argue with a Lenny-based video program. Beyond the logistics of that and before I get to my recommendations, what state and capacity are you teaching these perspective courses? (Academy or other?) In Texas, beyond the base academy if you are hired by an agency, there are TCLEOSE-certified institutions that one can attend similar to EMT certifications where they teach the gamut from all the bookwork to range time; essentially everything to be an LEO with certificate.
I'd be teaching in Illinois, post-academy (probably immediately post-academy). I'm currently working on USAS and NRA certifications and plan to be teaching courses for LEOs who want to better their shooting abilities.
Legend has it, Lenny once arm wrestled Gaston Glock. The extreme strength of both competitors caused the air between their palms to compress into a black hole. That black hole now sits in the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Explaining that the lower of a Glock is considered a gun is quite helpful, the fact that my Gen 2 G19 can benefit from an update to Gen 3 via a Polymer 80 conversion is fantastic!
I have a trigger kit for .357sig on my G26 installed, which includes .357sig (or .40S&W) ejector, of course... So far, I think it can affect on angle at which spent case will be ejected from the pistol, that's all it may affect. I don't think it can engage a primer in any way, it is just physically impossible...
Just a dumb question. Can i have a glock 17 and just one 34 slide to switch between them? keep the 17 slide daily and use the 34 slide for competitions?
Primer is located in the exact same position on a 40 as it is a 9mm both use small pistol located in the center on the round. If you're worried about the ejector hitting the primer on a 40....you should worry about it hitting the primer on a 9mm to.
thank you for the videos Magill they were very very helpful. I'm new to the glock and by watching you're videos they have helped me tremendously on knowing my glock 17 Gen 4 way way better.!!!!
Answered my question in seconds! So the (gen 3)G17 slide will function on a G22 slide! Basically do not care about anything else (suspicion confirmed) but I'll let the rest of the video play just for your run time >=] Edit: also dropping a like my guy! Thank you for three great video.
I´m from Austria and here the lower is just a part and you can buy it without register. Only pressurized parts need to be registered. So if you use a match barrel, you register it as accessory. And you can register two accessories for each gun. A complete upper is also considered one accessory.
People think CA is the most anti-gun state. People always fail to mention NY and the horrible attached NYC. I was actually able to walk into a gun shop in CA and buy a pistol. That's unheard of in NYC where I'm from.
Lenny, we've been watching you for a long time, now. We love your store(s) and all its offerings. And the info and experience you have to share and your enthusiasm in doing so. We see your passion for the sport as genuine and that you're not just "out for a buck." I'm sure that's been the driving force behind your success. I've found this presentation about frames and their relationship to/with each other to be very helpful and, especially so to those who might not be at the same level as some others in the Glock "world." Glock doesn't exactly make it easy, with all of the various model numbers and how they interchange. This simplifies things, a lot. But... In the same respect for those people just figuring it all out, there's something I think needs calling out. To say the "preferred method" (indicating there may be other differences involved) of converting the 17 to a 22 is to replace the *entire* trigger housing just to facilitate exchanging the shell ejector, makes no sense. Just dollars, for whomever sells the housing. Dollars which don't *need* to be spent and especially in the face of the cost of a new slide and barrel, plus "X" no. of magazines. Every dollar counts for a lot of people in light of this "fiscal fiasco" we're all being forced to navigate right now. 😀 If there's some valid reason, some other difference between the housing assys of which I'm not aware then, please... Someone let me know and I'll graciously acquiesce. 😀 To the best of my knowledge the only difference *is* the ejector, itself. Also, you should do the subject justice by giving all of the info since you're currently in the middle of disseminating information about just that... If the housing is in the frame, yes. A short, needle nose plier works fine. Securely grasp/support the frame and pull firmly. The other, "preferred method," should the housing already be out of the frame, is to use a small punch and simply push the ejector out from the rear and install the desired ejector. Either way, it's only a 30 sec. swap and there's no need to pay for a whole new housing. 😉 If it seems like I'm "over reacting," apologies. I'm just trying to give you credit when due (which is 98.5% of the time) and call BS when necessary. We still love ya in this house, Buddy.
