I'm never buying a firearm based on a Hickok45 video. Super informative and helpful, but this man makes shooting a 10mm look as easy as a full size .380 lol. You're too good my friend.
I’m 5’9 and have somewhat small hands. The Glock 20 was my first firearm and first gun I ever shot. Since I started with it, I’ve never had a problem thinking it’s ‘powerful’ or handling recoil. It’s an easy firearm to shoot imo. I’d rather shoot 10mm over 9mm any day. If you started with a 380 or something I can see how you would think the Glock 20 is hard to handle.
@@user-zu8ec5zk1cI totally agree. I prefer to shoot my glock 20 but ammo is pricey. I shoot this just as well as 9mm but extended shooting full power loads my hand hurts after 200 rounds
@@user-zu8ec5zk1c Why you want to "shoot 10mm over 9mm " ?
@kyleward He shot some weak loads. Some say that most factory loads today arent much stronger than 40S&W. At 9:40 he shots Underwood ammo and there you could see a significant differents in recoil!
@@Gieszkanne with hollow points hot loads don't always work better. Too fast and bullet does not penatrate deep enough. The federal HST 200gr actually outperformed all others and it's not the hottest load
Partly due to the malfunctions, we went ahead and did a Chapter 2 video with this pistol. I'll post it soon as a follow-up with more shooting and testing.
Chapter 2 Video: th-cam.com/video/lfODeL43F-M/w-d-xo.html
I think it’d be a good idea to use regular capacity magazines. the 10 rounders probably don’t feed as well
I love my Glocks. It’s the only platform I trust and carry daily however the new Gen 5 changes with the large frame Glocks I don’t agree with. I experienced the same malfunctions with my Gen 5 20.
i noticed the malfunctions were with a older gen 3 mag. im sure hickok has put thousands of rds through those including being londed for extended time.
it was with a older gen 3 mag, so im definetly leaning weak spring with hot ammo. hickok we know how great glock mags are, but that may be one thats had just got weak over being loaded and shot for yrs. God bless
How do you get the pro grips to last? Mine didn't twice.
I just want to say, hickhock45 has the most informative videos, he also throws in goofy humor and is a damn good shot. Thank you hickhock for doing so. I think you will go down as the best firearms TH-camr for those who want to learn.
Well that's unfortunate for 7.3 million people to potentially see. Awesome as always Hickok!

I picked up my Glock 20 gen 5 3 months ago. I’ve put 500 rounds through it not one issue. Great gun and always great review by Hickock45.
How is 10mm recoil wise? Never shot one but interesting round.
What kind of round have you been using?
As a Californian, the politicians will graciously allow me to own a Glock Gen 3. However, mere possession of a Gen 4 or Gen 5 would result in felony charges. Mere possession of a greater than 10 round magazine is a felony. We elect idiots.
Not for Cops or military personnel. 😅
You think the politicians are idiots, they think you’re evil for owning guns. 😂. It’s unfortunately a never ending cycle.
Wait seriously? What makes the different generations a felony?
@@tylerd.5694 They aren’t on the California handgun roster. So they’re not approved by the department of justice to own in the state.
A identical gun that has a different color will not make the roster as well- so a black X gun is “safe and approved” but the exact same gun in brown is “unsafe” and illegal to own
California has access to about 5% of the handguns available to free states, and we pay inflated prices and many additional taxes/fees
I've got two Gen 3's, a 17 and a 21.
I don't need any other Glocks than those.
They will out live me!
I was very fortunate to buy those new.
Camera rolls for one minute and he starts to feel like emptying 3 magazines in a row, bless this man. 🙏

My new Glock 20 gen. 5 is the tightest Glock I have ever seen. Not a bit of slide rattle when brand new. Cleaned and oiled it up before shooting it. It also had a very rough pick up rail on the bottom of the slide due to the thickness of the black finish. I Polished it up after I shot about 300 rounds. During the break in, I used 15 round magazines with # 2, #3, and #4 followers as well as new 10 round mags that came with the pistol. The new 15 round mags with #3 and #4 followers had weak springs from the factory, more like 9mm springs. Three malfunctions with those mags. The mags with #2 follower had very stiff springs and no malfunctions. Also the 10 round mags worked well and had no malfunctions. I need to shoot again with the polished pick up rail because I think it was slowing down the slide a bit as well.
How Glock never made you their USA Ambassador is beyond me? You are beyond deadly with any Glock.

