I think people just trust the brand. When something’s is as critical as a tool to protect your life, sometimes having the most reliable tool from a brand you can trust is comfort.
True but I do find it slightly annoying that people take the brand recognition for face value. Considering pretty much all the guns are reliable now days
Most people can't afford many different pistols, so they buy based on Glock's reputation, but if they had the chance to play with many different pistols...they'd realize that most brands have extremely reliable pistols....usually in a more ergonomic and accurate package. There are many options. It's not like Glock has the secret recipe and everyone else just can't figure out how to make a reliable pistol. I've seen glocks fail too.
The aftermarket aspect is not as big of a sell as it use to be because many other companies pretty much offer the upgrades built in as standard while still coming in at the same price or even lower. Most of them are also just as reliable, some being more so while, again, coming in at the same price or lower than a standard Glock. Not saying Glocks are bad. Bug they really aren't worth the price anymore.
@@leroyatleroys Correct. In my view, even Canik is kicking Glock's ass. More features... significantly less expensive... trigger that rivals Walther... better sights... more ergonomic...

@@GunSperg If I grant you that ALL of that is true, the operative word here is HAD. That was a long time ago. Over 2 years with a P-320 Compact in .45 Auto as my EDC and the pistol has NEVER malfunctioned in many thousands of rounds fired. The finish still looks great after me beating this thing like it owes me money and sweating on it for 2 years. Having looked at a whole lot of information and examining the Fire Control unit with my gunsmith, THREE mechanisms would all have to fail at the same time for the pistol to "just go off by itself". The sear would have to let go of the striker, the secondary sear notch (back-up notch) would have to fail to catch the striker, and the striker block safety plunger would also have to fail, or the firing pin can't reach the primer on a round in the chamber. The only thing that defeats all three of these mechanisms is PULLING THE TRIGGER TO THE REAR.

That’s simple. Glocks are workhorses and will get you through any situation. They are simple to maintain with many less parts than most handguns. Parts are extremely easy to get your hands on. You can build it to the exact way you see fit, or just leave it stock. Holsters and attachments are highly accessible to.

The biggest reason Glock is successful is timing. They got in the game early and marketed directly to LE. Decades later, people associate Glock with LE, e.g. it must be good. Even though countless other guns are just as good, if not better and/or priced better, you'll never be able to beat the Glock name. It's too big at this point and casual owners don't look much beyond that.
I used to think Glocks weren’t that great and that the only really good pistol was the 1911 but when I was around 22 I went to Georgia for a training thing and I stopped at a nearby gun store and behind the counter I saw this really nice 19x and I asked the store clerk if I could see it. He hands me the gun and I get a sense of the weight and shape and feel in my hands and something just clicked in my head, fast forward three years I’m 25 now and I own a Glock 17 Gen 3 which has become my all time favorite handgun I’ve ever shot and/or owned and I’ll probably end up buying a 19x because I think they look really sweet as well
I've heard about Gucci Glock having problems and the very easy solution turned out to be simply to put back the original -stock part. From that point on it, worked...like a Glock.
Of all the pistols that I've owned, Glock is by far the easiest to completely disassemble and put back together. So simple with fewer parts. And I like that.
When I first put the radian afterburner + ramjet on my Glock 45 I had some malfunctions. I kept shooting it instead of freaking out about it, and now it runs flawlessly.
I'm not a fan of the Glock but I have one I have the g45 and I have to say I really like the gun it shoots every time I pull the trigger and it's pretty accurate
I think the polymer of the glock along with the grip angle lends itself to a kind of custom feel, the angle pushes the wrist forward like a natural attack, and the grip flexes in your hand, before the shot, so when it breaks the gun and your hand is symbiotic, it feels good to me. I enjoy 1911s and others, but when I present a glock it kind of molds to my grip and becomes very familiar, and therefore easy to shoot.
