Just want to add a few viewpoints to the conversation to comments saying “you should spend all your money on ammo”: Agreed - practice is king. But I would also ask the question - why not both? Why not increasing performance with aftermarket parts AND train? (And this looks different for everybody) Example: You can be at your personal best at 25yo on your 1990 racing bicycle, but when weekend joe 55y comes by with his 2024 $7K 4.5kg Carbon Fiber Bicycle, he’ll beat you just with his medium effort. Tech CAN make a difference when it comes to performance. That said, I’d rather train AND take the unfair advantage. What I’d add to that: it should take you years to build out a glock like the one shown in the video. Don’t buy all parts at once. The company pistol in the video took 7 years to look like that. Tweak here, tweak there. Try out things. Ask questions, search forums - figure out if anybody knows more than you - be curious. Accept that some parts don’t work for you. It’s not a black & white question, whether you should increase performance with aftermarket parts OR spend the money on ammo.
@BlackTridentOfficial honestly, 9mm doesn't need all this aftermarket crap. It's a f*&^%×n 9mm? It's hilarious to see people applying 10mm+ technology on a gun that will shoot like a .22 if you just put in the right recoil for the power level? Lmao. .357 sig, 10mm, .40 or 45 super can use the mods you're doing to 9mm. If you have sights you can acquire quickly and are familiar with how your ammo performs? What else can you buy to give you an "unfair" advantage? Lol
Good stuff bud, I know you touched on it in the video about what you can legally have over there, but was curious is it do to round count or overall size? I know you said youd prefer a g17, didnt know if you ever looked into a g45 if you still wanted that full size grip, if that is an option for you.
100% agree. I love mine. Even for 4-5 o’clock carry its worth it, especially if you’re reholstering without looking and are worried about a piece of clothing getting caught.
Best Glock upgrades: 1. Ammo & Training / Shooting. 2. Optic & Or Better Irons. 3. Barrel or OEM Barrel 4. Weapon Light 5. Maybe Comp or Ports, Stock = Reliable. 6. A Good or Decent holster & Maybe a gun belt / Mag holster (If you wanna get more fancy).
Jimmy was one of the best teachers and mentors that ive ever had. It was an honor to serve with and under him. He's a legend in the community Fun fact about Jimmy. Intel was received that the taliban wouldn't attack patrols in Afghanistan if they found out Jimmy was leading the patrol.
biggest take away that i hope others got from his last few appearances is that jimmy likes what he likes but doesnt think other things are bad because he doesnt use them personally, and that function is all within the context of the current scenario and user
It’s interesting what he said about the safety problem with dirt in the mag well because the 20 dollar magpul glock mag well has that divot cut into it so you can get your thumb up underneath the lip of the mag. I’ve had to use that a few times at competitions.
It’s 100% not the gun, it’s the shooter. I’ve seen a prior IDPA shooter with a Staccato get outgunned by a police officer that ran the course with 0 misses and 20 seconds quicker with his standard Glock 17. 😂
In France it's a bit pricy. A gen 3 is about 615euros i think, the gen 5 is about 750euros. The glock of the french army specs (basicaly a gen 5 half tan half black) is about 800euros. As a lawman i can have price for standard glock, but saddly not for the army one
C&H precision makes a new monster optic for pistols that’s impressive… Great content as always and I run a gen 3 for most events set up almost identical. It was cool to see this badass running it. Thank you gents!
I'm glad he's enjoying his Glock and mods. Heavily modded out pistols are not my cup of tea as I am more of a whiskey man. I'm just here because I like both James and this guy and to help the algos.
There's an even bigger pistol dot, and I use it on my concealed carry guns. The Cyelee Bull Pro (also available in X flavor, which allows you to change the reticle). And yes, I said concealed carry. I have one on both my full size carry guns, which I carry AIWB. A heavily modified P320 and a Tisas Night Stalker. Both are compensated as well, and I have several friends which carry compensated pistols. My smaller carry is a P365 with a compensator. As I often tell people, if it gives me any kind of edge or advantage, I am going to utilize it.
