    The G19 is the Goldilocks size. Small enough to conceal with enough capacity. For the amount of difficulty to conceal you give up going to the 26 to the 19, you gain a lot of capacity and shootability. If concealabilty is a non issue, the 17 makes sense for a home defense gun or OWB carry. The 19 does it all pretty well.

      If you can make it fit your hand it works well. If not its not balanced and not enjoyable to operate it. The concept was legit when Gaston invented it but imho they failed to improve the ergos over the years. Now, you have other, comparably light and reliable polymer striker fire guns that feel WAY better in yuor hand, and have a trigger that is about 10x better than the ugly thing in your stock glock.

    I went with the Glock 26 for concealed carry reasons, I rented both the Glock 19 and 26. I liked both, but the rental had a magazine extension which gave the simulation of a full grip and I fell in love right away. Not to mention I plan on getting a Glock 19 soon as a range gun .

    I have never regretted buying a Glock. I have never known anyone who regretted buying a Glock. They are the standard by which everything else is measured. Damn I didn't want to be a Glock guy, but they just fucking work. 1911s will always have a special place in my heart but Glock is just better. Aggressive grip angle, polymer frame, capacity.. The 1911 has a better trigger but that's about it.

      I am the exact way when you mentioned you didn't want to be a glock guy but they just work. I actually hated on glocks thinking they were cheap polymer garbage and was set in the old school double/single action guns like H&k's and the beretta M9 until my dad bought a G27 and I shot it. We ran that thing so hard we were surprised how it never had a hiccup. Then I went shooting with a buddy that had a G19 and I feel in love with glocks. My first gun was a G19 and I love that thing to death.

      John Doe The world has caught up to Glock. Glock refuses to listen to the complaints of most shooters. My big complaint is the ergonomics. They Suck. Your gun should fit you. Not the other way around. I have big hands and a Glock still feels bulky. I'm constantly fighting the ergos instead of focusing on shot placement.

    • @macw9482
      @macw9482 7 років тому +1

      John Doe Also the number 1 reason why Glocks are widely use by military, police, and Gang Bangers is because they are cheap. If you can afford a Bently,(XDM,CZ,SIG), then get it. Better ergos and higher quality guns. Price is the only positive for Glock now. There is far superior quality out there.

    Pretty Good review on those models. You was talking about the triggers on the Gen 3 Glock being smooth. I use 2 different Gen 3 Model 22's one is for my duty pistol and another is here at home next to my bed. My duty pistol was bought back in 1996 or 1997 (?) and it has that same smooth trigger as my newer one does and yours did the smooth type. I live in Texas and I open carry with this newer weapon also. I wouldn't trade the model 22 for anything. I simply love them. The Model 22 makes a Great Head Knocker too. :)

    I've had a Canik TP9-SA for a year or two now, and I have to say shooting that and becoming accustomed to the grip angle and more curved backstrap made my friend's Glock feel weird, but I also should say that the Glock's grip angle seemed to make recoil management easier.

    The Trigger Serration are usually done on Compact and Sub-Compact Glocks like the G19, G23, G26, G27, etc. You can change the smooth trigger that comes on the Full size and the Tacticals like the 17,20,21,22,24,31, etc to a serrated trigger. You can get a Glock OEM Trigger with Trigger bar for less than 15 dollars from Brownells. I have been using a full size Glock 22 since 2004 and in the past couple of years I have added Gen3 G22 RTF2, Gen4 G17, G19, G23, G35. I starting carrying the G35 as a Conceal Carry sidearm for the past 12 months and I love it. Glock Plastic Sights SUCK and they are just an item to keep the sight dovetail from getting damaged. I am a Big Fan of Tritium Night Sights and I have used the Meprolight for over 15 years and when I got the Gen4 G35 I put the Meprolight Adjustable Night Sights and I love them. I starting using the Trijicon HD sights this past summer and I love them. I am 6'3" and 240LBs and I have been carrying full size pistols since 1993. I use OWB, IWB and shoulder holster for my Conceal Carry.
    You should have mentioned that you can use G17 mags in the G19 and with the adapter on the mag is gives you the same grip as a G17. My wife uses the Gen4 G19 as her Conceal Carry pistol and I use my Gen4 G23 as either primary CCW or as a Secondary if I am going to be going to an area where I may need a very quick reload. I have used my G35 in the shoulder holster while either my G22 or G23 in a SOB holster with 2 15rd mags in the shoulder holster plus 2 additional 15 or 22 round magazines on the belt mag holder. I do not carry that rig very often as it is strictly a High Threat Environment Rig.
    I have learn to really like Glocks and its funny because for the longest time I thought Glocks Sucked but it was a good friend that had several Glocks that told me here take this G3 G17 take it to the range and put 150 rounds of his ammo and come back and tell me what you think. His glock did have the 25 cent trigger job and he changed a couple of the springs to make improve trigger pull and after I shot the 150 rounds I took it back to him and said I like the GLock and bought a Gen3 G22 the next day. I have become a Glock Armorer and I love working and shooting Glocks. I also own and carry other pistols like one of my 3 1911s 2 Springfields and 1 Sig TacOps, Sig 226 and 229, Walther PPX, HK USP Compact 45 and Springfield XDm 9 5.25 its nice to have 19rds in the mag and I always carry 2 additional mags with me.
    The finish that Glock uses since the intro of the Gen3 models is Tenifer and I have noticed that Gen3 Specially the RTF2 models have a deeper and darker finish where the Gen4 are lighter shade and can show some scratches better than Gen3s.
    Personal note: I really like the 40SW models because they give me the ability to not only run the 40SW but also the 357SIG and you can also get a 9mm barrel for the 40/357 where you cannot do the same with a 9mm pistol.
    I just completed the assembly of a Lone Wolf G24 slide Stainless Steel with front and rear serrations and a 6.02 357SIG barrel with Meprolight Adjustable Night Sights. I purchased the Slide from Lone Wolf during the Black Friday Sale and was given the Barrel for free. I have been researching the 80% polymer frames since I got the G24 slide but since it required the use of a drill press and the frame has to be milled so I am getting a Lone Wolf Frame and will be using SVII TYR Trigger which I believe is the Best Trigger out there for the Glock.

