There are many choices of handguns to try. You don't have to limit yourself. A Glock is definitely good for a beginner but once you progress enough you can move up to something like a Glock or a Glock. If you're not into those you can always try a Glock, or my personal favorite the Glock. If you're feeling real adventurous maybe even a Glock.
🤣🤣🤣
I'm rolling around!!!!! I've been shooting Glocks since the 1980’s when I was a police officer!!! I own about only 30!!!!!!! I don't really care much for them otherwise!!!!!!!!!!!

Every “Glock guy” I know: I love my Glock, I just changed the sights, the trigger and added Talon grips.
Don't forget the guide rod and recoil spring
@@mrmorrisjh also the barrel and mill the slide
LOL ain’t that the truth.
Luckily, my only upgrade was a TLR-8 and ammo. Gen 5 shoots pretty well out of the box.
Where do I get the talon grips? I have a Glk 23 ,19 and 17.

Yep, love my MP.
Yeah I have to agree. There are better options either at the Glock price point or a little more like the M&P, FN, XD or even the Caniks.
I'm not going to buy an ugly gun if I don't have to. There are other options, and options that are just as reliable as the Glock.
CANIK ALL THE WAY!!!

Knowing that you are fully demonetized by UA-cam makes it even harder to deal with the ads that play on this video. They are still willing to make money off your work, they just aren't willing to share it with you because... reasons.
Ikr, Google sucks big time.
just fight back and get an add blocker, only suckers look at adds waiting for there video to start or for that skip option to count down

Why was he demonetized?
So UA-cam puts advertisements on your channel, but at the same time demonetizes your channel. Yeah, screw UA-cam.
If there is an ad, it is not demonetized. Maybe the issue got partially resolved. But in general gun channels struggle with ads and even if not all, some videos get demonetized.

