- Finally available in the United States, the Glock 25 with its G19-sized slide and frame, while also housing 15-rounds of .380 ACP, places it as a contender with other high-capacity .380 ACP pistols in the marketplace, like the Ruger Security 380 for one.
Join me for a complete review of the Glock G25 to include; specifications, features, range time, maintenance, carry and concealment, and my final thoughts.

I like the g42. My everyday carry. I will keep my eye out for the g25. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate you doing that. I like the G42, but I am not as accurate with it as with the G25 or, it seems the G28. I need more range time with all. I will have a comparison video coming out between the G28, G42, and G25.
Excellent Video Production ! Easy Learning ! Thank You!!
Thank you for watching and providing a gracious comment. Both are appreciated.😁
Love the opening! Glock finally doing what they could have done years ago! I guess Ruger must have provoked them to put out a higher capacity. 380 by releasing the Security. 380 .....
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. I agree. The G42 was introduced first and then the G25. The G28 had already been here. Evidently, TALO thought what you and I were thinking; there was no real competition from Glock in the 380 class of pistols and that Glock needed to manufacture the G42 and G25 in the states. Hopefully, sales of the Glock 380 pistol lineup will work for them. All three are excellent pistols.
Thanks for the review excellent pistol
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Yes, about time. I'd go so far as to say just offer it with different optic cuts, and you'd have a winner. And down that rabbit hole, perhaps PSA will get on the bus and offer one with that - at half the price of the G25. Good video, thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate both. We'll see what's in store for the G25. Who knows? Maybe a GEN5 on a G17-size with RMR cut? But I am still waiting for a Glock PCC to show up, which will probably be not in my lifetime, but who knows, Glock just might surprise us.
The best structure review on you tube well done must be a teacher
Thanks for watching and commenting. My background does include some teaching, but primarily technical writing and instructional program development.
Aways love your reviews. My favorite carry is the Glock 26 but always wanted a 380 Glock like the 28 or 25 cause I've always preferred the 19 & 26 size grips over the 17 size grip.
Thanks for being with me. Both the G28 and G25 are worth having. I favor the G25, because of its G19 size, but that's just me.
I remember the spate of reviewers having problems with the first wave of G25's that came out. I wasn't in the market for one (still not) but I knew Glock would straighten out any problems and make a good pistol. The G19 size is easy to conceal and 15 plus one is a good amount of ammo to have on hand. I still say carry one or two extra magazines. While 380 is low on the power scale, it is enough to deal with two legged critters and is a very good option for those who need a light recoil. Thanks for showing us your G25, hope you have many years of enjoyment with it.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glock is probably better than most when getting issues straightened out with any of their pistols. I am not a Glock fanboy, but I do recognize their worth (quality, relative accuracy, etc.). Chances are that one would not need extra ammunition aside from what is in the gun, but an extra two magazines full would make me happier than what is just in the gun.
Da cricket part was funny 😂
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Ayup! The channel is not sponsored or monetized. It runs on private funds - mine.
I wonder if the lower frame is the same as the G19 where you could install a G25 upper onto a G19 lower and it would still function normally. If that's the case that means you could have one gun with caliber conversions into 380acp, 9mm, 40sw and 357sig.
Thanks for watching and for your question, which is an interesting one. Dimension-wise, it would seem that the G19 and G25 are identical. The chambering area would, of course, be different because of the shorter case of the .380 ACP cartridge. The magazine for the .380 ACP is also different, but physically the same size as the G19 magazine. The recoil spring rate for the G25 and G19 may be different, but I have no way of verifying that.
With that, it would seem logical that one could put a G25 upper on a G19 frame, install a G25 magazine, and it should work. The other calibers you mentioned may or may not. The G23 can be converted to a 9mm or .357 SIG with (supposedly) just a barrel swap. I don't experiment so I can't really get into that.
Hello great video, do you know if i can use a glock 19 upgraded trigger on a glock 25? As well as a glock 19 magwell and magazine extension
Thanks fr watching and for your question. Don't quote me on this, but since the G25 is a GEN3, it would seem logical that an upgraded trigger for the G19 GEN3 would work, since they are the same frame and generation. It would seem that the only difference between a G25 and G19 GEN3 would be the barrel, recoil assembly, and magazine.
Seems like a good pistol. 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. It is a good pistol. Whether it will be continued in the states, or not, I guess is up to consumers.
Love our production. It reminds me of Mercedes Benz and BMW technician training films I watched back from 1970 to 2000. I retired in 2017 after decades of rewarding German car employment
The slacker trainees in the back of the classroom who weren't interested in improving themselves would make snide comments or sleep during the films.
I'm currently comparing this G25 .380 with the Walther PD380.
I bought the G25 9mm Kurz.
Sorry Walther.
