Glocks are NOT the Jeep Wrangler of the gun world. They are the Toyota 4Runner of the gun world.
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
Jeeps flip over

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.
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
Blink twice if the glock fan club is holding you against your will.
If so a rescue plan is in order.
John and Paul are card-carrying club members, there's no need for that.
I actually thought that was pretty creative.
Must be Stockholm Syndrome here. Free to be a hostage and lovin it
Show me on the doll where the bad Glock touched you

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.
Its good to have at least a 17/19 in your collection. Parts, ammo and mags are so insanely common that its a good one to have in a SHTF scenario.
Own 4, love em all. My 43X MOS is my EDC. My 45 is Mr. Perfect. My 20 and 21 are for outdoors/woods/hikes, with Underwood hardcast +P.
I love my G19, but HK is the first plastic, striker-fired pistol.
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.
America, the only reason you need
The world
By this logic, it would be a usa made 1911.....
@@tomglpn one of those too😂
@@tomglpnI can't trust my 1911s nearly as much as I can my Glocks. Glocks are just way more reliable
Sadly I live in Canada....😢
Great timing on this video looking to get my first one.
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.
Carried a glock for 20 years on duty. It never felt right in my hands. Picked up an M&P m2.0 and felt natural from the first round. never looked back
It's the grip angle. Glocks have this crazy grip angle, that makes you tend to shoot high, unless you make an effort to cock your wrists forward.
I have also been considering picking up an M&P or even a Walther PDP. Glad I have a couple blocks as they will last forever. But after dry firing and practicing my draw for years…it still seems like I have to e intentional with the grip rather than muscle memory
@@careylymanjones
I concur 👍😎...
This is the reasons that I have 1911's - Sig's & Springfield striker handguns...
All about The Grip Angle...and I will include Supported chambered barrels... A few Glocks are Unsupported ,the 10mm is one of them and are famous for blowing out the side when using hot handloads...
MVP comment here
@@Briathos1 If you're looking at Walther you should seriously consider Canik. The quality is absolutely on par with any of the more well known brands. Canik actually manufactures autocannons for aircraft and .50bmg M2 machine guns too. They are making one of if not the best striker fired pistols on the market now. Mags aren't super expensive and there is an aftermarket. The new TTI Canik comes with a comp too which is cool and it's like $950 but you can get a normal Rival for $630 msrp or they even have a steel frame.
The guy who has won USPSA/IDPA nationals for like 3 years in a row has been using a Canik and he helped design the current iterations. The Mete SFT or Mete Pro would be ideal for a "duty use" type gun. The triggers are extremely good. The Rival is good if you don't mind a bit of length. The Rival especially has a fantastic optic mount and very high quality plates. Totally worth a consideration at least. For the price you literally cannot go wrong.
I have some videos on my channel showing my Caniks being fired including one that I put a comp on. So far I've only been able to put 100 rounds through the compensated gun but it was in -6 degree weather with -20 degree windchill with very minimal lubricant and cheap ammo and it still didn't malfunction. Overall I have around 7,000 rounds through my TP9SFX Rival and I have had exactly one malfunction and it was user induced because I overloaded a mag that had an extended baseplate.
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.
So you got a Beretta Glock? 😉
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.
@@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.
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.
Great video!
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.
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!
Love, both Sigs and Glocks!
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.
Love your content..just got my G19 Gen 5 in BFG…love it. 🔥
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…
@@jwilliams3170 never cared to be a hero,brother.Did 5 years in uniform and then become an Investigator with Major Crimes.Best job in SP.
@@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
My 1st was gen 2 has 90k rounds thru it 85k were steel case I only replaced recoil spring , guide rod and extractor
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!!
I’m a Sig guy
Actually, the Heckler & Koch VP70 was the first polymer striker fired pistol.
The Glock 17 was the first such handgun that enjoyed commercial success.
Love the extra takes.