I disagree that Glocks are ugly. I personally love the simplistic look of a Glock, it always seems like other comparable guns have too much going on with the design and is a turn off for me. Guess I'm alone in this opinion but that's okay.
I concur that Glocks are well designed. Timeless minimalistic industrial artistry. In my opinion they become ugly when people start sticking mods all over them.
Glocks are for edc soaking up ass sweat and nut gravy.. 1911,s are for hip carry cuz they are sexy forever ... god bless John moses browning!
guess that's because you see guns as tools rather than extension of your manhood.
Glocks are not ugly. It doesn't need unnecessary curves and shit.
Glock is that girl that you don’t want holding your arm walking into a restaurant, but that head is toe curling on point good and the same every time. So u keep her around because shes consistent, and she swallows. Basically it just works and does what its supposed to do 😂😂😂.
I love my Gen2 Glcock 17 and it saved my life a couple times on duty so it will always stay in my safe BUT a few years ago after I retired after 30 yrs mainly in police special units I bought a PPQ m2 9 5" and it just had that little bit more refinement, super trigger, excellent pointability and nice grip. Naturally it was a bit more than I paid for my Glock back in 1992 AND I upgraded just about everything under the hood of the glock to update its functionality but between the two I have excellent all around self defense and competition handguns. Out of all the years and ammo put through both I have had ZERO malfunctions and that is a testimony to the steady reliability of handguns. Though I am a Glock lover also, your points are very valid my friend. Thank you for the great content on your vids. Stay safe, keep shooting.
Officer with your personal experience should I give it to my mother
I own 6 Glocks and have been firing them since 2000. I’ll take my HK VP9, Walther PPQ, and Sig’s all day long. You’re spot on with facts, not opinions 👏
I really like my G19 and G26 but like many have already said, your points are spot on.
I got the 19 cuz the 17 was to big and the next smaller one i thought was a bit small and less comfortable to shoot targets etc i thought the 19 was able to do both.
But I now think I should have got the smaller one as a carry gun and then something else as a range gun or open carry.
@lil pjat the 26 feels like butter in my hand
I like glocks, but I prefer Smith and wesson. I've had great customer service from Smith and wesson. I bought a shield 1.0 and the recoil spring assembly was slightly bent. I contacted Smith and wesson. And with no hassle whatsoever they sent me new recoil Springs. Not one, but two! Excellent customer service if you ask me.
Not trying to play devils advocate but I've had horrible customer service from Smith and Wesson. I received a gen 2 shield with tool marks cutting through the rifling in the barrel, and it took 3 calls for them to even agree to take it back. When I described the issue to the last customer service guy he cut me off mid sentence and asked "is it excessive tool marks?" Must be a common problem . . .
I've had S&W send me parts completely free that I needed, even when I told them I made modifications to the firearm that possibly voided the warranty. I plan on replacing my Glock 19 with a Compact 2.0 soon.
Night sight popped out of my shield 2.0. It was replaced, no questions asked.
I had the exact same issue with my shield performance center 1.0. Same response, two new recoil springs sent to me for free no issues.
All American is mantra with firearms. After I buy American for every role I might need, then I would buy commie guns. Makarov, sks, AK, Vepr etc.
Never have I had an issue with them. I have the 23 which I bought when I was 21. At 51 i got the glock 29 for everyday carry and couldn't be happier!
My 1st glock was the 23 also and I picked that up at 22yrs old. Aint the prettiest but still runs great now at 43
I shot my G23 today at the range. Ran perfect.
The trigger is what steered me away. Everyone says "but its a hundred/two dollars cheaper than a sig" but the expense of replacing the trigger eats that up instantly, and if you dont do it yourself (its very easy but some arent comfortable doing it, i get that) it actually ends up costing way more.
Glock and SIG are comparable in price nowadays with Glocks even coming out more expensive. The trigger issue is really only a problem for anyone not using it for duty use; I would never change a Glock internal component, such as the trigger, because now you're compromising the overrated reliability.
They're not for everybody, I would much rather suggest a SIG for anyone considering buying their first/carry handgun.
Yeah Sig isn't more expensive anymore for the polymers. The 22x series still much more
~When I switched from the 1911 to the Gen-1 Glock 17, I haven't looked back. I'm 70 and I'm not going to change now.
~Too many pistols have too much writing on their slide for my taste. I really hate it when the pistol has 'see owner's manual before use' or similiar wording on the slide.
~I love the simple look of Glock Pistols.
Sir, couldn't agree more. For me, 1911 was an icon. And Glock 17 was a revolution. Both classic pieces i love
I completely agree. Ive wanted a Glock for years and finally got my first one the other day, a G48. Unequivocally love the look and design of Glocks. My first 2 pistols ive used for the last 5 years are Hi Points(9mm and 45), so my G48 is a huge upgrade.
A gun being ugly never bothered me. Function and reliability first.
Get a high point. It's ugly, way cheaper and probably more reliable.😂😂😂😂
@@streaydog019 I hope that's sarcasm. I am all for Hi-Point but for a FAR different reason. Cheap throw away handguns help low IQ quick to violence idiots chlorinate each other from the genepool. I'd never buy one myself and it's not a snobbery thing either. I have multiple guns I paid less than $200 for.
It wasn’t too many years ago when H&K’s customer service (CS) was viewed the same way. Once their VP9 series guns came out, and I own two of them, I noticed a distinct improvement in their service. It’s hard to put specifics on this but you know when you talk to a CS department whether or not you are being given the idiot treatment. I think part of the problem is that Glock and other military and law enforcement gun makers would prefer not to deal with civilian markets. Great video.
@@anthonyarcher7268 that’s why I like Sig Sauers!!!!
Thanks, Outlaw. Great review. Very educational. I especially appreciate your honesty, and education. Your review coming from a long time glock user carries a lot of weight....welcoming and very helpful to newbies like me just getting back into the market. Thanks for covering a range of other pistols in your comparisons as well. (I really like the looks of those 509s) Side note: I picked up a surplus CZ 75 compact (Mar 2021), put a new factory guide rod and spring (that's all) and it eats up all ammo no prob. Same for a new CZ 75 PCR (Feb 2021). Price points were $400 + $30 shipping and $650 + $30 shipping; respectively.