@@prestont434 Sir... I'm afraid that ou're the winner of today's "This is unbelievable, I can't take it anymore" response to these types of response... Which has been building for a while. May I direct you to an English 101 primer and Websters "New world dictionary, unabridged?? My comment was articulate, well punctuated and of proper structure and grammar. I know that's somewhat confusing to a lot of today's highschool (and college) "graduates." Mind you, that's not a personal attack, by any means, I don't know your personal scholastic background but, "what?" as a response to a viable and comprehensible comment *does* tend to raise an eyebrow. I admit, the ability to and act of being thorough in my speech and communication does frequently get me labeled as [a] "racist" (though that's not the correct usage of the word, "bigot" would be much more appropriate), however one has anything to do with the other, I've no idea or that I'm trying to somehow "belittle" people, simply by speaking or writing correctly and comprehensively but, I'm just using the vocabulary and communication skills I was tought in grade/high school (which I actually attended, what was I thinking...) and it's application thereof to convey my thoughts, opinions and questions in an understandable presentation. Seems that's a waste of time these days, a lone voice on a deserted island in a vast ocean. Now then... Am I being sarcastic? Of course, obviously so. But, the types of responses I get for actually using more than the apparently acceptable "144 characters" to communicate is astounding... And, a sad commentary on today's outlook on the ability of people to effectively communicate with one another, which is a huge cause in today's societal breakdown. If people held a book instead of a phone for the same amount of hours in a day, this world would be a *much* better place. But, I digress... To answer your very "succinctly put" question, aside from a sincere acknowledgement of the services that Lenny McGill provides to the Glock owners/shooters community, I called out the fact that "there's more than one way to skin a cat..." And they're not all the expensive way. You don't need to replace the whole trigger housing just to replace the extractor. Hope that clarifies things for you. (In other words, "ask a silly question, get a silly answer"). 😉
Does anyone know what would happen if you put a smaller slide on the frame. Like let’s say a 19x slide on a 17 frame. Would it function and would it cause any issues?
In South Africa the barrel is registered as it is the part that can be identified via ballistics testing. When replacing a barrel on a hunting rifle a full new license is required. All other parts can be exchanged without permission or paperwork. Would have loved to swap out parts on the G19 but it is near impossible with the differences in regulations.
How do you do it on a Glock 19 gen5 with ONLY the spring out? I did it on accident(Safely cleaning and looking at the mechanics. The tiny 2 spots to be held down... slide back a tad. Then slide off the front. release buttons(worst thing about Glocks I have). They rest ON THE SPRING. Leaving the chamber stuck and useless lol. No worky on easy mode, tried your stuff I'll try the HARDER one. This could be could though. Have some ones weapon and wanna secure it safe. Slide release. Throw out the spring. Even if a bullet maybe one bullet inaccurate cause you now have a free floating chamber. NVM got it. Set it up fucked up again. Forgot it lol. It requires you to get the barrel out VERY far... There's a baby lock I'm missing. Damn rubrics cube.
Good video as always. I'm not a Glock guy. However, I do own a G 22. I'm an instructor & a lot of my students shoot Glocks & have questions. Your videos contain helpful information
What about the 45 GAP guns? Is the 37 the same frame as a 17 or 22? I know that the 37 slide is wider, at least it is on the gen 3 37 that I own. But I have read that the frame is the same.
You can turn the 37 into a .40 with a ati interchangeable barrel chambered in .40 & use the all Glock .40 magazines because the g37 shares the same Dimensions as the 17,22,31
You need to make a GS frame for the Glock 20 and 21 please. Don’t forget about us 10mm and 45cal guys. 9mm may be good for plinking or conceal/ carry, but I prefer some serious stopping power for home defense.
I have Glock 17 gen 5 and am considering purchasing a Glock 45 gen 5 can I use the same magazines for both pistols, my concern is that I am only allowed to process 10 - round magazines when I live, so this will work or no
Leads to my question...I have a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion bbl...should I have a 9mm extractor, 9mm recoil spring and change my trigger housing...have there been any reports of prematue ignition of 9mm rounds with a .40 cal extractor??? I have a G35...
