My favorite gun is my Beretta APX it's probably a better pistol than a Glock. However, I recently bought my first Glock (g19.5) because of the ubiquitous nature of them (opposite of the APX) and love it. It would be my 1 shtf not coming home pistol to grab. Just buy more guns. Buy them all. Buy as many as you can.
I have many handguns from different manufacturers. I also have many Glocks. I absolutely trust my life to Glock but if I only had one choice on a handgun to go into battle. It would definitely be my HK USP45 or my FN 45.
yea true. I think the 4runner has like 5 generations that have had a long cycle period. While the wrangler had like what. 10 or 12 different reiterations of that model. Glock Gen 5? 4Runner Gen5 lol
I own several Glocks and I can attest that they are a fine instrument for self defense! Initially, I was apprehensive about using them however after using them I can say they are some of the best firearms I’ve ever purchased. I wasn’t aware that Gaston Glock had recently passed away, may he rest in peace.
Tried Glock three times and never could get use to the grip angle. Now, I own a Walther PDP Compact and loving it. Awesome trigger and quick target acquisition.
I have difficulty shooting glocks as well. The only models I seem to hit well with are the 19 and 45. Anything bigger or smaller and I run into issues. Meanwhile my sig and pdp no problem getting good groups
PDP Compact is the most ridiculously accurate pistol I own. Never owned a Glock and never shot one. Held plenty at gun shows and I never liked the grip angle. Only one that ever appealed to me was the Glock 48. Then I saw the cheap sights and passed.
I am never buying another plastic-framed, Browning-action, striker-fired wonder pistol ever again. I've found my "Goldilocks" pistol: The Beretta PX4 Storm Compact. It works well for me and has no negatives that can't be easily corrected. I had a Glock 26 once. I was never very accurate with it and I knew I'd have to spend another $100 to $300 in improvements just for the chance that comfort and accuracy might improve. I sold the G26 and discovered the PX4 shortly thereafter.
@@davidwiechecki9205 Not a Beretta Glock. The PX4 Storm is hammer fired. DA/SA. Excellent gun. I have the PX4 Storm full size and shoot it better than any of my other pistols.
My first pistol was a Glock 19. Still due to finances is still my only pistol but it’s been so reliable. When I first started I went through thousands and thousands of rounds without cleaning it and it never gave me any problems. I carry my Glock 19 every day everywhere I go in Southern California here. Ready to be decisive, aggressive and protective when called upon during my daily life of loving and helping others
@@OCJ0001 well your reasoning has error. If you carry illegally to protect your family, if you go to prison you won't be able to protect your family from behind bars 😆😂 and no I don't support Newsom, nice try to deflect though lol
@@OCJ0001 no, I'm just wondering if you're carrying without a ccw. In which case if you are and get caught, you won't be able to protect your family from behind bars
I have owned a glock for about 7 years. At first, I wasn't going to keep it, but I shoot it well, and in a panic draw, it is always on target. You guys are hilarious together! Keep up the great work!
Yup, and the striker fired system was used on both the very first auto (Borchardt C93), and the first slide operated pistol (FN 1900). Glock innovated nothing.
@@esolo114 That's a pretty accurate assessment actually. Nearly every handgun uses a Browning action, and nearly every gas gun uses an AR-18 short-stroke gas piston. We're supposed to be very impressed and golf clap every time a manufacturer makes a new one.
Great video guys! I also love Glocks and what's great is how the company continues to support as well as the aftermarket community supporting the different genres.
I was late to the Glock party but once I got one (a G30), I was hooked. The reliability and repairability/maintenance is the best of any brand I have ever owned, and in the preparedness world, it's important. And last, I have a rotation of different sizes and calibers, different tools for different jobs. And with Glocks, from the G20 to the 43, they may be different sizes and calibers, but they are still Glocks. The MOS, the shooting feel, the trigger feel, it's the same. I can carry any I want and feel confident that my muscle memory and training are still good.
I’ve bought many pistols, red dots, holsters, etc looking for the best EDC. Still 98% of the time I grab my G19 with irons. I did do my own sand down and stipple. It fits my hand perfectly. It’s made me want to sell my others and buy just a few more G19s
Glock 19 - the original "One Gun Solution." Even though I've graduated to other platforms, I still firmly believe that if you are only going have one pistol... it should be a Glock 19.
@@chapllc722 Better trigger? Yes. More reliable? No. Ask any SOF guy who served with the 92. There's a reason why they started running Glocks when it became available for them to do so.
But heavier and more expensive to get modern solutions like red dots? Haven't shot one, but that's what I've seen. I'd get a 92 series for the cool factor, bot not to carry. Plus that massive slide cut out seems more prone to catching, but probably not.@@chapllc722
I've been a firearm owner for about 25 years and I just today got my first Glock, the 47. Basically a 17 that you can swap slides with a 19. I haven't gotten a red dot yet but it will also be the first handgun I put a red dot on. I've been gun Amish for a long time in terms of handguns. I just got to do some research on the right one. When I spend $300+ on a red dot, I want to make sure I get the right one. As for Sig vs Glock vs 1911. I now have 1 of each!
Just bought a used gen 4 glock 34. I'vs always liked the idea of guns, but never really owned a lot. I have a Springfield 9mm, but never used it. Finally decided to go test some guns, the gun range had a 34 to rent, and i instantly fell in love and got it. I plan on getting the glock 45 for daily carry as well, we shall see where we go from here. I tried a 19 afterwards, I have giant hands and much prefer the larger grip. But im now a proud glock fan.