@@Ryan-gz6ymikr, the fuck would I care about some ghey homeless kids in Iowa
The main appeal to me with Glock is their ubiquity. You can get Glock magazines, parts, accessories and holsters virtually anywhere guns are sold. Despite all their "imperfections" (see what I did there?) they remain the industry standard handgun and likely will for the next decade with the recent adoption by the FBI, Secret Service, Border Patrol, Coast Guard and so many other Police agencies. Although I do agree the market has become so hyper competitive that there are objectively superior options available if you are willing to give up the cottage industry of support that Glock has behind it.
Agree on the parts/accessories for the most part. Unless you're like me and only use the G27 & G33 (.40 and 357 sig), all the cool stuff available for the 19/43 is much harder to find.
I do not care about 90% of the after-market stuff. I shoot stock everything, almost. I figure If you can shoot a standard, non-Gucci'd weapon, you can use any pistol effectively.
@@dazzling3237 are you having trouble finding aftermarket parts for the G19?
No matter how many times you hear that a Glock is a reliable pistol,keep in mind that it is actually one of the worst ever.
The polymer under body,lack of any safety at all (keep the firepin bullsh#t away,it is just a showpiece) and the ugly design,on top of other numerous defects make it one of the worse pistols.Just because it is made by an American company,doesn't mean it the best
@@tullo5564 Glock is an Austrian company. And looks are entirely subjective. You have no idea what you are talking about.
VP9 doesn’t have water lock issues. That was only in the very beginning and H&K fixed that quickly. The problem was a weak guide rod spring. That gun would shoot submerged for days, no problem. I own a couple and tested this myself.
Thanks for specifying. I was wondering about that myself. Great video nevertheless.
I just love hearing that steel ring. Sometimes I think you're making music, on purpose.
Those $500 glocks should be somewhere in the mid $300 range. That'd make them a little better but they'd still be ugly.
Jon James Your right they really should be between $300-$400.
That’s ultimately why I opted for the M&P 2.0 in 45 ACP. Found it new for $405 and it came with a hard case, the adjustable back strap kit and 2 magazines. It’s an absolutely awesome gun and it’s very comfortable to shoot.
Soooo ugly.
I think the glock is a beautiful pistol, and I bet that there are millions all over the world that think so too!
So don't get yourself a glock! I dont care!
I did and will be getting glocks all the fkn' time!
They are the most reliable guns ever and that is what matters and not no girly conclusions of a glock "being ugly"! Glock is a pistol to kill, it is a useful tool in hands of a professional, and it is not a girl to get married to!!!
@@Wightzebra soooooo beautiful!!
Glock is a pioneer, but like most pioneers...... its being left on the side of the trail
No its not.
@@Pabloperes675 kind of, they're not really innovating, just kinda making the same gun over and over with minor tweaks here and there
I wouldn’t be surprised if Glock will become the Kodak of the gun world
Pioneer how? Believe it or not, Glock wasn’t the first to make a polymer striker fired pistol. Just better marketing.
@@rustyshackleford9604 "if it ain't broke dont fix it". Sometimes old and proven is better than new tech.
Very well spoken, clear and concise. This makes me feel better about not caring for my Glock but loving my SIG 226. The SIG feels better, shoots better and doesn't claim to be dangerous with reloaded brass like the Glock. I still have the Glock because everyone thinks I must have one but I usually just leave it in the safe when I want to be serious at the shooting range.
I agree 100%! My Glock wasn't nearly as reliable when I changed all the parts on it. lol 🤦♂️
I see what you did there
But the one that broke was stock... so your point is moot
Me watching this while filling out the forms for the 8th glock.
If you didn't keep losing them in boating accidents you wouldn't have to keep buying them.
Got my first Glock a 19x eats everything I have fed it like it a lot this coming from a 1911 fan
Glocks are awesome. Will never sell any of mine

Same.
I can share a cool little anecdote about glock reliability. I was a shooter in a research project done by the US military about pistol reliability and shot both the Glock 17 and the Glock 22 for it. Both pistols scored a mode value of 96/100 tied with the majority of other handguns we tested. The conclusion myself and other shooters came too was that pistol reliability among service weapons was basically an irrelevant talking point.
Exactly, in today’s market there are so many equally reliable if not even better choices!
@@applepie1911e Reliability should be assumed, not considered a feature.
I like that you mention you're somewhat of a fanboy, it means you're taking it all into perspective and giving objective viewpoints. Good advice I say, because when it comes to a personal defense weapon like a pistol, it should be personalized, something you are the most comfortable with if a crisis situation happens.
The Honest Outlaw is the most reliable weapon. Only problem is it’s tough to conceal carry him.