I recently did a shooting course in the Czech Republic with four other people and we fired 2000 rounds over two days using the 19X. Only one of the pistols in that time had a couple of malfunctions, and these were rentals that were filthy and had fired so many rounds the rifling was totally worn away from them all. The woman shooting it was limp wristing it all weekend too
I'm not a gun collector or need an "arsenal of weapons" that the left would call it. My opinion ,I just need 4 firearms the following: AR 5.56 ( Rf-85 AM15 Anderson ) 9mm carry ( Walther PPS M2) and the ones i still need 12 gauge ( Mossberg ) 9mm full size ( Glock 17) And I'm good. Thank you for your Glock info
After I saw your video on the Glock meltdown , I had to get a Glock . Even after the plastic recoil rod melted you replaced it with a stainless steel one and it was black in action . Amazing ! Thank you for the videos and updates . 😎👍
I think nobody will read this till the end. Glock work? Glock is reliable? Glock mags are reliable? Almost every gun work almost every gun is reliable just as glock, and glock mags are in fact unreliable because they are polymer and they stuck in the gun more often than any magazine on the market, glock mags are one of the worst mags on the market because all other mags feed gun just as good but they dont stuck in the gun as often as glocks. Glock is popular because it was first succesful polymer pistol and because of movies and video games and today almost any gun is better than glock because they are same reliable but have almost every better feature, but people have unconventional love for glock and they cant admit that most of the other guns are better, only thing that glock have that other guns cant have is simplisity(aftermarket suport they will have when we relpace glock as gold standard). But the end of the video is really good and right, if you try glock and other guns and you like glock more then go buy a glock, just you need to know that some people have problem to shoot other pistol if glock was only pistol that they were using because of different grip angle and actually the diferent way to hold the gun that is why are so many people hate glock ergonomic.
Glock mags are metal lined on the inside. If my glock mags aren't getting stuck at the range while shooting hundreds of bullets then they won't in a defense shooting. Some people are glock fan boys and some are haters. It's clear what you are. It's 2024 and there are many guns I wouldn't trust in a defensive scenario. Also glock mags are one of the best on the market I have no idea what you've been smoking. Look up how many pcc rifles support glock mags. That's for a reason
@@johnhatchel9681 Not for me don’t get me wrong I loved my SIG but it had failures to extract all the time. The only stuff that worked really well was 124 grain +p ammo so I traded it for a Glock 19. The Glocks just work…
This is really not a difficult question to answer. 1. Reliability. 2. Affordability. 3. Durability. 4. Aftermarket support and parts availability. 5. Magazine compatibility
The real reason that Glock lost was, they didn't meet the specifications the military asked for. They wanted a convertible pistol, one that could easily converted to other calibers...
@@chrisclark5204 The Glock submitted DID have a manual safety, but it was NOT a modular pistol, which is what was specified. The real reason though is that Sig underbid Glock by like a hundred million. We all know that "military grade" means it was built by the low bidder.
I'm a retired LEO and carried the Glock 22 everyday. The only malfunctions I've ever experienced were the one's set up by our instructor during training. I trusted my life with one and still do, see no reason to change.
The 32 round magazines have zero to do with me buying Glocks. I buy Glocks because they run out the box without question, without fail. If you want a gun that works all the time buy a Glock.
Every now and then I’ll come across a product that’s done in an unexpected way, and my mind immediately shouts “this makes sense.” Glock’s design is one such example. First, it felt “right” the instant I picked it up. It came apart for cleaning with surprising ease. Once apart there were very few pieces and they went back together easily. I immediately had confidence in the pistol. As I looked at it longer, I liked it more. The “no worries” split trigger for safety. (A crisis is no time to wonder which way to flip a little lever). I picked up on the light weight. The plastic felt immediately comfortable - neither hot nor cold, neither sharp nor slick. Easy maintenance with few worries about corrosion. Fewer places for dirt to accumulate.