Glock 17 gen 4 has been my EDC for the last few years. Before that was the Glock 43. I definitely trust Glock more than any other pistol to work at any given moment.
glocks are solid. i went with mp2.0. i didnt care between the two but my wife seemed to find the grip to trigger distance easier to reach. add in 100 bucks cheaper and i havent looked back since. got 3 of various models they all run great.
I disagree with their claim on affordability. Every store I've been in lately the Glocks are the same price or more as other comparable striker fired handguns (many of which are better quality). For example, I've seen the Glock and VP9 priced the same but HK consistently has deals where you get $200-250 in credit towards more magazines or whatever else you want on their store. If I had a limited budget the M&P seems like a much better option to me.
There was a nationally syndicated columnist who started that “invisible to x ray” myth. One of my first experiences with idiots in media acting arrogant, superior, and wrong. Jack Anderson was his name, forgotten now but at one time was quite a powerful person. The movie spread his disinformation far and wide. January 15, 1986, a date that will live in infamy.
I love my 19x. If you have large hands it’s the way to go. That or a Glock45. I also carry a G22 Gen3. Even though it’s a full size gun, it’s slim and tucks easily, and conceals with no problem.
Love you guys, and although my wife carries a 43X, I just can't jump on the Glock train. Started with Ruger (a fine pistol), moved to Springfield (many pistols), and frankly, money permitting, I'm going to get all aboard the Walther PDP express. Buying a Glock is like buying a chevy and spending 3x what the car is worth to fix it up. Fine, if that's your bag, but I'd rather spend half that and get a system that's good to go out of the box; just slap an optic on it and go. ✌
Glocks are solid. My primary pistol is a G17. So many solid other options out there now though, Glock is not the only game in town. They actually are calling behind in features and value. They need to up their game. I see why my LGS sells other brands more.
That’s a good recommendation, a Glock 19 and 43X which I own both. But also had to get a 20, 23, 29, and 40. lol. Love both Glocks and Sigs! IMO, Glock is the best field guns.
Back in the '80's I was in the Norwegian Air Force and we had Walther P38's issued as our side arm. Then we became the second military unit to adopt the Glock (after Austria). What a difference! From the stone age to the space age. I've had Glocks ever since.
"From the stone age to the space age." What a bs. The P38 ist still a reliable handgun. Maybe half the mag capacity but it makes the sam holes as a G17. And the Beretta 92 is technical very close to the P38 and you can get 18 shot flush fit magazines for it.
@@GieszkanneSo evident to see how little handgun knowledge you have. An 8 round single stack handgun with a heel release is in no way even remotely in the same ball park as a double stack 17/15 round handgun with a button release.
My agency switched to a Glock Model 22 in .40 Caliber years ago. Many THOUSANDS of rounds later they are still running and reliable!!! We were issued 2 Glocks each the Model 22 and Model 27 (back up) both in .40 Caliber. The HIGHEST level of RESPECT, EVERYONE wants to COPY YOU!!!!
I've ran Glocks since 1986. Bought their only pistol available back then the G17. It still runs perfectly today. Own the G21, G31, 19X and my EDC the G45 MOS. Every Glock I've ever bought has had to be improved on ie Sights, extended slide stops/release, trigger and magwell. I agree John, everyone needs at least one and two cases of premium defensive ammo for it. Thanks brother. Stay Hard and in Condition Yellow.
Glocks are what ARs are to the MSR world. Own several platforms and I can't help but buying glock platform parts. I just got a couple for PSA Micros and swapping parts or combinations like with my Shadow systems CR 920, is fun. With all these companies making quality clones it's even more affordable to get into the market, which also makes actual glocks even more affordable.
Another few reasons: They're the most aesthetically looking handguns. They have awesome triggers. They have nice curves. Most models have their own unique look. They're ergonomics are top notch.
I wasn’t much of a Glock fan growing up as I still think they aren’t the best looking pistols ever but once I turned 21 I’d had a few S&W’s, some Sig’s, Rugers etc etc but when the Gen5 came out I tried the 19x and liked it a lot. Now I have multiple Glocks and a MR920 elite in fde. I’ll always pack a 19 or 19 platform from here on out.
One of the first pistols I ever had was a 19. I had lots of different brands and flavors.but always go back to glocks. But I favor glocks in the 45 not 9mm better
Got my first glock last year, a G19. I thought the grip was awful at first, but after lots of serious training and dry fire I prefer it over everything else. Very tempted to buy more.
Don't. They are over priced and obsolete. They were innovative 25 years ago. This fanboy cope is nonsense. Try other guns. Almost any major brand matches a Glock, many surpass. Usually for less money. Canik, CZ, even Smith. I loved Glock when it was all I knew.
Just recently won a glock 19 gen 5 in a raffle!! Wasn't a fan of glock, that is until i fired it for the first time!! Love it and so does the wife, and it has became her edc!!
All these, plus one more reason I recommend to my fellow GA people: If something were to go wrong with a Glock and you can't fix it yourself, the company is local and warranty services are easy.
Glocks are not alone in their durability. I have a Ruger P94 I bought new in 1998 that now has 15,000 documented rounds through it and, like your Glocks, still shoots like new. It’s still tight, smooth and solidly reliable.
Honestly 15k isn’t really that many rounds for any quality modern pistol. It’s only a lot of rounds for the average civilian shooter that barely shoots his guns.
@@joe_higachihe is right. 15k is not that much in the scheme of things. I've got a gen 2 from 1997 with about 65,000 rounds. Recoil spring and slide release spring are all that's been replaced.
@cbolton81 yes the vp70 sucked but it was the first striker fire polymer pistol. Glock had the first commercially successful striker fire polymer pistol.
