Gaston and Hickok are two legends. Rest in Peace Mr. Glock!
RIP
Great tribute! “I’d rather have my Glock and not need it, than need my Glock and not have it…”
Like a condom
Rather get Caught with It, Then Without it.
剣は一生に一度必要となる場合でも、あなたは常にそれを着用する必要があります。 - Even if you need a sword once in your life, you should always wear it.
All these years later and Glock still the undisputed choice for reliability and simplicity when going to war! RIP Gaston!
"It's better to have a gun and need it, then to not have a gun and not need it"
RIP Gaston, he’s up there with Browning, Stoner, and Kalashnikov having an endless range day
You took The very words from my mouth sir 👍
Don't forget Mauser
I'll add Sam Colt and Bill Ruger.
Not Bill Ruger.
@@toddm9501
Don't forget about the great Uziel Gal
My first Glock was after I graduated from the NYPD police academy. 25 years later retirement and all I’m still hooked. RiP Mr. Gaston Glock.👏🏾 Wonderful tribute ❤
25 years of cramming state sanctioned tyranny down the publics throat. No telling how many people you jailed just for having a gun. NYPD folks. One of the most corrupt, pathetic, infringement enforcement agencies ever founded. Congratulations.
My agency went to Glock 22 .40 caliber. They serial numbers is unique to my agency and it also has my Designated Service Number with our badge laser engraved by Glock. The department gave it to me upon my retirement. It’s a great weapon.
I brought me a Glock 26 as my off duty when I got out of the Academy also.Enjoy your retirement girl I got my three quarters and haven’t looked back
@@marksmith9176that’s awesome
Im from a new generation of gunsmiths.
My first pistol was a Glock 17 i bought in 1996.
Godspeed Gaston Glock. Man was a genius.
Hickok you actually made me respect that man. Thank you and RIP to the legend!
@@craigfinley2507 You don't?
@@craigfinley2507 more of a Sig man, but I respect the Glocks no doubt. Owned over 5 or so
My first pistol was a Glock 17 and I will never get rid of it. Rip to Mr. Glock your name will live on forever
My first firearm was a Glock 19 gen 3. Had it for two years now and it still works like a charm. Thank you Mr. Glock 🙌🏽
I got my Glock 19 Gen 3 back in 2015. Absolutely love it.
Gen 3 is the best never get rid of them! Gen 4 will hit you in the face with ejected casings and gen 5 has a massive see through gap between the slide and frame and destroys chambered rounds.
@@Gunsandbunsmma "Gen 4 will hit you in the face with ejected casings" What? I've had mine for several years and put countless rounds through it, not once did I ever experience anything like that
@@Gunsandbunsmma I love my Glock Gen 5. It is smooth shooting and I have never had a problem of any kind with it.
@@Mr-Bogssame here, I love the finger grooves on the gen 4
My first Glock was a 17 and I love it and still have it today. Awesome tribute
same Gen 4 for me
One of the greatest names ever in the firearms scene. And Mr. Glock was pretty famous too.
Nice tribute from HickGlock45.
My Glock 17 is 20 years old and has never had a malfunction. I also have a 26 and a 43 that have never malfunctioned. Great reliability!!!
The first handgun I bought back in 1988 was a newly released Gen2 Glock 19. I've been carrying a G19 of one generation or the next ever since. I have a couple dozen other handguns for different purposes, but I'll probably always carry a G19. They're simple as can be, relatively inexpensive, very proven, and they just work. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I worked at a gunshop where the gunsmiths were sent through a Glock Armorer's course. A couple years later the owner was absolutely pissed off because we still hadn't made a single billable hour in repairing any Glocks!
Nice tribute! Greets from austria, homeland of glock. We lost one of our greatest engineers.
I am French, and have been watching videos of this great man for years. I am sad to learn of his passing.
Gaston Glock died, not Hicock
@@Crushenator500 Thank you for this clarification, the title of the video is confusing once translated into my language. I am happy to hear this news.
I bought my first Glock in the late eighties, now I own pretty much every 9mm model! Some I own 3 different generations. I’ve never had any problems with my Glocks. I like different brands of pistols, but I trust a Glock more than any other brand! RIP GG! You changed the game!
An early adopter! Wow. 😲
RIP Gaston Glock! Glock a name up there with Colt, Marlin, Browning, Smith and Wesson, Beretta, etc. I have been a Glock owner since the early 90s, I love many many firearms from many different countries, if I were in need of a hand gun to save my life it would be a Glock, never had a Glock not go bang except for a cartridge problem. Thirty plus years of Glock ownership and probably two hundred thousand Glock rounds of love and respect for their firearms! My favorite Glock 20, favorite carry Glock 43X, favorite duty gun Glock 45.