I'm an avid firearm collector, with well over 400 firearm's in my collection. I was never brand myopic with any items... especially firearms. When day on a whim at a gun store I purchased a G19 Gen5. I had a Gen1 & Gen2 G17 but those are collection pieces. I hate finger grooves on Any Grip, which is why I never bothered with the Glocks. When I fired my G19 (gen5) it felt rather natural to me. I was very accurate with the pistol. In the end, I discovered I shoot Glock's really well and it took less effort than other pistols I have. So now I have a Gen5. G19, G17, G45 (2 of them) and G48 (ccw). Not a fan of the Sig 320 line, I do like the CZ P10 line. Now the Gaston has passed away, I'm curious to see what comes of Glock. With they enter the rifle category or PCC, PDW, etc. When Bill Rugar died, the company began to do things that Bill would have never allowed. So hopefully Glock does more than just pistols.
I got my G17 MOS because my gun shop said it’s more prevalent so parts are more prevalent. I wish I had gotten a G19 MOS because it will take more styles of mags.
Grandmother why does grand dad have limp. Because he bought a sig sauer p320. Do you think he would listen to me when I told him buy and carry a glock, no.
As for the triggers...glocks are designed ss service weapons, you don't want a lite trigger in that realm... As Clint Smith said...when your heart rate is 250 a heavy trigger isn't going to be a problem...he used other words😉

I carried a 19 for years. I like Glocks and 1911's. I tried others, and they don't stay around. The changes I do to my Glocks is the sights and sometimes the connector, otherwise they have remained stock. The Glock design is just simple and reliable, and the aftermarket is unmatched. You can stay stock or go full house custom, or anything in between. When I started shooting handguns, we did not have the choices you do now. Pick what you like and what works for you. Great video
" *the aftermarket is unmatched* " Didn't you just say you leave your Glocks stock? If so, what good is that huge aftermarket? Here's my issue with Glock. 40 years and 5 generations of incremental improvements, so there is no excuse for a Glock to be anything less than the best pistol, period. Best sights, best trigger, best texture, best ergos, best finish, most standard features, and all at a great price. But they're not...
Hated the Glock until I got the first on hand and after the first pull of the trigger. Been loving them ever since…
หลายเดือนก่อน +1
Glock is not my first choice, but I have nothing negative to say about them. The grip angle feels "wonky" to me. My preference is a CZ/CZ clone, but a Glock is a rock solid choice and will work just fine. I am just glad we have so many choices.
I had a g19 gen 5...at 60 yrs old it wasn't that easy to break it down...i installed a Lone Wolf slide lock and then it was much easier. 2mm wider than the stock one...was the only internal chsnge i made.
Great talking points for a Glock! I Have had my Glock 17 Gen 2 for 35 years with no issues! They are worth having one or more in your collection. Stay strong!
I have two Gen 2 G-17's, neither of which I bought anywhere near new. One made in 1991 and the other in 1995. Happy as happy can be to have them. The 1995 was a Florida Fish and Wildlife Service trade in I picked up in the early 2000's. That was my first foray into 9mm. Glock pistols. Up to that point I'd only owned 1 Glock, the .45acp. G-30.

Never have I ever seen the perfect explanation for loving the simplicity of Glocks.
Me too I slept on Glock for a long time and bought a bunch of other stuff now my Glock 17
Thanks Eric
Happy Veterans Day Bro
Cause theyre reliable
Almost every modern semi pistol is just as reliable as glock if not more.
@@waterhead1359not true lol.
@Hadouken5150 I can tell you're a shooter
honest outlaw or Gerand hasn't put Glock at top of any list including reliability
@mississippibilly_ agreed
Of all the pistols that I've owned, Glock is by far the easiest to completely disassemble and put back together. So simple with fewer parts. And I like that.
Gaston Glock was a artist and we the public where blessed by his masterpiece
I have a 23 gen 3
Me too.
There are so many reasons. One of my primary reason is simplicity. How easy to maintain can you get? How about parts availability? Amazing.
They just flat out perform. Definitely not pretty or ergonomic for some people, but they're just reliable. Simple as that.
When I first put the radian afterburner + ramjet on my Glock 45 I had some malfunctions. I kept shooting it instead of freaking out about it, and now it runs flawlessly.
I installed the radian afterburner + ramjet on my Glock 47 and it runs perfectly.
I'm not a fan of the Glock but I have one I have the g45 and I have to say I really like the gun it shoots every time I pull the trigger and it's pretty accurate
Thanks!
