Ended up going with 19, 45 MOS and 17 - all gen 5
My reason;
19 = winter carry (G43x summer carry)
45 MOS = for a build
17 = bed side
Don’t judge me. Just wanted to justify my purchases lol
Nothing wrong there man.
I love this hahaha
I love everything
I'm with you brother
Lol facts bro I feel ya
I absolutely love my Gen5 G17 MOS. It’s a duty-sized handgun, but it’s my go-to piece to carry on my belt rig where I’m not concerned about concealment. With a RMR, the accuracy is unmatched.
Is full sized fun all day long
@@TacticalConsiderations I've run it for about 6 months now, it can be a pita if you are doing anything with vehicles. Especially when running Safariland.
I don’t own a G45MOS but I can relate with an M&P 2.0 compact, with a +2 extension. Well balanced piece of equipment with the ease of concealment and capacity. Great content brother.
Thanks for watching buddy glad you are liking that 2.0 great set up
I do not have the 45 MOS, but the 45 with reddot mounted. I went that direction as primarily a home defense with a slightly smaller slide with full 17 rd capacity. Plus I am now able to take that slide and mount it onto a G19 or G26. Couldn't be happier!
Lots of advantages to going that route
Just got a G45 (my 4th Glock) and I love it, it’s my absolute favorite Glock. Got it to replace my gen4 17 as my concealed carry. Also want to note that my 45’s trigger pulled 4.5lbs right out of the box, the moment I brought it home.
that's a solid trigger pull usually 5 or just under after lots of round is good.
I am also leaning towards the 45 for my first EDC. If I may ask, how is the concealability for you? Any trouble printing or with a good holster it's no big deal? I'm a 6'1 slim guy so I don't think the full size lower should be an issue for me but I'm curious.
@@charliegundlach8388 Concealment is fine, especially if you’re slim and set the holster up well. A foam wedge adhered to the holster will tilt the gun in. For best comfort, pair it with the Hunter Constantine concealed carry belt. The belt has a metal inlay to support a lot of weight, but also an elastic section so you can hold the gun tight against your body but it’ll still move and flex with you.
@@jeremycook5393 Thank you sir, my shopping list just got a bit bigger. I was looking for a new belt to carry with.
I have Carried the Glock 23, 22, 35 gen 3 for the last 15 years of police work, but now l am carrying a Glock 17 gen5 MOS with a RMR Trijicon for about a year and lm extremely happy. Good video.
Glad you are digging it..
My first purchase was a Glock 45. A great first gun/do all pistol imo. Great video again 🤙🏼
Definitely a good choice
G45 MOS with a Glock factory threaded barrel. This combination will maintain the advantage of the lighter weight G19 slide while being within a tenth of an inch of the full size barrel for ballistics.
I do love some glock 45
Glad I just now found this, I was thinking about getting the 45 tomorrow or Saturday and this helped!
Happy it was helpful
I see the channels growing! Awesome to see! Keep it up broski!
Appreciate it!!
I absolutely LOVE the g45. Just be careful customizing to use g19 for slide parts and g17 for frame parts
Parts are so hard right now
I’ve carried both in a duty holster but shot better qual scores with the 17.
For carry (especially here in the desert) I’ll go with the 43X w/Shield 15-round mags.
Thanks for the great videos!
43x mos with shield mags tlr7 sub is a huge win
I have a g43x mos and a g45 mos my 43x mos finds itself as a safe queen, due to the fact that the g45 mos just feels way more comfortable to me than the 43x, I don’t have very big hands either but the 45 mos is my EDC! Perfection!💯👍🏼
45 MOS is a good choice.
I love my 45 MOS. I put enough upgrades into my 43x that I could've purchased another gun. Then finally shot the thing and felt that I don't shoot as well with sub-compacts. Got the G45 and gave it a spin. Been in love ever sense. Moral of the story shoot guns first if you can before purchasing them.
I love the 17 and 45. One point that a lot of people tend to bring up in support of the 45, is for LE officers being able to sit in their vehicles easier/better and able to draw from sitting in the patrol car etc. However, I’ve never seen an LE officer, myself included, who did not run a weapon light (most notably the X300). So having an X300 would make the barrel length irrelevant to sitting as the light extends out anyway. So if running a bright light, then I think it’s a toss up. That extra sight radius of the 17 is there, but barely enough to make a huge difference. I have a TLR7 on my 45 so that works out, but for duty use I would rather an X300 which makes it a wash for barrel length.
