I've got a friend who is LE, his department just switched to G45's with holosun 509Ts, he doesn't have a particular interest in firearms, or new tech but he said that he probably wouldn't shoot with irons again on any pistol. He said the qualification scores have drastically improved throughout the entire department.
I believe it. I’ve hunted with rifles and bows since I was a kid. I’ve carried a pistol since I was able and go to the range not more than average. I added a holoson scs to my Glock 47. I used three steel targets that decrease in size, smallest being about a half dollar size. I hit all targets with ease from 20 yards away my first time. It’s like having a laser tag gun or playing in a video game. That’s how I would describe it to a new person.
I shot with optics before irons, and learned to build guns before shooting. Shooting optics was basically 2nd nature. I still have a habit of looking at the back of my gun more than the target when shooting irons.
The fact you can completely modify a Glock speaks volumes of the platform in my opinion. The simplicity of the weapon system is what makes it perfection, not that you switch out parts to make it perfect. People discount the fact you can be your own gunsmith. I can take a functional Glock, take it apart to its 34 components and put it back together with nothing but a 3/32 punch pin in about 5-10 minutes for the entire process. There is no other pistol platform like that on the market.
Im sorry but i mean....most of the top-tier red dots ive looked at are way overpriced right now! No excuses for $600 (for some ive seen) for that! The tech is there and can be produced with immense precision fairly easy and could be sold for less for still plenty of profit. But c'est la vie, capitalism for another loss and more bumbling idiots supporting being buttfucked by it (not directed at you, just bitching)
I bought a Gen5 G45 a few months ago and the first upgrade I did (before even firing the gun once) was to install the extended slide release. Apart from that I left the gun stock and I'm loving it!
1911 iron sights devotee here. And yet I'm not gonna yell at you about it, nor tell you you're wrong. Always enjoy watching your videos, including this one. I look forward to them. Great presentations, & I always learn something. I am a big proponent of Mr. Clint Smith's philosophy on firearms, "Be a student of weaponscraft, rather than just a master of one."
I really like your videos. Clearly you know what you're talking about. I saw the title to this video, "3 Easy & Proven Glock Upgrades That Make a Big Difference" and I thought to myself, "Oh no, he mentioned in another video to leave the gun alone and NOT upgrade it" and I agree especially if your Glock is your EDC. But then I watched your video. Most people these days seem to trick out their Glock by replacing the barrel, recoil spring, trigger and or trigger assembly, slide (among other things) and to me this compromises the reliability and integrity of a weapon that already works. I am happy that you didn't do what many others do and that is to mess with the already reliable parts of the gun but instead, talk about other upgrades that have no bearing on the mechanical operation of the gun. Well done!
I've been a Glock LE armorer for over 20 years and now work in a gun shop... mods I see from customers that do no good: fancy barrels. Most of the newer shooters can't shoot as good at the factory barrels...so spend the money on ammo not gold bling and stuff. In our area, the person who approves civ CCWs won't allow after market triggers...so check before switching... the factory Glock triggers are not the best but can be improved. I've been shooting for about 50 years and optics are the best thing to happen in many years. but they have to be installed correctly.
My first Glock (and first pistol) was a G20 I bought around 2007. The grip was too slick, so I took the cheap way out - As suggested here, I took an old bicycle tube and hacked off a chunk, then slid it over the grip. It improved the grip IMMENSELY. My most recent glock is a 19X, and the sights are the one thing everyone agrees on - those steel sights are what everyone should move to with Glock.
Forward Controls plates FTW. The fit on my RMR plate is so good I had to do one click of windage and no elevation when I last did a battery change. Can't beat them. Solid video overall, it's refreshing to see practical and pragmatic changes suggested rather than throwing all of Glockstore at the problem
Purchased a glock45 from landon tactical. Undercut,apex trigger,ameriglo sights,speed feed, stippling extended mag release. Set me back almost $1400. Couldnt be happier.
Glock makes an extended mag release that’s $3 on their site right now. How much was your extended mag release? Also, $1400 for a G45 seems excessive even for custom mods.
G47 Gen 5. First think I did was put on a red dot. The seam isn't too bad on mine and the sights came night sights from the factory (Blue Label for military). I added a Streamlight TLR-1HL and changed to the Glock Performance Trigger (don't tell Glock I did it myself, it wasn't all that hard). That gun is now my primary carry and my competition gun
Lots of folks seem to like the ramjet. I don't have any personal experience with it, but plenty of experience with comps in general. On a carry hand gun in general comps are not needed at all.
I agree I have a Glock 20, 29, and a 40 and purchased the FN-10 tactical with the high tactical sights and immediately shot the FN with more precision than my Glocks and I know it is because of the sights because I totally hate how wide the FN -10 feels in my hand.
This video is very extra but I enjoyed it. I got a kick out of you breaking off the stock iron sights 🤣 Much love, I appreciate the info and perspective 🙌
I'm a shooter for almost 3 decades and Glocks are my preferred handguns. This video has no BS recommendations on maximizing your $$ on the upgrades that makes the most improvements - grip and sight picture.
I carry a G19 with handle it grips ameriglo sights a Holosun scs mos fits without plate. A TLR7x light. Internal I have an overwatch precision tac trigger. Last but not least a Radian ramjet afterburner. For the summer I carry a 43x set up the same way but with a EPS carry and no ram jet. I'm still waiting on radiant to release them lol.
Good video. Going to find a G21 police trade in very soon. First glock. Want to put a 6 inch barrel/slide on it and a red dot for 2 gun. I have red dots on all my PCC’s but only on one pistol, a Model 41 Smith. Very accurate .22.