Finally, the new owner of a Glock 19. It will be paired with a Keltec Sub2K in a get home bag for cross town travel. While traveling on the road, I have a Ruger PCC paired with a Security-9. Flexibility and both could swap or each other in either task. Sure, there are other options out there. This was available, and usable to me at the time I began building the bags.
I have many pistols but my favorite to this day is my Glock 36. I don’t need anything fancy with 18 rounds and optics . It never fails. S&W’s suck regularly, never met one I liked.
I'm a newer shooter. Just bought my first gun about a month ago. Tried a few guns, went with Glock 19 Gen 5. 1. I am a lefty, love that it is ambi 2. I drive a Toyota for their reliability. Glock is a workhorse. Not as "pretty" as other guns. 3. It feels good in my hands. I get decent shot placement. I have put ~ 800 rounds through it so far.
I would posit that everyone should build. Building can be very economical or it can produce a real gem of a fully custom (to the individual shooter) handgun. The P320 is another favorite for the same reasons.
Everyone has their favorite brand for their own reasons. I have a 19 gen 5 and yes, it's a good pistol. Reliable, accurate (as in tight groups), it works really well. For semiautos though my fav is Walther. Reliable, accurate, fantastic factory trigger but it's the ergonomics that really work for me. I tried all the backstraps that came with the 19 and the first time I picked up a Walther I'm like yeah, THIS is how a handgun should feel. It just works for me. Would I ever sell my Glock? No. It still serves a purpose for me.
I carried a Glock during my active duty years in SF-we were issued G19’s right before Somalia in 93 and all the way till I left SF in 2003 to become a Trooper in my home state.This is now well over 34 years of carrying Glock pistols-I have never once had a failure.They are the most reliable firearms ever made.
Which state? We just lost a Michigan State Trooper here in Saginaw County last night...ran over on I75 while processing a drunk driver. Fucking tragedy.
To this day I think in terms of duty use, Glock is the best. I remember getting issued a used up m9 in the military and hated it…sure enough I get issued an old,used up Glock 19 gen 3 when I started doing overseas security work and I STILL thought it was a much superior duty weapon to the m9…
@@jwilliams3170"road sharks" are also important. If you don't speed or drive like an idiot, you're good. All cops (except the objectively bad ones) are heroes
I have a glock, it was not my first choice and I don't carry it, but I got it because of the availability of parts. I carry an M&P and I have since they came out.
If you ever train with WPS, watching Paul run a glock 17 in person is jaw dropping and shows you just what Glocks are capable of. The B roll in the video doesn't do it justice.
Very good info here. It is important to note that the first polymer based striker fired gun was made by HK with their VP70 in the 1970’s. Glock came about a decade after.
@@johnharris8191 they just have to address the bore axis and accuracy issues. The new models are less accurate mechanically than the original models. Like the vp9. Superior trigger, superior ergonomics. Superior materials. All around better gun. Just less accurate and more flip
I'm considering a G19 for wifey who at the moment has something small and lots of kick. She needs something (a) reliable and (b) reliable. She doesn't carry because she doesn't go out much without me. So for home use she'd be set.
Hi John and Warrior Poet team. It's Warren Nass here. I apologize for being away for awhile due to personal reasons. But back now, I have great respect for the Glock and other strike and fire platforms. It is good to hear from you guys that you still respect Glock in a highly competitive market. I will be going into the Glock platform when I start buying my own guns. If you haven't done a review of the model 44, could you please do so as a trainer for new shooters? Regards.
My first handgun was a just-released G19 in 1988. I've been carrying a G19 of one generation or the next ever since, and after trying many alternatives over the years, I'm still convinced it's the best overall EDC pistol available for men my size or larger.
I have always been hesitant regarding Glock. But after buying, trying, and selling several handguns (s&w, beretta, sig) because I just wasn’t shooting them well. I couldn’t trust myself to get and stay on target in a self defense scenario. I bought a glock 47 for home defense a little over a year ago. Something about the grip angle just works with my hands. I am no operator. I go to the range only once every 2 months. It’s night and day how well I can hit 10 inch targets at 20-30 ft. This is my experience. Now I plan on getting a G43x for carry. 5:47 thanks for the diehard reference!
You two need to do more together. I own a Block and one more reason to own is modularity. You can buy a .40 and change barrel and spring and magazine viola 9mm. Same 45 - 40. Probably 10 for that matter too. I've done 40 to 9 myself. It works
Had been a Springfield guy for a few years and was frustrated over the lack of availability of holsters for XDM with a light and red dot. Moved to Glock 45 for reasons #1 & #2 and never have had a problem.
Ahh err..Must confess that I’m kinda a gun junkie and love tinkering and learning about the mechanicals of all types throughout history but I just clean a barrel of a glock, and a tad of oil where I assume it should be on some of the shiny parts, reassemble and move along. 🤷♂️
The only reason to have one is the aftermarket and shared parts , it’s second to the ar platform in that respect . otherwise there are better guns in every way out there depending on what you like
I'll never like Glocks, the shape and grip angle just don't gel with me, but I accept that many DO like them, and whatever weapon works for YOU, use it. I prefer Springfield and Walther, they just seem to fit my hand better than any other, and as such I've shot them for many years and they've become a part of me as a result. As always, train with what YOU are comfortable with, and can accurately hit your target, the hell with what anyone else says. The main goal we all strive for is to protect ourselves and the ones we love, and if you can do that with with any weapon, train, train train, and share that knowledge, whether it's a .22, a 9mm, a .45, if YOU are confident with it and it hits where you aim it, that's what matters. Stay safe all, hug your loved ones, and remember to tell them every chance that you love them, events can take them (you) away at any moment.