    I agree with you on the 19 for a first glock for a person that is buying their first gun, the MOS option would help first time shooters to learn to shoot with both eyes open if they're just starting out shooting a pistol. Thanks for the video, great info there. The one thing you didn't mention was the slip on mag adapters (Like X-Grip) I use that option with the 19 mag with my G-26 and it gives excellent grip advantage but should be used as the secondary mag in a carry situation. (Carry the 10 round for carry and use the 19/x-Grip with it as a backup mag if the need arose) Thanks for the well done video!

    Never really cared for the feel or look of a Glock until the Gen 4 came along. Picked up a G19 and fell in love. A few months later I added the Gen 4 G26. Then traded in the M&P Shield for a G42. Within 6 months I grabbed a 30s. Recently sold off the G26. Did not feel a need for it while having the G19. Currently still own the G30s, G19 Gen4, G42. Love them all. No real interest in upgrading to more, but never say never! Great video and report. Like to say the young lady seems to have great control with all the Glocks she shot in the video. She does show that she practices. Great job by all.

    I had a Glock 19 as my second gun (I had an SW SD9VE for a little bit) then I sold that one and got a Glock 17 with tridium 3 dot sights. I never liked the normal half square for the Glock rear sights. Plus the longer barrel and the extra weight make me better at bowling pin competitions.

    After carrying a G26 for a couple of years as a back up. I loved it. But I sold it for a lighter Glock. Bought both 42/43. Love the 9mm cost. Love the lightness of the 42. Both with pierce grip +1. Trying them to see which fits best. G26 was giving me hip pain offduty

    @ka-bar5060 7 років тому

    I got my wife a Glock 43 with the Trijicon Hi-Def Nite sights and did a couple of inexpensive mods to it and she LOVES it. She has small hands and found the 26 to be too bulky for her tastes. The 43 fights her hand great and shoots well. One thing I did was replace the trigger spring to a 3.5 lbs. version since the stock trigger pull is about 7 lbs. that simple mod made a huge difference. Yes, the 43 does have its limits, but for a slim EDC, it should not be dismissed.

    My wife has a CCP and she started out with a Glock 42 (.380)/ We are now looking for which 9mm Glock would be the best for her. She has proven she is an excellent shot up to 15 yards with the .380 and would like her to have a larger Glock to increase distance, accuracy and stopping power. We are also waiting for the CMP to offer the COLT 1911-A1 (Officer model, hopefully)

    I used to hear a lot of negativity about the grip angle of a Glock. Then I went to my local gun shop, and picked up a G17, closed my eyes, and extended my arms as if to fire it. When I opened my eyes, the sights were lined up perfectly. I bought it, and found I almost have to put effort into missing with it. Now I own 3 Glocks. :)

    When you change your battery on your optic, do you have to rezero? I know that a slide that's been milled to a specific rmr doesn't need to be rezeroed even though you should check it any ways. Is your reasoning for the mos version due to trying different optics? What are you using now and how is it holding up on the mos?

Anyway after that I was partially sold on Glocks but it wasn't until I shot a G19 that I truly fell in love with Glocks. I have a Gen 3 G19 that I cc when on the road and although it may not be the best cc gun its not bad. I now only shoot my S&W 38/357 at the range and never cc it. I will get the Gen 5 G19 the day it is available.

I have three early gen 4's with the old school frying pan finish, indestructible. The finish has more to do with the production date than the generation, go out and get a new gen 3 and it will have the shitty finish. Sorry gen 3 folks, that is the fact. Supposedly they have addressed the finish issue on the new 17M and 19M which hopefully will carry over to the Gen 5. We shall see.

  • @jimf1964
    @jimf1964 6 років тому

    The hump on the lower grip pushes the lower grip forward, and raises the barrel. That's why it seems to aim higher. They do that because many believe it forces the hand into a more stable, albeit more uncomfortable angle. Look at target pistols. The angle is crazy, but it puts the wrist in a much more stable position.
    Thanks for the video, I've been thinking of getting a glock 19, just to have something a little smaller than my Sig 226. They've gotten way cheaper, and the wife likes the striker fired trigger.

      Daniel Gresham congratulations, you made a good choice. The G19 is the best selling Glock. The Gen 3 is a great gun. 9mm is an extremely effective cartridge with today's modern bullet designs. Do not let anyone tell you you are under gunned or made a poor choice. Get a good quality kydex holster. Concealment Express or Galco make good quality products. Hope you enjoy your new pistol.

    I'm looking to get my first glock this weekend. I'm looking at the 19, and 26. Can I get a couple opinions on which one is better for my first glock. Thanks

    What about the most powerful Glock... Glock 20 (10mm) can handle with no problems hot loads

    If you have a lot of experience with something, and give your honest opinion, why would anyone get mad and unsubscribe. Smart people usually learn from other people's mistakes and experiences.
