I prefer the Gen 3 lower but I have a 19X with a Dagger RMR Cut SW4 Upper on my G19X lower. Slapped a 407c x2 on her & a 15lb recoil spring because the stock 18lb would cycle slow. She runs great. Now I have a complete stock upper & a Gen 3 Optics Upper. What's odd is, I have a OW Precision TAC Trigger w/ bar installed, a 3lb connector & a master trigger spring kit.

@boiloil3557 - thank you for the kind words. We try to give our viewers an informed perspective and let them decide for themselves. It’s viewers like yourself that keep us motivated to continue doing these types of videos. Stay safe out there!
Just bought one brand new from a guy at work. Never been fired. Complete with case and two 15 round mags. 300.00. Never owned a Glock before this day. Always been S&W and Ruger. Look forward to getting to the range here in Idaho. Thank you for the informative vid.
I just bought one from a friend who only load ammo into but never fired it. Just did dry fire with training rounds. Only paid $300 still in the box came with 2 15rd mags and he threw in a 17rd magzine too!
Gen 4 G22 was my first glock. Then i picked up the Gen 5 G19. Recently, i picked up the Gen3 G23. I dont know what it is, but i fell in love with the G23 at first sight. It's just something about it. My favorite carry by far
I live in Texas and we get 14 rounds out of the case, have the Gen 3, got the coyote brown or whatever you want to call it. I've carried it every day since I've bought it and I love it..it's compact enough to get a good grip and carry and conceal. Of course that's my opinion. I'm not gonna run out and buy every new gen they come out with like most people do with iPhone. If you're happy with it don't change it
Have Gen 5, 4, 3 & Polymer 80 but Generation 3 Glocks are my favorite of them all cause they're simple & virtually bomb proof. Also I actually prefer the Factory Glock sights to 3 Dot & love finger grooves.
I just wanted to take the time out to thank you for this very educational video! I just bought a Glock 23 gen 3 and has learned so much more about my firearm. I've watched more than a dozen introduction/instructional videos on here about the Glock but did not learn much from it compared to this video.
@OnTheRun - thanks for watching our video and for taking the time to leave us a comment. We appreciate the kind words and we hope others will benefit from our videos in the way that you have as well! 😎👍
All you need with this IMO is to switch out the sights and it’s a perfect carry pistol. I have owned all Gen’s and the Gen 3 is superior to all other Gens IMO
@@aliman3229 outside of different back straps and a different spring and slide serrations Gen 3 is the pinnacle of Glocks innovations the “upgrade’s” on the newer ones aren’t all that. Just my opinion
Lol i own gen 3, 4, and 5. The gen 3 is not superior. The gen 5 has backstraps to fit more hand sizes, better barrell even though you cant notice its there, better mag release, ambi slide release, and can switch mag release, beveled mag well for quicker mag changes, mos version, front serrations, the slide is rounded on the front to make it easier in and out holster. The gen 5 is the same gun with more features. So tell me how the gen 3 is better?
I own two Glocks, both Gen "3" one is a compact, one is a full size duty gun. have owned them both for many years, no problems ten round mags work just fine especially if u buy 4 or 5 of them and have them secured in pistol pouches on your belt or body armor when your armed and doing your work. the thing to note is that Gaston Glock designed these pistols for the Austrian military but in the U.S. civilian and Civilian police agencies embraced them quickly and then the Federal Law enforcement agencies and THEN!!! lastly the U.S. Military aquired them for specific units and S.O.F. style troops.now the U.S. MIlitary has the Modular pistol in the M18 for the Marine Corps and M19 I believe for the U.S. Army which is a SIG SAUER designed pistol which was specifically requested too meet the U.S. Armys specifications one of them being MODULARITY as well as HAVING A SAFETY ( glocks dont have physical thumb safetys)
A favorite of mine, I have a G19-3, G19c-3, G19-4 MOS, and just bought a G19-5. I use it as my CCW and competition gun. I use a G32-4 as my open carry when out in the foothills.
Hello Ed, Great video here I just found you again I believe. Just today I had a Glock 19 Gen 3 in my hand and was impressed for sure. I began to get caught up to much with comparing 3 , 4 , and 5 I absolutely agree this is a great starter pistol for me. Be well
Living in Florida, I bout a new Glock 19 Gen 3 several years ago and over time I bought multiple magazines to go with it. All of them are factory Glock. I even sourced a few 33 rounders, all new online at a good price. Oh and I put in an aftermarket stainless Lone Wolf barrel and Trijicon night sights.
Good stuff, I’ve been carrying a Gen3 19 since 2006 with the modification being a set of trijicon HD orange sights. With the exception of some poorly made hand loads it has never failed to go bang. Thanks for a great video, I left California and now have a gen5 19, 17 and 45. Save yourself and leave California. Oh and I paddled my kayak in both fresh and salt water with that Glock in my PFD and just rinsed it in the sink when I got home, re-lubed it and put it back in the appendix carry. Great guns and a very well made video wish I would have had this video in the eighties, I may have switched to Glock sooner.
I live in Florida, One of the many states that is part of a freedom loving American society. I bought a Model 19 , Gen 3 about 3 years ago. I stumbled onto a web site that sells 33 round magazines so I picked up a few. Not that I needed them but they were priced right and they are factory Glock. Thankfully I do not live nor will I ever live in California !!!
I was gifted a Gen 3 by a friend's dad who passed away. Like new condition Nice to see such high praise for it. Trigger seems kinda spongy but free is free lol.