Glock is resting on its laurels. They're at risk of becoming passé if they don't step up their game in the next 5-10 years.
Too late.
What are you talking about they just released gen 5 with front serations...leading the way again.
If Glock doesn't make an effort too keep up with the other Gun manufactures Glock could become the Blockbuster Video of the Gun world in the next 5-10years.
@@Tulare73 naw Glock still has the best leo discount of any manufacturer and many gun owners think that if cops use it they must be the absolute best.
@@FlexingtonSquare I and many others don't have the luxury to get the LEO discount from any Gun manufacture. People should believing just because the cops buy them doesn't mean they are the best. I own Glock's so I'm not bashing Glock Im just stating a fact based on other striker fired gun brands I own.
I have to agree about the less than spectacular customer service. I had a problem with a brand new pistol with frequent malfunctions and they implied the problem was with me rather than the pistol. I have been shooting for 20 years and it was my third Glock purchase. The few times I have interacted with Ruger or Springfield customer service, I found them to be much more helpful.
I have owned 10 Glocks over the years still have 4. Never once have any of them not worked properly . Had had some magazine failures . That’s about it
My EDC since 2005 has been the Glock 36. It has been reliable and I'm used to it and practice with it constantly.
Damn son, I feel like the 36 is the least reliable out of the glock line up. Glad to hear yours is going strong
Old Gregg IKR? The 36 was always the turd of the glock line
My Glock 36 is my back up gun and has been my most reliable gun as well lol. Another friend of a friend has it as his EDC and have for about a decade.
G36 is I think the annoying Glock. It fires accurately and reliably like the others although only carries 6 +1 rounds and cannot use the magazine with other 45 ACP Glocks. It’s annoying because my G36 extract the hot shells directly on my face and sometimes shoots inside my shirt. Now I don’t know if I’m the only one experiencing it but I know one owner of the G36 tells me that his, kicks the shells over his head. 😂

I have a gen 1 glock 43 and a Gen 3 glock 19, but as a lefty I've come to love the HK VP9 and VP9SK and they are my EDC. I have a Gen 1 M&P Shield as well.
My wife has two Glock 19 pistols and loves them. One is a Gen 4 and the other is a Gen 3. I had to swap out her extractor part in the Gen 3 because it would eject erratically sometimes hitting her in the head at least once every mag or two. I thought it was her grip, but it happened to me and others.
My only complaint are the plastic stock sights. I do shoot high when shooting the G19, but you adjust and a shoot accurate enough with Glocks. I shoot extremely well with HK VP9 and VP9SK. For me it was good to have all of these pistols and transition to the one I currently carry. I would say we are all blessed with the various types of pistols to choose from. Once you find the pistol that meets your needs stick with it, but keep an open mind for other brands and models that come out.

I wouldn't trade my Walther P- 99 AS for anything! Especially not a Glock!
I never owned a Glock because of wearability and friends say they wear out. Bought a new Kimber Ultra mag and it was absolutely beautiful and got stollen before I shot it one time. You have performance testing on it?? If purchase another May buy medium size. ? Have Walther that are great. Kimber got to be a killer top rated pistol. Got blueprinted Colt .38 that’s unbelievable. What your opinion. Lots of used Glocks on market. Many are shot out. True or false?
I have four Walthers, but have yet to need any customer service.
I used to have a number of odd questions about glocks, like "why does Glock do this", until I got my first Glock 19, gen 3, several years ago. No more questions. I love it. Not a crazy fan boy, but I really do love it. The beauty IS the simplicity & functionality. The odd grip angle: I think I shoot better with it. I think it sort of forces me to do something with my grip that helps me shoot better. They should start putting them out with decent sights from the factory... still hard to beat. I hope I can eventually get a G26. I have a Taurua G3c... it looks cool, but mostly sux. Oh, for reference: I have also owned Walther PPQs in the past, sweetest shooting gun out of the box I ever owned. I measure everything from the Walther baseline.
Agree. Dont know why people think they have to have a Gucci firearm to be the best. Oh well. Different strokes for different folks. I think the simplicity and lack of extras make it what it should be. A dang good firearm that wont let you down.
@@stumpshot9970 gucci firearms are a niche market. Do I need them? No. Do I want something pretty to look at when I'm cleaning it, shooting, or bored at the house... yes. Absolutely. As long as it functions like a factory built. The more gucci the better for me. Although to your point if anyone thinks a gucci gun will make them the "best". They've been watching too many tacticool youtubers. I started practicing with the cheapest guns one can buy at the shop. Now my preferences have changed. That being said I'm far from the best, but quite proficient. Gucci talk aside. My favorite carry is a factory Springfield hellcat with a hogue grip being the only modification.
@@stumpshot9970 Good sights on a gun are not gucci! Lol.
Perhaps for you top shelf, split timers, different gun edc every day switch outs, a different tool works better. But for many home boys like me we consider things like: if it's not broke don't fix it (I never owned a glock that malfunctioned), most Glock owners don't pile on a ton of aftermarket 'upgrades' then blame Glock when they don't shoot like they just came out of the box. I've got several glocks to choose from but my box stock Gen3 G32, my first glock purchased 11 years ago is the one pulling security 24/7. And it's beautiful OD frame, black slide, looks and feels sleek. Best pointing Rosco I've ever had. It's got everything I need and nothing I don't need. Still like your channel big-time though!!