Thank you ✌️
73, male, 50 miles from New SigHampshire.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and sharing your story. The manual of arms of the Walther PD380 is quite different as is the operation of the pistol, being a DA/SA hammer fired one. I also like the safety/de-cocking feature as I do the different magazine release at the bottom of the trigger guard. The capacity of the Walther is less than the G25, coming in at 9+1 rounds vs. 15+1 rounds, and that may be a deciding factor in itself. Good luck in your endeavor. 76, male, about 3,546 Miles S.E. from Nome Alaska😁
HaHa!! , Nome, Alaska!.
I'm 3 miles from President Franklin Pierce homestead/museum 🇺🇲
@@johndeere1951a Beautiful state in the summer but can be brutal in the winter - like Northern Michigan where I am from originally. I left Michigan in '66 without any shoes, joined the U.S. of Army and got some shoes. I was stationed in Georgia when I relieved myself from the military complex after eleven years - and stayed here. I just can't justify going north of the Mason-Dixon line anymore.😁
You can be a narrator for a PBS show
Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate both. I tried to get James Earl Jones to narrate, but he was busy. One of my viewers commented that my voice sounded like "Lurch" from the "Addams Family."
It’s well done and professional, it reminded me of Wild America when I was a kid back in the 80s. I just picked this 25 up, I like it my wife likes it I seen this gun in South America 10 years ago at the time it was like running into a Unicorn.
@@mr.rosarioshistoryvlog9303 Thank you. I appreciate that. As I mentioned, the G25 is a limited production run. How many are produced, I can't answer. In my discussion with Glock in Smyrna, they would not give me a number or indicate if more would be produced. I was just happy to be able to procure one; it is a rare bird (at least at this time). I mentioned also that I would like to see the G25 receive the GEN5 treatment. Whether that will happen I don't know and I am not going to hold my breath. It is, in it's current form, a very nice .380 auto pistol.
I enjoyed your rather extensive review. I'll wait for a more updated version with optic cut. 👍
Thanks for joining me. Right now, the G25 is in limited production. If sales look good, production may be expanded. A MOS cut version might be nice, but I am not going to hold my breath for one. A GEN5 G25 MOS would be sweet!
I’m curious, do you think they’ll make a G25 in a Gen 5?
Thanks for watching and for your question. As I stated in the review, I hope that the G25 will be given the GEN5 treatment. However, I believe that might depend on sales and how popular the G25 becomes, if it becomes popular at all. There is a lot of competition; Ruger Security 380, Smith & Wesson, etc.
Right now, and from what I understand, the G25 is in limited production, much like the G42. It will be up to the consumer to decide the fate of both. Could the G25 benefit from the GEN5 treatment? Absolutely! A GMB for better accuracy, the nDLC finishing for better protection, the ambidextrous slide stop for left-handed shooters, no grip finger grooves might be a plus, front slide serrations might help in racking the slide for those with weak hand strength, and perhaps a smoother trigger would all help.
For now, it's a wait-n-see game. With that said, I like the G25 even in GEN3 form. But, and as with my G23 GEN4, G19 GEN4, G20 GEN4, and G22 GEN4 that have been replaced with GEN5 versions, the G25 GEN3 would be replaced with a GEN5, if Glock decides that the G25 is worthy of an upgrade.
Another excellent video. Thoughtful, informative, entertaining and concise! I for one, would like to see a .380 version of the Glock 43/48 platform! Thinner profile, slightly smaller capacity, and lighter, with optics option!
Thank you. I appreciate the the kudos. You might want to check out the G42 that, I think, would be as close to a single-stack G48 as one could get. The 6-round capacity and no optics option, might be the turn-off, however. I do have a review on the G42 (Glock G42 - Pocket Pistol Protection Perfection or Just Another Paltry Pistol? - ua-cam.com/video/EAjoj_Y30K0/v-deo.html) and will be releasing a video comparing the G28, G42, and G25 in the future.
You need to edit your specifications page.
Available with 15 & 17 rd magazines
Thanks for watching and commenting. The 15-round specification is the base specification. A G25+2 magazine is available, according to Glock, but trying to find one is near impossible. Since the magazine is physically the size of a G19's magazines, a +2 extension may be available for the G19 that would work. For now, I am not going to mislead someone into thinking that they can find a 25+2 magazine. If you know of a source for the G25+2 magazine, aside from the Glock website page, please let me know.
@@RangeRoninChronicles The 17rd magazine is literally the 15rd G25 magazine with the +2 glock extension. Most extensions work, how well is up to the spring.
@@UN-intelligent Good to know. Thank you.
@@RangeRoninChronicles I am not sure of the spring in the +4/5 g19 kits, but you use factory spring on the +2 extension on the G25/28. I haven't tried those kits yet, but I'll update you when I try.
@@UN-intelligent Thank you. I would be appreciative of the update.
👍👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching and your double-thumbs up - once again!😁
So now you need to get new recoil spring, barrel, trigger, sites, striker spring, striker back plate, yada, yada, yada and you will be all set.
Thanks for watching. I don't think that you would really need all that. With dimensions being what they are, perhaps a GEN 3 G19 lower, a complete G25 upper, and a couple of G25 magazines, should give you what is exhibited here. Or, you could just purchase a G25.