I have all 3 generations of these Glocks as well, not a single problem or malfunction, I’ve tried almost every kind of ammo possible through them. Shot thousands of rounds through them. Almost to a 1000 on the gen 5, no problems. There a Glock there reliable, and the Glock 20’s will always be my favorite ❤️❤️ love your videos Hickok❤️

We often come for the gun reviews but i dont think everyone notices how good hickoks aim is its crazy
I had the same feeding issues with my new G20 Gen 5. I took it to a gunsmith and he polished the barrel and feed ramp and all is well now: zero reliability issues. Before, you could take a round and place it in the barrel (out of the gun of course) and it took just the slightest bit of pressure to get the round to fully chamber. Now it drops in by gravity alone.
I've said it before, you are a wizard with a gun. If I could shoot half as good as you I'd be crowing. Always a joy to watch you shoot.
I absolutely love my Gen 3 Glock 20SF. Not a huge Glock fan, but I fell in love with the 20. Only issue I have with 10mm is factory ammo. I reload, so it doesn’t affect me as much, but for those that don’t, it just doesn’t make sense to go with the 10mm over the .40S&W. Just not much difference in factory offerings unless you go with the Underwood or Buffalo Bore.
with the 10mm you can shoot .40 s&w, factory 10mm and the hot loaded 10mm so its actually not a bad choice even if you don't reload.
I've found there seem to be levels in muzzle energy from full pressure loads all the way down to much weaker loads for the recoil-averse that want to say "I have a 10mm!" but want it to just kick like a stout 9mm. Examples: Lower end Win white box in the 400s, Rem green box in the 500s. Midrange SIG Sauer in the 600s. Upper end Underwood in the 700s. I haven't tried everything, though. I stay with the heftier stuff, be it FMJ or "carry" bullets (HP or fluted).
Good choice g20 10mm is the powerful glock
those who fired a handgun would know.. how amazing his aims are..
Bob Ross of the gun world! Love this dude been following him for years! Great representative of my home state of TN!
The 10 round mags are the problem at least for me they were, switched to 15 rounders and no problems.
You own a 20 or a 29?
I love my Gen3 G20 SF, it's never let me down. I have a Gen5 G17 that is a joy to shoot. I was thinking about getting a Gen5 G20 but now I think I'll just keep what I have.
Keep in mind those malfunctions were more likely ammo/mag related since he was using previous Gen magazines and underwood has had quite a few QC issues as of lately
@@echo1364 ^^^^^ This
I recently purchased a G20 Gen5, and I like it alot. I made a few changes that are just personal preferences. I changed the front sight to a high vis green one. I bought the extended slide lock that makes a tear down easier. ( I wish Glock themselves would do that). And lastly I put on Talon grips which I have on all my pistols. The recoil does seem less than previous generations, which helps with accuracy, at least to me.
I'm starting to understand the classic Glock owner "I love this pistol so much that I bought it and changed everything about it" joke. Lol
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957I mean, handgun enthusiasts accessorize and customize everything, but there are literally tens of millions of people carrying unmodified Glock 19s and 17s in this country.
When you were hitting the gongs in a certain pattern, I could've sworn I was hearing the first few notes of "My Country 'Tis of Thee" lol
The malfunctions are just part of the gen 5 addition "malfunction clearing training aid".
Yea! Life happens Right!!!
Glock IMperfection!
Yep they malfunction too. Lol
Sounds like my P322
If you watch the malfunctions it's from where the pad of his big hands is hitting the slide release on the right side of the gun.
Those neutered magazines would be my guess as to why it malfunctioned so much, unless I missed you using standard capacity mags. Glocks are designed with standard capacity mags in mind. Once states like California and such cause design changes it compromises the pistol in my opinion.
It happened even with the standard cap 15 rnd in the video.... even those 10 rounders are no different in any way from the 15 rounders other then not allowing more than 10 to load so that doesn't effect the gun lol..
Except he's using standard capacity Gen 3 or 4 mags...
@@seanscott9186 that doesn’t effect anything I use them with my gen 5 model 20 with zero issues
@@jmanownz985 Yeah, I was agreeing with you. I replied to the guy complaining about "neutered magazines". My understanding is that any generation of Glock can use any generation Glock mag.
I bought this gun at the egunner auction. Funny that you mention that the 10 round mags might come in handy -- I bought this gun in Washington state (10 round mag restriction), so it worked out! I'll be using this as a hunting sidearm this season in Montana.
The only malfunctions I've had after ~200 rounds are from the slide release being slightly extended on the Gen 5's compared with earlier generations, so my hand causes it to lock back when the mag isn't empty. I guess that'd be called a user error though, so I'm trying to adjust my grip. I did lube the gun pretty heavily after receiving it though, seems like new Glocks are quite dry from the factory which could have caused your malfunctions (although you mentioned that you oiled it, so who knows).
Anyway, great info as always! Life is good.
Cool. Just please don't leave this gun at a crime scene; it might still have my DNA on it. :-)
My experience with the G20 has always been love/hate. It's such an awesome package but just isn't as reliable as you expect from a Glock. I had several malfunctions just like this, where it doesn't feed the next round. And I'm not even limp wristing.
I find that with my GEN3 G20SF this can happen with an aftermarket recoil spring/rod. When I was running a Wolff 22 lb setup it would happen every once in a while. I haven't noticed it with my current Wolff 20 lb spring, and with the factory guide rod/spring assembly I can't ever remember a malfunction.
Really, with this said, even with a 22 lb recoil spring it wasn't a very common occurrence. Maybe once every few hundred rounds I'd get either a FTF or FTE. I think I even caught a stovepipe once. Also it didn't matter, it could be very hot ammo, or very watered down ammo. It could do it to either. The stiffer spring sure did make it shoot like a Cadillac though.
I feel sure I've probably got going on 4K rounds through this gun, and have probably experienced 5-6 of these types of instances.
"perfection"
I have a g20 gen4 with zero malfunctions in prolly 1000-1500 rounds. It’s my favorite Glock to shoot and have had no malfunctions out my g29 gen4 either in my experiences.
I own a Glock 19 gen5 and have had zero malfunctions.
Do you believe it’s the loose tolerance’s in barrel causing case bulge? I have had issues with both of mine. Changed to heavier springs but have not yet put an aftermarket barrel with tighter chamber support.
Thank you Hickok45 for the awesome gun video and I have a glock 43x and I haven't ever had one malfunction and I have use all kinds of 9mm ammo
Ive had malfunctions with the Glock 43. The Sig hollowpoint ammo would "land" on the feed ramp, and would completely jam the pistol. It happens, some guns DONT LIKE certain specific ammo.
G17/19 eat everything
A simple fixe is polishing the feed ramp.
It’s not the Glock it’s just single stack period not counting 1911s
My friends glock hated hollow point, it refused to feed the last round
Because it’s sig 🤮
Been waiting for this one.
20 or 21 🤔