Great reasons...thanks!
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.
Never forget that scene from Die Hard. It educated me and my friends about the dangers of Glocks for many years.
The ceramic handgun 🤣
BS
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.
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
Maybe you just have weird hands
@@felipetejeda7545 maybe so
Nice unbiased video.
Correction Paul, HK had a polymer striker fired pistol before Glock did. 😬
Indeed, the HK VP70 in 1970.
But it sucked. Glock did it right and set the trend to make guns polymer. HK didn’t.
@cbolton81 yes the vp70 sucked but it was the first striker fire polymer pistol. Glock had the first commercially successful striker fire polymer pistol.
@@cbolton81 But HK makes the finest now. Their engineering is leaps and bounds ahead of Glock.
Careful, glocktards are like mac fanboys, they get touchy when you point out the truth lol
What about those Glock plastic sights, odd grip angle, and that incredibly average trigger ? (Balled up and hiding under my desk now)
Thank you sir
Sold my Glock 19. Didn't fit my hand. However, my G17, G26, G30, G43, and my G20 totally rock!
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.
G21SF Gen3 is my all time favorite. I purchased it in 2010 and it’s still my edc.
Great video and great reasons. The Glock just does not fit my hand as the trigger reach is too far for me. If I had to go poly striker, and wanted to keep it a common platform it would be the M&P.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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.
Great Video!
Insightful. Informative. Entertaining :). And true! Well done, brothers! Love you guys!!
Still running my dads original LAPD service G17 from 1992. 10k + rounds and runs flawlessly!
LAPD didn’t authorize the Glock 19 in 1992 lol.
LAPD didn’t authorize Glocks until Bratton was Chief.
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.
Love my 1911's but I carry Glock G19 3rd gen or Sig P220.
I think it depends what your use to. I’m use to the 1911 government model from my days as a military Policeman
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.
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.
@@chrisragone8785honestly, you sound pretentious
@@joe_higachi No he's right. You guys are just sensitive tools
@@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.
Enjoyed the humor
My uncle was a cop for a long time, and when I started getting interested in handguns, he told me "If you aren't going to carry a Glock as a defensive handgun, you should have a justifiable reason why." I've carried Glocks for nearly 17 years, simply because I could never think of a reason not to.
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.
Facts its so good
I have a strong feeling you could give Paul just about any modern handgun and the results would be pretty much the same.
@@Joe-hz1nw it’s the Indian,not the arrow,right?
Glock 21gen 4 was my first
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.
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.
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.
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.
The hk was a grossly inferior polymer, terribly engineered gun. Horrendous trigger, and awful mechanics. But yes. They were first...
@@matthewwilson3475 But HK makes the finest now. Their engineering is leaps and bounds ahead of Glock.
@@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
@@matthewwilson3475 Less accurate? Bullshit.
@@johnharris8191hk sucks
I love these guys
(bring on the Haterade)
Proud firearms owner here. Don't have an "arsenal" like many of might. Only been into firearms the last 8-9 years. Nerd by nature, prone to paralysis-by-analysis.
First gun I owned...my paralysis-by-analysis narrowed me down to 3 pistols: S&W, Springfield and Glock. I really wanted to like a glock, but it felt so 'blocky' (echoing the 2x4 feeling in some of the research/reviews), S&W didn't really stand out to me... but feeling the XDM in my hand felt so dang good! They are all good pistols, so can't go too wrong w/ any of them, but I went for the XDM.
Thought it was going to be my only pistol, was already somewhat expensive for me, so even though all the ubiquitous gear for glock was available, I didn't think I would want to modify my pistol so I stuck w/ XDM since it felt so good in my hand already.
Still don't (completely) regret going w/ XDM, just as time has gone along, I do see there isn't as much gear being made for the XDM as there is for glock. That's really my ONLY issue about going w/ XDM.
Refuse to buy another pistol until laws in my state (Washingstan) change or I move to ID.
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.
her destiny is.. CHEESEBURGER!!!
I died .
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
