“Badass Barry”! Such a cool man. Rest in Peace. Not only do I enjoy the videos you made, I’ve learned so much and keep your wisdom to heart. Thank you Sir Barry, for everything. ✌️
"I just don't get it, why people don't like Glocks. I mean, they're compact..." *proceeds to whip out six Glocks from under his jacket* Flawless victory.
art alvarez Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. So you find a featureless black metal rectangle on top of a near featureless piece of plastic with horrible ergonomics and horrible to CC more beautiful than a Browning HiPower, 1911, Sig 220,226,229,320 etc..., Beretta 92, HK USP and so many more? The reason Glock is so popular is due to the price. But most don't realize they will have to buy night sights and probably trigger, barrel and extended slide & mag releases to make any Glock equal to it's competition. So sure you paid $460 for your Glock but by the time you buy the add-ons your up to $830+ and by then you still don't have the best bang for your buck.
peptobismolsaves1 I actually have that exact skull on a custom slide cover plate on my Glock 21, so I got a kick out of him wearing it in this video. Mother!!!
I worked as an armed courier for Loomis Armored and my daily carry was a Glock 22. Thankfully my partner and I never had an incident on the road but I trusted that gun to defend life. I absolutely love that gun . It'd had the piss beat out of it after being worn in a drop holster for 6 years but it still functions like the day I bought it. Great video. Barry is definitely missed.
I thought you've been going by the Punisher since the 90s man, but good to see you back Frank, if you want to shoot glocks I will love your 1911s lol(if you've seen the movie you'll get it)
Its a plastic witch. Early plastics (1940s) had a bad reputation about breaking. The attitude was maintained up till the 70s. Throw in ONLY one safety and its on the trigger!! I thought the 9mm Glocks shot sweet. The muzzle flip in ANY bigger caliber turned me off.
I thought that it was all hype. How could a gun that simple be so amazing. Well when I got my Glock 19 and took it to the range I see what everyone is talking about. Love my Glock.
I am not nearly as old as Barry, but I resisted it for a long time as well. "I don't want no plastic gun"... Then I started to EDC every day for 5 year... Yep, I love Glocks.
I don't hate glocks, I hate the Glock fan club. I'm embarrassed to admit I carry a Glock in some company Cuz the glocktards give the rest of us a bad name. If people would admit there are other guns out there I think people would hate "Glock culture" a little less.
The thing that gets me with Glock more so than ANYTHING is the Glock fan boys. The ones who swear you up and down they are the be all end all handgun, period. You mention any other brand that you own its junk.
@@whiteyfisk9769 yup I own several springfields and would go gun for gun against your goofy ass and your hipoints. You prob dont even own a gun hell id take your pellet rifle kid. Wanna put your super rare block 19(you're obviously one of the glocktards people are referencing in the comments) up against my CZ shadow? Didnt think so.
@@pwn3426 u carry a cz shadow? You’d look sorta goofy carrying that thing around . cool gun nice for shooting competition and Even a gun fight but it’s not a 500$ general purpose sorta gun.
I have been a 1911 guy for 30 years but I must Admit I bought my first glock a few years ago I am on my third glock. I hate that I love my glocks. They just always work
glocks are fine, its the owners, just like prius owners,this obviously isnt to say all glock owners are douches, we call them glocksuckers, but a great ammount of glock owners are convinced the glock is the only pistol that will work and bash any other gun made
***** nah, I went to a glock get together one time, I wanted to bash my own head in with a rock, the biggest congregation of douchers known to man, oh and fyi, im not a 1911 or glock fan
Maybe because most polymer Stryker fired semi auto handguns are modeled after glocks. Either is a cheap alternative to glock or is a gun designer around glock "flaws".
@@שלמהבןישראל lol and the Glock was modeled after tge HK VP70 , SO what's your point? We are way past the point where Glock is the only reliable Polymer Framed striker fired handgun , 33 years have passed since the Glock 17's release, and within that block of time there are plenty of handguns that have releases that are either as good or better. In the end it's less hate towards the gin itself and more hate towards the annoying Glock suckers.
I was a hater until I stopped being such a slob with my form and until I took alittle time to just slow down and get used to the trigger. Shooting a Glock has made me a better hand gunner in general. Im a Glock conver shooting a Glock Gen4 40 and loving it.
I love my new 6 Glocks, 19, 20, 23, 29, 40, and 43X. Used to be just a Sig and HK dude but lately been really impressed especially with the Gen5’s and Gen4 10mm’s. Great field carry guns, especially after I changed to the McNally trigger for each one.
I’ve had my gen 3 Glock 19 for over 3 years and have put thousands of rounds through it without any issues. Completely stock and it will stay like that forever. I’m looking forward to showing my children my first handgun I bought and show them the technology of a Glock from when I was their age. Even though the technology will most likely be very similar because if it ain’t broke they won’t fix it.
While I completely understand what your saying it has been my experience that 1911 guys are the most guilty of elitism. I recently bought another Glock and I could tell by the attitude of the salesman that he was not a fan of Glocks. He displayed an arrogant attitude and almost a disgust for Glock. I have been treated that way many times by Glock haters (usually 1911 lovers) just in conversations with gun store clerks and people I run into randomly. I hate being treated like I'm an idiot and don't know what a real gun is just because I like Glocks...with that being said I'm also disgusted by the elitist Glock only crowd who looks down on non Glock carriers and I refuse to treat people that way.
I was Just having this conversation with a guy today. We were joking about brand elitism, he likes Springfield xd's and so do I but as you know it all comes down to personal preference. The same can be said for caliber as well....well at least to a certain extent.
By the way, I wont give you a hard time about not owning a Glock, I'm just glad you own a gun and are therefore able to defend yourself and loved ones.
Never again! I carry for self-protection only. Someone talked me into putting an aftermarket trigger in my Glock 43. Couple thousand rounds later my pistol on 12/2/2018 with the gun in a holster with the trigger fully covered fell on the floor AND DISCHARGED. Three safety’s failed allowing the accidental discharge (AD). I called the aftermarket trigger manufacturer. He was shocked and drove four hours to my home. He replicated the error many times on an empty chamber. He took the pistol to his shop to understand why it failed. I had him replace the aftermarket trigger with a stock Glock trigger. Glocks are not sexy, but they are reliable. I am 80 and have used weapons for 73 years. That was my first AD.
If the older guy has been shooting Glocks since 1985 he was never a "Glock hater" as he claims. "According to company literature, the first Glock pistols imported into the U.S. came in January of 1986." What did he do, go to another country to buy it, somehow getting them to sell it to a visiting foreigner, and somehow get it back through customs? Doesn't sound like a Glock hater to me. Glocks were still obscure enough even in 1990 that the makers of Die Hard 2 thought they could get away with calling a Glock 17 a "Glock 7", claiming it was German, made of "porcelain", couldn't be detected by airport x-ray machines, and cost more than an airport cop made in a month.