WOW 😳, I was shocked how many times , of malfunctions ! I have same Generations, in 20&29 never had a problem, just goes to show you different reactions with different ammo. Thank you
really do see it all on this channel. thanks for the many years
11:35 I’m not sure that Glock understands the definition of “perfection”.
There’s a video called “Glocks secret new 10mm” that channel tested this particular gun extensively.
Hickok, can you also do a review of the Glock 21 Gen 5? Thanks a lot
HickHock, I know you’re told this often, but you’re aim is insane man. All the best to you and your family, and I always come to your channel whenever I’m looking for a new sidearm.
I can tell with the recoil control on that caliber that @hickock45 is the older gentleman you shake hands with at church and walk away with a broken hand. 😂
Finally! Been waiting on a Gen 5 G20. Thank you!
Alaskan Ballistics was having reliability issues with the G20 gen5 and recommended cleaning the gun thoroughly out of the box (most Glocks havent needed this in the past). I cleaned my G20 gen5 pretty good out of the box and its had zero malfunctions in a few hundred rounds (4 different kinds of hollow points including underwood, hard cast underwood and 3 types of FMJ).
been waiting for this video. i got mine like in march and no malfunctions whatsoever. luv the videos
I took the Glock armourer course, I don't know whyglock doesn't brag about all the internal improvements, my guess is the malfunction thing is some little tweak in a mag or extractor or something. No doubt in my mind it will be addressed. Sadly seems like you want to avoid the first few months of production. Saw it with gen 4s then later with the 42 (took them 3 tries to get the mags correct). I trust my Glocks to work just perfectly as long as I do my part. But any gun has to prove itself especially the first few months of production.
Rule of thumb for anything.
Never get buy it when it first comes out. Wait for the "bug testing" to take place first
John: "Its a great gun for da fence" 😂
Multiple malfunctions. The one I bought had multiple malfunctions every other mag it seemed. The Gen 5 20 is almost entirely different than the Gen 3/4.
The slide is significantly lighter, there is a lot of steel removed from inside the slide and outside where the front is rounded off and the slide serrations and the slide cut out making for a much faster slide speed and I assume would batter the frame more.
This would also explain why my brass was ejecting literally 30+ feet away, my Gen 3 is only 10 feet with the same load.
The recoil spring is longer and entirely different from the Gen 4 making aftermarket support impossible for the forceable future.
No barrels are available however KKM is working on one and the G20 Gen 5 shares the same lockup as the G29 so any aftermarket G29 extended barrel should work.
I sold mine a couple weeks after having just bought it and bought a Gen 3 Glock 20. No malfunctions after 400 rounds now.
I put about 500 rounds through mine. Luckily no issues for me
Glad I went with the XDM Elite and saved some money.
Had issues with my glock 20 gen 4, the trigger wouldn't reset, no issues with my 19x. Wonder if glock really should just stick to making 9mm for anything newer than gen 3
@@patrickferryman6579 I have a Gen 5 27 and 22 and no issues so far.
Excellent info. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I also had malfunctioning with the Glock 20 Gen 5s. Failure to feed. I purchased a Glock 20 Gen 5, 6 months ago, had malfunctioning and sold it.
About a month ago I figured I might just have had a lemon, and purchased another Glock 20 Gen 5, again had the same malfunctions. Like you I've rarely experienced problems with Glocks.
I decided to buy a new Glock 20 Gen 4 and have never had any issues.
The only changes Glock made, with the 20 gen 5 that might be the problem is, the additional slide cuts and slide optics cut maybe is just light enough to have changed the geometry of the slide to frame?
The 10 round mags use a different fallower that causes the round to tilt down when it’s being extracted from the magazine mostly on the last round that causes more of a issue with hallow points. If you change out the fallower with a standard double stack fallower it fixes the issue just doesn’t show the round count properly through the witness holes
I keep hearing the 15 round mags don’t malfunction at all. Your probably right about the fallower. Whats your favorite kind of 10mm ammo to feed your 20?
Wow Hickok I have been watching your videos and you can shoot just about anything and with amazing consistency. I recently bought a new Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS to replace my S & W Shield +. The first time out while it cycled ammo really well the trigger break was horrible. I mean really hard or stiff! By the time it would finally fire I had lost focus on the shot. So much worse groupings than my Shield. So I bought a new Timney trigger and that made all the difference. That and I also bought it a Holosun SCS Green dot sight. Now it is a nice improvement over my Shield even though I still like my Shield. So far I have fired about 250 rounds of Blazer CCI and some Winchester ammo without any failures. While it's my first Glock after doing some upgrades it is now a really nice pistol to shoot!
I had my first squib this weekend, I'm so glad I noticed it while shooting and I didnt explode my barrel
Standard mags are 15 rounds, these are 10, it been years but didn’t Glock used to have problems with the neutered mags.
new hickock45 = a good night
I’ve seen others have problems with their thumbs riding the slide lock and causing malfunctions on the Gen5 pistols. Something about the amount the slide lock protrudes maybe? That said Hickok has been shooting Glocks longer than some members of Congress are old, so he’d know.
Love Alabama holsters have a few of them myself

