The front of the slide where the recoil spring assembly inserts is reinforced and unbreakable, whereas in all other Glock pistols, this thin ring of metal is a weak point known to break if dropped nose down.
The gun I tried to get the Glock engineers to build fifteen years ago when I had some connections. Finally gave up when they introduce the G19x and G45, which is backwards, and took a first year pre mos Gen 5 G17 and did a grip chop and fitted the G19 backstraps. Been carrying that for almost 6 years now, and everybody that shoots it asks the same thing. Why doesn't Glock make this gun? I guess better late than never.
Hello, I hope all is well. I just want to say, I absolutely enjoy your videos. You best gun reviews on TH-cam. Keep up the great work and please stay safe, my TH-cam friends..
@@wharris7594 Not quite, but I get what you mean. I don’t actually want a Polymer 80 though. I’m not a fan. It’s an issue of troubleshooting and warranty work. I’ve built and owned some Polymer 80’s that worked fine. Other builds never actually worked no matter what I did to them. When you roll your own, you assume ALL responsibility for how well the firearm runs. If you can never get it to work, you don’t really have a firearm. You just have a pile of components that look like a firearm shaped object that don’t do anything. When I purchased from reputable dealers and manufacturers, whenever I had trouble I shipped the item back to them so they could deal with it.
Why? The frame is usually what prints for concealed carry. That's why the G45 didn't make any sense to me. If you want more ammo capacity, get a 26 and put in a 33rd mag or a drum. Lol.
Thanks for the vid. I think the 49 would be perfect as a full size iwb carry piece. The long sight view with the concealable grip. Fun at the range and something you can depend on
I like these with the longer slide and shorter grip. I would also buy one with the shorter Glock 26 grip and longer Glock 19 slide as long as it keeps the G19 light rail.
I’m looking into getting into Glock’s. Would the slides on the 45 and the 49 be interchangeable and work? If so that’s my go to plan right now, “4 guns” for the price of 2
Overall, they handled and shot pretty much the same. The longer grip on the 49 will influence how well you can concel it for carry but neither seemed noticeably different in recoil or accuracy.
MSRP was quoted at $745 but my FFL ordered from Lypseys' one for $645 after taxes , 4473 cost , ect. The Gen 5 MOS Glocks all about $100 more than non optic versions. I'd love to see Glock bring back the RTF texture as a option for us who want more aggressive texture.
This is what I’m trying to see, I’m looking to get into glock’s and if they work interchangeably that the combo I’m going for, “4 guns” for the price of 2
Beautiful vid thanks for the info my brother love you. Which type of LaserMax laser will fit for the Glock 49? I went on the LaserMax website and did not see any LaserMax lasers for the 49
Now that Gaston Glock has passed away, perhaps we will see more of the ergonomic & cosmetic changes that the Glock detractors say are needed to update the design (as well as metal sights out of the box, more refined triggers, and an optional external safety). Personally, I will continue to be a loyal Glock customer even if they don't "innovate" in a significant way.
They dropped the ball with this one. It would have been nice to release a new frame with an extended the dusk cover to utilize compatibility with the 17 slides and avoid the goofy dusk cover look. We already this with the 47 slide and 19 frames.
Love how everyone hates on Glock but can't tell me a better pistol. They may all look the same but all those "pretty" firearms are just that.... pretty. Get butt hurt if u must but Glock is KING for a reason.
I think Glocks are underrated in the looks department. I wouldn't say they look better than guns like a 1911 or a Beretta 92, but they look better than pretty much every polymer frame gun to come out since, with the exception of the USP.
A good reliable handgun just like every other Glock I’m sure, however I would like to see Glock make some other types of handguns for once. Surly a massive company such as Glock could design completely different handguns.
If you make too many changes, then it no longer becomes a Glock. It’s a reliable tool. No need to change anything to be honest. It’s like the AR15 of the pistol world. Can change whatever you like.
Not true, look at companies like Springfield Armoury or CZ just to name two , they have manufactured striker fired and other types of pistols like the Springfield Armoury 1911 and 2011 for example. But they are still Springfields or CZ or whatever.
@@conservativesniperhunter7439That’s just not what Glock does. If you want a Springfield and want a plate form they offer, grab one of those. People grab Glocks because they’re Glocks. People know what they’re getting. They’re the #1 selling handgun for a reason. Whatever they’re doing works.
@@ryanranard5187 iirc Glock's market share has slipped quite a bit. They still sell a ton of guns, but Sig is outselling them recently in the US market. Glock used to make up something like 1/3rd of the polymer pistol market. Back in the 00's there were really only a few good polymer pistols, now theres a ton. I think Glock manages their brand a lot more like Apple. Limited selection, not necessarily the most advanced features, but you know you are getting a polished product that works.
Why? There are plenty of lights now that fit perfectly with the 19-lenth dust cover. And doing that would require Glock to make a whole new frame. You know they ain't doin that shit, man.
I completely agree, the ass end, where the frame meets the slide baseplate looks terrible also. Not into optics so the optics cut out looks shitty and overall I’m concerned gen 6 will look even uglier… Glocks already we’re ugly but gen 5 made it even worse. Simple and minimalist is perfect. Everyone bitching about innovation should go for a different gun
Glock is an incredibly successful design, but recent “new” models like the G45, 47, 49 remind me of GM in the ‘80s: Slight variations existed between Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile & Cadillac, but there was little brand differentiation save for front/rare fasciae and trim. GM persisted in this homogenized approach to design because it was profitable… until it wasn’t. FORTUNE ran a cover story in 1983 making fun of how all GM passenger cars looked the same. It was titled, “ Will Success Spoil General Motors?” It’s a question that maybe Gaston & Glock’s board should consider.
The G45 is the civilian version of a military pistol & G47 is the Border Patrol Pistol. Cant blame glock for not innovating when they are just bringing contract guns to the public
@@AB1138-You raise a good point. Glock does create slight model variations specifically for government contracts. My point is that at some point only slight variations of even a proven product can eventually lead to a company’s decline. I have owned several Glocks over the last 3 decades, and I think they are a great design, but IMO they are all basically different iterations of the same design: the G17. Lack of innovation can kill successful companies. I would hate for that to happen to Glock.
@tntanto I totally agree. This gun should have been out long ago, and we are still waiting on the rotating action g46 & the gen 5 g40 10mm. I would love to see more niche guns from them. I'm only considering the g49 because I have the g17 & performance trigger.
this is all nonsense....ALL GLOCK HAS TO DO IS replace the standard parts with their optional replacement parts and have those parts to be standard parts. By doing this Glock would update and improve all their weapons......
Glock R&D must be overwhelmed..... Nothing new here, same old same old. When are they going to put out some upgraded models so we don't basically need to rebuild them to bring them up to rival firearms competition?
I think the G49 looks unfinished and rushed. Glock needs to lengthen frame to match the top slide. I'll stick with G19. Bring us the rotating barrel Glock, Glock.
It likely may not work correctly as there are slight geometry differences in the barrel lugs, that is why our "frankengun" in the first teaser video did not go together properly.
I love that Glock is finally coming out with all the new designs from 2014.
😂
You are a hell of a shooter ! The accuracy in the beginning is not easy let's GO
That was some good shootin'
Neat, I’m interested. I already own a G45 so this would let me have 4 guns for the price of 2. Winner!
Glock 49 is basically like G47 but with a G19 frame. Same slide for G49 and G47. I have a G19 and G47, it’s basically the same change out.
Which one do you prefer?
@@devn3813 i prefer my 19 slide on the 47 frame
But thats basically a glock 45
And the glock 49 (19L) configuration isnt bad at all
@@hondaservicecenter thanks