MaximRecoil he could've been shooting them n not like them and took him awhile to get used to them? in those days only one gun. an H&K had an 18 round Mag and it was VERY expensive. a Glock had 17+1 rounds for about $390 back then. I think that in itself might have been enough to still shoot a Glock while hating it.
I’m a new Glock owner...got a good deal on a used Glock 19 Gen 3. So far, I love it. I’ve owned & shot quite a variety of other pistols. The only thing that I shot better right out of the case was a Walther PPQ. So far, I’m very happy. Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t mind a real thumb safety. I heard they were making those for the military bid that they lost to the Sig. I wish they would add a safety option or mod for all their models.
I'm a gun traditionalist, I like steel and walnut, I like a traditional grip angle, don't like plastic. With that said, personal axes to grind put aside, the Glock may be the best all around semi auto ever made. I still don't necessarily like the ergos of a Glock, but that's just a personal quirk of mine. A Glock has nothing left to prove to anyone.
i used to hate the ergos of glock until i bought one and got used to it that big grip lets you get both hands on the gun i have fallen in love with them there great and so far no malfuctions my first glock is the gen 5 glock 19 im so glad i got this gun.
Here in 2022... Barry is still teaching and giving great opinion from beyond his mansion in heaven... R.I.P. brother your message is still helping the 2A community here in 2022..
It's not so much Glocks as it is the "Glock dudes". OH YOU'RE SHOOTING AN XYZ? AWW DUDE TRY A GLOCK. LOVE MY GLOCK BRO. SUPER TIGHT GROUPS BRO. BRO BRO BRO.
Chris R Aww, have we here a butt hurt Glock Bro? For your sake, I sure hope that you're not serious. If you are, then Glock Bros are even easier to tweak than I ever thought possible. You've done gone and proved mah point, son. And thank you right kindly.
plenty of pistols now days are as good as a glock but with better ergonomics and even better triggers. Walther for one has better triggers and ergonomic and just as reliable.
I seen a bran new walther not work first try at the range and the guy says “that’s why I only carry a Glock” and I was trying to convince him that any gun can have issues from the factory and we argued. A year later he bought a Glock that didn’t work bran new out the box and I said “that’s why I only carry a walther”
@@theykilledjoel1496 lol, Glock fanboys are like a cult. Its just an oldest production plastic gun made...and hadn't been updated once. By the way I like Glocks and carry one, but it is what it is. Hate it when you buy a Glock you have to buy upgrades for it in order to bring it up to date with other manufacturers.
I don't own one because I don't find them aesthetically pleasing. However, I don't hate them because of that. I just, as a consumer, want to buy what I want to buy -- I like what I like. I may buy a Glock in the future, but for now I'm okay without one. I do, however, agree with some of the other comments in that Glock Fanboys are annoying. It's okay to like a brand or product and not judge others for not liking it just as it's okay to not like them and not judge someone for enjoying them. Either way, I miss Barry and I thank God Eric is still doing this stuff.
+The Bluesman I'm pretty sure every gun maker puts some kind of "break in period" in their manual. It's smart to put at least 500 rounds through ANY gun you're going to have your life depend on. Expecting ANY gun to come out of the box and be ready to go into combat is kind of ridiculous. Sure, you'll get some that come out of the box and never break. You'll also get some that come out of the box with factory defects, that will never function properly until sent back for repairs. This applies to any gun manufacturer.
Before I carried a Glock every day for work I hated the things because they were so popular. I figured I had to hate anything that was that popular as a Glock. But after working with Glocks around my County with Transit Security since 2015 I have come to love my Glock.
If you want it to be pretty, you can do a stipple job on it and a colored pin and controls kit. Matching mag drop button. Nice little custom slide back plates. You can do slide cuts, slide refinish and engravings. Mag baseplates. Magazine wells. Custom Trigger.There’s not a thing you can’t upgrade on it if you don’t like something about it. Looks or function.
I have never been of the opinion that one has to find a gun that fits them or their hand perfectly. I have always thought one should just get used to and become proficient with what they have or what works well. I was not used to the way my first Glock felt in my hand but I adapted myself to it. I'm not a Glock fanboy but more of a Glock platform fan, specifically the mags and other guns that use Glock mags.
here from 2020 with a glock 43x and a 15 round steel shield arms mag. its pretty much a slim, light, and smaller version of my g19. and it just works, always. over 2000 rounds and not a single malfunction. may not be pretty as a 1911, but it was a hell of a lot cheaper, and its higher capacity and small enough to carry every single place i go.
At the local range there is a Glock 19 in the rental case that the owner says has seen more use than a hooker in a Tajuna whorehouese and one of their most popular rentals and after years of just routine maintenance and countless thousands of rounds still works like a charm. Glocks aren't the only good gun out there but they are one the them.
As of 2015, Glock fanboys are far more annoying. They go out of their way to comment on 1911 videos saying they're trash, outdated, etc. I don't see many 1911 or SIG people doing the reverse.
You have no idea. I'm watching a video about the Arsenal Strike One (a very cool Russian striker-fired pistol) and they are in full force. UGH I'LL STICK WITH MY GLOCK THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I see it all the time. People that hate Glocks generally are 1911 or Sig lovers. I see nothing wrong with 1911's. Although I have heard it takes some tweaking to get them to run properly. I have no first hand experience with them so don't know how true that is. My issue with them is limited mag capacity. Anyone who says "shooting twice is stupid" has never been in a gun fight.
I don't hate Glocks, I dislike them. Grip angle, corrected w/ Gen 4, OK. Blocky, grip to fat BUT if I was allowed only one rifle and handgun it would be an AK47 and a Glock 19 . I went to the armorers school, the instructor had a POS 19 that looked like someone had taken a hammer to it. He had us move out to the parking lot, tied it to the bumper of his car and drove around for a few laps, the abuse finally stopped when the trigger guard broke. We returned to the inside range, tore it down and inspected it and reassembled it with the original parts and fired it .................... 'nuff said.
Reliable? Yes. Durable? Yes. Comfortable? They're working on it... kind of. I have always been a Sig guy. The first pistol I ever fired was a Sig 226. I don't hate them, but my Sig bias means they aren't really my thing.
yea,because it's hard to know if the sig you get is going to be reliable or not. I know. I've had poor customer service with sig. especially recently with my p938. they charged me twice to send it back to get it functioning correctly on a brand new firearm. then by the time you get frustrated and trade it in on something else you lose roughly half of what you paid. I to was not a fan of glock for many reasons ,but I traded the sig in for a Glock 43 that has been 100% reliable not 90% unreliable. that's a fact!