Picking one of these up this weekend. Got a Gen 4 29 a few months ago and have fallen in love with 10mm.
Nothing better than a 10mm hitting steel!
My suggestion is to buy a Taurus G3C ..They don't malfunction at half the price...plus they have a better grip...metal sights...better serrations...They just work
It could have possibly been the mag that caused the malfunction… I’ve got one certain Glock mag that causes a malfunction in my 19x every time I use it and never had any problems with any others…
Personal opinion is Glock 20 is the best. Generation three is the one I like with the finish that you can no longer get.
There is a GunBroker auction active right now that says "Glock 10mm pre ban 15 round magazine- Buy now $180.00". I just bought a model 40, it came with 3-15 rounders
Report it as a scam
I fell in love with the front separations on the GEN fives, but that is it. I would stick to GEN three. They are the best. The most reliable. The most proven. They have the most aftermarket support too.
My Gen 1 Model 20 has been flawless for almost 30 years. I developed a load using my Dillon SDB, and once I got the taper set correctly, they never fail to fire.
My grandfather got a gen 5 the day it came out and it is sweet!
The Springfield XDM Elite seems to be the only reliable 10mm pistol rn that's reasonably priced
Sure seems like it's got a lot of flip compared to the Gen 4, and the heavier ammo casings seems like it's on trajectory for the next county.
I wonder did they lighten the spring or slide some?
I really like the slides on the Gen 5s but man have I heard some bad reviews... lot of malfunctions... and I love Glocks... they are not for everyone tho my wife has malfunctions with my Glocks pretty often because shes not a shooter and weighs 100lbs... yes even with stiff arms/wrists and leaned forward still is limp wristing apparently... they arent perfect but the Gen 5s seem to have more issues than Gen3 or 4 idk...
edit: OBVIOUSLY I realize Hickok knows how to shoot a Glock lol... lets be clear on that... man is a absolute unit with a Glock 💯
I love the g20.4
if you spend some time researching the g20 this has been an issue for a long time that glock doesnt acknowledge. I had a glock 20 that constantly malfunctioned with all types of ammo. I even sent it back twice for them to look at and nothing was wrong with it. I made sure I wasn’t limp wristing it and left it all stock. I believe it has something to do with the 10mm rd in a polymer frame.
It really is bad ass how H.45 and the H.Outlaw a shoot so far with hand guns
Not so honest "outlaw" edits his shooting footage Hickok is legendary and accepts his misses (the very few he has)
Always enjoy your video's. You have awesome knowledge only guns you were shooting and also great knowledge and advice for life !!!
I was thinking about purchasing a model 20 gen 5, but now I might wait for awhile and see if this is a recurring problem. You might have to do a chapter 2 in the near future. Thanks Hickok.
He is
This could also be mag related since he was using older gen mags
It seems like a failure to feed, probably due to the mags, as you can see that with the first failure, the extractor failed to grab the casing so that tells me the round wasn't properly seated when the slide went forward. at that point usually the extractor should hold the rim just fine. I would say it's either the mags or the gun needs to be fired more to loosen up a bit.
@@huracan200173 yup
I have owned Glocks 17 gen3, 26 gen3, and currently own a 19X. No problems. But friends buying gen 5s have had problems.