I have carried the same for over twenty years, it just works.
I think the polymer of the glock along with the grip angle lends itself to a kind of custom feel, the angle pushes the wrist forward like a natural attack, and the grip flexes in your hand, before the shot, so when it breaks the gun and your hand is symbiotic, it feels good to me. I enjoy 1911s and others, but when I present a glock it kind of molds to my grip and becomes very familiar, and therefore easy to shoot.
Pull trigger, goes bang ratio is higher than anything else. No brainer for self defense.
I recently did a shooting course in the Czech Republic with four other people and we fired 2000 rounds over two days using the 19X. Only one of the pistols in that time had a couple of malfunctions, and these were rentals that were filthy and had fired so many rounds the rifling was totally worn away from them all. The woman shooting it was limp wristing it all weekend too
Top 3 reasons for Glock
1- Track Record
2- Commonality
3- Simplicity
I'm not a gun collector or need an "arsenal of weapons" that the left would call it. My opinion ,I just need 4 firearms the following:
AR 5.56 ( Rf-85 AM15 Anderson )
9mm carry ( Walther PPS M2)
and the ones i still need
12 gauge ( Mossberg )
9mm full size ( Glock 17)
And I'm good.
Thank you for your Glock info
Try a Glock 19X or 19X it’s basically the best of both 17 and 19.
After I saw your video on the Glock meltdown , I had to get a Glock . Even after the plastic recoil rod melted you replaced it with a stainless steel one and it was black in action . Amazing ! Thank you for the videos and updates . 😎👍
I think nobody will read this till the end.
Glock work? Glock is reliable? Glock mags are reliable? Almost every gun work almost every gun is reliable just as glock, and glock mags are in fact unreliable because they are polymer and they stuck in the gun more often than any magazine on the market, glock mags are one of the worst mags on the market because all other mags feed gun just as good but they dont stuck in the gun as often as glocks. Glock is popular because it was first succesful polymer pistol and because of movies and video games and today almost any gun is better than glock because they are same reliable but have almost every better feature, but people have unconventional love for glock and they cant admit that most of the other guns are better, only thing that glock have that other guns cant have is simplisity(aftermarket suport they will have when we relpace glock as gold standard).
But the end of the video is really good and right, if you try glock and other guns and you like glock more then go buy a glock, just you need to know that some people have problem to shoot other pistol if glock was only pistol that they were using because of different grip angle and actually the diferent way to hold the gun that is why are so many people hate glock ergonomic.
Glock mags are metal lined on the inside. If my glock mags aren't getting stuck at the range while shooting hundreds of bullets then they won't in a defense shooting. Some people are glock fan boys and some are haters. It's clear what you are. It's 2024 and there are many guns I wouldn't trust in a defensive scenario.
Also glock mags are one of the best on the market I have no idea what you've been smoking. Look up how many pcc rifles support glock mags. That's for a reason
The Swedish police have recently switched from Sig Sauer to Glock.
Me too I had a SIG and switched to Glock.
That was a downgrade.
@@johnhatchel9681 Not for me don’t get me wrong I loved my SIG but it had failures to extract all the time. The only stuff that worked really well was 124 grain +p ammo so I traded it for a Glock 19. The Glocks just work…
Sig has Ai that shoots the pistol for you 😅
@Lumpia_In_Texas Dumb joke and it's been proven not true
Eric is looking good and healthy these days! Seems much different than a few years back and WAY back from when I started watching in the late 10s.
Glock: we’re not Sig

Man thank you for the content first off, second Where has Chad been at?
Yes, whatever happened to Chad?
Super busy running Argos Ordnance. Although it would be awesome if Chad would come in just for a sit down at some point to do a video. I miss him.
@@SpartanSoldierofHEAVEN He was lost in the divorce.
YES we miss Chad!
This is really not a difficult question to answer. 1. Reliability. 2. Affordability. 3. Durability. 4. Aftermarket support and parts availability. 5. Magazine compatibility
6. Simplicity (field strip), 7. Light weight (for carry, and especially with FAB ultimag), 8. Can fire m/39B ammo without breaking down like the rest
The real reason that Glock lost was, they didn't meet the specifications the military asked for. They wanted a convertible pistol, one that could easily converted to other calibers...