(Also use progressive lenses.) I think the way we train now has caused us to forget a good reason to why we *shouldn't* black out the rear sights: triangulation as a means for aiming while the sites are in the periphery. I train like that. Look at the target, not the boomstick. You can be accurate with the gun lower than shoulder height with sufficient dry-fire practice. Those sub 20 laser cartridges work a treat.
A lot of people say when you get into a gunsight with a pistol you likely wont even use the sights, hence why the red dot is pointless. Which even if you didn't use the red dot in a shooting, the training value of the red dot itself is plenty to justify using a red dot.
FWIW, good old fingernail polish works great as a threadlocker for small screws such as scope mounts, etc. I have some bronze fingernail polish a girlfriend gave me. I use it all the time to prevent screws from backing out. A dab'll do ya.
@@nicka4832 The EPS carry and not the EPS is the way to go with a concealment gun. You want the smallest optic that is practical for use. As opposed to a competition gun that you'd want a really large window. The EPS Carry is pretty much even with a G19 slide. In my mind this is about perfect.
Do you recall what height iron sights were installed with the RMR HD? That’s the same cowitness I want to achieve with my Glock 19 MOS and RMR HD mounted via FCD plate.
Is it normal for your backplate to get a little knick on the left side the middle piece of the backplate? I guess it’s from me taking apart and cleaning it and the ejector hitting it when putting the slide back on considering I haven’t fired the gun yet and it’s brand new lol
I have been trying to remove the slide on Glock 17 even with the yellow tool. It feels like it's hitting something. I know why I never wanted one. Better to buy a better pistol.
I have a Gen 5 Glock 19 but non MOS. I was against red dot sights before but I've been converted recently. Is there any way for me to mount it if the gun is non-MOS?
Thanks first time seeing ur videos.Simpler the better I'm gonna do mine G-22 Could you do a video about changing the G 22 Gen 4 to a 9mm or is it worth doing ?
I train w sweaty hands because if I’m in a real life situation I’m not going to tell the assailant “Give me a sec so I can rub dirt and liquid chalk on my hands bro.”
Some of this makes sense or is at least debatable. Grip is NOT one of them. I see its the latest craze, you have to have spikes stitching your gun to your hand or you can't shoot. Tell that to Jerry M. Also, am I the only one that sees you sanding parts of the grip SMOOTHER then telling people to rough them up or stipple them? News flash: if a 95lb woman can lift a car off her child, what makes you think the adrenaline rush if you're in an actual shoot or die situation isn't going to put the force of a car jack into your hands for the duration? As to the rough spots, well, try doing some work. Calluses are good for the soul. And if you listen to someone like Rob Leatham sights don't mean jack. Especially at defensive distances sights are superfluous. Red dots are great for competition. I just find myself using the iron sights to bring the dot into view. Fads change. Used to be three dot white sights were the s**t. Now its blacked rear sights. It really doesn't matter. In a defensive situation that thousandth of a second won't matter. The only place it does is in competition. Frankly, I think too much daylight between a front sight blade and the rear aperture just makes it harder to center. As to sights breaking off, yeah, if you swing the gun like a hammer at a rock. Last I checked there were millions of these things in use by law enforcement daily. This means running, jumping, climbing..situations you are more likely to drop your gun and I've not seen ONE citation of failure of sights in action. Its always the goofball at the range who drops it on cement. I take bigger chances than that pulling out of the driveway every day. I also still have my original 1980's G17 with the crappy factory adjustable sights...the ones MOST likely to break. Tens of thousands of rounds later they're still with me. IMO, the three things you need most are the gun, lots of ammo and the dedication to practice.
Red dots “mandatory?” No hate, from me, regarding red dot optics, but, that which helps many shooters can be quite unhelpful to those of us with astigmatism, who see an asymmetric flare, rather than a neat, tidy dot. The red dot optics that do work for me are larger that is best for concealed carry, and work best when mounted farther from my eyes than the rear of a slide.
Well, I disagree that red dots are mandatory. That's crazy. Carried a Glock iron sights for 3 decades on the street. No issues. I tried Red dots, but for self defense, (15 yards and in), can outshoot someone with a red dot every time, two rounds to center mass and one to the head. People including cops don't practice enough to be fast with red dots. And speed wins in a gun fight.
All I can say is this: I got a Gen 3 G17 stock-everything and some rich white boy buddies that bust out their Staccatos and Wilson Combats and their Dillyhooeys and their Hoodliwinks and Yahtzee.....Anyway, good red dot optics and all, great triggers and guns all, the Stock-Boy over here took most of them with ease. O f course most of these guys were guys that thought they could buy their way into skill, like pay-to-win videogames, which is where most of their gun knowledge comes from.
Alright, I'll be the smartass here. The best way to get all of these modifications done to your Glock is to buy an M&P 2.0. 😈 Love your holsters and belts, by the way.
Less is absolutely more. “It is better to have training and no gun than to have a gun and no training” -James Yeager. Tip #5 get training from a qualified instructor.
I wasn’t able to shoot a Glock without putting a bandaid on my trigger finger where it was making contact with the trigger safety. Johnny Glock trigger shoe solved that issue for me. In fact I would recommend upgrading the entire trigger kit with JG. Don’t waste your money on the Glock Performance trigger.
problem with video like this is that people watch them and think they have to do this. or it gonna make them better.. both is false if you suck at shooting you will just spend more money to suck at shooting. get you the base gun go buy ammo shoot 1k rounds and then see.. take a class first then see.. changing anything on your gun doesn't help you shoot.. most of the time it hurts you because it makes the gun unreliable..