05:00 I gotta mention Glock was NOT the OG. It was the Heckler & Koch VP70 that came out in 1970 as the first polymer/striker fired pistol. Glock took the idea and ran with it. What Glock did was make that format world renowned.
@@gapshot5065 To bad he didn't make it better, just took it to minimal in both engineering and metallurgy for the sake of maximizing profit. Hence why we see all these cheap guns that use minimum materials, beyond a steel slide and 20c of plastic into a different thermoform. To be blunt he took 1870's bolt action tech, married it to a Browning-Whiting lock system, and added the same double stack mag we have all been copying since the Hi Power. The only difference is he did it cheaper than HK or Remington could at the time and has undercut since for contracts... yea that might be revolutionary, for a market that has been technologically stagnant since the mid 1930's.
I've owned 1911 pistols for most of my adult life, but more recently purchased a Gen 5 Glock 19 with small streamlight in custom Kydex holster and carry it everywhere. I just love how accurate and easy it is to carry concealed everyday.
I give Glock a lot of credit for the revolution they started in handguns. But the other innovators have pushed beyond them while they sat on their “perfection” and didn’t really try to push their own limits. I really like what others like Walther and HK have come up with in the space. Sig is doing really good too, loving the 365 family of guns
That boneheaded statement in Diehard 2 goes right along with the armor piercing bullets in Lethal Weapon 3 that would go through the steel loader on a bulldozer but could be stopped by body armor.
That's funny, I went the opposite. I went 226 and still have it to this day. I have a glock now as well, but my go to is the p320 x5 legion. They're all great pistols but I guess if I have to pick, I'll go Sig. Just feels better with a better trigger
I was amazed it failed the mud test Grandthumb did…it’s no longer the best kid in the block…everyone has caught up and Glock has failed to move forward…still a great piece though…Model 43x, 45 and 23
Very reliable pistol, but the grip angle was never good for me. Same way with the stock grip on the scary black rifle, I switch to BCM or B5 grip modules.
Here in CA, I might get a Glock 34 Gen 3 especially since I might consider getting into competition shooting some time. It has the best trigger out of all the stock CA compliant Glocks out of the box. I was also extremely accurate with it (about a 2 inch group on the bullseye). However, I will need to at least have that undercut job done because I do not like the trigger guard giving me that Glock Knuckle feeling. I'm a short guy but I have GIANT hands and fingers (especially my middle finger). Also, I'd change the sights to make it 3 dot night sights and also a light. I hope I will not need to remove the finger grooves as well.
Absolutely agree 100% with all of these opinions but. . . Unfortunately for me glocks do not fit in my hands correctly at all. Specifically the 19s, Its literally like holding a 2×4. So for that reason i go with the M&P series, which is just as proven and feels very good in the hand 😉👌
I agree. When I first got into Paul’s, I got a 19 because everyone said that’s what you gotta get. I went every week to the range, and practiced. I never seemed to improve. I literally would miss paper at 7 yds! One time, I got to the range and there was a guy there with a bag full of m&p 2.0s. He asked if I wanted to try one, and first mag I shot a fist size group. I have never shot that 19 again. When I tell people this, they say “you didn’t train enough with it”. Why would you stick with a gun that requires 10x the training when there are other options as good or better. They obviously work for some people, but I really don’t think they should be “the go to”
@atomicsmith yeah, my advice is when buying your first handgun is to just make sure it feels good in your hands. Not too big or too small, and make sure you can manipulate the slide and all controls comfortably. I went in to my local gun store and said I wanted a full size M&P 9mm. The salesman brought out a G19 with the smith and asked me to handle it and tried to convince me of buying the glock I don't know why but I handled both and felt the smith was superior
Glock is def not a Jeep, it’s a Toyota Camry and I mean that in the best way! For the exact reasons you listed: It runs reliably, parts are cheap and plentiful, and it’s easy to do most of the routine maintenance yourself.
I love the channel, but as an old school Jarhead trained on the 1911….ain’t no way in hell I’m spending money on combat Tupperware 😂😂😂😂 So in order to…. You’re saying #1 is JMB and #2 is GG??
I've run into something recently I hadn't expected with my glock 43. Some 9mm ammo fails to feed correctly and jams. It's only one particular box of 9mm I bought so I compared the rounds to my others and they look slightly thinner. Not sure how there are two sizes of 9mm given that millimeters are millimeters but here we are.
Reason 1) to appreciate how far and how much better all the other newer polymer striker 9mm guns have become in the 30 years since the last time Glock innovated anything Reason 2) Counter every Glock fanboy saying “You just wouldn’t understand if you don’t own one” with replying “But I do”
My Sig 226 has the edge on accuracy over my Glock 34 but the follow up shots are faster on the Glock for me. My gen 2 Glock 26 is surprisingly good, I bought it on a whim used for super cheap back in the mid 90’s. Hell I own two G19’s, great beater gun and daily.
I find it funny you called it "The Jeep Wrangler"of guns. It fits perfectly. Over priced and didn't do anymore than a 4runner (Taurus) can't do. Yet can do more because they have a restrike capability.
You taurus guys do anything you can to cope with the fact you spent $300 or less on some Brazilian junk. In NO world is a taurus in the same category as glock or s&w hell, id take a junk ass XDM before i would a taurus. They should change their slogan "Taurus, the king of cope"
My daughters and I shoot in competitions. In the years we’ve been participating, NONE of us has ever had a failure due to the pistols. We have a variety of models, all 9mm

How does that PX4 suppress? ;)
The px4 is a great gun. I just picked up a HK p2000 LEM, added a GG short reset kit, and I love it. My g19 might collect a lot of dust now
So long as you don't try to suppress it that is. Other than that one small, minor flaw of a fundamental problem its fine.