But I totally agree that the 45 is a sweet overall option and I tend to use my 45 most of all Glocks I own.
Yup and inch less holster is nice when sitting
@@TacticalConsiderations for sure! Especially in the old crown Vic’s or newer impala/Malibu.
Oh God those old vics sucked
Some LEOs even carry a 34.
Got myself the glock 45 a few days ago, can’t wait to pick that baby up! I honestly always seem to lean on the “best of both worlds” when it comes to anything.
So the glock 45 naturally was my choice between a 19 and 17 which I both considered heavily 🤣
The 45 is my choice on glock and the 43x
After finding out that my natural point of aim is aligned with Glock's grip angle, I've been more interested in these videos. I know there's lots of great guns (i.e., Walther PDP), but since I have a natural point of aim with the Glock grip angle, I've been doing more research on them. I'll take any advantage I can get, even if it means 'compromising' and going with Glock. I appreciate these older videos because your opinions and insights on the platform still holds true to this day. Thank you Mike!
If you perform best wtih glock and its natural to you best to stick with it unless upon trying something you can borrow or rent feels better right off the bat.
Just watched this again as I just picked up a G17MOS. I got a 507K to mount up at the suggestion of my gunsmith. I think I might look into putting my 509T on it. It looks like with the TLR7 the two are the same overall length.
I wanted a 19MOS and was talked into the 17 because of the LEO use & availability of parts since 17/19 doesn’t interchange and with an extended mag in the 19 the play can cause impact that isn’t POA. My price in 9/2021 was $745
Can’t CCW here (Honolulu) so size isn’t a big deal.
glad you got what you were looking for.
I got the 19 . Going back to get the 17&45 . Glock, Sig, Canik are my top three brands to shoot
The 45 is my chosen one on glock.
I took the slr off due to printing I put the tti carry magwell and I love it its a perfect solution and works well without printing.
Yeah the slr regular can be a bit big for some to carry
I absolutely love my 45mos but I'm looking to get a 17mos as well! Great content as always bro!
Corey I found the 45 to be a great balance right off the bat
@@TacticalConsiderations it's my concealed carry every day!! It's got a holosun 507c
Great video. Love the G45. My Favorite gun to date. Thinking about buying the MOS version as well.
Always buy with opportunity to expand to an optic later.
I have the Gen 5 17 and 19 and really like the way that the 45 feels in my hand with the bast of both. AZ
I agree
Though in the desert SW, G43 and G48 for short pants pocket carry. However, G45 for EDC. Though it can be a bit tricky to not print, it is well balanced and the absolute best hand fit.
You have a solid strategy there.
Love your videos, man. Just got the 17 MOS now.
Awesome Enjoy it.
I have a 26 so I went with the 17. Good review!
Good choice!
I picked up my G45 MOS today for $620. I plan on getting to the range this weekend to try it out.
Definitely check back in
Great video!
I own both and carry the 45 and love it. My line of work puts me in some sticky situations and I trust my life to it. To be fair, I would trust my life to any pistol Glock makes.
I have a Lone Wolf barrel that I swap out when I go to the range because I shoot a lot of lead bullets but I always switch back. The Glock barrel is very accurate.
For sure man. I dig my 45 for sure
I love my G45, but I bought it early, way before there was an MOS version. When the MOS version came out, I started pricing options for getting my G45 to be optics ready (slide cut, Glock MOS upper, generic upper, etc.) and instead bought the IWI Masada, which is optics ready (comes with 4 plates so you're not locked into a single optic as with a slide cut), is physically almost identical to the G45 (except reviewers have preferred the Masada trigger), performs as well as the G45, and comes from a manufacturer who's reliability is up there with Glock. The difference (other than a more limited aftermarket for Glock fanboys): the Masada is about the same price as just a new MOS slide, since it's MSRP is just $480 (and can be purchased for as little as $402). So the Masada now replaces my G45, and my G45 now lives in a Command Arms MCK Gen. 2.0 PDW Conversion Kit, with an optic mounted on top. All is good with the world.
Sounds like you got it all worked out.
It’s better to get a non-MOS Glock and to have the side cut anyways.