Mohammed Cohen I would Recommend setting the gun up extractor and ejector as a 9 mm.It might be fun to play with but I wouldn’t put my life on the line without proper 9 mm parts.
I recently acquired a PF940 From a woman whose husband had passed away before he had a chance to assemble it. In the kit was the Jig and the 5/64th Milling Bit so that the rear rail guides can be put in. The kit didn't have the End Mill bit. There was also no instruction sheet or parts list for the rest of the parts for the lower receiver or what caliber it is. Does the PF 940 on the cover of the box mean that it can be either a 9mm or 40 cal. Jerry Dday
I have a question since I’m just now seeing this and it’s 2022. Can you take a Glock 19 gen 3 upper, and put that in a Glock 17 gen 3 frame? Basically turning it into a Glock 45?
So I got a question I’m trying to take a Glock 23 40 cal And use a Glock 45 9mm frame By switching the slides what do I need to get in order for that to work properly
Do not own a Gen 5 But a Ge2-3--4 Clock 35-23-27-Can easily become a 9mm with a Conversion Barrell the 40's all you need is 9mm mag and conversion barrel will Shoot 40 cal 9mm and 357 sig the 357 sig will fit in a 40 mag and 40 mags and 9mm mags One Gin will shoot Three calibers ? I shot a Glock 36 with a 9mm conversion barrel for years I bought every weight guide Rod Spring and was shooting 88 gr and smaller with 10 lb spring You can Fine Tune any round ?
Is there a smaller narrower frame for the .40cal 23s? I have a smaller hand, and the frame is too wide. Wondering if Glock made narrower frames that'll compensate the .40.
I found a Glock 17 Gen 2 for $278. It looks in great shape I’m just thinking there is something wrong with it at my local pawnshop? What’s the recall I heard about and did I miss out on a great deal ??
Quick question. I currently use the .40 to 9mm barrel from your site on my glock 27 with glock 26 mag. But happen to come across a 26 frame. Can I use the glock 27 upper with your .40 to 9mm barrel on a glock 26 frame.
Lenny -- I live in san Diego. My hand likes the full frame grip on the 17... and my eye likes the 4.01" barrel of the 19. Can I put this combination together, without any problem?
We need a video specifically on building a g26 p80. The g26 is extremely difficult to get to work reliably. 16 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way back. 14 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way forward.
Do you have to change the ejector and extractor if you change to a conversion barrel like glock 22 to 9mm conversion barrel can I keep it the same except for magazine? I tried it fired great even with the 40 magazine which I will change to a 9mm magazine.
I’m building a g23 but I can’t find a slide parts kit anywhere so I was wondering if I can use a g19 slide parts kit on my g23 or would that be dangerous or not function properly
noob question, but can you sell a non-roster gun in California by sending it to the FFL and the buyer picking it up after its process or would it only be a gen 3 Glock in California?
Can you guys develop and beaver tail grip adapter for a gen3 g20-21? I have the 21 SF that I bought to mitigate slide bite. It didn't work. The grip adapters do.
His voice reminds me of either a infomercial star or possibly a car salesman. Regardless, he's great at explaining everything that is Glock.

In reference to the accidental 17/22 primer strike- Aren't they both small pistol primers and therefore the same "accidental strike"?
Never quite got the frame as the gun. On its own it cant fire a bullet, but the barrel, slide, and spring can still fire a round without the frame.
i know right, stupid ass law makers.You're right, the lower is harmless, but the upper could technically fire a round lol
RowdyRides The frame holds everything together and gives it the ease of shooting and repeatability though.
england considers the pressure bearing parts as the "firearm" you can have a reciever but not a barrel or bolt.