I had a P226. It felt great in the hand and shot well, but it came from the factory with a rear sight that wasn't centered and a slide stop that didn't work. Maybe I got a dud, but for a pistol that set me back nearly $1000, that is unacceptable.
I've found the opposite to be true, Glock fanboys/Glock Loyalists can be the most annoying people on the planet. Yes we get it you like your gun, but it's not inherently better than ours.
I own several pistols. My favorite is my P226 Legion, but my G19 is a close second. I trust either with my life but I would choose the G19 if I could only have one gun. That size, weight, durability, reliability, accuracy, concealability, and simplicity make it a hard to beat package
Here in Germany we said, when you can't shoot a Glock well, then you will hate them. Are you a good shooter with the Glock, you love them. That's it. 😊
Working my way through all these old gun gripe videos. It seems like there was a lot of casual and unsafe gun handling in this video which I found really surprising given earlier videos in the series.
When you have a product that is extremely popular you will have those that just want to knock it for no real reason except to just be negative. Its lonely at the top.
I've carried a gen3 Glock22 for a year and I absolutely love it. Got me. Tho I did pick up a Taurus G2S a few days ago to see if a smaller gun is a bit more comfortable for me being a smaller guy. Loved the videos!
I liken comparing a Glock and 1911 to comparing a sexy redhead to a sexy blonde. I am not going to complain about having either in my hand! Have a nice day!
good on you to compare the blonde with the 1911, because she dumb as fuck and she aint reliable but she sure is pretty though, and we love her for just that reason.
oof! dang! got a wee problem with blondes I see. Yeesh! What was her name? Where does she live and whats she look like? Just so I know if I ever meet her to run the other way! LOL!
NO!!! the Beretta is the sexy redhead, the Sig is the sexy blonde, the Glock is the ugly brunette who won't make a scene during the family thanksgiving dinner but you wind up divorcing because she can't keep the lead in the pencil hate on the bitchy blondes and redheads all you want, but you stay up at night thinking about them, not the brunette who winds up taking you for everything in the divorce anyway but with less fun times to counterbalance it.
+Albert Einstein For the record I own a Glock 19, and like it just fine. That being said there are guns theses days that offer a little better value out of the box. The Sig P320, which I also own has a hell of a nice trigger and night sights for around the same price of a regular stock Glock. My comment wasn't in reference to my dislike of Glock, but rather the posters of this video who say people who don't like Glock don't just because of the sights, trigger, and feel. Well shit if I don't like any of that then it must be I don't care for the firearm right? Quit acting like the typical butt hurt Glock fanboy. It's annoying.
+Albert Einstein actually, the ONLY nice thing about a glock trigger is the short pull/reset. they are MUSHY as fuck and really arent that light compared to others, especially single-actions. also, the sights dont fucking matter if they're "dead on" it matters how HE can use them, so maybe they suck for him. personally, i HATE the 3 dot sights, but i love love LOVE the new glock U and dot sights, those are excellent!
My 17 has me set right, but it is hard not to like other 9 polymer pistols more with more comfortable grips and better aesthetics, but I do not miss and I never have a malfunction with my 17
think the best description of glock I've heard was "glock is the honda civic of guns" its not the most accurate, not the best handling, not the best looks… but it works. and will keep working. and i don't hate glocks i ail likely buy one one but its because of reliability… but it would likely be a range gun only simply due to comfort.
I've heard that comparison as well and agree with it wholeheartedly. I drive a honda civic for my commute to work. Good mpg, comfortable, runs like clockwork. But when I want to go out on the weekends for a nice drive or to hang with friends I might drive my 56' belair or 89' sierra. Kind of like how I might choose between my glock, 1911 or Smith. The people that will never put down their glock and trash everything else are just extremely close-minded and are missing out.
It's really supposed to be uncomfortable. It's designed so most of the recoil is going back twards your arm instead of torquing up. So you can sight in your target quicker in between shots and put more rounds down range faster.
For me, it's not about "hating the glock" so much as it is about being sick of people acting like Glocks are the "God gun". It is a lot like Harley Davidson riders. Everything else, according to them, is trash. The thing is, now days, every glock made has many equal counterparts that are just as good if not better. For instance, recently I decided I needed a double stack compact 9mm. Why would I pay $560 for a G26 when I payed $450 for a brand new M&P9c with an APEX trigger that is just as reliable, and just as good? Did I mention I've put 2000 rounds through it with no FTE, no FTF, no "stove pipes", and it holds 2 more rounds than the G26? Do I own a Glock? Ya, a G22. Love it, but it's not anything special. Do I plan on buying the G42 when it hits the shelves? Oh HELL ya, but then the G42 will be the king of that category, and that is why I will be buying it. Nobody can argue that.
I will argue the G42 will be king of that category.. there are 9mm choices that are the same size as the 42..why would you want a 380 when you can carry a 9mm in the same size package in a Kahr ?..I like Glocks..I shoot Glocks..but to me, the G42 is not much more than something to collect and say you have one..I guess if I ever try to get the entire Glock collection I'd buy one.. but until then I just don't see a very good reason to for me to get one.. the ammo is less effective, yet more expensive..not very practical for me....
i understand that completely but i am an avid glock supporter and fined that they arent perfect no gun is truly perfect. ( im a harley davidson guy but i still love the honda CBR street bikes)
Law Enforcement Officer (Retired 33 Years) - Glock made me a fan when my agency issued Glock Pistols. Before that I had issued Smith & Wesson (357 Revolver) then (659 9mm Pistol) which I thought were good pistols until I was Issued and Trained with a Glock. LEO Training every year you shoot for a full day (My Case 12 Hours) - Qualifications, Steel Plates, Scenarios, Malfunction Drills. I will say my few issued Glocks (G22's in Gen 2, 3, 4) over the years I never had a malfunction and that Made Me a True Believer in Glock. Most people will never shoot a pistol that many rounds like Law Enforcement Officers so they have No Idea how reliable a Glock can be....Just the Ammo Cost alone will prevent it. Glock Pistols to me are the BEST and that's why Law Enforcement Agencies (65 Percent) Issue Glock Pistols. Plus Safety Trigger System.
It's beauty is in its reliability, affordability, and availability. These qualities are great. That said it's the Handa sivic of the gun world. Anything by sig kicks the snot out of the very best glock.