Lol. I was a Glock hater, saying they are so blocky never having shot or owned one. After shooting a friends and buying my own I am a forever Glock guy. Thank you! Great video
There are alot of guns that a prettier, More ergonomic, manage recoil better, have better triggers, come with better sights..
But as far as a fighting pistol. A real combat sidearm. The glock is finest ever made.
I always liked how blocky they are
The slim model 43x mos looks amazing
@@VizslaHutYeees, same here 😂
Glocks are still my gold standard for 'most businesslike handgun ever made.'
Gaston Glock changed the game so much. RIP to a legend
Glock killed aesthetic features and helped normalize boring plastic guns as the industry standard.
@@WinterInTheForest awesome!
Hk did it first.
@@WinterInTheForestpost your practiscore. Bet you don’t shoot worth a damn.
@@WinterInTheForest
He was a utilitarian, as alot of men are. I don't need a pretty toy to show off, i need a light rugged pistol that goes bang when i pull the trigger.
I've been watching the channel since the "Glock Top Models" video and that table of polymer reminded me of that. It's crazy that on the 19th of this month that video will be 14 years old
Great tribute. RIP Mr. Gaston Glock. I will keep one by my side until the end of time.
Amen !
RIP to an icon. Great video Hickok, you are an icon yourself. ❤👍💯
Just bought the G19 ...glad I could support the company at such a sad time. Hope he's looking down from heaven and smiling at us
Congratulation! Even with all the great reliable pistols out there today, the Glock 19 is one incredible firearm.
One of the greatest hand gun manufacturers ever developed. I absolutely love my Glock 17. My question now is, what’s in store now for Glock? Who will take over, own it? I know his son, daughter, & wife own a majority share, will they take over? Will there be changes? If so, will it be for the better? If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it, as they say. However, I hope they’ll continue to thrive!
My first centerfire pistol was a G20gen2 I bought in late 1991. Still have it. Around 3000 rounds have gone through it. Hard-hitting and reliable as a hammer.
Also have a blue-label G17gen5 which is a range workhorse with the stock and often-sneered-at plastic sights, but it hits what I aim at just fine.
I was a Glock hater. Now? I love My 19C, 20 and 21 Gen 4 so much. Gaston was an awesome human. May He rest in peace. This is a very nice video, Hickok. Thank You.
Mr Hickok, your years of GLOCK coverage has been memorable & informative. Todays "Tribute" to its inventor Mr Gaston Glock is respectful & very very nice..... My 12yrs of GLOCK ownership probably started because of your Videos & positive coverage. My GLOCK hat tip to you Mr Hickok and to Mr GG for my 25-ish GLOCKS :) they have been and are: 17s - 19s - 26 - 34 - 43s - 43X - 45 - 48 - 21 - 44 & "25th Anniversary G17" / Consecutive serial numbered 19s / "G17 Get 1 Classic." I'm not done yet, but then one never knows when its their last day here on Mother Earth. Y'ALL be safe & well 🌎👍
I knew you would do tribute. Kept seeing comments wondering why you hadn't done although it takes time filming, editing and posting... great video
Rest in peace Gaston Glock . You won't be forgotten.. my favorite is the gen 3 g19 . great tribute Mr Hickok45, you're the man!! Very knowledgeable.
I've got a handful of Glock pistols. Sure I like other brands and types, but these go boom every time. I don't leave home without one or two.
“Let’s smoke some pot, for Gaston Glock” 😂❤
my first pistol was a Gen 3 Glock 34. RIP Mr. Glock. Nice tribute Mr. Hickok
Life is Good, Indeed
Hickock, you are the reason why I have more Glocks in my safe than any other polymer pistols.
Thanks for a great video and tribute to Gaston Glock. I own two Glock 17s, and I have put thousands of rounds through both of them and have never had a single issue.
Your stories are not boring listening to your personal Glock experiences is very interesting even if I don't own a Glock myself.
I have shot a few Glocks over the years mostly renting them at the gun ranges I just wanted to see how they handled and worked.
Great video!
Love listening to your stories.
I’ve always carried a Glock for self defence since 1999. Glock 26 and now a Glock 43. They just work!
RIP Mr. Glock. I'm late to owning a Glock. Just last year I purchased a G43x and now it's one of my favorite pistols.