Good video as always. I'm not a Glock guy. However, I do own a G 22. I'm an instructor & a lot of my students shoot Glocks & have questions. Your videos contain helpful information

How do u put a light or Lazer on the rail without covering the number ????
can you build a G34 on a G17 frame? I have gen3 17 but want to get a 34. Can I just get the 34 upper?
yes as long as you get a gen 3 34 slide there will be no issues
What about the 45 GAP guns? Is the 37 the same frame as a 17 or 22? I know that the 37 slide is wider, at least it is on the gen 3 37 that I own. But I have read that the frame is the same.
You can turn the 37 into a .40 with a ati interchangeable barrel chambered in .40 & use the all Glock .40 magazines because the g37 shares the same Dimensions as the 17,22,31
isn't a 14th Amendment violation to be allowed to sell to law enforcement but prohibited from selling to non-LE?
right. thats why cops are abusers. because they get away with murder and assault
Lenny, You are the Coolest Glock Guy EVER...!!!
I like how you plugged lasik eye business!
You need to make a GS frame for the Glock 20 and 21 please. Don’t forget about us 10mm and 45cal guys. 9mm may be good for plinking or conceal/ carry, but I prefer some serious stopping power for home defense.
I have Glock 17 gen 5 and am considering purchasing a Glock 45 gen 5 can I use the same magazines for both pistols, my concern is that I am only allowed to process 10 - round magazines when I live, so this will work or no
Leads to my question...I have a Lone Wolf 9mm conversion bbl...should I have a 9mm extractor, 9mm recoil spring and change my trigger housing...have there been any reports of prematue ignition of 9mm rounds with a .40 cal extractor??? I have a G35...
Mohammed Cohen I would Recommend setting the gun up extractor and ejector as a 9 mm.It might be fun to play with but I wouldn’t put my life on the line without proper 9 mm parts.
Congrats on the lasik, I just got mine and love it!
can you put the glock 17 slide on the glock 27 frame?
great video and info.
I recently acquired a PF940 From a woman whose husband had passed away before he had a chance to assemble it. In the kit was the Jig and the 5/64th Milling Bit so that the rear rail guides can be put in. The kit didn't have the End Mill bit. There was also no instruction sheet or parts list for the rest of the parts for the lower receiver or what caliber it is. Does the PF 940 on the cover of the box mean that it can be either a 9mm or 40 cal. Jerry Dday
We need a update on the gen 5 frames
Great video Lenny!
Wonderful speaker and explainer. Thank you.
I have a question since I’m just now seeing this and it’s 2022. Can you take a Glock 19 gen 3 upper, and put that in a Glock 17 gen 3 frame? Basically turning it into a Glock 45?
The exact info I was looking for. Thanks
Hi great vid.. thnkz I want build a sub compact 357 ..which size slide would i use.? Thnkz
The bent ejector will not strike the primer of the 40 Cal. Both the 40 and the 9 have the primer in the same spot, they are center-fire. Derp!
Or. Could i marry/ pair the G36 upper and Lpk. On a subcompact frame like 26-27. And have magazine fit and function etc?
Lenny what about the springs of 9 mil line up?Like the recoil springs,trigger unit and extractors are they all the same?
So I got a question I’m trying to take a Glock 23 40 cal And use a Glock 45 9mm frame By switching the slides what do I need to get in order for that to work properly
I’m trying to do the same thing you have to change the ambidextrous slide lock to a gen 4 and switch the cover plate to a gen 5
th-cam.com/video/hL0_-A_9CGI/w-d-xo.html
Does the interchangeability apply to the compact glocks (19,23) to be specific.
Glock store. Could i marry / pair a G36 upper with a G43 frame? If i use the 36 lpk. ? 🤔🤔🤷🏼♂️🙏🏻. Let me know what you think 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hey Lenny. You're badass. Love your videos.
ok if I build a glock 22 which slide can I use if I can't find a 22 slide to do a 40.9mm.357 sig conversion ?
great information thanks Lenny
Thank you for sharing this. Many years ago I always wondered why my glock had a bend ejector. I thought I had damaged it somehow.