@@carmichaelreeif you want to argue that adding an optic doesn't make a tangible difference in reliability, sure. If you are genuinely claiming that milling/affixing an optic of varying weight/height to a gun IMPROVES the reliability over the stock gun, that's delusional and absurd
My buddy has had that exact 19 build for 2 years he just swapped to a holosun vulcan and zev v2 comp and agency barrel almost the exact same and it rocks

I run a PRP pro or Canik METE tp9 with that Salient threaded barrel and EPS with TLR1. I conceal or use with my range belt. 500-600 doll hair handguns that need no extra work done to them. Canik triggers are phenomenal
With any firearm, you should think about what function(s) will it fit, and can it do multiple ones without modifications. For example, regardless of the manufacturer can You use it for USPSA, IDPA, conceal carry as well as home defense? There are many that will all those needs without spending a butt load of money. I use to waste time trying to find out how yo mount a red dot on a non optic ready slide. Then a light came on. All I need is a WML/Laser combo. Just as good and I keep my rear sight. Bottom line is that we all have our opinions on Glocks and that is great. The most important one is how you feel about your firearm.
I would love a half size or a third size supressor rather than a compensator. Mitigating sound and easier for the shooter. There is also a lot of complaints from the nearest residents from shooting ranges everywhere. I personnally are happy everytime I hear gun training, but people are different and some are scared when they hear it.
Put a red spring on the Glock, a black NY Trigger Spring, ditch the stupid laser on the gun and get a Streamlight TLR-7X or a Surefire X300 Turbo. If you need a duty gun - get rid off open red dot sights. An Aimpoint Acro will do the job. Good luck with Trijicon and Eotech support if something happens to it (and it will).
Part of the “perfection” aspect is it’s customization possibilities. You can make it yours. It can be perfect for “you”Especially if you know exactly what you need to be fast & accurate with your pistol. People always railed on the plastic sights. They know that everyone knows what sights they prefer, so why not put some cost efficient sights that actually work till you can put on your own. Even after trying some custom 2011s and upper end Glock clones, I always find myself going back to Glock
I get the idea that a bigger gun feels more secure but after 9 years patrol with the Glock 17, im picking Glock 19 ten times outta ten. The 19 is easier for me to control under recoil. I think it’s due to slide mass. I had a 34 for a couple years and I got rid out of it because it offered no advantage over the 17. The reduced grip length makes sitting in a car easier too.
@@scottkelly7051okay, and there are documented instances of 22lrs dropping people. You have the Trooper Mark Coates shooting where he put four 38spl +Ps center-mass into a perp at 15 or so feet, he took a 22lr through the armpit. Trooper collapsed and died on the side of the road, driver with four speedholes in his chest got back into his car and drove off. I'm sure some stakeout squad cop has dropped a bad guy at 50+ yards with a snubby, does that mean you should expect the same and/or train for that scenario? What a bizarre train of thought.
@JJ_SDWR You missed the point, JJ. The point is that you have to practice with what you have. For many people, the purchase of the pistol eats up all of their disposable income. There's simply not enough in the budget for aftermarket sights. Essentially, what you're saying is that you shouldn't practice with and master the equipment you already have. What a bizarre train of thought.
@@scottkelly7051 no, you should absolutely train with what you have, nobody has ever disputed that. The point of contention is the idea that if a 20 year old was able to hit a target with a stock gun then that's proof there is no need for anything beyond that. By that logic, if someone has stopped an assailant with a NAA 22lr single-shot boot-gun, then that's all you need to be prepared. To each their own, I don't use as my base case a scenario where a guy was not in a two-way shootout or under direct attack, he was able to take an aimed shot(s) at a mass-shooter who wasn't actively shooting at him. That is not even remotely similar to what 99.99% of defensive gun uses by citizens look like, training to that standard is absurd.