Better late than never. 👊
RIP Mr. Glock, and thank you for this Mr. Hickock.
Awesome video! Gaston changed the pistol world! Still have my Gen 3 17 and 19. IMO the best gen! KEEP ON ROCKING!
The "On the gong for Gaston" is a worthy salute to Herr Glock, and an expression that has a nice "ring" to it. Excellent video Mr. Hickok, and as a "Glock Fanboy", yours is the definitive tribute that I've been waiting for! 🤠💯👏
Some people have a hard time rationalizing genius and simplicity can actually occur at the same time. That's exactly what Glock did. You can virtually change up any caliber you want in the brand and the function and manual of arms are the same.
Great tribute 👏 I'm in the camp of Glock lovers.
If I could only have one, it would be my trusty gen 3 model 19. Thousands of rounds through it and not a single malfunction. That's what counts when your life depends on it.
Gen 5 G19 same history of many many rounds and no malfunctions.
@kellyBorgman I have a 19 from every generation except the very first one. The gen 3 I have is from 2009. That's when Obama was in office and everyone was afraid they'd be banned. They were selling so fast Glock had to bring in some directly from Austria. Mine has the NPV markings and the words on the gun are in Austrian. Back then I was experimenting with all the new aftermarket parts and springs looking for the perfect Glock. What I discovered was the only things a Glock need are a 3.5 lb connector, polish the feed ramp, and all the internal metal parts that move against each other. Smooth as silk then. My gen 2 model 19 only has two letters and three numbers in the serial number. That's old.
Thank you Mr. Hickok 45 for your TH-cam videos…sadly only found out three days after of Mr. Glock’s passing as not a lot of mainstream media stations carried any news about his death.
I remember when I first held a Glock in the early 80's. It did replace our 40 year old Walther's and 1911's.
Although I already used a VP 70, The G 17 was a great improvement over the VP.
The Glock beat out the Steyr GB 18 in the Army trials. Latter I did own privately. A good handfull of steel.
Thank you for gracious, instructive and entertaining tribute to Gaston Glock. ✊🏻
Glock17 was the very first pistol I learned to shoot at age 40
Awesome first experience!
Mr H., this is absolutely hands down where your skill set shines in terms of speaking and informing others. I could sit here and just listen to this with no video at all and walk away completely fulfilled.
I used to tease my buddy about being a Glock snob until I got one. I was pleasantly surprised as you said.
That’s presumably the Glock hat in your profile picture, very neat. Great tribute video, really enjoyed this
This video... what a nice gesture, mr.H.! 👍
When Gaston and his entourage of assistants stopped by FLETC firearms training division back in the 1980s to show us the Glock 17 we had two questions. One was if they would redesign the sights to make the front sight narrower and the rear sight notch wider. His translator conferred with Gaston for a while and then turned and said, "He says, No?"
We were quite concerned by the grip angle as well. They showed us some photographs about the grip angle tests being conducted by the Austrian army. The grip angle choice then became apparent since all test personnel were using a one handed "bullseye" stance.
My two favorite legends…Gaston and Hickok 45!! Great tribute!!
I never go out without my Glock 19X and my Spartan Blade. RIP GASTON GLOCK.
I'm way late to the Glock show, bought my first one last summer and I absolutely love it. added another shortly after. great affordable, reliable, and accurate pistols.
Good job with the new video thumbnails. Change can be tough even if it’s something small. Keep on plinkin!
I carry a G23 and I've never had an issue. I also have a 9mm barrel and mags plus 357 Sig barrel and mags because the G23 can be converted to all three calibers. Love it!!
THANKS FOR THE TRIBUTE TO GASTON GLOCK.I HAVE A GLOCK 19 GEN4,NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT.THE ONLY CHANGE I MADE WAS TO SWITCH TO TRU-GLO SIGHTS.
I will always carry my Glock 19 over any other brand or model. I tried many, but always ended up back to my Glock 19. I just trust it with my life.
Hey Hickok, I was just in Pigeon Forge with my wife for the holidays. Tennessee is a nice place, but man is it packed around the holidays!
I have had both a 21 and 30 .45ACPs for years now. I love the sharing of >13 rd magazines between those 2. Now, my local gunshop is ordering the brand new Ruger LC Carbine in .45 that accepts the very same Glock magazines. So I can also use the 25 rd and other rd mags that I had purchased or had already for the Glocks. Love these videos and commentary, Hickok. I'm amazed how you still nail using iron sights. P.S. I like the block look. I sit it upside down on my table, handle up. You can use the edge of the block to line up a quick sighting at night or dark, like if you are lying down or something. The sights don't work with my aging eys, so I had some TruGlos Pros put on the aforementioned 21 and 30.