Do not own a Gen 5 But a Ge2-3--4 Clock 35-23-27-Can easily become a 9mm with a Conversion Barrell the 40's all you need is 9mm mag and conversion barrel will Shoot 40 cal 9mm and 357 sig the 357 sig will fit in a 40 mag and 40 mags and 9mm mags One Gin will shoot Three calibers ? I shot a Glock 36 with a 9mm conversion barrel for years I bought every weight guide Rod Spring and was shooting 88 gr and smaller with 10 lb spring You can Fine Tune any round ?
Question: Will a 34 fit in my 22 Blackhawk holster?
I had a question would a Glock 19 slide work on a 17 frame with a compensator?
I bought a glock 34 gen 5. Will the 17 slide fit the frame on a 34?
Is there a smaller narrower frame for the .40cal 23s? I have a smaller hand, and the frame is too wide. Wondering if Glock made narrower frames that'll compensate the .40.
Hey lenny, thanks for answering my question before i even asked
Will my g26 slide fit on the 43 frame 🧐
You didn't show or mention the 19 and 23. Are they the same as well?
Can I put a Gen 3 aftermarket slide on a Glock factory 17 frame?
I found a Glock 17 Gen 2 for $278. It looks in great shape I’m just thinking there is something wrong with it at my local pawnshop?
What’s the recall I heard about and did I miss out on a great deal ??
Don’t miss Cali. I do however miss you guys.
Awesome video Sir
In Austria the barrel and the bolt head are considered the gun every thing else is a part like the frame
leon123467 oh wow
What is the bolt head? In America only the frame is considered a gun, the rest of the parts you can buy without a background check or license
@@flatearth3750 In Germany like everything is considered the gun
If you're always supposed to have the serial number visible then how can you get away with a weapon mounted light or anything on the rail?
Quick question. I currently use the .40 to 9mm barrel from your site on my glock 27 with glock 26 mag. But happen to come across a 26 frame. Can I use the glock 27 upper with your .40 to 9mm barrel on a glock 26 frame.
Lenny -- I live in san Diego. My hand likes the full frame grip on the 17... and my eye likes the 4.01" barrel of the 19. Can I put this combination together, without any problem?
How does he get the upper to slide off so smoothly? My 19 is fairly new and stubborn to slide off. I have to sweet talk it first
I’m trying to find a Glock 30 gen 4 slide can’t find one any other Glock slides that’ll fit a Glock 30 gen 4 lower?
We need a video specifically on building a g26 p80. The g26 is extremely difficult to get to work reliably.
16 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way back. 14 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way forward.
Thanks for another great educating video.....
You sir got a voice for radio
Where can i get that magwell you have on the grey gun thanks
Will my Glock 27 slide fire & function on my 26 frame safely? Please help
Do you have to change the ejector and extractor if you change to a conversion barrel like glock 22 to 9mm conversion barrel can I keep it the same except for magazine? I tried it fired great even with the 40 magazine which I will change to a 9mm magazine.
Can you do a video on the 17M and 19M and let us know what you know about Gen 5? Thanks.
I’m building a g23 but I can’t find a slide parts kit anywhere so I was wondering if I can use a g19 slide parts kit on my g23 or would that be dangerous or not function properly
noob question, but can you sell a non-roster gun in California by sending it to the FFL and the buyer picking it up after its process or would it only be a gen 3 Glock in California?
Is there any difference in the frame internals? Like if you wanted to build a 30 could you use the internal parts from a 21?
Can you guys develop and beaver tail grip adapter for a gen3 g20-21? I have the 21 SF that I bought to mitigate slide bite. It didn't work. The grip adapters do.
Can you make a video like this for the gen 5, I want to see why the 19/45 slide won't work on the 17 frame
th-cam.com/video/hL0_-A_9CGI/w-d-xo.html
@@HeavyD45 thanks, I saw that already and was never told why it didn't wprk
just curious, can you cut the polymer 80 frame to fit a g26 slide?
Great job
I have a gen4 g27 can I just buy @ drop in a 9mm barrel ( same length , of course ) for it to function as a 9mm ?
Does anyone make metal lower frames? Would there be a noticible benefit since I know weight affects recoil. Would it make it easier to use?
Does a glock 23 slide work with a 27 frame?