Yeah, but they're not bad enough for New York City cops. NYPD is so bad at gun handling that they requested a special designed trigger. The NY trigger that was designed for their Glocks had an 8 pound trigger pull. And cops were still negligently discharging them. So they created the NY2 trigger with a 12 pound pull weight. It's absolutely awful.
Lots of comments about Barry's shirt, and no one has said anything about the country music legend Johnny Cash shirt Eric has on. Nice shirt Eric. About the topic of the video, I really like my Glocks. Always faithful and goes everywhere with me. I've owned different Glocks over the years and I always shoot quality ammo, with that being said I can't remember ever having a malfunction with any of them. And I'm not just a Glock fan, I own many different brands of hand guns such as Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Colt and Ruger. They are all good guns.
Probably because if you drop it someone will actually just hand it back to you. You drop a sig 226 or a cz75 or something like that and whoever finds it is gonna bolt into the shadows. A glock... nobody wants that shit... it's like the same as "hey man you forgot your payless shoes here you go" you leave your Jordan's in the locker room or some sweet wingtips... you'll never see them again. Glock is like a payless shoe and a Toyota tercel combined. Reliable... sure... but ugly and doesnt crash test well.
First video recommended to me after literally getting home from purchasing my first gun: a gen 2 glock 17. spot on algorithmic profiling if you ask me.
i dont have any expensive guns anyway, my most expensive gun is an SKS sooo... i mean if i had the money i'd have one, thats what im saving $$$ for actually
I started with 1911 .45s and still use/favor them along with Beretta 92FS/M9s, Sig Sauer P-226/Mk25s, P-220s, P-228s, P-229s, CZ-75Bs, Browning Hi-Powers, GLOCKs and S&W revolvers. I don't care for or own most of the new garbage that has came out in the last 5 years or so that all these greenhorns fawn over these days. It all looks like tactitard mallninja junk straight out of Star Wars movie to me. I have been doing this for 40 years in a big way. My personal taste in handguns reflects that entirely.....
Recoil sensitivity. A genuine reason to hold short on any polymer gun for me. I shot my Brother's .40 cal Glock & it ate me alive. I shoot my .45 Gov Model.....no problem. I'm way senior citizen & could care less about impressing anyone. The weight & balance of the gun combined with caliber is how I judge. I would love to own a Glock 19 & I will give it a try. Great vid as always Eric. RIP Barry.
I like how some people who love Glocks so much that they replace 80% of the factory parts with $1000-$1500 worth of aftermarket parts and still call it a Glock.

Flawless victory.
ConcaCon if the 43 and 42 would have been out he probably would have had them in his pockets.
Savvy Savages yes really
He missed the two ankle holsters! Seriously, I was waiting for, oh, I forgot about that one there....
ConcaCon Jacket is the key word. That's the only way you can carry 6 Glocks.
art alvarez Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. So you find a featureless black metal rectangle on top of a near featureless piece of plastic with horrible ergonomics and horrible to CC more beautiful than a Browning HiPower, 1911, Sig 220,226,229,320 etc..., Beretta 92, HK USP and so many more? The reason Glock is so popular is due to the price. But most don't realize they will have to buy night sights and probably trigger, barrel and extended slide & mag releases to make any Glock equal to it's competition. So sure you paid $460 for your Glock but by the time you buy the add-ons your up to $830+ and by then you still don't have the best bang for your buck.

F'n idiot - that was Samuel Colt.
Holy shit dude, figure it out.
The m&p with the exception of the trigger is basically the same as the g19
I like Glock, not crazy about them but I like the smaller Glocks. I respect them, I just hate the fanboys.
I thought you've been going by the Punisher since the 90s man, but good to see you back Frank, if you want to shoot glocks I will love your 1911s lol(if you've seen the movie you'll get it)
Look at military arms channel reliability test for the m&p. Then go look at the reliability test for the glock.
zach smith glock didn't make it past the sand
true, fanboys of brands/calibers are annoying as hell.
Its a plastic witch. Early plastics (1940s) had a bad reputation about breaking. The attitude was maintained up till the 70s. Throw in ONLY one safety and its on the trigger!!
I thought the 9mm Glocks shot sweet. The muzzle flip in ANY bigger caliber turned me off.
I thought that it was all hype. How could a gun that simple be so amazing. Well when I got my Glock 19 and took it to the range I see what everyone is talking about. Love my Glock.
“The Baby Glock, The Momma Glock, and the Papa Glock”!
Gotta love those Papa Glocks! 17,21,22 and 31
Why do people hate Glocks Barry?
“I don’t know, I used to hate them.”
Then why did you hate them Barry? Lol RIP AMERICAN PATRIOT. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
I'm a convert to Glock fandom. However, I still admire, appreciate, and own other pistols. Just be cool, everyone.
I am not nearly as old as Barry, but I resisted it for a long time as well. "I don't want no plastic gun"... Then I started to EDC every day for 5 year... Yep, I love Glocks.
I don't hate glocks, I hate the Glock fan club. I'm embarrassed to admit I carry a Glock in some company Cuz the glocktards give the rest of us a bad name. If people would admit there are other guns out there I think people would hate "Glock culture" a little less.
The thing that gets me with Glock more so than ANYTHING is the Glock fan boys. The ones who swear you up and down they are the be all end all handgun, period. You mention any other brand that you own its junk.
Found the Springshit owner
@@whiteyfisk9769 yup I own several springfields and would go gun for gun against your goofy ass and your hipoints. You prob dont even own a gun hell id take your pellet rifle kid. Wanna put your super rare block 19(you're obviously one of the glocktards people are referencing in the comments) up against my CZ shadow? Didnt think so.
Apple, Tesla and Glock fanboys are insufferable.
@@pwn3426 u carry a cz shadow? You’d look sorta goofy carrying that thing around . cool gun nice for shooting competition and Even a gun fight but it’s not a 500$ general purpose sorta gun.
I have been a 1911 guy for 30 years but I must Admit I bought my first glock a few years ago I am on my third glock. I hate that I love my glocks.
They just always work
I love how simple glocks are
glocks are fine, its the owners, just like prius owners,this obviously isnt to say all glock owners are douches, we call them glocksuckers, but a great ammount of glock owners are convinced the glock is the only pistol that will work and bash any other gun made
I prefer glock-tard, but yes you are correct, I went for an M&P just because I didn't want to be one
Really Sarge see i feel its the other way around glock been the black sheep forever!! Its the 1911 crew thats the die hard douches....
***** nah, I went to a glock get together one time, I wanted to bash my own head in with a rock, the biggest congregation of douchers known to man, oh and fyi, im not a 1911 or glock fan
LMAO i hear man!!
Travis Bickle it's childish not to buy a pistol just because you're afraid some other childish idiot will call you a name.