Yup, and the striker fired system was used on both the very first auto (Borchardt C93), and the first slide operated pistol (FN 1900).
Glock innovated nothing.
By that logic no gun has innovated anything for 70 years
@@esolo114 That's a pretty accurate assessment actually. Nearly every handgun uses a Browning action, and nearly every gas gun uses an AR-18 short-stroke gas piston. We're supposed to be very impressed and golf clap every time a manufacturer makes a new one.
Yes, the hideous HK 70z with the 22 pound trigger pull. Almost got one...almost.😊
Great video guys! I also love Glocks and what's great is how the company continues to support as well as the aftermarket community supporting the different genres.
Love when John and Paul get together, brings a much needed laugh! Keep up the good work!
Last time John and Paul got together the Beatles were formed.
Have my orginal G19 1988. Did replace the barrel which made it amazing accurate now. Still carry it on occasion when the G43 is not carried.
Those are the reasons why I chose a ...... CZ P10-c AND a Walther PDP with one exception, they are just better then glock. IMO of course. 😁
I love my P10C! Great handgun!
Trying to decide between G45 and cz p10C. Already have the PDP which is pretty sweet.
I was late to the Glock party but once I got one (a G30), I was hooked. The reliability and repairability/maintenance is the best of any brand I have ever owned, and in the preparedness world, it's important. And last, I have a rotation of different sizes and calibers, different tools for different jobs. And with Glocks, from the G20 to the 43, they may be different sizes and calibers, but they are still Glocks. The MOS, the shooting feel, the trigger feel, it's the same. I can carry any I want and feel confident that my muscle memory and training are still good.
I have an original Glock 17 that I purchased in 1987. It was my carry gun for around 5 years. Still shoots great. Have four of them now.
Yes sir Im sitting on four myself. 43x with shield 15 round conversion has been my EDC for the last two years.
I’ve bought many pistols, red dots, holsters, etc looking for the best EDC. Still 98% of the time I grab my G19 with irons.
I did do my own sand down and stipple. It fits my hand perfectly. It’s made me want to sell my others and buy just a few more G19s
Glock 19 - the original "One Gun Solution." Even though I've graduated to other platforms, I still firmly believe that if you are only going have one pistol... it should be a Glock 19.
Beretta M9 or 92 Series. You get an all-metal gun with equal reliability to a glock and a better trigger.
polymer has proven itself u can keep the extra weight
@@chapllc722 Better trigger? Yes. More reliable? No.
Ask any SOF guy who served with the 92. There's a reason why they started running Glocks when it became available for them to do so.
But heavier and more expensive to get modern solutions like red dots? Haven't shot one, but that's what I've seen. I'd get a 92 series for the cool factor, bot not to carry. Plus that massive slide cut out seems more prone to catching, but probably not.@@chapllc722
@@chapllc722M9 is not as reliable as a Glock. Throw some sand/dirt into the mix and it’s even less reliable.
I've been a firearm owner for about 25 years and I just today got my first Glock, the 47. Basically a 17 that you can swap slides with a 19. I haven't gotten a red dot yet but it will also be the first handgun I put a red dot on. I've been gun Amish for a long time in terms of handguns. I just got to do some research on the right one. When I spend $300+ on a red dot, I want to make sure I get the right one.
As for Sig vs Glock vs 1911. I now have 1 of each!
Just bought a used gen 4 glock 34. I'vs always liked the idea of guns, but never really owned a lot. I have a Springfield 9mm, but never used it. Finally decided to go test some guns, the gun range had a 34 to rent, and i instantly fell in love and got it. I plan on getting the glock 45 for daily carry as well, we shall see where we go from here.
I tried a 19 afterwards, I have giant hands and much prefer the larger grip. But im now a proud glock fan.
Glock 17 gen 4 has been my EDC for the last few years. Before that was the Glock 43. I definitely trust Glock more than any other pistol to work at any given moment.
My Glock 17 Gen4 is also my EDC pistol. That's the pistol I trust with my life, I often refer to it as my workhorse lol.
Glock 21gen 4 was my first
Yeah, I edc a g17 and am completely happy with it
My Glock 17 Gen4 is my EDC pistol. That's the pistol I trust with my life, I often refer to it as my workhorse lol
glocks are solid. i went with mp2.0. i didnt care between the two but my wife seemed to find the grip to trigger distance easier to reach. add in 100 bucks cheaper and i havent looked back since. got 3 of various models they all run great.
Same. I wanted an optic and suppressor ready pistol and the MP2.0 fit the bill. Option B is another APX but I opted for being able to find a holster.
I disagree with their claim on affordability. Every store I've been in lately the Glocks are the same price or more as other comparable striker fired handguns (many of which are better quality). For example, I've seen the Glock and VP9 priced the same but HK consistently has deals where you get $200-250 in credit towards more magazines or whatever else you want on their store. If I had a limited budget the M&P seems like a much better option to me.
Love my 1911's but I carry Glock G19 3rd gen or Sig P220.
Never forget that scene from Die Hard. It educated me and my friends about the dangers of Glocks for many years.
The ceramic handgun 🤣

There was a nationally syndicated columnist who started that “invisible to x ray” myth. One of my first experiences with idiots in media acting arrogant, superior, and wrong. Jack Anderson was his name, forgotten now but at one time was quite a powerful person. The movie spread his disinformation far and wide. January 15, 1986, a date that will live in infamy.