I got on the micro bandwagon for a year with the hellcat. The one thing that was great about it was its size as far as comfortable and extremely concealable. Everything else sucked. Couldn’t get my paws on it for a good draw. And shooting accurately was way too much work. Finally had a reality check and went back to Glock 19. Should have never left the compact size.
@@coreybrady3192 I carry the 17 or 26 and rarely my P229 now. Same thing. The old school P229 feels like a boat anchor now. Lol. Admittedly, I probably shoot the best with the P365, but I actually think the thickness of the Glock and Walthers are perfect.

I bought a Gen 5 Glock 34 to replace my Sig 226 as a carry weapon. I figured it would be cheaper if I had to give it up too law enforcement after using it. After all the accessories that gun is now worth twice what the Sig is
If I had a Glock, I'd definitely put a Houge Grip and a light on it. I thought about a flared mag well, but I don't think that would work with the Houge Grip.
You may have to cut the bottom part of the grip, but it can work, or leave in place and let it slip it over some over the mag well. Customized to meet your needs.
I have a question.. I currently own a 43x mos (really dont like shooting it) but I want something bigger to train with and I cant decide if I should go with the glock 19 or skip over it and go G45 or G47/17. Any recommendations/advice?
Just out of curiosity is this the pistol he uses for fun, for his EDC or his duty pistol when he was a Green Beret? If it was a fun gun he uses from time to time I can see tricking out the gun but if it's an EDC or duty gun I am not sure why you would put aftermarket parts in an already working and reliable pistol.
And your point ?😂 like it’s an insult. Of course they are boring and basic but gosh damn every time I pull the trigger it goes bang 🎉 and every time I start it , it runs.
Why is it they show the guy/gal shooting their gun but NEVER SHOW THE GROUPS THEY ARE GETTING? See I can film myself doing .15 splits but if I showed you the groups (bucket size at 7 yards) that might dampen your thoughts about my skills.... All my Glocks have for mods is better sights and NY-1/3.5 connector. Yea I used to do the IPSC/IDPA/Steel Challenge thing for 20 or so years. Had Bar-Sto barrels, buffed triggers with 3.5 connectors, grip melt but that was just a game. I even experimented with Vortex and Trijicon dot sights. Rather spend $2000 on reloading supplies and crank up thousands of rounds for practice that dump that kind of money on fancying up a Glock.
Why not a G45 instead of that G19 ?, if, how he said it, he was going more for a duty carry style,outside the waistband - and I understood the "company gun" part of this discussion...just wondering

@@coreybrady3192 I carry the 17 or 26 and rarely my P229 now. Same thing. The old school P229 feels like a boat anchor now. Lol. Admittedly, I probably shoot the best with the P365, but I actually think the thickness of the Glock and Walthers are perfect.
Get you a star firestar. Can't go wrong there
do you have a vid on the AR setup as seen here within?
In Europe all prices are with tax. Its 20% in Austria.
Gotta love socialism
@@RosaParksWasWytand the best part IS that those taxes goal isnt to invest in public services or infraestructuras ( because they are shhht)or "redistribución", the actual goal is to prevent the social escalator to make shure that we dont get rich.......i reached that conclussion when i Saw that they overtax makeing US poor and Next they say " ok, this year we have 3 millón to waste on something,what you preffer of this three, 1- new city library, 2- second dogs park ( walking dogs outside of the dogs park is prohibited,but dont bebcomfused, our city looks like third world )or 3 - a second public swimming pool ( they say public, but you must pay almost same prices than private one,but is a shhht).
Soo,the goal of this high taxes,was to prevent this money be in our pockets .....once they take out our money, they waste It.....
@@RosaParksWasWyt That's not socialism.
Depends what you want it for I’m not taking my built 34 out for duty use I’m taking a stock 17 with a TLR and RMR end of story
2:18 woah…. With that I feel in love❤.