I believe it was also that the military wanted a manual safety and Glock didn't offer one.
They were cheaper 🙂
And how often will they convert them? Never. Pretty sure that was a spec put in by a Sig lover just to win.
@@chrisclark5204 The Glock submitted DID have a manual safety, but it was NOT a modular pistol, which is what was specified. The real reason though is that Sig underbid Glock by like a hundred million. We all know that "military grade" means it was built by the low bidder.
Glocks have a very high tendency, NOT TO JAM "
"It never jams."
Apparently people haven't seen a lot of police shooting videos on TH-cam.
I'm a retired LEO and carried the Glock 22 everyday. The only malfunctions I've ever experienced were the one's set up by our instructor during training. I trusted my life with one and still do, see no reason to change.
They have the style and charm of a 2×4, but they flat-out work.
Quality product at a reasonable price.
The 32 round magazines have zero to do with me buying Glocks. I buy Glocks because they run out the box without question, without fail. If you want a gun that works all the time buy a Glock.
I am a Glock convert. Back when Glock first came out they were put down. But they were proven to be so reliable, I've owed one for over twenty years.
Sig had less malfunctions better accuracy better ergonomics excetera excetera.
Every now and then I’ll come across a product that’s done in an unexpected way, and my mind immediately shouts “this makes sense.” Glock’s design is one such example.
First, it felt “right” the instant I picked it up. It came apart for cleaning with surprising ease. Once apart there were very few pieces and they went back together easily.
I immediately had confidence in the pistol.
As I looked at it longer, I liked it more. The “no worries” split trigger for safety. (A crisis is no time to wonder which way to flip a little lever). I picked up on the light weight. The plastic felt immediately comfortable - neither hot nor cold, neither sharp nor slick. Easy maintenance with few worries about corrosion. Fewer places for dirt to accumulate.
I'm an avid firearm collector, with well over 400 firearm's in my collection. I was never brand myopic with any items... especially firearms. When day on a whim at a gun store I purchased a G19 Gen5. I had a Gen1 & Gen2 G17 but those are collection pieces. I hate finger grooves on Any Grip, which is why I never bothered with the Glocks. When I fired my G19 (gen5) it felt rather natural to me. I was very accurate with the pistol. In the end, I discovered I shoot Glock's really well and it took less effort than other pistols I have. So now I have a Gen5. G19, G17, G45 (2 of them) and G48 (ccw). Not a fan of the Sig 320 line, I do like the CZ P10 line.
Now the Gaston has passed away, I'm curious to see what comes of Glock. With they enter the rifle category or PCC, PDW, etc. When Bill Rugar died, the company began to do things that Bill would have never allowed. So hopefully Glock does more than just pistols.
Why not Glocks? 😂❤
Because it's not 1996 anymore there's better options these days
@ I like the “Toyota Camry” of guns though. 🤷🏻♀️ Also, nothing says you have to only own Glocks. I only own two.
@@CF.I don't own any. Never owned a Toyota Camry either. But that is a great analogy.
Because they're overpriced for what they are. That's why.
@@weezem that’s fair,what’s your favorite brand of gun that is also a good value?
I got my G17 MOS because my gun shop said it’s more prevalent so parts are more prevalent. I wish I had gotten a G19 MOS because it will take more styles of mags.
Happy belated 'Glocktober'. Glock is always the answer. Glock has transformed from a pistol to a platform.
Grandmother why does grand dad have limp. Because he bought a sig sauer p320. Do you think he would listen to me when I told him buy and carry a glock, no.
Glocks aren't pretty that's for sure but damn they work.
@@H.1965-s8p If glockareina heard you talking this way...
@mattyb5817 😂
Dude if it weren’t for that little hump on the grip of the G19 it would ACTUALLY feel comfortable in my hand. Wish I can just sand it down lol
You can, I have seen several different companies offering grip contouring. Just look for that service and they should pop up.
@ bet
As for the triggers...glocks are designed ss service weapons, you don't want a lite trigger in that realm...