I love my 19x. If you have large hands it’s the way to go. That or a Glock45. I also carry a G22 Gen3. Even though it’s a full size gun, it’s slim and tucks easily, and conceals with no problem.

Love you guys, and although my wife carries a 43X, I just can't jump on the Glock train. Started with Ruger (a fine pistol), moved to Springfield (many pistols), and frankly, money permitting, I'm going to get all aboard the Walther PDP express. Buying a Glock is like buying a chevy and spending 3x what the car is worth to fix it up. Fine, if that's your bag, but I'd rather spend half that and get a system that's good to go out of the box; just slap an optic on it and go. ✌
Glocks are solid. My primary pistol is a G17. So many solid other options out there now though, Glock is not the only game in town. They actually are calling behind in features and value. They need to up their game. I see why my LGS sells other brands more.
That’s a good recommendation, a Glock 19 and 43X which I own both. But also had to get a 20, 23, 29, and 40. lol. Love both Glocks and Sigs!
IMO, Glock is the best field guns.
Back in the '80's I was in the Norwegian Air Force and we had Walther P38's issued as our side arm. Then we became the second military unit to adopt the Glock (after Austria). What a difference! From the stone age to the space age. I've had Glocks ever since.
"From the stone age to the space age." What a bs. The P38 ist still a reliable handgun. Maybe half the mag capacity but it makes the sam holes as a G17. And the Beretta 92 is technical very close to the P38 and you can get 18 shot flush fit magazines for it.
The P38 is not only one of the ugliest but also one of the worst pistols I have ever shot. The trigger is a complete failure.
@@GieszkanneSo evident to see how little handgun knowledge you have. An 8 round single stack handgun with a heel release is in no way even remotely in the same ball park as a double stack 17/15 round handgun with a button release.
My agency switched to a Glock Model 22 in .40 Caliber years ago. Many THOUSANDS of rounds later they are still running and reliable!!! We were issued 2 Glocks each the Model 22 and Model 27 (back up) both in .40 Caliber. The HIGHEST level of RESPECT, EVERYONE wants to COPY YOU!!!!
I've ran Glocks since 1986. Bought their only pistol available back then the G17. It still runs perfectly today. Own the G21, G31, 19X and my EDC the G45 MOS. Every Glock I've ever bought has had to be improved on ie Sights, extended slide stops/release, trigger and magwell. I agree John, everyone needs at least one and two cases of premium defensive ammo for it. Thanks brother. Stay Hard and in Condition Yellow.
Has had to be improved on.....no. You wanted to make improvements. Many many people use stock glocks without fail.

@@codyi7102 lets see the money
Glocks are what ARs are to the MSR world. Own several platforms and I can't help but buying glock platform parts. I just got a couple for PSA Micros and swapping parts or combinations like with my Shadow systems CR 920, is fun. With all these companies making quality clones it's even more affordable to get into the market, which also makes actual glocks even more affordable.
Another few reasons: They're the most aesthetically looking handguns. They have awesome triggers. They have nice curves. Most models have their own unique look. They're ergonomics are top notch.
I wasn’t much of a Glock fan growing up as I still think they aren’t the best looking pistols ever but once I turned 21 I’d had a few S&W’s, some Sig’s, Rugers etc etc but when the Gen5 came out I tried the 19x and liked it a lot. Now I have multiple Glocks and a MR920 elite in fde. I’ll always pack a 19 or 19 platform from here on out.
One of the first pistols I ever had was a 19. I had lots of different brands and flavors.but always go back to glocks. But I favor glocks in the 45 not 9mm better
Got my first glock last year, a G19. I thought the grip was awful at first, but after lots of serious training and dry fire I prefer it over everything else. Very tempted to buy more.
Don't. They are over priced and obsolete. They were innovative 25 years ago. This fanboy cope is nonsense. Try other guns. Almost any major brand matches a Glock, many surpass. Usually for less money. Canik, CZ, even Smith.
I loved Glock when it was all I knew.
Just recently won a glock 19 gen 5 in a raffle!! Wasn't a fan of glock, that is until i fired it for the first time!! Love it and so does the wife, and it has became her edc!!
Actually, the Heckler & Koch VP70 was the first polymer striker fired pistol.
The Glock 17 was the first such handgun that enjoyed commercial success.
All these, plus one more reason I recommend to my fellow GA people: If something were to go wrong with a Glock and you can't fix it yourself, the company is local and warranty services are easy.
Glocks are not alone in their durability. I have a Ruger P94 I bought new in 1998 that now has 15,000 documented rounds through it and, like your Glocks, still shoots like new. It’s still tight, smooth and solidly reliable.
Total junk. Don't trust it that things a ticking time bomb.
Honestly 15k isn’t really that many rounds for any quality modern pistol. It’s only a lot of rounds for the average civilian shooter that barely shoots his guns.

Indeed, the HK VP70 in 1970.

Finally, the new owner of a Glock 19. It will be paired with a Keltec Sub2K in a get home bag for cross town travel. While traveling on the road, I have a Ruger PCC paired with a Security-9. Flexibility and both could swap or each other in either task. Sure, there are other options out there. This was available, and usable to me at the time I began building the bags.
Still running my dads original LAPD service G17 from 1992. 10k + rounds and runs flawlessly!

Love your content..just got my G19 Gen 5 in BFG…love it. 🔥
I'm a newer shooter. Just bought my first gun about a month ago. Tried a few guns, went with Glock 19 Gen 5.