I bought a Gen 5 Glock 34 to replace my Sig 226 as a carry weapon. I figured it would be cheaper if I had to give it up too law enforcement after using it. After all the accessories that gun is now worth twice what the Sig is
Slide stop/release debate over: “slide lever”
If I had a Glock, I'd definitely put a Houge Grip and a light on it. I thought about a flared mag well, but I don't think that would work with the Houge Grip.
Jesus Christ, how big are your hands? Glocks already have the ergos of dimensional lumber, and you want to add more?
@@sheldoniusRexI can agree with the slimline glocks with a hogue grip, but definitely not normal sized glocks.
@@sheldoniusRex I think I take large size gloves.
@@brianv3ntura Glock 43X to be exact.
You may have to cut the bottom part of the grip, but it can work, or leave in place and let it slip it over some over the mag well. Customized to meet your needs.
Exspecially good video.
I've got an SRO on several of my guns, I really love 'em.
I added a streamlight to my M&P, mags, ammo, training...that's it.
Thanks for letting us know 👊
P80s have entered the chat 😎
I have a question.. I currently own a 43x mos (really dont like shooting it) but I want something bigger to train with and I cant decide if I should go with the glock 19 or skip over it and go G45 or G47/17. Any recommendations/advice?
Just out of curiosity is this the pistol he uses for fun, for his EDC or his duty pistol when he was a Green Beret? If it was a fun gun he uses from time to time I can see tricking out the gun but if it's an EDC or duty gun I am not sure why you would put aftermarket parts in an already working and reliable pistol.
Does it make any sense getting a Glock 17 now the Glock 47 being sold?
Glocks are the Honda Civic of the gun community.
I always say Harley Sportster but Civic is acceptable😂
@@garrettlundy3959 for motorcycles the glock is more like the ninja400, cheap and reliable and does pretty well on track if the rider is good enough
Clearly a Camry 😂
The 17 is clearly the Camry 😂 @@douglascuvillyed.s8211
And your point ?😂 like it’s an insult. Of course they are boring and basic but gosh damn every time I pull the trigger it goes bang 🎉 and every time I start it , it runs.
Novesky tee badass!
I upgraded my glock by buying a Walther PDP. 😂😂😂😂😂
P14 build 😎
Best upgrade 😁
This is the way
I’m sure it runs great but that grip module is so fuddy I can’t get over it lol
Kinda reminds me of the “grip zone”
Bravo 👍🏼
I am just jealous that James gets to visit Austria.
I have a Roland Special but I actually like my 34 better.
34 is a damn nice gun 🔥 love it
So it’s a Green Beret Gucci Glock😂
I always enjoy videos of folks saying hold the pistol like this and when shooting look like this.
I don’t have a comp
Glocks just work and I feel like my Glock is perfect the way I set it up and it will last me the rest of our days
Big square window instead of circle: holoson 509t
What holster was he using with the Glock in the b-roll from the previous video with the retention?
MR920 Elite maybe...
Should have went with proven XD service in 45.acp tank of a pistol.
woah this is totally what i should do too!
Did I miss them mentioning what magwell they were using?
Looks like a katana from empire
That s so sick thanks for that video i could talk glock all day .
This video makes me crave a steam pwrd F150 video.
Why is it they show the guy/gal shooting their gun but NEVER SHOW THE GROUPS THEY ARE GETTING? See I can film myself doing .15 splits but if I showed you the groups (bucket size at 7 yards) that might dampen your thoughts about my skills....
All my Glocks have for mods is better sights and NY-1/3.5 connector. Yea I used to do the IPSC/IDPA/Steel Challenge thing for 20 or so years. Had Bar-Sto barrels, buffed triggers with 3.5 connectors, grip melt but that was just a game. I even experimented with Vortex and Trijicon dot sights.
Rather spend $2000 on reloading supplies and crank up thousands of rounds for practice that dump that kind of money on fancying up a Glock.
Why not both?
Why not a G45 instead of that G19 ?, if, how he said it, he was going more for a duty carry style,outside the waistband - and I understood the "company gun" part of this discussion...just wondering