Pulling shots left? Both of my G19 3rd gen I own did this and are the only guns of many brands/models I own that I had an issue with. My son (a very good shot) also owns a G19 3rd gen and same results for him. I tried every kind of grip: tight, light, 60/40 and normal. I tried different finger placement on the trigger: tip of pad, center of pad and 3/4 of the pad....same results. Frustrating, as I was qualified expert shooter in the military and law enforcement with various types of pistol/rifle. Not to be beaten, I discovered through dry firing what's going on. You'll notice the front sight will twitch as soon as the trigger breaks. My G30, G36 and my G26 do NOT do this...but BOTH of my G19 3rd gen do. I decided to replace the trigger with the Apex trigger, connector and safety plunger kit ($100.00) . Problem solved, no longer do I pull shots left, so I did the same to my other G19 3rd gen. and again problem solved. My suspicion is the connector/sear engagement surface angle, you could get an aftermarket Ghost or Apex connector for about $20.00. Now the G19 3rd gen is my favorite carry. I also put steel Ameriglo night sights on both of them. Hope this helps...
This helps immensely! I recently picked up a G19 G3 and am pulling shots left consistently, and don’t have this problem with any of my other pistols. Thank you for taking th the time to comment this, I’m going to try your solution. Let me know if anything has changed since you posted this 👍
19 triger is like a spring piston air gun, a timed pull gets you extremly good precision. A guy at the range had a 19 dont remember the gen but unadjusted was definitly shooting to the right for both of us.
@@Mikejr91 no not really. Cause the hole that's in the frame is smaller as well. I have seen some aftermarket stuff for them where a larger plate is screwed onto the mag release to make the surface area larger but that's all. And the reviews for that are iffy.
You do not oil the guide rails. You put 1 tiny drop of oil (and I mean tiny) on the guide grooves on the inside of the slide. Put the slide back together and then back on the frame. Then, you rack the slide just 2 or 3 times to spread the oil. That's it. No more, no less.
I've shot every gen except the FIRST GENERATION & I'm like HICKOK 45 I prefer the GEN 4 ANYDAY!!! I Have 4 gen 4's 19/26/17/22 & can keep within a 5" group at 40 yards anytime I shoot them
I have to say that this is one of the best Glock 19 G3 review I've seen, my next pistol will be a G3 Glock 19 .not getting rid of my Smith but the 19 G3 is a special pistol in that if you really love a great pistol you'll really love the Glock unless you have been brainwashed by another brand that's ok I like other brands I just can't pull the trigger on the Wilson Combat. 1911 .45 out of my reach for now but man what a quality firearm by Wilson Combat.
@scooterboy423 - if you’re looking for a larger size mag release, they’re available at places like Glock store and other online firearms accessory sites. Very inexpensive and easy to install. I purchased one for my G22 and it protruded out a bit too far for my liking and I ended up taking it out. There are plenty of custom options out there to choose from. But ultimately, it’s up to you to research and decide what you’re looking for. Good luck and stay safe!
Lubing it to death out of the box was unneeded. There is copper lubricant on the slide rails for break-in purposes. Probably no harm done, but the book says what the book says for a reason. I don't generally clean new Glocks until at least 500 rounds, largely to let the copper assembly lube do its job.
I have a Gen 3 RTF Larry Vickers that is grey in color. I had to put rubber grips on it because the texture on the grip will chew your skin up if you carry it IWB.
I used to want the gen 5 so badly. But after having handled both I notice the finger grooves allow me to hole down the muzzle much better from flipping and the mag release is not so easy to accidently hit. I've watched at least 3 police shootings with gen 5 glocks where officers accidentally hit the mag release on the draw or mid gun fight. I never saw that with officers who used the gen 3. So for me, I'll stick to gen 3
I just got my Glock 19 Gen 3 what would you recommend as the best sight for it I liked and Subscribed very nice and informative video very helpful thx much
Just shoot it. Decide on sights after you’ve put 1000 rounds thru her. I literally just replaced my front sight after 14 years because it was dinged. Just put a hiviz fiber optic on running the stock rear.
The dot is the poi? First time ive heard that. I put neon yellow nail polish on the front sight to make it a solid color and use the old school middle-center of the tip as poi. Been working sofar...
In 2022 I, still have a glock 19 9mm gen3 only upgraded is the guide rod. I do have a gen 5 19 9mm. I still carry the Gen 3 It just feels right with one update
The Glock 19 gen 3 is my everyday carry. I love it to
I actually prefer gen 3 over gen 5.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the front serrations, I don't press check.
I agree
I prefer the Gen 3 lower but I have a 19X with a Dagger RMR Cut SW4 Upper on my G19X lower. Slapped a 407c x2 on her & a 15lb recoil spring because the stock 18lb would cycle slow.
She runs great. Now I have a complete stock upper & a Gen 3 Optics Upper. What's odd is, I have a OW Precision TAC Trigger w/ bar installed, a 3lb connector & a master trigger spring kit. With the stock upper on, I get a 6lb pull. With the Sagger Upper on, I get a 2.7 to 3lb very short to the wall & very short forced reset. I bought the complete upper for $200 shipped. Beats sending my stock upper off for milling, etc.
Why . I’m looking to get a 19 but I hear all this get a gen three stuff vs a gen 5 so I’m not sure
I love my gen3
The fact the glock 19 gen 3 is still a good option in 2022 says it all.
Edit: now 2024
Hahaha that’s all the hun shop has my dude. California has fucked it’s residents
Yes its great....