Many fine pistols available but for their simplicity of disassembly, cleaning, assembly, and use. Glocks are a great choice.

I have many pistols, Sig, S&W, Ruger etc, my hands down favorite is the Springfield XDM, it's a great gun.
G19x is awesome! I’ll go to war with it. 😂
Owned many pistols. Settled on Glocks for the "goto." Does what I need. Simple. Reliable. Accurate. Fast. Modular.

After getting my concealed carry permit last year I went to look at some Glocks. The guy asked if I had seen the Hellcat. I picked it up and fell in love with the feel. That particular pistol fit my hand perfectly unlike the glock that felt kind of awkward.
I have a glock and a hellcat. Both are great guns. I carry my hellcat more often than not
I prefer the hellcat grip for sure

I work for an armed truck company they wanted to buy glocks for all the CA branches. Which would of easily been 300+ pistols. And we ended up getting sigs because no one would call or email back to purchase with Glock. And they tried for months due to them being half the cost of a sig but had no luck getting Glocks attention lol.
Pablo armenta salesmen missed out on some great commissions... 🤦🏽♂️
CoJo2744 yup. Brinks bought FN 509 for all 48 states until they realized those arent on the CA Roster. Sooo thats why they tried to get Glocks but they Fckd up bad lol

They haven't kept up with the rest of the gun companies.
They don't need too.
And yet Glock sells more guns than any other gun maker in the world.
We've spotted the fanboy!
They don't need to NOW but if they don't keep up with innovation they'll fall behind.
B real That’s true but they also give killer deals and servicing to Leo and military, To a lot of people they just aren’t worth what they’re charging
I just bought a new Glock 17 Gen4, 9mm. And I love it, I agree with you on the grip it took some getting used to but the more I shoot it the better it feels. My next one will be the G-19 G-5 since it does have a smaller and better feeling grip. By the way the 17 did come with two snap on grips but for me it's more comfortable without them.
No matter how many times you hear that a Glock is a reliable pistol,keep in mind that it is actually one of the worst ever.
The polymer under body,lack of any safety at all (keep the firepin bullsh#t away,it is just a showpiece) and the ugly design,on top of other numerous defects make it one of the worse pistols.Just because it is made by an American company,doesn't mean it the best
If you have to "get used to" the Glock grip angle, while you don't for another brand... then why would you ever carry a Glock for protection? In a life or death situation I don't want to have to remember to compensate for a bad grip angle. I want a gun that points naturally for me. That is the main reason I have never owned a Glock. I think they are decent guns otherwise. I'd like to find out why Glock chose the grip angle they did. It is very puzzling.
I'm an "old school, heavy metal" type of guy. NO plastic guns for me. Did buy a Ruger Security 9 and SOLD it four moths later. It jammed and had an awful trigger. Have owned (or was issued) 1911's most of my life. Not a lot of capacity but very good triggers and very accurate 25 yards in.
Hopefully my Glock will stay holstered and no one will know I carry an ugly gun
When you have a problem with your "ugly" Glock, buy another gun and carry that, and not the Glock.
If you have to draw your weapon will you have enough time to look down shamefully, kick your toes together and mutter an apology before capping all three of them?
I like the look of Glocks. I just got a G48 the other day instead of a P365 XL