My first was a toss up between the G19 and G17. Went with the G19 MOS. The flexibility and conceal ability won.
Yeah, for ccw, if your life depends on that +2 rds, you probably should train more and move to a better place.
It's all about what fits and works for you for sure..
@@anx2617 Funny, yet spot on.
Yep
G19 was my first too but that sparked my Glock fan boy syndrome and then bought a g17 MoS like a month later lol. The 45 looks interesting I’m just not sure where it would fit for any of my personal applications. I feel like I would just use the 19
I got both. Thank you for the review🇺🇸
Nice.
I'm going to be picking up a G45 soon non mos...I'm old School Iron sights
NO problem there.
YO! You should make a video of the best backpack/truck guns! Would love to see something like that from you man!!!
For sure man. I have a few things coming soon like that.
@@TacticalConsiderations heck yeah, super curious what your take is on that. I think it would be a good video for your channel for sure
G45 MOS wins for me because the TRL-7A holsters for my 19 work with it for carry. That I truly think is a big underrated factor. If I’m going longer than a G45, I’ll probably go a G34 then.
Its nice to have the same holster for the 19, 19x, 45 with a tlr7 set up.
Just get a 17 and put a 34 slide on it
Informative and Honest opinion base to Your experience owning both gun.
Thank you very much for I appreciate it
Good review. I would take a 19 over either, as my hands aren’t particularly large and I carry appendix. I own the 45/19X, as well as a 17/Shadow Systems DR920 and I’d say that the former seems to recoil differently and is easier to conceal-but the latter size is on my nightstand. I’m not a fan of the MOS system-would rather mill them-but they’re both great. Hard to go wrong. And the triggers in the GEN5 are significantly improved.
Is having a slide cut is definitely more secure unfortunately it's just an additional cost as well. How you like in that shadow systems
@@TacticalConsiderations I can’t recommend them enough, honestly. The MR920 is my EDC in non-summer months, having supplanted the P10C and a cajunized CZP07. The DR920 has a lot less rounds through it, but I really like it a lot so far. Great company-American-made-w great customer service. Huge fan of their optics mounting system which was what led me to them in the first place. And they do shoot a bit flatter than my Glocks. Just great guns. I can’t recommend them enough; well worth the extra 200-250 more than a Glock, in my opinion.
Awesome. It's been a while since I've run one
If you get a good grip on the 19 there is no reason to have a 45.
Thoughts on 19X vs DR920?
first, great video. I was never a Glock fan until I shot (then purchased) the G17 Gen5 (non-MOS). When I grip the gun, it just feels natural, and sized perfectly for my hands. I just purchased the G45 MOS and I am very pleased with both. I have no issue carrying the G17 AIWB, so I am looking forward to see the difference with the G45. I am waiting on my AIWB holster for the G45. Again, great video.
Thanks for watching this. The 45 is a great set up
Great review! Do you prefer to run standard height sights when using a Red Dot on a handgun? Trying to decide between Co-witness sights, or a cleaner sight picture with standard height for plinking purposes. Not a self defense handgun more of a range toy.
I will generally have sites that I can use through the window. Once I decide which sites I'm going to go with however I gear everything towards Carry
The 19 X and 45 Gen 5 where my first Glocks. I have only had them for a few months now. I didn't get them for a carry gun, I love my Sig 365 XL and that's my carry gun. I ran across a good deal on a new 17 Gen 5 so I got that one also a few weeks back. I don't see either being a problem for CC it would come to down to personal preference.
I like the way you're building your collection my friend
@@TacticalConsiderations I have went overboard in the last year. I retired last June and have gotten a lot of the guns and gear that I have been wanting. I have always enjoyed shooting and competed for a few years back in my younger days. Given the current conditions it's not a bad idea to be ready for whatever comes our way. I love the statement "Stay ready and you want have to get ready" That's not just a statement it's a fact! Thake care my friend.
Arliss congratulations on being able to enjoy some life in retirement. Stay healthy, stay fit stay ready and live life man.
Excellent vid as always my man!
What up Slim
I have a gen 4 17 mos love this gun have only 90 rounds thru it, first thing I did was put night sights on it and mag well. All around excellent
Nothing like that first range trip and good sights
A lot of fun for sure
I have a m&p sport 2 just put a holosun 503c on it but haven’t had a chance to get out with it yet changed all the furniture out magpul m-lock forgrip more virtual pistol grip and I forget which one but magpul butstock this where I want to get the 31/2 4 1/2 lb trigger your trying to find someone to give it away to lol
Great content as always sir!