You do not oil the guide rails. You put 1 tiny drop of oil (and I mean tiny) on the guide grooves on the inside of the slide. Put the slide back together and then back on the frame.

Good video. In addition to the initial lubrication you need to put put a drop on the connector per the manual.
I agree the best Glock. I love the 26 as well. Forget the Gen5.
The only issue I have with Gen 3s is the size of the mag release, too small for me
@scooterboy423 - if you’re looking for a larger size mag release, they’re available at places like Glock store and other online firearms accessory sites. Very inexpensive and easy to install. I purchased one for my G22 and it protruded out a bit too far for my liking and I ended up taking it out. There are plenty of custom options out there to choose from. But ultimately, it’s up to you to research and decide what you’re looking for. Good luck and stay safe!
I agree on my gen 4 I don’t have to reach to hit the release, on my gen3 I do !
Thanks
Ed,
I would say a matter of patience with the trigger. A tune out of this trumbone (Hilarious) I love it
Take care
Excellent demonstration!
Lubing it to death out of the box was unneeded. There is copper lubricant on the slide rails for break-in purposes. Probably no harm done, but the book says what the book says for a reason. I don't generally clean new Glocks until at least 500 rounds, largely to let the copper assembly lube do its job.

😅😅😂😂😂 excuses
Love my 17 and 21
I used to want the gen 5 so badly. But after having handled both I notice the finger grooves allow me to hole down the muzzle much better from flipping and the mag release is not so easy to accidently hit. I've watched at least 3 police shootings with gen 5 glocks where officers accidentally hit the mag release on the draw or mid gun fight. I never saw that with officers who used the gen 3. So for me, I'll stick to gen 3

One of the other down sides of this Glock pistol is the shell casings coming towards you as you fire the gun.
Bla bla bla. Be a man
God Bless You Brother ///& thanks for the great
review
This was a great video for beginners
Thanks brother
I own a Gen 3 G19 and I will stick with it. Where at in Cali are you located?
@robosdrumworld - we’re located in Southern California, down near San Diego area
Oh okay I’m up North in Sacramento.
Love my G19 Gen 4 will be getting a G19 MOS Gen 5 😁👍🏾👍🏾
Hey how can I find out info on a Glock 19 that I have owned for over 24 years?
In 2022 I, still have a glock 19 9mm gen3 only upgraded is the guide rod.
I do have a gen 5 19 9mm.
I still carry the Gen 3
It just feels right with one update
I carry a glock 19 gen 3 as my every day carry.
The sighting you mention is wrong to a new shooter. The dot is partially cut off if aiming correctly, with the top of the sights aligned.
I ignor the white other than as a quick reference.
Gen 3 for me!
I’m using the slide release
what is a good very compact laser for the gen3 19? Don't want one with a built in battery.
Good day. I see you have been using both glock 19 gen 3 and the gen 5. How is the recoil differences between these two versions?
About the take down pin - do you pull down on just one side of it, or both?
You need to pull down on both sides evenly
Thanks, that hard for my 72 year old fingers, so today I bought on of those "yellow" Glock Slide Removal Tools I saw on YT.
Using the slide stop as a release doesnt do anything bad to the internals of the gun…
I got a 23 gen4 see so many gen 3 19s might as well huh
Oil don’t freeze 👌🏽
What head gear are you useing and what’s best green or red sights thx much
I can’t imagine even trying to enjoy guns while living in Commiefornia 🤢🤮 those 10 round mags are an abomination to the 2nd amendment
You can get mags anywhere.
@@andrewgarcha3618 not the point
@@AAA-Wolf people live in places for reasons other than guns, some folks don’t wanna live in bumfuck middle of nowhere Idaho.
@@andrewgarcha3618 - it’s not about the guns, it’s about quality of life. Something Cali fails to focus on.
@@AAA-Wolf if you want to live near wine country California, or Monterey, or the beaches. Can you do that while living in Idaho?
Can you switch mag release to the other side for lefties in the G19 Gen 3?
No sadly
I believe the gen 4 was the first generation Glock that could do that
I have Gen 3 it's a great 👍 pistol 🔫
How the Gaston Glock is R.I.P. all the old one's are worth a lot of money the glock 19 gen3 is the one all the new glocks don't look that great 😮
nice gun.. you want that slide release black.. as in never touched.
Have you heard of the Vice grip? Used correctly keeps you from going left or right.
Gen 3’s are king! 👌🏻