Love the content, really enjoy John's podcast! Thx you guys keep it up!
great video from someone who does not own a Glock, much respect for the platform and you Hickock!
On the clock with my Glock. Make them sing and make ring !! Happy New Year Mr. Hickok.
The thumbnail is awesome, I love that you have a handful of Glocks.
I'm more of a wood and blued steel guy but there is definitely a spot for a polymer handgun. That spot is my pocket for my Glock 43.
Ah, another legend goes to rest... Rip Gaston Glock.
I love Glock's, Cool video Hickok45. I can't get enough of you videos! Thank You!!
I‘m a sports shooter from Austria.
Been shooting Glocks (besides AUG, AR-15 and AR-9) since quite a while. I‘m using a Glock 34 with a Holosun SCS and a Timney Alpha ( wich even didn’t need a single tool for installation except for the fixation-screw )for Competions - great Gun.
My wife has a Glock 19 which fits her great. I‘ve also used CZs, SIGs and other Guns but I still like my Glocks the most.
Salute to Gaston - what a life story and what a genius when it comes to Engineering.
We‘ll do a Glock Salute range-day with the Lads at a shooting range here soon. 8 people with various Glock Models - will be a huge blast ^^
Thanx for this Tribute, Hickok
Great video Hickok45 . rip Mr.Glock
The thing about inventing is that it is usually the person who looks at the opportunity with a beginners mind. The most simplistic, smallest of changes like a lower made a polymer, that can change everything, forever.
Yeah, I meant to mention that in the video, how sometimes a fresh mind that's not filled with preconceptions can often come up with something truly innovative and different that works.
Thinking outside the box.
Wonderful tribute to a man who changed the world of firearms. R.I.P Mr. Glock God bless you Hickok 45 and your family.
Glock's legacy, imensurable.
Rest in Peace, Gaston Glock 🫡
Very thankful for my 10mm Glocks. Thanks Gaston!
i remember being really stubborn about moving from manual transmission to automatic once they took over. sometimes you don't know you need/want something until it reaches a critical mass where it's overwhelmingly positive results. nobody had cell phones for a while until they were small enough to fit in a pocket, could recharge, and could get enough coverage to work reliably. that is how i see glocks. nobody really wanted or needed a polymer handgun, it was pretty common in those days to talk trash about it actually because it was 'cheap plastic' that people weren't super familiar with yet.
all glock had to do was prove it worked and everyone else did the marketing for him from that point by word of mouth. how many people laughed at the idea of a polymer handgun only to have a half-dozen of them in their collection before the 90s were over? lol. i try to keep an open mind about everything because you never know when something is finally going to shift the paradigm, being an early adopter of something new and groundbreaking gives you a number of advantages, especially if you're into competition it sounds like that guy who showed hickok his first glock had a year or two experience with it then, i bet he did really well as a salesman for quite a bit because of that leg up.
A excellent video on all the Glock guns and the man who started all this Thank you 💯🇦🇹🇺🇸👍
Not gonna lie, I was enjoying my morning medicine routine on my porch this fine morning, my eyes only caught the RIP part with hickocks face and my heart dropped! The world needs men like him sharing himself with the world.
You should do a series called story time with Hickok45.. I’d watch every one
I went to the range the other day and was screaming “GASTON GLOCK!!” Every time I fired my Glock 20 in tribute to him. 💪💪💪
10MM Booms-what better tribute to this legend?
@@ELKapitan03right? Everyone was looking at me like wtf is the matter with him 💥💥💥💪💪
that's one way of getting yourself sent express to a padded room.
@@jirikrajnak9047lol you’re correct because I could hear everyone in the range just stop shooting and listen in
Perfection Continues.
🕯
Nice tribute Hickok keep up your great work.
I started out with a Glock 22 gen 4 as my initiation into the world of Glock. After that I was looking for something for concealed carry so one of the pistols I tried out was the new CZ P10C (2017) that everyone was raving about but CZ released that model too soon as it has too many manufacturing defects that needed to be gone over. Also I was disappointed in the CZ's quality so I traded it in on a new Glock 19 gen 4 which I think is unparalleled in quality but I do wish it had the ergonomic feel to the grip that the CZ has and the grip angle that the S&W striker pistols have. Got the Shield Plus to scratch that itch. I can count on Glock performance and reliability and quality of workmanship though.