One reason is we are tired of hearing glock, glock, glock, glock, lets compare everything to a glock even a cross bow🤨
Maybe because most polymer Stryker fired semi auto handguns are modeled after glocks. Either is a cheap alternative to glock or is a gun designer around glock "flaws".
Absolutely. I don't like Glocks, but I don't hate them. I hate Glock fanboys.
A Glock has a larger magazine capacity then a crossbow 😂
@@שלמהבןישראל lol and the Glock was modeled after tge HK VP70 , SO what's your point? We are way past the point where Glock is the only reliable Polymer Framed striker fired handgun , 33 years have passed since the Glock 17's release, and within that block of time there are plenty of handguns that have releases that are either as good or better. In the end it's less hate towards the gin itself and more hate towards the annoying Glock suckers.
@@tupacshakur1568lol crossbow doesn't have a magazine.
I don't have a problem with Glocks, they're just not my favorite.
I was a hater until I stopped being such a slob with my form and until I took alittle time to just slow down and get used to the trigger. Shooting a Glock has made me a better hand gunner in general. Im a Glock conver shooting a Glock Gen4 40 and loving it.
23 and 19 love them
I love my new 6 Glocks, 19, 20, 23, 29, 40, and 43X. Used to be just a Sig and HK dude but lately been really impressed especially with the Gen5’s and Gen4 10mm’s. Great field carry guns, especially after I changed to the McNally trigger for each one.
Its not Glocks, its Glock fanboys and fangirls whom treat you or talk down to you if you are not part of their Austrian wonder gun
Damn you evil empire. You got me again.
So just like AK, Katana or Honda Civic fanboys
@@MilesTraveler exactly
My Glock 17 is the most reliable handgun I've ever owned. Keep in mind I haven't owned a whole lot of handguns. I trust my life with it.
I’ve had my gen 3 Glock 19 for over 3 years and have put thousands of rounds through it without any issues. Completely stock and it will stay like that forever. I’m looking forward to showing my children my first handgun I bought and show them the technology of a Glock from when I was their age. Even though the technology will most likely be very similar because if it ain’t broke they won’t fix it.
I don't hate Glocks, I hate the tactical elitist who own Glocks.
While I completely understand what your saying it has been my experience that 1911 guys are the most guilty of elitism. I recently bought another Glock and I could tell by the attitude of the salesman that he was not a fan of Glocks. He displayed an arrogant attitude and almost a disgust for Glock. I have been treated that way many times by Glock haters (usually 1911 lovers) just in conversations with gun store clerks and people I run into randomly. I hate being treated like I'm an idiot and don't know what a real gun is just because I like Glocks...with that being said I'm also disgusted by the elitist Glock only crowd who looks down on non Glock carriers and I refuse to treat people that way.
Joseph Haurik oh I agree I put 1911 elitist in the same vain as glock elitist. I get shit from both because I don't own either one.
I was Just having this conversation with a guy today. We were joking about brand elitism, he likes Springfield xd's and so do I but as you know it all comes down to personal preference. The same can be said for caliber as well....well at least to a certain extent.
By the way, I wont give you a hard time about not owning a Glock, I'm just glad you own a gun and are therefore able to defend yourself and loved ones.
The caliber debate is one argument I can't stand. I say carry what you are accurate with.
Never again! I carry for self-protection only. Someone talked me into putting an aftermarket trigger in my Glock 43. Couple thousand rounds later my pistol on 12/2/2018 with the gun in a holster with the trigger fully covered fell on the floor AND DISCHARGED. Three safety’s failed allowing the accidental discharge (AD). I called the aftermarket trigger manufacturer. He was shocked and drove four hours to my home. He replicated the error many times on an empty chamber. He took the pistol to his shop to understand why it failed. I had him replace the aftermarket trigger with a stock Glock trigger. Glocks are not sexy, but they are reliable. I am 80 and have used weapons for 73 years. That was my first AD.
If the older guy has been shooting Glocks since 1985 he was never a "Glock hater" as he claims. "According to company literature, the first Glock pistols imported into the U.S. came in January of 1986." What did he do, go to another country to buy it, somehow getting them to sell it to a visiting foreigner, and somehow get it back through customs? Doesn't sound like a Glock hater to me.
Glocks were still obscure enough even in 1990 that the makers of Die Hard 2 thought they could get away with calling a Glock 17 a "Glock 7", claiming it was German, made of "porcelain", couldn't be detected by airport x-ray machines, and cost more than an airport cop made in a month.
MaximRecoil I said the same thing out loud
MaximRecoil
he could've been shooting them n not like them and took him awhile to get used to them? in those days only one gun. an H&K had an 18 round Mag and it was VERY expensive. a Glock had 17+1 rounds for about $390 back then. I think that in itself might have been enough to still shoot a Glock while hating it.
MaximRecoil I was wondering if anyone else remembers the Die Hard part :)
Occam's razor: he probably misspoke and meant 1995.
I’m a new Glock owner...got a good deal on a used Glock 19 Gen 3. So far, I love it. I’ve owned & shot quite a variety of other pistols. The only thing that I shot better right out of the case was a Walther PPQ. So far, I’m very happy. Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t mind a real thumb safety. I heard they were making those for the military bid that they lost to the Sig. I wish they would add a safety option or mod for all their models.
Laus
I'm a gun traditionalist, I like steel and walnut, I like a traditional grip angle, don't like plastic.
With that said, personal axes to grind put aside, the Glock may be the best all around semi auto ever made.
I still don't necessarily like the ergos of a Glock, but that's just a personal quirk of mine. A Glock has nothing left to prove to anyone.
i used to hate the ergos of glock until i bought one and got used to it that big grip lets you get both hands on the gun i have fallen in love with them there great and so far no malfuctions my first glock is the gen 5 glock 19 im so glad i got this gun.
Here in 2022... Barry is still teaching and giving great opinion from beyond his mansion in heaven... R.I.P. brother your message is still helping the 2A community here in 2022..

If you are, then Glock Bros are even easier to tweak than I ever thought possible. You've done gone and proved mah point, son. And thank you right kindly.
Hahaha bro bro brooooooo
plenty of pistols now days are as good as a glock but with better ergonomics and even better triggers. Walther for one has better triggers and ergonomic and just as reliable.
@VitalyMack - I’m a Walther fanboy and agree with your opinion. That being said, my buddy owns several Glocks and he swears by them.