I give poly striker guns crap, but even w/ the euro grip handicap, it's what I shoot best after hammer alloy guns. Besides CZ and walther
A featureless Glock still costs more than my suppressor and optic ready MP2.0.
Glock was fine back when they were the only good option, but now reliable striker fired tupperware is a dime a dozen, its not enough to merely exist anymore.
Glock is just behind, they cost more than they should and come with less than the competition.
They are 100% over priced for what they are.
I don't like Glock. Agree with you about the 2.0
Ya sure u keep telling yourself that 😂. In no world is a Glock any more than a M&P 2.0. My local FFL charges $650 for a g19 and $725 for a M&P 2.0.
@@9770G they charge the same but the glock isn't worth the price. if it was 2/3 of msrp then maybe.
I'm in CA and I bought a Glock 17 Gen 3 and just fired my first 100 rds through it. How often do you recommend cleaning and oiling it? Do you need to re-clean and oil it after a month if you haven't fired it?
John and Paul... What a Duo. They are the Spongebob and Patrick... The Bert and Ernie... The Frodo and Sam of WPS. Hilarious😂
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 was considering Glock vs Sig for edc and went with sig. Why? Because Glock didnt innovate for years and Sig is better in every way... Glocks are for glock fans but every other manufacturer offers much more.
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
I love knowing that my Glocks will always fire, no matter what. They have been in all sorts of conditions, thousands of rounds, etc., and always fire.
S&W M&P all day!
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.
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.
You're the main reason I purchased a Glock 19, and I hated every minute of it. There are SO many better options available nowadays, and ol' Grandfather Glock is the revolver of the modern era. Time to give up the ghost.
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 don't care for Glocks. However, other than the fact that they are not comfortable in my hands, I consider them to be great guns and find no fault in those who love them.
Same here. I tried to get used to them, but just couldn't. They never felt right in my hand.
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.
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 have several (for now), but my new favorite "Glocks" are made by Bul Armory. They are superb.
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
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.
Thanks again for an informative and entertaining video. Always appreciate the humor, especially these days.
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 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.
Jeep Wrangler is an interesting comparison, hadn't heard that one before. I had definitely heard Glocks being compared to Toyotas though.
I know it sounds like I’m lying, but I sold the only Glock I owned, a 19 Gen5. The reason, of all things, reliability problems. When shooting posted up one or two handed, there were no problems. But when doing deep retention shooting, it would “stove-pipe” every other magazine. And one time, it double fed. It wasn’t brand new, it was broken in, and I wasn’t holding it weakly.
My P320 compact had the same problem so I sold it. My P365 never had one malfunction. And neither has my current EDC, a Sig P226 MK25.
I don’t deny that Glocks have their place. And I probably got a lemon. But I will never carry a gun that consistently jams in any proper shooting position.
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!
I have a few of those new glocks called Canik.. they’re way more gooder
They are for poor people who want glocks

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 have around 20k through my first Glock. I’ve only replaced the barrel as well. It feels like home and other people can feel it too when they shoot it.
I own Glocks and Jeeps (multiple of both) I'm sorry but my Jeeps always need something, sure you can do a lot with/to it but I am always turning wrenches on them, not so much on my Glocks.
Ill stick with my HKs thx.

Glock 43X in my waistband, a 19 in the drawer next to my bed, and a 19X on my duty belt. Great pistols!
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.

The blocky grip and the strange grip angle are just uncomfortable in the hand. But they are supremely reliable.
Not even supremely. They are not better than any other modern polymer 9mm.
@@Gieszkannebut they are. There isn’t another polymer gun that out does the Glock on torture test or reliability test. Sorry. Your sig M&P or CZ isn’t better.
@@cbolton81 At least the HK USP does. And the other are not worse than Glock. Glock is nothing special at all anymore.
Try a 43x
@@Gieszkanneany vet or seal channel will tell you Glock is the ultimate combat pistol