Much appreciated enjoy the rest of the day buddy
The 45 is actually still good for LEO duty carry because they still get the 17 rounds but have the shorter barrel so when smaller LEOs sit in the car all day there is less muzzle pointing down. At least that is what I’ve heard some say that have come into the gun shop I frequent.
Yup I dig the 45 for all around use .
I'm 5’11”, and with my low ride mount it's next to impossible to draw smoothly in the car. The shorter slide really is noticeable in the vehicle.
On the other hand there are LEO's who even carry a 34 !
Nice!! 0600 in Cali right now and I wake up to this. I’m 4 weeks away from getting my Agency Arms G45 full build back…. It’s been gone 6 months.
I’m hoping my range master will let me carry this as a alternate duty. Easier in the holster while in a car, I can still conceal it in plain clothes and obviously it’ll take the Glock 17 mags so I’m in line with the rest of the agency (G17 Gen 5’s are Dept standards.)
Thanks for putting out good, relevant content.
How’s the fight coming along or it’s not going to happen
Oh man I hope it comes back soon waiting it's never fun but everyone's been so backed up
@@Chris09978 the range master has to inspect it, check the trigger pull and log it. It’ll happen when I get the firearm back. I anticipate he’ll approve it - I have two Agency Arms guns on the books already. 👍🏽 Yes, I’m addicted to the Gucci Glocks.
@@davidenriquez3464 nothing wrong with Gucci glocks lol, I’m thinking about getting an archon, I hope and pray that your firearm gets approved
Nothing wrong with that that's what you want run it
i would love to have the 17. i broke down bought the 45 and i love it... came a long 360 from what was my first gun hkvp9. im gonna get the 47 once its released 2023 few more months
Well sound like you have a plan
I'm a G45 guy or when I'm in summer clothes , or want some more freedom of movement while concealing, I like my 43x with shield arms mags and mag release
That's close to how I do it.
Just keep an eye on those Shield Arms mags. Had two that failed to feed and it definitely opened my eyes.
@@michaelschwab9563hmmm...you have me worries now lol. Thanks for your experience
I've run hundreds of rounds through mine zero issues. Although the gen 2 don't work with some aftermarket mag releases due to size changes
@@l337l0gan Well, maybe I got some bad ones. But I'm not the only one who's had issues. Definitely enough to scare you back to the Glock mags especially for Daily Carry
Bought all variants in MOS. G19, G17 & G45. Now trying to narrow it down to one so I can have the same holster, mags, etc.
If you get a straight open bottom holster like the Trex Ragnarok it accommodates all of them or the tier 1 msp
Great information !!
Is much appreciated ray have a good day
I don’t know why, but the 45 doesn’t quite feel as natural balance wise in my hand. Maybe because the grip tricks my brain into thinking it’s a 17 and it gets confused with the slide weight 😂 but my 17 just points and I feel there’s minimal need for adjustment to align the sights as compared to the 45. Maybe one day I’ll warm up to it as a dedicated carry gun. But for now, my 17 is king and surprisingly easy to conceal even with a t shirt and shorts
Your mind playing tricks on you lol
I have the gen4 glock19, glock19x, and glock20. I didn't get the glock 17 as there are just so many other alternatives besides that at that price point. I instead picked up a P80 which is same length as the glock17, and yet has better features, uses glock magazines and a better trigger over the glock.
You definitely did things right
I hate you sir , and now you need a g21 lol
I don't know how you don't have atleast 1mil subs. Your contents always great 💯
Well all good things in time. I will keep grinding.
even tho i despise intros, i must say your intro footage of you standing still shooting static targets, makes your movements look smoothe and precise. i know that under pressure most of these "skills" will go out the window.
Well for video I cannot keep the camera on me while moving but I've carried a gun for a living since I was 18. I am not as fast as I once was but I can still shoot, move and communicated when needed.
@@TacticalConsiderations and thats what alot of people do not have... the ability to shoot move and communicate. alot of these weekend warriors are just that. and they believe that their lone wolf tactics and standing still popping targets is whats gonna go down. unfortunately thats not gonna be the case. unless we are invaded by zombies. and thats doubtful. keep your skills honed and sharp.