"Just as guuud"
I seen a bran new walther not work first try at the range and the guy says “that’s why I only carry a Glock” and I was trying to convince him that any gun can have issues from the factory and we argued. A year later he bought a Glock that didn’t work bran new out the box and I said “that’s why I only carry a walther”
@@theykilledjoel1496 lol, Glock fanboys are like a cult. Its just an oldest production plastic gun made...and hadn't been updated once. By the way I like Glocks and carry one, but it is what it is. Hate it when you buy a Glock you have to buy upgrades for it in order to bring it up to date with other manufacturers.
VitalyMack agreed I have flocks no hate to them, and 100% Glock fanboys are like a cult lol
Barry rockin the Danzig T-shirt.
RIP my man.
I don't own one because I don't find them aesthetically pleasing. However, I don't hate them because of that. I just, as a consumer, want to buy what I want to buy -- I like what I like. I may buy a Glock in the future, but for now I'm okay without one. I do, however, agree with some of the other comments in that Glock Fanboys are annoying. It's okay to like a brand or product and not judge others for not liking it just as it's okay to not like them and not judge someone for enjoying them. Either way, I miss Barry and I thank God Eric is still doing this stuff.
I love my G19. My every day carry.
Also, is he wearing a Danzig shirt? F***in sweet!
Glock: Reliablility of the AK, Customizability of the AR. Only wusses complain about the grip. My hands are medium and the big Glock 20 fits fine.
+FlyTour69 i don't like plastic on guns. I would still use them I love Glocks and everything but nothing like an old 1911
+David Mendez -- I don't guns with a 500 round break in period before you can expect it to function correctly.
grip angle can mean the difference between hitting a target or not in a fast draw and shoot scenario.
+james ozment 😂😂😂😂
+The Bluesman I'm pretty sure every gun maker puts some kind of "break in period" in their manual. It's smart to put at least 500 rounds through ANY gun you're going to have your life depend on. Expecting ANY gun to come out of the box and be ready to go into combat is kind of ridiculous. Sure, you'll get some that come out of the box and never break. You'll also get some that come out of the box with factory defects, that will never function properly until sent back for repairs. This applies to any gun manufacturer.
Before I carried a Glock every day for work I hated the things because they were so popular. I figured I had to hate anything that was that popular as a Glock. But after working with Glocks around my County with Transit Security since 2015 I have come to love my Glock.
If you want it to be pretty, you can do a stipple job on it and a colored pin and controls kit. Matching mag drop button. Nice little custom slide back plates. You can do slide cuts, slide refinish and engravings. Mag baseplates. Magazine wells. Custom Trigger.There’s not a thing you can’t upgrade on it if you don’t like something about it. Looks or function.
Just bought my first Glock. actually, I bought two glocks lol. I got a g43 and a 17. I am very impressed
I want two G43s, halfway there
I have never been of the opinion that one has to find a gun that fits them or their hand perfectly. I have always thought one should just get used to and become proficient with what they have or what works well. I was not used to the way my first Glock felt in my hand but I adapted myself to it. I'm not a Glock fanboy but more of a Glock platform fan, specifically the mags and other guns that use Glock mags.
I have always said ergonomics are the last thing that will matter in a real struggle. Reliability is what will matter.
The problem is people act like u can’t upgrade a firearm and retain reliability it may cost more but it can be done
Glocks have their place. So do Sigs and CZs and HKs and Berettas (;
And S&W and FN and Steyr and and and...
And DeWalt and Makita.
CZ 75 is my gun, Why? Don't have a real logical reason but the gun you have will always beat the one you don't.
here from 2020 with a glock 43x and a 15 round steel shield arms mag. its pretty much a slim, light, and smaller version of my g19. and it just works, always. over 2000 rounds and not a single malfunction. may not be pretty as a 1911, but it was a hell of a lot cheaper, and its higher capacity and small enough to carry every single place i go.
Barry wearing a Danzig t-shirt! Just an example how cool the man was. You are missed, Barry
"Pffff, glocks are sooo mainstream."
Is probably the inner though of every glock haters.
Some people hate glock cause it's a pretty shitty pistol in Counter Strike.
Probably mainly that haha
ironic, since the cs glock doesn't even exist XD
no, the glock in cs:go doesn't exist, there has never been a glock with burst fire, period.
I am very much aware of the G18's existance.
At the local range there is a Glock 19 in the rental case that the owner says has seen more use than a hooker in a Tajuna whorehouese and one of their most popular rentals and after years of just routine maintenance and countless thousands of rounds still works like a charm. Glocks aren't the only good gun out there but they are one the them.
As of 2015, Glock fanboys are far more annoying. They go out of their way to comment on 1911 videos saying they're trash, outdated, etc. I don't see many 1911 or SIG people doing the reverse.
That's kinda lame to say 1911 are outdated man you must of had some mean glock fanboys comment.
You have no idea. I'm watching a video about the Arsenal Strike One (a very cool Russian striker-fired pistol) and they are in full force. UGH I'LL STICK WITH MY GLOCK THANK YOU VERY MUCH
i mean i'm a Glock fan but i'm not one to trash other guns...have loads of respect for the 1911 etc.
I see it all the time. People that hate Glocks generally are 1911 or Sig lovers. I see nothing wrong with 1911's. Although I have heard it takes some tweaking to get them to run properly. I have no first hand experience with them so don't know how true that is. My issue with them is limited mag capacity. Anyone who says "shooting twice is stupid" has never been in a gun fight.
+The Tokinjoo I guess you've heard the term double tap...
I don't hate Glocks, I dislike them. Grip angle, corrected w/ Gen 4, OK. Blocky, grip to fat BUT if I was allowed only one rifle and handgun it would be an AK47 and a Glock 19 . I went to the armorers school, the instructor had a POS 19 that looked like someone had taken a hammer to it. He had us move out to the parking lot, tied it to the bumper of his car and drove around for a few laps, the abuse finally stopped when the trigger guard broke. We returned to the inside range, tore it down and inspected it and reassembled it with the original parts and fired it .................... 'nuff said.
Reliable? Yes.
Durable? Yes.
Comfortable? They're working on it... kind of.
I have always been a Sig guy. The first pistol I ever fired was a Sig 226. I don't hate them, but my Sig bias means they aren't really my thing.
Sigs are nice if your a billionaire
Billionaire? Really?
yea,because it's hard to know if the sig you get is going to be reliable or not. I know. I've had poor customer service with sig. especially recently with my p938. they charged me twice to send it back to get it functioning correctly on a brand new firearm. then by the time you get frustrated and trade it in on something else you lose roughly half of what you paid. I to was not a fan of glock for many reasons ,but I traded the sig in for a Glock 43 that has been 100% reliable not 90% unreliable. that's a fact!