As Clint Smith said...when your heart rate is 250 a heavy trigger isn't going to be a problem...he used other words😉
reliability.
For me: Price, MOS, reliability, parts availability, magazine interchangeability, multiple models fit the same holster.
The prices here in California for gen 3 Glocks is criminal.
Not a Glock fanboy but out of all of my hand guns the Glock 19X is my favorite.
I could have written the post. I own two Glocks 42 and 48. Both great but the trigger in the 48 had to go.
@@BirdDogey1what did you replace it with?
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290 Apex. I saw a polymer one for about $60. The gen 5 Gs are drop in triggers. I have horrible fine motor skills and could do it. Night and day from the stock.
"Fan boy! Fan boy!
😂😂😂😂😂
Not a glock guy but definitely appreciate their caliber selection.
I carry a g43 and its has not had a single malfunction in over 1500 rounds, 500 back to back at one point.
Safety, Reliability, & Availability. They are everywhere and if I ever had to scrounge parts, mags, etc they can be easily found. ALSO, the PCC compatibility is a huge factor for me as well. One of my SHTF Kits: CMMG Dissent MkGS 9mm SBR + G19X MOS
Another advantage is the striker not being fully cocked when a round is chambered. (Yeah, I know theres a striker block)
Eric I am glad you are back.
I carried a 19 for years. I like Glocks and 1911's. I tried others, and they don't stay around. The changes I do to my Glocks is the sights and sometimes the connector, otherwise they have remained stock. The Glock design is just simple and reliable, and the aftermarket is unmatched. You can stay stock or go full house custom, or anything in between. When I started shooting handguns, we did not have the choices you do now. Pick what you like and what works for you. Great video
" *the aftermarket is unmatched* "
Didn't you just say you leave your Glocks stock? If so, what good is that huge aftermarket?
Here's my issue with Glock. 40 years and 5 generations of incremental improvements, so there is no excuse for a Glock to be anything less than the best pistol, period. Best sights, best trigger, best texture, best ergos, best finish, most standard features, and all at a great price.
But they're not...
I have a G45 with Aimpoint Acro P2 on top. Great Pistol!! And a gen 3 G19 for concealed carry.
Hated the Glock until I got the first on hand and after the first pull of the trigger. Been loving them ever since…
Glock is not my first choice, but I have nothing negative to say about them. The grip angle feels "wonky" to me. My preference is a CZ/CZ clone, but a Glock is a rock solid choice and will work just fine. I am just glad we have so many choices.
#1 reason I chose Glock, they are popular and there are a lot of them out there.
I had a g19 gen 5...at 60 yrs old it wasn't that easy to break it down...i installed a Lone Wolf slide lock and then it was much easier. 2mm wider than the stock one...was the only internal chsnge i made.
Because parts availability and mag cross compatibility. THE END
Great talking points for a Glock! I Have had my Glock 17 Gen 2 for 35 years with no issues! They are worth having one or more in your collection. Stay strong!
I have two Gen 2 G-17's, neither of which I bought anywhere near new. One made in 1991 and the other in 1995. Happy as happy can be to have them. The 1995 was a Florida Fish and Wildlife Service trade in I picked up in the early 2000's. That was my first foray into 9mm. Glock pistols. Up to that point I'd only owned 1 Glock, the .45acp. G-30.
I'm not a huge fan of Glock, but I do own eleven of them. I find other brands more pleasant to shoot, but my Glocks always go bang.
Boy, that's a head scratcher...
If you go up to Wright Patterson Airforce base, I have seen them using the M17
PERFECTION
Practicallity
Track record
Parts & holster availability
Price
Simplicity
Seamless, basic design.
People who complain about Glock triggers need more training with it
@ there are people who buy Staccato and think it’s a better firearm therefore they don’t need as much training
You pull the trigger, they go bang. Nuff said
Honda civic of the gun world
Honda Civic with no coolant leaks 😂
I did change my trigger to my Glock 17. Also the recoil rod springs. But it did improve the performance.
Because they r perfection
They're glorified Hi Points