1. I am a lefty, love that it is ambi
2. I drive a Toyota for their reliability. Glock is a workhorse. Not as "pretty" as other guns.
3. It feels good in my hands. I get decent shot placement. I have put ~ 800 rounds through it so far.
I would posit that everyone should build. Building can be very economical or it can produce a real gem of a fully custom (to the individual shooter) handgun.
The P320 is another favorite for the same reasons.
Everyone has their favorite brand for their own reasons. I have a 19 gen 5 and yes, it's a good pistol. Reliable, accurate (as in tight groups), it works really well. For semiautos though my fav is Walther. Reliable, accurate, fantastic factory trigger but it's the ergonomics that really work for me. I tried all the backstraps that came with the 19 and the first time I picked up a Walther I'm like yeah, THIS is how a handgun should feel. It just works for me. Would I ever sell my Glock? No. It still serves a purpose for me.
I carried a Glock during my active duty years in SF-we were issued G19’s right before Somalia in 93 and all the way till I left SF in 2003 to become a Trooper in my home state.This is now well over 34 years of carrying Glock pistols-I have never once had a failure.They are the most reliable firearms ever made.
That’s a great testimony to the quality of the gun! Too bad you went the highway shark route instead of becoming a real hero like us local PD guys.
Which state? We just lost a Michigan State Trooper here in Saginaw County last night...ran over on I75 while processing a drunk driver. Fucking tragedy.
To this day I think in terms of duty use, Glock is the best. I remember getting issued a used up m9 in the military and hated it…sure enough I get issued an old,used up Glock 19 gen 3 when I started doing overseas security work and I STILL thought it was a much superior duty weapon to the m9…

Hi John and Warrior Poet team. It's Warren Nass here. I apologize for being away for awhile due to personal reasons. But back now, I have great respect for the Glock and other strike and fire platforms. It is good to hear from you guys that you still respect Glock in a highly competitive market. I will be going into the Glock platform when I start buying my own guns. If you haven't done a review of the model 44, could you please do so as a trainer for new shooters? Regards.
I doubt anyone noticed.
What about those Glock plastic sights, odd grip angle, and that incredibly average trigger ? (Balled up and hiding under my desk now)
I have a gen 5 19 mos and a gen 5 23 awesome pistols but i prefer my hellcat for carry.
My first handgun was a just-released G19 in 1988. I've been carrying a G19 of one generation or the next ever since, and after trying many alternatives over the years, I'm still convinced it's the best overall EDC pistol available for men my size or larger.
Sold my Glock 19. Didn't fit my hand. However, my G17, G26, G30, G43, and my G20 totally rock!
Ditto. I have found many people who preferred the G17 and G26 over the G19, and the only issue was hand fit.
I have always been hesitant regarding Glock. But after buying, trying, and selling several handguns (s&w, beretta, sig) because I just wasn’t shooting them well. I couldn’t trust myself to get and stay on target in a self defense scenario.
I bought a glock 47 for home defense a little over a year ago. Something about the grip angle just works with my hands. I am no operator. I go to the range only once every 2 months. It’s night and day how well I can hit 10 inch targets at 20-30 ft.
This is my experience. Now I plan on getting a G43x for carry.
5:47 thanks for the diehard reference!
You two need to do more together. I own a Block and one more reason to own is modularity. You can buy a .40 and change barrel and spring and magazine viola 9mm. Same 45 - 40. Probably 10 for that matter too. I've done 40 to 9 myself. It works
You can also buy a 357 sig conversion barrel and still use the 40 magazine.
Had been a Springfield guy for a few years and was frustrated over the lack of availability of holsters for XDM with a light and red dot. Moved to Glock 45 for reasons #1 & #2 and never have had a problem.
Ahh err..Must confess that I’m kinda a gun junkie and love tinkering and learning about the mechanicals of all types throughout history but I just clean a barrel of a glock, and a tad of oil where I assume it should be on some of the shiny parts, reassemble and move along. 🤷♂️
Jeep Wrangler is an interesting comparison, hadn't heard that one before. I had definitely heard Glocks being compared to Toyotas though.

They have a usable grip too right?
I’ll take a 365XL over a Glock for EDC and a Sig 320 or M&P 2.0 over a Glock for duty
The only reason to have one is the aftermarket and shared parts , it’s second to the ar platform in that respect . otherwise there are better guns in every way out there depending on what you like
I'll never like Glocks, the shape and grip angle just don't gel with me, but I accept that many DO like them, and whatever weapon works for YOU, use it. I prefer Springfield and Walther, they just seem to fit my hand better than any other, and as such I've shot them for many years and they've become a part of me as a result. As always, train with what YOU are comfortable with, and can accurately hit your target, the hell with what anyone else says. The main goal we all strive for is to protect ourselves and the ones we love, and if you can do that with with any weapon, train, train train, and share that knowledge, whether it's a .22, a 9mm, a .45, if YOU are confident with it and it hits where you aim it, that's what matters. Stay safe all, hug your loved ones, and remember to tell them every chance that you love them, events can take them (you) away at any moment.
05:00 I gotta mention Glock was NOT the OG. It was the Heckler & Koch VP70 that came out in 1970 as the first polymer/striker fired pistol. Glock took the idea and ran with it. What Glock did was make that format world renowned.
Yup. There is literally nothing in the design of the gun that he didn't copy off of something else.
It’s not about reinventing the wheel it’s about making a better wheel👍🏻
@@gapshot5065 To bad he didn't make it better, just took it to minimal in both engineering and metallurgy for the sake of maximizing profit. Hence why we see all these cheap guns that use minimum materials, beyond a steel slide and 20c of plastic into a different thermoform. To be blunt he took 1870's bolt action tech, married it to a Browning-Whiting lock system, and added the same double stack mag we have all been copying since the Hi Power.