I love my p226. It’s a great gun that’s never failed
I had a P226. It felt great in the hand and shot well, but it came from the factory with a rear sight that wasn't centered and a slide stop that didn't work. Maybe I got a dud, but for a pistol that set me back nearly $1000, that is unacceptable.
Love this guy, his show is the best darn gun show on you tube. Just the facts and puts up or shuts up. Informative and entertaining.
I've found the opposite to be true, Glock fanboys/Glock Loyalists can be the most annoying people on the planet. Yes we get it you like your gun, but it's not inherently better than ours.
+Thunderbolt22A10 The most annoying people on the planet would be anime fans.
Wuggles lol upset that I called glock fanboys out?
Thunderbolt22A10 Upset about animeboys tbh
Wuggles lol
Sckarekrow then why did the beretta 92 beat it in reliability during the M9 trials?
I've had a Glock since the late 80s and I still carry it over everything else! Great video about a great gun! Good job guys!
Just curious how long have you had that same gun and does it still run?? 😄
......what's a "glock"?
Is it Austrian for HiPoint?
Gaston Glock, the founder of the company. I'm sure you probably know that already.............LOL...............
That's funny
My yearly rewatch you look so young.... long live the awesome that was Barry. Thanks for the info and the memories y'all.
"Why do people hate Glocks?"
Because they're wrong.
I admit it. I was a GLOCK hater. but now ,I want the government to recognize my marriage to my beloved GLOCK. it's old and rusty but still so trusty.
THAT is what people hate about glock. The fanboy effect.
Like the Danzig shirt.
My hubby has a 17 and a 20. I actually like the glock triggers. I just picked a 19 gen 3 for myself :)
Good vid guys
I love my G21 and you'll have to pull it from my "cold dead hands" for me to EVER switch!
It's not Glocks its Glock owners that suck. I don't want to be in that class of people lol. Great guns though.
You should rethink that.
DonnieHoWaRd0889 That makes no sense at all. If you owned a glock would that automatically make you act a certain way? Just from owning it?
DonnieHoWaRd0889 hahaha you triggered a bundle of dem glock fanboys.
Roger Autry ever shot a beretta? Heavy trigger but fires every time.
I own several pistols. My favorite is my P226 Legion, but my G19 is a close second. I trust either with my life but I would choose the G19 if I could only have one gun. That size, weight, durability, reliability, accuracy, concealability, and simplicity make it a hard to beat package
Here in Germany we said, when you can't shoot a Glock well, then you will hate them. Are you a good shooter with the Glock, you love them. That's it. 😊
....you mean after you drop 600$ on aftermarket parts.
Working my way through all these old gun gripe videos. It seems like there was a lot of casual and unsafe gun handling in this video which I found really surprising given earlier videos in the series.
I just went to the dark side and got my first glock, a 21
Madd Hatter 👍you won't be disappointed
When you have a product that is extremely popular you will have those that just want to knock it for no real reason except to just be negative.
Its lonely at the top.
The 1911 must not have any1 to talk to then cuz he's been on top and will remain there
Will gallant true
Extremely well made. They only had the largest firearm recall in history!
Really I didn’t know it
Exactly what an awesome history they have
@@leudysespinal6310 i think that the old guns in 40sw and 10mm were exploding or something
I've carried a gen3 Glock22 for a year and I absolutely love it. Got me. Tho I did pick up a Taurus G2S a few days ago to see if a smaller gun is a bit more comfortable for me being a smaller guy. Loved the videos!
I liken comparing a Glock and 1911 to comparing a sexy redhead to a sexy blonde. I am not going to complain about having either in my hand! Have a nice day!
good on you to compare the blonde with the 1911, because she dumb as fuck and she aint reliable but she sure is pretty though, and we love her for just that reason.
oof! dang! got a wee problem with blondes I see. Yeesh! What was her name? Where does she live and whats she look like? Just so I know if I ever meet her to run the other way! LOL!
NO!!! the Beretta is the sexy redhead, the Sig is the sexy blonde, the Glock is the ugly brunette who won't make a scene during the family thanksgiving dinner but you wind up divorcing because she can't keep the lead in the pencil hate on the bitchy blondes and redheads all you want, but you stay up at night thinking about them, not the brunette who winds up taking you for everything in the divorce anyway but with less fun times to counterbalance it.
mk45gunnr you men having my hand in either* lol
If I don't like the trigger, the sights, and the feel, sorry I don't like the gun.
Glock factory sights are dead on pal and the trigger is pretty fucking crisp
+Albert Einstein Good guns, but the standard triggers are anything but crisp
+Albert Einstein
For the record I own a Glock 19, and like it just fine. That being said there are guns theses days that offer a little better value out of the box. The Sig P320, which I also own has a hell of a nice trigger and night sights for around the same price of a regular stock Glock. My comment wasn't in reference to my dislike of Glock, but rather the posters of this video who say people who don't like Glock don't just because of the sights, trigger, and feel. Well shit if I don't like any of that then it must be I don't care for the firearm right? Quit acting like the typical butt hurt Glock fanboy. It's annoying.
+Albert Einstein actually, the ONLY nice thing about a glock trigger is the short pull/reset. they are MUSHY as fuck and really arent that light compared to others, especially single-actions. also, the sights dont fucking matter if they're "dead on" it matters how HE can use them, so maybe they suck for him. personally, i HATE the 3 dot sights, but i love love LOVE the new glock U and dot sights, those are excellent!
I love my early gen 3 glock 22
My 17 has me set right, but it is hard not to like other 9 polymer pistols more with more comfortable grips and better aesthetics, but I do not miss and I never have a malfunction with my 17
think the best description of glock I've heard was "glock is the honda civic of guns"
its not the most accurate, not the best handling, not the best looks… but it works. and will keep working.
and i don't hate glocks i ail likely buy one one but its because of reliability… but it would likely be a range gun only simply due to comfort.
I've heard that comparison as well and agree with it wholeheartedly. I drive a honda civic for my commute to work. Good mpg, comfortable, runs like clockwork. But when I want to go out on the weekends for a nice drive or to hang with friends I might drive my 56' belair or 89' sierra. Kind of like how I might choose between my glock, 1911 or Smith. The people that will never put down their glock and trash everything else are just extremely close-minded and are missing out.
Agree but accuracy with my glock was never an issue real tight grouping.
Other way around! Glock for Self Defence,1911 for Range! For so many reasons! I own many hanguns. Glock is a TANK!