Hickok, I really don’t know much about Gaston Glock, until I learned of his death last week. I didn’t know that he designed the Glock 17 around some of the features of the 1911, until I read about it. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to buy a Glock pistol and Glock knife (while I’m at it) in memory of Gaston Glock. In the past, I’ve rented and fired a Glock 22 and Glock 26. R.I.P. Mr. Glock.
I would be proud to be known as the "Glock Guy" I consider a Glock to be one of the best pistols ever made. I have carried a Glock at work for two careers since they first were sold in the USA. A Glock has never let me down.
If it works for you when you need it to then that's the best tribute 👍
Thank you Hickok45, thank you Gaston Glock. I have used them on and off duty for decades absolutely trouble free with just regular maintenance. Glock is also one of my "go to" guns when I teach.
My first carry was a G23 in 1998. Carried it exclusively for over 20 years! After hearing the hubbub over the recent mini 9s caused me to finally acquire a Shield9mm for summer carry because I’m no longer young and GA is what it is in spring and summer.
But….every fall and winter (even in GA), if I have my wool pea coat and leather gloves on, I need that larger frame for confident purchase on the gun…my old G23 is there for me! In fact, I’ve gone through a dozen holsters for her and every time one failed I went back in the interim to my 20+ year old Glock Sport Holster…until I finally realized it was always the best! Every other “great” holster failed, and the Glock holster always remained! So that is always there for me too every fall and winter! 😁
Love my G23 and Glock Holster in cold weather, even nearing age 50 and don’t even wanna carry my iPhone! Haha!
My first Glock was also an early 23. Eventually I sold it to go all 9mm, so now I have a 17, 26, 43x, and 34.
I bought my first Glock when I turned 21, Gen1 17. It had a feed issue. Changed mags, same issue. Changed the barrel, same issue. Sent out to the factory, couldn’t duplicate. Even went to an LE firearms instructor to make sure I wasn’t the issue, and the malfunction blew his mind. I swore off Glocks for years, then, I bought my G3 19 and fell in love all over again. I now have 6 different models. Thank you Mr. Glock and may you rest in peace.
Thanks for another great video by you and your son. I personally bought 6 blocks based on your videos. RIP Mr Gaston.
Awesome tribute to Gaston glock and see all of your glock guns thanks for sharing Hickok45 R.i.p Mr.glock
Mr. Glock is well represented and respected in my household and always will be. The Glock presence is strong here. Not because they're sexy. It's because they will always go bang when you need them to. Loved the tribute.
I will never forget the first glock pistol advertisement i saw it was in the mid 80s a small box in the corner of a page in a outdoor magazine i was immediately atracted to the plastic part of it something told me that something could come from this although like most people of that time was slow to accept it when it did hit the market i remember a major gun store in my home town of houston refused to sell it because it didnthave a safety. The first glock i fired was a model 20 in 10mm i hit exactly where i aimed and was amazed at the lack of felt recoil. Since then i have owned a few.
Rest In Peace Glock. Great video
If Hickok45 does a tribute video for you, you know that the person had a good run in life.
RIP Gaston. I currently own four Glocks Gen2 - 17, Gen 3 - 22 and 21 and Gen 4 - 20. I didn't get the 20 and 21 until they came out with the SF models and then Gen 4 with adjustable backstraps. I don't have Hickok hands lol.
Great video. I remember researching the impact that the minivan had on the automotive industry after emissions standards were forced upon manufacturers and how successful Lee Iacocca was; well I compare him to Gaston Glock. Two great Men of genius. Legacies for sure. A minivan is very useful although I would prefer a big block muscle car and the Glock is very useful although I would prefer my everyday carry to be a CZ shadow. The products are very attainable for the general public and very easily mass-produced and cost effective. Imagine just having products that were super expensive and only the elites could own. Both men designed reliable products that are affordable and reasonably serviceable. They were Mavericks in industry for the betterment of society and did so in a sustainable yet capitalistic way. Yes groundbreaking with a huge effect on industry
I have had mini vans. Never had a Glock. Cause for purchase.😂
I was shooting the P80 (G 17) in the Austrian army in the 80ies, never got rid of the Glocks ever since, I love my Glocks. RIP Mr. Double G, as his employees called him. Thank you hickok45.
Fantastic tribute to such an important man in the firearms world, your my favorite reviewer and shooter of any others ive watched..your such an honest and modest guy, but i would really like to see a segment on here about how you started getting into shooting and competition shooting and the places and events youve been to etc..as always thanks for such excellent, informative, honest videos Mr Hickock..