The only difference is he did it cheaper than HK or Remington could at the time and has undercut since for contracts... yea that might be revolutionary, for a market that has been technologically stagnant since the mid 1930's.
Came here to say the same.. lol
@@gapshot5065 making a better wheel was my point, yes. 👍
I've owned 1911 pistols for most of my adult life, but more recently purchased a Gen 5 Glock 19 with small streamlight in custom Kydex holster and carry it everywhere. I just love how accurate and easy it is to carry concealed everyday.
Just got a 19 as well. Little large for my edc so I have a p365 but the Glock is lovely
I think I would go with a Masada slim. It accepts Jericho/CZ 75 mags, which I have plenty of.
I give Glock a lot of credit for the revolution they started in handguns.
But the other innovators have pushed beyond them while they sat on their “perfection” and didn’t really try to push their own limits. I really like what others like Walther and HK have come up with in the space. Sig is doing really good too, loving the 365 family of guns
What innovations hasn’t Glock achieved besides reliability?
That boneheaded statement in Diehard 2 goes right along with the armor piercing bullets in Lethal Weapon 3 that would go through the steel loader on a bulldozer but could be stopped by body armor.
I prefer CZs, love my P-01, but that's just me.
I agree.
Someone with proper taste here. Love all my CZs, carry a P-07- the most.
That's funny, I went the opposite. I went 226 and still have it to this day. I have a glock now as well, but my go to is the p320 x5 legion. They're all great pistols but I guess if I have to pick, I'll go Sig. Just feels better with a better trigger
I was amazed it failed the mud test Grandthumb did…it’s no longer the best kid in the block…everyone has caught up and Glock has failed to move forward…still a great piece though…Model 43x, 45 and 23
THANK YOU. "Everyone has caught up and glock has failed to move forward" is the best ive heard this said.
Very reliable pistol, but the grip angle was never good for me. Same way with the stock grip on the scary black rifle, I switch to BCM or B5 grip modules.
I still have my glock 17 gen 2 and it's still going strong😃👍💪 Glock was the seed of them all.
Here in CA, I might get a Glock 34 Gen 3 especially since I might consider getting into competition shooting some time. It has the best trigger out of all the stock CA compliant Glocks out of the box. I was also extremely accurate with it (about a 2 inch group on the bullseye). However, I will need to at least have that undercut job done because I do not like the trigger guard giving me that Glock Knuckle feeling. I'm a short guy but I have GIANT hands and fingers (especially my middle finger). Also, I'd change the sights to make it 3 dot night sights and also a light. I hope I will not need to remove the finger grooves as well.
Absolutely agree 100% with all of these opinions but. . . Unfortunately for me glocks do not fit in my hands correctly at all. Specifically the 19s, Its literally like holding a 2×4. So for that reason i go with the M&P series, which is just as proven and feels very good in the hand 😉👌
I agree. When I first got into Paul’s, I got a 19 because everyone said that’s what you gotta get. I went every week to the range, and practiced. I never seemed to improve. I literally would miss paper at 7 yds! One time, I got to the range and there was a guy there with a bag full of m&p 2.0s. He asked if I wanted to try one, and first mag I shot a fist size group. I have never shot that 19 again.
When I tell people this, they say “you didn’t train enough with it”. Why would you stick with a gun that requires 10x the training when there are other options as good or better. They obviously work for some people, but I really don’t think they should be “the go to”
@atomicsmith yeah, my advice is when buying your first handgun is to just make sure it feels good in your hands. Not too big or too small, and make sure you can manipulate the slide and all controls comfortably. I went in to my local gun store and said I wanted a full size M&P 9mm. The salesman brought out a G19 with the smith and asked me to handle it and tried to convince me of buying the glock I don't know why but I handled both and felt the smith was superior
I tell you though, I would want both the Glock 19/23 and a Sig P226. Both great guns I own.
Remember theres beauty in simplicity
Glock is def not a Jeep, it’s a Toyota Camry and I mean that in the best way! For the exact reasons you listed: It runs reliably, parts are cheap and plentiful, and it’s easy to do most of the routine maintenance yourself.
I love the channel, but as an old school Jarhead trained on the 1911….ain’t no way in hell I’m spending money on combat Tupperware 😂😂😂😂
So in order to…. You’re saying #1 is JMB and #2 is GG??
I've run into something recently I hadn't expected with my glock 43. Some 9mm ammo fails to feed correctly and jams. It's only one particular box of 9mm I bought so I compared the rounds to my others and they look slightly thinner. Not sure how there are two sizes of 9mm given that millimeters are millimeters but here we are.
Reason 1) to appreciate how far and how much better all the other newer polymer striker 9mm guns have become in the 30 years since the last time Glock innovated anything
Reason 2) Counter every Glock fanboy saying “You just wouldn’t understand if you don’t own one” with replying “But I do”
My Sig 226 has the edge on accuracy over my Glock 34 but the follow up shots are faster on the Glock for me. My gen 2 Glock 26 is surprisingly good, I bought it on a whim used for super cheap back in the mid 90’s. Hell I own two G19’s, great beater gun and daily.
I find it funny you called it "The Jeep Wrangler"of guns. It fits perfectly. Over priced and didn't do anymore than a 4runner (Taurus) can't do. Yet can do more because they have a restrike capability.
You taurus guys do anything you can to cope with the fact you spent $300 or less on some Brazilian junk. In NO world is a taurus in the same category as glock or s&w hell, id take a junk ass XDM before i would a taurus. They should change their slogan "Taurus, the king of cope"