I just sold my Glock 20 gen 5. It’s the only Glock I’ve ever owned with too many malfunctions. 😞
Clean it or it's doest like the. Bullets u using I'm just guessing lol or it to new
I Think Gen 3 Did the Best On Hits… But I Dont Know.. Mr Hickoc Excellent Work..
My Gen4 G40 had a couple failures to feed in the first 200 rounds or so but since then it's been perfect (have probably over 600 rounds through it now). Maybe the large frame Glocks just need more of break-in.
@knfjdkghjudfhsgkjdhf every gun has a malfunction in the beginning eapecially. I call BS
Us poor fellas here in Washington that watch you are only allowed 10 rnds. Thanks for the content. Love watching you channel.
Have to be careful with older generation mags in the gen 5 glocks because they don't have the relief cut for the slide lock on the side. This causes the slide to lock back.

10mm glock for a first? woah you took "go big or go home" quite seriously
I just got a G21 Gen5 and had several nose up FTF malfunctions. Sent is back to Glock. They replaced the ejector and it seems to run fine now. I've read several other youtubers experience malfunctioning with the G20 and G21. There are issues with these models. Buyer beware.
Wow, I ordered my gym five today. Can’t wait to get that bad boy.
I used to own a Gen 4 G20. I didn't care for it. I thought it had too much recoil for the caliber with the standard 180 grain at 1200fps round. Now I'm no sissy. I shoot 44 mag, 357 mag and 454 Casull on a fairly regular basis. The recoil from the G20 wasn't as heavy as a 44 mag but it seemed "sharper". Sometimes even slightly painful to shoot.
Also, mine would not cycle using 200 grain hard-cast from Grizzly. Since I purchased mine for bear defense, I didn't think it was reliable enough to carry for that purpose.
I sold mine and replaced it with a 1911/5" bbl chambered in 10mm. The heavier platform handles the recoil from the 10mm very well. I would equate the recoil to a +P 45acp round. I have run several different loads and bullets through mine without a ftf. I purchased the single-stack (8 round) RIA (ROCK ULTRA FS) in 10mm. They also make a double-stack that will carry 16 rounds. There are also several other makers of 1911 that will chamber them in 10mm.
If you love Glocks, you might like the G20? Personally, I'm not a huge fan but I will agree they are well-made and usually very reliable weapons.
You’re an actual Legend. Respect brother.

G19 is a excellent shooter. Very horrible stopping power. 10mm will knock down a bear 9mm is a great gun but if u need to knock down multiple targets at once in a real situation never would i put that round over a 10mm but thats just me
I own a G 21 Gen 5. I shot it side by side with a Gen 3 and the recoil felt half as bad. Not a single stovepipe or issue. I know that’s the .45 ACP but still…
Was just looking at buying one within the next couple days need a home defense gun,they’re selling out quick here in Texas
Life is good, with Hickok.
Your a great shot dude
im sorry if I missed it but did Hickok try the ammo causing the malfunctions in the gen 3 or 4?
I’ll stick with my Gen 3s. Hopefully, Glock will make the necessary adjustments going forward.