I actually want Glock to make a 9mm gun with a 26 sized slide and a 19 sized frame. Now, that would be awesome!
26x🫡😭
That would make too much sense, an actual concealed carry gun. I emailed them about the possibility of a "1926", and they said no plans currently.
People already make the 26X with polymer80's

Glock has more sequels than Sylvester Stallone 😂
More than Fast & Furious, Friday the Thirteenth and Final Destination combined.

Is posssible😊
Glock finally listens to customers. How about getting rid of the plastic sights?
Coming 2070
I’m deciding between G49 and G19 for home defense. Did you notice any difference in accuracy or recoil between those two?
Overall, they handled and shot pretty much the same. The longer grip on the 49 will influence how well you can concel it for carry but neither seemed noticeably different in recoil or accuracy.

I bet it shoots like a Glock
A Glock is a Glock is a Glock , and I kinda admire the consistency
Wouldn't that be a G47 slide?
Thanks for showing this new Glock. Very interested.
Love your videos Sir. Informative but to the point. I’ve bought soo many Glocks because of you. Lol
Could you show us the combo builds of the G45 and G49? So you can build a regular G19 and G17.

May we have this in a gen 5 MOS 10mm please? Glock 50: with 40cal and 357 sig conversion barrels, and a 45 cal upper kit!!!

Kids are competing with glocks, professionals are using glocks yet somehow grown ups are complaining about how a gun feels.......unreal
Really looking at getting this 49 gen 5 or the 19C gen 4
I can’t find any Glock 19c for sale they all sold out
I was gonna buy the 49 but went with the 19c gen 4 … way better pistol
No reason you can't buy more.
@@MyCatCarriesAGlockyea got the 30 gen 5 now still want the 49😅
So...Glock just said...fck making a rifle let's just make the same gun...with different dimensions
They dropped the ball with this one. It would have been nice to release a new frame with an extended the dusk cover to utilize compatibility with the 17 slides and avoid the goofy dusk cover look. We already this with the 47 slide and 19 frames.
Fun fact, the Gen3 Glock 19 slide will function and fire on the 47 and 49 polymer frame
I put some slim 6.1 OEM Night sights and they are excellent!
Glock siempre por delante 🏆Larga vida a Don Gastón 💪
Saludos desde 🇦🇷
A Glock is a Glock. They go bang 99% of the time wet, dirty, or greasy which is why cops, militaries and everyone uses them.
Nice, but is IT better than new echelon.
Yes, because it is not made in Croatia.
I have all gen 3....17,21sf,22....no front serrations...and a 42 gen 4.
You have the best gun review’s on TH-cam. I apologize, I left out some words on the first comment..

@6393dude Very true. Everyone is different but I LOVE the looks of Glocks
I have G45 and G49, switch slides, and they become G19 and G47.
4 Glocks for the price of 2😊
Is this slide compatible with the 19x frame ?
Yeah

Think back to the 90's and early 00's. It was Sig 226's, B92's, and Glocks. Not much else has really survived from that era.
I'm a Glock fanboy but am interested in this model the least.
It's not on Glock's website.
You really reworked that gen 4 19 to be a gen 5 sooo bad lol
If they would get big name actors for these animes they can see more in the box office but I get it they want they own ppl in the movie 🤷🏾♂️
They still fucked it up. Should've made it a full length dust cover.
Why? There are plenty of lights now that fit perfectly with the 19-lenth dust cover.
And doing that would require Glock to make a whole new frame. You know they ain't doin that shit, man.
I appreciate a full length dust cover. Aesthetically it juat looks better to me
polish the bar made zero sense there is a gap to the frame :D