It's really supposed to be uncomfortable. It's designed so most of the recoil is going back twards your arm instead of torquing up. So you can sight in your target quicker in between shots and put more rounds down range faster.
they are also the chevy small block of guns. utterly reliable,parts everywhere and cheap,can make it up anyway you want
For me, it's not about "hating the glock" so much as it is about being sick of people acting like Glocks are the "God gun". It is a lot like Harley Davidson riders. Everything else, according to them, is trash. The thing is, now days, every glock made has many equal counterparts that are just as good if not better. For instance, recently I decided I needed a double stack compact 9mm. Why would I pay $560 for a G26 when I payed $450 for a brand new M&P9c with an APEX trigger that is just as reliable, and just as good? Did I mention I've put 2000 rounds through it with no FTE, no FTF, no "stove pipes", and it holds 2 more rounds than the G26? Do I own a Glock? Ya, a G22. Love it, but it's not anything special. Do I plan on buying the G42 when it hits the shelves? Oh HELL ya, but then the G42 will be the king of that category, and that is why I will be buying it. Nobody can argue that.
Well how is finding mags for your M&P9c i found 30 yes 30 for 100 $ all 17 round 9mm mags all performed perfect (for the glock)
I will argue the G42 will be king of that category.. there are 9mm choices that are the same size as the 42..why would you want a 380 when you can carry a 9mm in the same size package in a Kahr ?..I like Glocks..I shoot Glocks..but to me, the G42 is not much more than something to collect and say you have one..I guess if I ever try to get the entire Glock collection I'd buy one.. but until then I just don't see a very good reason to for me to get one.. the ammo is less effective, yet more expensive..not very practical for me....
i understand that completely but i am an avid glock supporter and fined that they arent perfect no gun is truly perfect. ( im a harley davidson guy but i still love the honda CBR street bikes)
I own every glock, even some extra ones. You are not glock fanboys. Are you Austrian? I am.
Law Enforcement Officer (Retired 33 Years) - Glock made me a fan when my agency issued Glock Pistols. Before that I had issued Smith & Wesson (357 Revolver) then (659 9mm Pistol) which I thought were good pistols until I was Issued and Trained with a Glock. LEO Training every year you shoot for a full day (My Case 12 Hours) - Qualifications, Steel Plates, Scenarios, Malfunction Drills. I will say my few issued Glocks (G22's in Gen 2, 3, 4) over the years I never had a malfunction and that Made Me a True Believer in Glock. Most people will never shoot a pistol that many rounds like Law Enforcement Officers so they have No Idea how reliable a Glock can be....Just the Ammo Cost alone will prevent it. Glock Pistols to me are the BEST and that's why Law Enforcement Agencies (65 Percent) Issue Glock Pistols. Plus Safety Trigger System.
I have 6 I dislike them that much.
Barry Newman Lol. I have two. Considering the 44 and a 38.
It's beauty is in its reliability, affordability, and availability.
These qualities are great.
That said it's the Handa sivic of the gun world.
Anything by sig kicks the snot out of the very best glock.
Exactly.
And Honda's dont crash test well.
"good triggers" since when? glocks have the worst trigger of any handgun
Yeah, but they're not bad enough for New York City cops. NYPD is so bad at gun handling that they requested a special designed trigger. The NY trigger that was designed for their Glocks had an 8 pound trigger pull. And cops were still negligently discharging them. So they created the NY2 trigger with a 12 pound pull weight. It's absolutely awful.
Dude no. Just no
Lots of comments about Barry's shirt, and no one has said anything about the country music legend Johnny Cash shirt Eric has on. Nice shirt Eric. About the topic of the video, I really like my Glocks. Always faithful and goes everywhere with me. I've owned different Glocks over the years and I always shoot quality ammo, with that being said I can't remember ever having a malfunction with any of them. And I'm not just a Glock fan, I own many different brands of hand guns such as Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Colt and Ruger. They are all good guns.
Why buy a glock when you can have an HK
I have many different makes of handgun. I carry my Glock.
Probably because if you drop it someone will actually just hand it back to you.
You drop a sig 226 or a cz75 or something like that and whoever finds it is gonna bolt into the shadows.
A glock... nobody wants that shit... it's like the same as "hey man you forgot your payless shoes here you go" you leave your Jordan's in the locker room or some sweet wingtips... you'll never see them again.
Glock is like a payless shoe and a Toyota tercel combined. Reliable... sure... but ugly and doesnt crash test well.
@@BushmasterRaZ does that mean the court is more likely to give a Glock back after a self defense shooting?
First video recommended to me after literally getting home from purchasing my first gun: a gen 2 glock 17. spot on algorithmic profiling if you ask me.
I've got a Glock 21 with the same Danzig skull on the back cover plate as Barry's shirt.
Rock on.
Glock's Rule!
only reason i dont like glocks is because they're expensive, if money wasnt an issue, i would have an armory full of them
What?
i dont have any expensive guns anyway, my most expensive gun is an SKS sooo... i mean if i had the money i'd have one, thats what im saving $$$ for actually
MidcoastMaine Arms $600 is too expensive? you can actually find them for less also idk what your talking about
thats what i got lol, but a 93
***** well well well big boy you got my attention so what happens now?
I still carry a 1911 i perfer 1911 like i prefer chevy
I started with 1911 .45s and still use/favor them along with Beretta 92FS/M9s, Sig Sauer P-226/Mk25s, P-220s, P-228s, P-229s, CZ-75Bs, Browning Hi-Powers, GLOCKs and S&W revolvers.
I don't care for or own most of the new garbage that has came out in the last 5 years or so that all these greenhorns fawn over these days. It all looks like tactitard mallninja junk straight out of Star Wars movie to me.
I have been doing this for 40 years in a big way. My personal taste in handguns reflects that entirely.....
Recoil sensitivity. A genuine reason to hold short on any polymer gun for me. I shot my Brother's .40 cal Glock & it ate me alive. I shoot my .45 Gov Model.....no problem. I'm way senior citizen & could care less about impressing anyone. The weight & balance of the gun combined with caliber is how I judge. I would love to own a Glock 19 & I will give it a try. Great vid as always Eric. RIP Barry.
Glocks are mainstream
Euro excellence
I like how some people who love Glocks so much that they replace 80% of the factory parts with $1000-$1500 worth of aftermarket parts and still call it a Glock.
Lol, I've done that... It's fun to hop up a Glock.
I replace nothing on my Glocks. Any part I do change is a factory part
Can be said of AR and AK too
Glock is fine I just like other guns a little more
+Slice of Cheese Which gun? Let me guess 1911?
No, I like sigs and hks and fns more
+Slice of Cheese - HK P7 M13 for the win ;) ....also loved my Browning Hi-power in the old days.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
***** They are outdated imo.
+General Gaige Outdated, yet one of the most accurate guns still last I checked.. aand it is still thee most copied handgun.
Barry rocking the Danzig shirt like a boss!