Just put my Glock 45 in layaway. U ALWAYS have a video I can look up and go to soon as I get one or put one on layaway 😁😁😁😁.
It's a solid choice
I have a G19 Gen 5 , added a G45 MOS. Like it a little better. Also have a IWI Masada. That may go up for sale.
Very cool Gil. I have been looking at getting the Masada tac for the channel.
Hey man, if you look down into the screw holes, could you see the extractor on the G45 MOS?
I bought a G45 MOS to carry AIWB but it printed slightly so that's now my home defense weapon. I have a G43X for EDC with Shield G2 mags that's easier to conceal.
That 43x with sa 15's is so easy to carry
Try slingin a g17 down your trousers and then …. Yeah I’ll just stop there lol
Great gun reviews on this channel! I've got both of these and love them! Also love my 19x! I'll never part with any of my glocks
thanks Tyler that is very much appreciated.
What is diff from 19x and 45. Can u use same mags
Variety is the spice of life. G45 MOS, G17.5 MOS, Shadow Systems MR920, Shadow Systems DR920, and small boy Glock 43X.
I like spice.
I got a 19x I like it but I've thought about cutting down to a 19 more than once lol so I really like the 19 that back of my palm overhangs but it feels great in hand .
Well chop jobs can be done but a 19 might just be a better thing to get so you don't have to mess or pay for a chop.
Do you have any experience with the Shadow Systems MR920? I have been wanting to get a pistol that uses Glock magazines and between all the G19 clones the MR920 seems to be the best balance of price to performance/features on paper.
The reason why I don't want to just get a G19/G45 is because the MSRP at my local shops is only around $150 - $200 less than a base model MR920. So if I buy a G19/G45 and after market sights I'm already at the price of a stock MR920 minus all the features it has.
You seem to have a lot of experience with Glocks so your input would be greatly appreciated.
I have shot them a bit. I have the elite coming my way from a buddy this month so I will be doing a full video on it.
I just got a G45 MOS. Saving for a Holosun.
Very cool.
I'll keep my 19 I like the 15 rounds and shorter grip .I have a glock 19 x as my outside waist band though
Nothing wrong with that
I have Glock 17 gen 5 and am considering purchasing a Glock 45 gen 5 can I use the same magazines for both pistols, my concern is that I am only allowed to process 10 - round magazines when I live, so this will work or no
They will take the same mags.
Hi Sir, what kind of holster do you use to accommodate the light and red dot? I apologize in advance if you mentioned that or linked
Generally if available I will use a Safariland. Since I run so many different pistols the blackhawk omnivore is what I use for the channel. I have a video on it in the holster play list.
@@TacticalConsiderations Thank you!!
I have a glock 19x and 45. My glock 22 is the best for outside carry. I can conceal both 19x and glock 45 in my galco fastrax pack.
The 45 is a great all around size for me.
Love that SLR magwell.
SLR makes the sweet magwell man.
Can you do a review on the Holosun SCS? I'm curious as to how it holds up to live fires. Thanks!
Just waiting on one to come in.
Can't seem to find the video now but I noticed in it you had the SLR magwell on your G45 with the medium backstrap. Where did you remove the material to make it work?
Your thinking of the FACTR magwell for the gen 4. SLR magwells don't work with backstraps. some of te ZEV ones do for the smaller straps if I remember correctly.
My next Glock Pistol is going to be a Glock 45 MOS with the grey frame, suppressor height night sights, and a factory threaded barrel, straight from the factory. My EDC is a Glock 45MOS with a 507C & TLR7a. After about 2,000 rds ima send it to Jagerworks for some milling and will try out the Trijicon RMR Type 2 preferably the RM06.
Sounds like a nice plan you got.
I have the Gen 5 17 mos. was lucky to find that one locally.
It's been tough to find a lot of stuff for the past year and a 1/2
@@TacticalConsiderations , you’re right about that brother
Is the shorter slide better for a duty weapon so it doesn’t push down on the seat in a car in a duty holster for a smaller guy?
