I totally agree with you, after watching the entire video. Full disclosure, I had left a lengthy comment, after watching just a few minutes of the video, that I had to delete. I was wrong in assumption about where you going with the comparison. Luckily for me, I kept the video going while I was typing. When I heard you say you would choose the Glock if you had to go to war, I knew you were an honest broker; and not some shill for Staccato. Well done!
I can not deny that I still need some eye candy with my pistols. Accuracy, comfort, and reliability are definitely available with many guns out there, so my tiebreaker these days is the appeal to they eye for me. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount more, assuming the other boxes are close. Great episode as always.
@GR1videos I always enjoy your videos and look forward to what's to come! I have yet to shoot a 9mm double stack 9mm 1911/2011...when it does happen, I have a feeling it's going to be an expensive experience... :)
Great video as always. You are among my favorite gun reviewers. I have Staccatos and 1911s which I enjoy and sometimes carry but after a career carrying a G23, I still carry a Glock (currently a Gen 5 G27) frequently. Thanks for posting these informative and unbiased videos.
I started with 1911's and had no desire for a plastic gun. After a lot of miles under my belt I started having back issues, and in 2006 at the suggestion of someone I trusted who's been there done that, I picked up my first G19. First time out with it at 7 yards I was faster and even with the mushy trigger, had better accuracy. With the exception of FN and Canik, I've been through every quality poly gun and still carry a Glock to this day. Getting the boat anchor out of my pants made a big difference in my quality of life. My EDC is mostly a G17.5 or G19.4.
I definitely feel what you are saying about switching between the triggers. Even rotating between the staccato and a canik (which have great triggers) its just no compariosn with the action doing different things. In the end, what i take from your video though, the one you know and practice with more will always win.
I was gonna say. I own a Staccato P WITHOUT the RDS, its just the way we were trained in the PD. People love their RDS and Staccatos, take them off and all of a sudden things change, rear blacked out sight with a green fiber front. As for my Glock, it's a 4th Gen with bright tru-glo's, solid guide rod, trigger and it shoots very plush and smooth. 2011's are fun but when it comes down to it...we all know its the price and the tacticool looks of it that gets people. I am eyeballing that Glock 19C though.
I’m a 1911/2011 guy for the trigger but it’s hard to beat Glock durability and reliability, the only drawback to the 19c is it’s a Gen 4 and they had some serious extraction issues with brass to the face. So if it were a Gen 5 I think that would be a tough decision but I still think I’d take the oh I don’t know either one😂! By the way if you want another 19c check Cabelas or bass pro shop they have them in stock. Rick
Depends what it’s for. For competition, the staccato, for everything else neither of the 2 choices. Comps on a defensive/home defense pistol is silly I would run a non comped G19 for everything else.
Hi there, it all depends on how accurate you are, if you're not going to get it done professionally. I start at around self-defense range, 5-7 yards, and keep moving back until I stop being accurate. But if you haven't got the trigger control down with your accuracy, then you're wasting your time.
@@r1sabotage without a red dot I’m holding about a 6 to 7 inch group at 25 yards. At 7 yards it’s about a 1 to 2 inch but that is going slow (all with a USP). My staccato’s are more accurate and have red dots. I can shoot better groups but still not fast. I have to slow down or it gets way bigger with speed. They are still good hits just much bigger groups. Many of my other pistols don’t hold very good groups. I just picked up a P07 that has good groups without a red dot. My p10c while a great gun, doesn’t have good groups at all.
@Colonel1Bravo just remember, there is a difference between target shooting and combat shooting. Target shooting is nice, but in a real-life situation, if you don't practice combat shooting, you will not develop that skill to react fast in a self-defense situation. If you're hitting the vitals, just keep working on it to shrink the group. practice your dry firing and pray attention to the sights. if they're disturbed when you shoot, that's your group widening.

there you go! excellent shooting and over the shoulder view. I appreciate your comparison. Whew fast for each.
I try to listen
That was really good information and great shooting

Damn good honest review! Love both guns
Dope video. Just got my hands on a 19C and was wondering if anyone would’ve made a comparison between the 2. Now here I am lol.

Thank you.
Great video and Well said Sir. Its something about that Glock!
awesome video! 2 different platforms so I wouldn't expect similar results drom both guns, its all personal preference.

Good stuff
Awesome 😎👍👍👍
Two different FAs but of the same function and reliability. The issue there is, if you are willing to spend more, then you know which one to choose.

Have you tried the Glock performance trigger?
I have both guns and I love my C2 but have a guilty pleasure for my G19...... I hate that you and I share the some love for that DAMN GLOCK!! LOL

swap the backplates and put the 19c slide on a gen5 frame
I put an Overwatch precision trigger in my G19-3 with Brownell's slide, Holosun 507c, and KKM barrel. and it almost hangs with my P.
I carry the C2 , 43x and 45 Glocks

Everyday environment I’m going Staccato. Dirty, mud, muck, dust I’m going Glock.
Agree. Glock everyday and twice on Sunday.
I dislike glocks, so no. I would go with a 1911 or the stacc all day long. Funny part is I shoot really good with glocks.
GO DAWGS!
Seriously, can't compare a 2k gun to a $500 gun.
What distance do you recommend sighting in the red dots for on hand guns
Hi there, it all depends on how accurate you are, if you're not going to get it done professionally. I start at around self-defense range, 5-7 yards, and keep moving back until I stop being accurate. But if you haven't got the trigger control down with your accuracy, then you're wasting your time.

@@r1sabotage will give it a try.
I can't help but read your shirt as Saint Wrong. You doing sketchy shit? Huh? Are YA? 😂😂
not really sure what to think about that.
😆
Why don’t you have the 19C cut for an optic?
It throws a lot of carbon and m pretty sure it would get the optic lens dirty very quickly. With that said, I have thought about it.
Can you put an apex trigger in the 19c
If it’ll fit a gen 4 then yes
Slap a ranger proof trigger on that glock and a dot and than go back to the test .