Also with red dots you can more easily train a proper trigger pull. You can really notice a pulled shot when looking at a dot compared to irons.
I wouldn't carry holocrap if my life depended on it sorry. I'll stick with my issued aimpoint.

Walking through the field in the beginning was so good.
When we were filming out in the fields we could not stop thinking of Gladiator so we had to do it.
I am entertained.
It reminded me of the wheat fields in Frank Miller's "300".

I subbed immediately when I saw the Glock in the wheat field. Also, red dots are like cheating, and I will never not have one on a defensive pistol.
I believe by the end of the decade you will be able to buy pistols that do not even have irons and have dots CNC’d into the slide itself.
Thanks for the sub!
I have to say that first part of the video looks like gladiator movie 💪💪💪
I thought the same thing
This video is very extra but I enjoyed it. I got a kick out of you breaking off the stock iron sights 🤣 Much love, I appreciate the info and perspective 🙌
Even with steel sights, I'm amazed that the front sight stays on glocks with that tiny, tiny screw.
As long as you install them properly they are usually fine but yes, something other than the tiny screw would probably work better.

No problem, thanks for watching!
Good points 👍
Just buy a Smith & Wesson M&P in whichever model with the new blade trigger and you are good to go. No upgrades needed.
The M&P is a good choice.
So I just learned that liquid chalk is a thing 😅😂
Red dots are cheating. But in a game where only the winner lives, cheating is just good strategy
The best upgrade for a Glock? The reciept that said "Sold". Best day of my shooting life was when I got rid of that POS G19.
Alright, I'll be the smartass here. The best way to get all of these modifications done to your Glock is to buy an M&P 2.0. 😈 Love your holsters and belts, by the way.
I prefer 80 percent frames and build it how you want it from the ground up
Glocks are cool. CZ holsters would be even cooler 😉
Maybe someday.
Hate to be that guy, but your “Gladiator” opener, while cinematic, means you’re dead, so you lost that gunfight. 😂

Fudd lore
Sure, give someone new to guns a gun and send them on their way. They’ll be just fine.
I wasn’t able to shoot a Glock without putting a bandaid on my trigger finger where it was making contact with the trigger safety. Johnny Glock trigger shoe solved that issue for me. In fact I would recommend upgrading the entire trigger kit with JG. Don’t waste your money on the Glock Performance trigger.
Have you encountered any reliablity issues? Thinking of doing the shoe on my 4 3x but am open to it all.
Not yet…
Glock is the Harley Davidson of the gun world. You buy it, tear it down, and make it better.
problem with video like this is that people watch them and think they have to do this. or it gonna make them better.. both is false
if you suck at shooting you will just spend more money to suck at shooting. get you the base gun go buy ammo shoot 1k rounds and then see.. take a class first then see.. changing anything on your gun doesn't help you shoot.. most of the time it hurts you because it makes the gun unreliable..
🤙💥☆"GLOCK"☆💥🤙
This guy someone needs to tell him that know one likes his plastic hard wedge design.
People love glock, but after buying one they need to do upgrades. Today Glock its old gun, it just stay on reliability
How to upgrade your Glock: turn it in to a S&W M&P.
The M&P is a pretty solid out of the box choice.
"500-800,000 rounds in a training session" how much are you rounding up???
I think he meant 500rds, 800rds, or 1000rds per shooting session.
He had to have meant 5k to 8k over a three day weekend.
😂
500, 800 or 1000 rounds in a day.😂
CH plates are absolutely awful anymore. I think they make them in china now IMO. Calculated kinetics is bery good
Yeah. I got the old guy eyes syndrome too.