Can be for sure. Honestly between a 19 and 17 length slide there isn't going to be a diminished accuracy issue due to the minimal shorter sight radius
Mike, hope you are well. Question, can you tell any difference in the recoil between the 17 and 45 with follow up shots? I saw somewhere that the Glock 17 felt the same as the 45 with the Radian Afterburner, any thoughts from you. This would be for duty, and pretty sure we would not be able to run the comp. Thanks for the help.
I like the 5 just because I don't like longer barrels for duty holsters since they drive into the seat and cause you to contort your hips. And they have no real dis advantage to the 17. When it comes to ballistics and site radius those who think that difference is going to make an actual difference are likely not basing that is practical skill.
Thank you so much for your help my friend.
No problem.
Is it any difference between the two in AIWB when you throw the TLR-1 on them? Or do they both feel like a G17 at that point?
I use the same holster tier 1 msp so the size is not a factor.
@@TacticalConsiderations ok, I was originally going for the 17 but after your video and holding both, I’m leaning towards 45MOS
TC have you ever reviewed the Springfield Armory XDm 5.2 45 or 9mm? I see you have sorry I missed that one!
The only XDM I have reviewed is the Elite OSP which is up. The initial and well over 1k videos on that one.
They need to make a Glock 19 with a G26 slide on it. That way you're not dealing with extensions/base plates. but you'll have a short barrel and 15 rounds. Easier to carry appendix. Plus you can use all the fun sticks.
We need all the sizes.
I have owned both a g17 and several g22and now a g45. Out of all of them my favorite is the g45 hands down. Between the g45 and my 1911 is all I want for now as handguns .
The G45 is the one that fits me best on this platform.
@@TacticalConsiderations I am now starting to recommend the g17 or g45 to new enthusiast’s. Honestly I am dating myself but I remember when a lot of PD’s was starting to go to Glock. I have never liked the idea of “combat Tupperware “ and have disliked them but I do shoot really well with them! But I am starting to love my g45 more everyday!
I believe, not sure, the striker (tip) in the gen *5* has changed (stronger material) in design too?
The design of the Gen. 5 striker is different
The 17 is such a classic I know I’m alone on this one but I’m not carrying a 45 or 17 so the 17 is the biggest pistol I can shoot fast without that wobble I’m just romantic for the 17!🤯🔫🃏
Nothing wrong with that.
What holsters do you like for an OWB 3 o’clock position for a Gen 3 Glock 17? My belt is a Kore Essentials tactical belt.
Bravo is a solid choice for owb at a good price.
@@TacticalConsiderations Thank you!
Thank you for the review. What mag funnel is that?
SLR they are the cleanest out there.
@@TacticalConsiderations Thank you and shout out from Berlin
Gotta get me a G45 asap! What recoil spring weight do you run? Your slides rack with such ease and looks like you're using a very light recoil spring. Thanks!
They are solid I use all factory internal springs in these.
@@TacticalConsiderations - appreciate ya! 👍
How do you find the Mos plate system holding up over long term vs say, direct milled? SAGE didn’t seem super thrilled about the plates, recommends either different machines ones or direct milled, but a lot of reviewers seem totally cool with them. I have 17.5 regular that I got on a stupid awesome deal so I’ll mill it, but I haven’t thrown RD on my MOS 19 yet.
The plates I prefer are CHPWS they are a far better design with much more thread engagement. Agencies are now allowing direct milled slides for more firm mounting if officers want to do it. The MOS system is not a great system but it will generally take more damage than most will ever do to it. All really depends on how its going to be used.
@@TacticalConsiderations awesome info thanks! I’ll check out those plates as well. Probably never run my guns too hard to get that kind of damage, but good to have options 👍🏼
Forward Controls Design OPF-G is the better plate system IMO
Rock solid
love both for daily concealed.
easy to love.
Hey brother If you have a chance can you see if the Brownells G19 Gen 4 RMR slide will work with the G45? Thank you!
gen 4 slides will work on gen 5 frames but you will need a gen 5 backplate.
@@TacticalConsiderationsif you wanted to swap it back would the gen 4 slide with the gen 5 backplate still work on the gen4 frame?
I went with the g45 cuz the 19 frame was still a bit small for my hands. Felt like I was holding my subcompact shield 9mm when holding the g19
Solid way to go .