Out of curiosity, is Paul Harrell one of the other two?🤔
I do agree with most of what you are saying. My 5 inch M&P 2.0 .40 has a much better feel and trigger than ANY of my Glocks. As far as ugly...well, we all know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. To me, a Glock has a true workman like look to it. It it exactly what it looks like, a good, reliable self-defense tool.
I describe Glocks as durable, reasonably accurate, and reliable. There is no excuse for not having a better trigger and standard night sites today.

#6 - Overpriced for the product you get! Sights, Triggers and nothing but a basic pistol than kinda sucks overall for the price.
if the glocks more reliable than the 400$ competition then the price is justified. I’ve yet to hear anybody argue s&w’s reliability trumps or is equal to glocks.
@@sosilverraider7119 then you have not tried to look. Hundreds of torcher tests on s&w vs glock
Count Cristo a ruger American is around 400 and has been torture tested through tough weather and 10,000 rounds without a malfunction. It is a duty pistol, built like a tank but it’s still around the same size as the Glock 19
I never worried about appeal with glock..i tried all the heavy hitters 25 years ago and the 17 really stood out to me..shot it well and easy to carry..i keep them stock ..and plan to stay with glock..
That's the thing. Heavy hitters 25 years ago. Way way better options now. There was a lot of guys running government model 1911's or old Browning HI powers in the 80s said the same thing about Glock and those guys were wrong then. Glock is just outdated now
I have a Glock 17 9 mm and LOVE IT! I've put a LOT of rounds through it with no jamming at all. What I REALLY like is how easy it is to disassemble, clean and re-assemble. Almost goof proof. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but for me, I'll keep my Glock.
I agree! I have approximately 12,000 rounds through my G19 G4. Mostly my reloads and I have nothing but trust with this firearm. I just picked up the Staccato C2 and so far so good. But my G19 just holds a certain spot in my heart. I guess less is more.
I knew that I didn’t like glocks, now I have more reasons not to buy one. SERVICE- RUGER fixes problems FAST. Love S&W! Have an Airweight 38spl+P 5 shot & a 686 357 magnum 8 shot love em both! Own several RUGERS ! NEVER had any problems!
Alright Elmer Fudd
Imagine letting someone else dictate how u live your life lmfao. My glock is dope. It's not my sig bit it's great
I loved my 43x but I traded it for a p10F. I love the p10 series and want the p10C next. Maybe a p07 in the future as well.
Glock has been resting on their laurels for decades. I recently bought a C.Z P09 duty and couldn't be happier, well balanced and a real tack driver.
Gen 1, 2, 3, 4, & now 5. Any one of them will help save your life.
@@GplusGains true, I work with company issue gen 3 and 4's and you can stake your life on them out the box.
I was considering a gen 5 for private use but once I held my C.Z. P09 it was a done deal.
That’s a bummer to hear about your experience with customer service. They went above and beyond replacing something for me that was my fault. Fwiw, this was 5+ years ago.. great videos man!
I’m glad I opted for the Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 in 45 ACP for a little over $400 brand new. Such a damn nice handgun...excellent grip with adjustable backstraps, good stock trigger and is pretty darn accurate right out of the box. My first M&P and I would highly recommend this series of firearms.
5 months late but fuck it.
I love my full size 9mm 2.0
The tan one with the longer slide, best pistol i have shot and beats g17 and 19s all day for me.
I completely agree with your comments about the Glock.
-the grip angle is very tilted and not ergonomical, if you shoot with other guns like 1911, you would have trouble getting used to the Glocks grip angle.
-Trigger feeling of the Glock is very bad, feels mushy and the end of travel feels hard, affecting the shooting accuracy.
There are other better options on the market like Springfield XD & CZ guns, that would be a better buy.
And that’s why the P80 PFC9/PFS9 is a great option if you really want a Glock now days. You can use OEM Glock parts if you’d like, but the frame contains everything most people pay for on actual Glocks. Great grip texture and angle, double undercut on the trigger guard, and an actual accessory rail.
I love my Glocks, S&W’s, Sig’s and Ruger (revolvers).
I have the rap. It's a nice gun. It just lacks factory/aftermarket options.
I'm looking at getting a sig. I really like the rap takedown, but i like having upgrade options.
Great video. I use to be a glock fan boy but then there is better out there in every aspect.
Grips are a personal preference. Love my Glocks, and my Browning HP. Will definitely add to the Glock collection
This comment puzzles me. Started pistol shooting with a safety and familiarization course that had us fire all kinds of guns. The 1911 shot well for me, the Hi Power was dead on, and I couldn't hit the paper with the Glock. Still never been able to hit paper with a Glock, though to be fair I stopped trying them ages ago. I bought a Hi Power and a 1911 because why waste time and ammo trying to make a Glock work when I can start somewhere workable? Now I've got a P320 and I love it, especially since I got a CoolFire for it. CZs always shot well for me too, since they were inspired by the Hi Power, but I've never owned one.
I used to work at Glock, and let’s just say I agree with you on most things. However there is no doubt that glocks are a great firearm to start off with. Especially for me since I know the internals like the back of my hand.
Glock are like Apple. They took something and made it great for the time. They developed a fan base that doesn't question. The competition has long since past them in terms of quality and features. The fan base remains. I won't buy another one.
I like your view on this.
I always compare it to a Barbie Doll, there's always more accessories.
I've owned several glocks and they're ok. I guess everyone has their favorites and mine is an FNH FNX .40. IT just works for me .
The fn fnx is such a great firearm. Cant wait to get one
Just picked one up, came with a .357 SIG barrel. Can't wait to try it out
I never owned or shot a 40 but I like the caliber. I don't understand the hate it gets. Looks like a good option if you want a little more powerful round than a 9mm.
40 cal please
@@smithnwesson990 40 is like so underrated. I truly believe it's one of the hardest hitting cals right up with 357s n 45s, but 40 beats them hands down with capacity Factor.
In our shop we only carry the 19 Gen 5 and the 43X. Sig, and to a lesser degree, Canik, have taken over the local market.
My first was a Glock 48. It actually had the 3 dot sight standard and I haven’t had problems with it so far

Excellent video. Usually a video with "5 reasons I don't like my _____" are frivolous. I have to say looks are not on my list for any handgun including the HiPoint. But after having a dozen Glocks since the mid 90's my main complaint is the grip shape and angle. The strongest point for me is the magazine reliability and selection. (Useable on my KelTec S2000.) It was the 2nd Gen 23 with an extra 9mm that unseated my 1911's, but I agree that now there are better choices. I can naturally point and shoot with the 1911 grip angle, but I shoot high with a Glock and I envy those that have the talent to switch back and forth.
One word: Sig 2022.
@@dougreid2351 SIG as a tool, excellent. In my hand, no go. I spent too much time in a friend's pawnshop and was intent on holding and dry firing every center-fire handgun that came through. Compared to other pistols, the SIG models had a long reach to the trigger, a mediocre DA, heavier, thicker, and expensive. I would have to say that although SIG is a company that I respect, none of their pistols are for me, with one exception: the P365. But thanks anyway.
Haven’t taken the Glock 17 out since I bought my Canik. Better full size imo, and cost me half the amount. I’ll prolly sell the G17 and buy a Walther or CZ to replace the G43 soon.
Own a Canik TP9SA. Awesome gun.
What would replace the 43 with by CZ? I’ve been carrying my 43 all summer and like it, but am thinking of expanding my arsenal to include some CZ pistols. First on the list is an SP01 tactical though
My walther PPQ continues to impress and I have had it for several years! Just so much fun to shoot and I can speak to the quality of thier customer service. Mine started failing to lock back, turned out to be a broken slide stop, sent it in and got it back in like a week. Great Customer service.
The thing that keeps me from buying a Canik is Century Arms.. Their CS is horrible..
The Ark I had a Canik TP9 SA, and I really liked it. I just bought the Canik TP9 SFX, and I FREAKIN LOVE IT!!!!!! I wouldn't trade it for 3 Blocks. No lie.
The Glock debate cracks me up. Why buy something that doesn’t feel terrific in your hand. Then you have to upgrade the hell out of it until you’re satisfied and happy.
I shoot best with a Glock. It wasn’t my first gun but it was my 3rd iirc. After I felt I shot best with it, I did all my training on Glocks, and so now I definitely shoot best with a Glock. No issues with the grip angle or anything.
To hell with any problem I live in Australia I would love to own any Glock or any gun if we were aloud to own them
Allowed?
“A person must have a firearm licence to possess or use a firearm. Licence holders must demonstrate a "genuine reason" (which does not include self-defence) for holding a firearm licence and must not be a "prohibited person".”