I recently sold my shadows systems mr920 (basically a g19) and I sold it with the intention of buying a g19 and kinda building it making it my own. Now I am debating the g45. My only hesitation is concealed carry. I carried my mr920 no problem appendix so I know I’ll be able to carry the g19 but I’m worried if the g45 will be too big? I really like the idea though of the g45. Thoughts?
well the grip may be a bit much depending on your body type with the 45.
@@TacticalConsiderations Well I’m 5’8 170. Pretty lean. Not sure if that favors me in this situation or not…? Gosh I really like the g45 though.
@@JohnnyBoy855 spend the money on a nice tier1 holster and printing shouldn’t be an issue
I’m really trying to find one in stock that’s the issue. Have a 19x and a Gen 5 19 with front serrations but want a g17
Hopefully it sill slow a bit things have been crazy for 2 years
I just sold my FN 509 Tac (disappointing) to buy a Glock 17 MOS(my first Glock!). I will be mounting a Holosun 507C for an optic. Which suppressor height back-up sights would you recommend? There’s so many options and conflicting opinions, makes it difficult to decide. Keep up the great work!
Good optic choice man. for back ups look into night fision they are what I prefer these days
@@TacticalConsiderations Thanks, man! I’ll look into those.
I have the Glock 45 but I need a holster for a do you recommend any good ones
CCW I run tier 1 or las concealment but there are many more. Duty rigs safariland, balckhawk, alien gear or comptac
I can't decide if I want to go Glock 45 mos or Cz p10c OR for my alternating EDC with my sig?
that is a tough one for sure. I like the CZ optics ready set ups a lot with the better ergo's and trigger.
@@TacticalConsiderations so what set up do you carry the most when not carrying the Sig
Right now the 43x mos shield s15 mags
If I could I would get the G45. Still waiting for you to make a video on the G30 😁
I need to dust off the old mini and throw some 45 led down range ..
Just picked up my g45 mos a few days ago.. going to be my EDC and first fully built handgun.. but I got my eyes on the g20 or g21 for my bedside home defense... Just don't know what to go with lol
The G45 is a great choice for all around carry and defensive use.
@@TacticalConsiderations thanks
What mag well are you running on the G45?
SLR its the cleanest G5 magwell on the market IMO
I must admit to being a little envious of the choice of firearms you can obtain in the states(obviously not Glocks) , and even with pandemic prices still cheaper than here in Finland.
Kilo yeah I can understand that .. In my travels around the world I have been to all kinds of places from the lawless to the over restrictive.
@@TacticalConsiderations Man I hate German gun laws.
Carried a 19 for 4 years. Switched to a 45 about a year and half ago and now also got a 17 recently and the Glock 19 is obsolete to me. There is nothing I can do with a 19 that I can't do with a 45 or 17 while having a flatter shooting gun with more round capacity. I'm not a big guy either so I don't understand arguments about concealability. There's no real world difference in concealability between my 45/17 and a 19.
glad you are liking the mix of 45 and 17. I rarely carry any of my 19's anymore.
Can't go wrong on neither one's! If only I can have one, I'll stick with the 17!
No arguments there from me. .
Love both the 19/17. 19 mos is definitely all around better but 17 mos I just like that lil extra barrel length for duty use
Positives to both
Hah! I fuckin found you
What holster are you using in the video? I like it
Jeff that is the Blackhawk omnivore .. Great for range use since it attaches to the light for retention so you can use just about any modern pistol with it.
Oh ok thanks ! I don’t like my gun attached to my belt it’s just to high up on my body if you know what I mean
I'd probably go G45 for CCW. Duty, probably the 17 but maybe even a 34 MOS. But! I do CCW a G19 appendicks
We all know you have them all already don't lie lol
@@TacticalConsiderations Actually, the only defense pistols I own is a G19 that I carry and a G34 that I keep in the car. Pistols are a concealable item / secondary backup. I prefer to put my money into my rifles / AR pistols. Sold a 7.62X39 AR for 223 and 9mm ammo before it all got insane prices and then sold a G43 to get the money for an R9 suppressor but that money went to bills. Just recently purchased one though
I have 2 cans in prison
@@TacticalConsiderations oooo which ones? I'm poor so I went yhm 😢
Just buy both of them! You sold me on the G45 and I really do love it!
I agree. Glad you're digging it
My store has a GLOCK G45 MOS FRT, is it the same thing? I've never seen FRT before.
That just means front serrations.