Evidently I hit the jackpot as a complete newb when buying my very first handgun; a CZ75 SP-01 😎
That was my first as well but I did a lot of research and fired a few kinds of pistols first before deciding the SP01 would be the best I could buy for $700. After all the upgrades and taxes and fees I put into mine I've dumped like $1300, but when I take it to the range all the old guys stop to remark about how good my groups are 😂
The Glock looks great. Simplicity is beautiful. HK VP9, Canik TP9 Elite, Walther PPQ, Sig P320 all have more aesthetic additions but the Glock in no way looks bad.
Amen!
@We Are Anonymous $700 for a G17? How did it feel going In dry?
@We Are Anonymous - You got screwed paying $700 for a GLOCK 17. Glock 17's can be bought new for $500.00.
You got ripped off bad, my local gun store sells them all day for 500$. Just got a Glock 19 5th generation for 450$ out the door.
I wasn't a fan of Glocks...until I was an owner of Glocks. After owning/tradings 100s of guns over the years, I can honestly say that for the price and functionality out of box, it's hard to compare to any other stock gun of the same price range
Was the problem that Glock wanted to charge for the fix or that they simply wouldn't offer the option to fix free or with fee?
Having one company say no to fixing a used gun vs. another company saying yes to fixing a gun that was dead-on-arrival isn't the same thing.
It was just a bad frame. They should have fixed it.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 bad frame or hot ammo?
A gun that doesn't work out of the box is a no brainer, but one that has been used excessively might warrant different questions, yet as a glock owner i know glock has to be able to handle hot ammo, so that defense (excuse) goes down the drain.
But I'd chalk it off to "glock USA didn't have their shit together", i hope they have improved.
Like millions of others i am happy with my purchase.
The grip angle of the Glock is why my first gun was a Ruger. The Glock didn't feel good to hold and didn't point naturally for me.
That is not the fault of Glock. You did the right thing and bought a gun that suited your hands...unlike most other people. Well done.
I work for a firearms school “Miami Gun Classes” and have put around 135K rounds truth the old M&P9 to the point we had to replaced the barrel as we no longer had a decent rifling in it. The M&P9 have been extremely reliable and on the other hand had many Glock pistol with problems....
Love my Glocks all stock internals and some of them even have the stock sights. I also love the support for aftermarket parts and the magazine support. Just the longest Pedigree of reliability over guns like the 509.

Honest, I think the average gun owner hasn't got to shoot the other options; HK VP9, CZ P10C, CZ P07, M&P 2.0, Canik TP9, Walther PPQ etc. They buy there first maybe try a buddies and its all they know so they stay there. I like testing everything out so I can form my own opinions from actual hands on experience but thats not everyone.
I was spoiled bc the first pistol I owned was a vp9 that I won in a raffle, then a sig, then an MP and when I finally got around to buying a glock I was so disappointed with it I sold it so I could buy a canik
Unfortunately most are just too heavily invested in them, and why we keep buying them.
Love em, hate em, they really just work.
My 21s are legendary as is my 30.
My favorite though is my 34 gen 4.
“They really just work”. So does HK, Walther, S&W and CZ, plus many others. Glock is not more reliable than many other brands.
I love my Glocks, but prefer my CZ and Sig’s largely in part to grip angle.
Love how they demonetized your channel but are perfectly ok with putting ads on your vids, very coherent!
I would like to get a new one but the price per feature ratio is stupid. A G19 should cost less or the same as the M&P 2.0 compact. The Blue Label price should be retail price
