I'm never buying a firearm based on a Hickok45 video. Super informative and helpful, but this man makes shooting a 10mm look as easy as a full size .380 lol. You're too good my friend.
I’m 5’9 and have somewhat small hands. The Glock 20 was my first firearm and first gun I ever shot. Since I started with it, I’ve never had a problem thinking it’s ‘powerful’ or handling recoil. It’s an easy firearm to shoot imo. I’d rather shoot 10mm over 9mm any day. If you started with a 380 or something I can see how you would think the Glock 20 is hard to handle.
@@PoppyPopemI totally agree. I prefer to shoot my glock 20 but ammo is pricey. I shoot this just as well as 9mm but extended shooting full power loads my hand hurts after 200 rounds

I love my Glocks. It’s the only platform I trust and carry daily however the new Gen 5 changes with the large frame Glocks I don’t agree with. I experienced the same malfunctions with my Gen 5 20.
i noticed the malfunctions were with a older gen 3 mag. im sure hickok has put thousands of rds through those including being londed for extended time.
it was with a older gen 3 mag, so im definetly leaning weak spring with hot ammo. hickok we know how great glock mags are, but that may be one thats had just got weak over being loaded and shot for yrs. God bless
@@DS..69 "I was wondering why the gen. 3 and 4 only came with two mags when all the other calibers, excluding the .45, came with 3. I hope the gen. 5 comes with 3 mags.
My new Glock 20 gen. 5 is the tightest Glock I have ever seen. Not a bit of slide rattle when brand new. Cleaned and oiled it up before shooting it. It also had a very rough pick up rail on the bottom of the slide due to the thickness of the black finish. I Polished it up after I shot about 300 rounds. During the break in, I used 15 round magazines with # 2, #3, and #4 followers as well as new 10 round mags that came with the pistol. The new 15 round mags with #3 and #4 followers had weak springs from the factory, more like 9mm springs. Three malfunctions with those mags. The mags with #2 follower had very stiff springs and no malfunctions. Also the 10 round mags worked well and had no malfunctions. I need to shoot again with the polished pick up rail because I think it was slowing down the slide a bit as well.
lol toss that Glock 21 in the trash bro and that 17 for 1 9mm is a baby round and will just tickle them. The 21 the .45 is too thick and doesn’t even penetrate armor
@@mjhcvnhfx1229 idk why ur underestimating 10mm it’s gonna peak thru and then eventually snap that plate in half. It goes thru bulletproof glass bro lol 10mm will rock ur lights out and snap ur ribs if ur wearing a plate but for me that don’t matter I ain’t for the neck and head
@@wedaopps820 bro your ignorant asf on guns you said 9mm is a baby round and will tickle someone and you said .45 won’t penetrate armour as if any standard handgun will. I carry 10mm every day it doesn’t penetrate armour it’s still a handgun round.
As a Californian, the politicians will graciously allow me to own a Glock Gen 3. However, mere possession of a Gen 4 or Gen 5 would result in felony charges. Mere possession of a greater than 10 round magazine is a felony. We elect idiots.
A identical gun that has a different color will not make the roster as well- so a black X gun is “safe and approved” but the exact same gun in brown is “unsafe” and illegal to own California has access to about 5% of the handguns available to free states, and we pay inflated prices and many additional taxes/fees
I had the same feeding issues with my new G20 Gen 5. I took it to a gunsmith and he polished the barrel and feed ramp and all is well now: zero reliability issues. Before, you could take a round and place it in the barrel (out of the gun of course) and it took just the slightest bit of pressure to get the round to fully chamber. Now it drops in by gravity alone.
I have all 3 generations of these Glocks as well, not a single problem or malfunction, I’ve tried almost every kind of ammo possible through them. Shot thousands of rounds through them. Almost to a 1000 on the gen 5, no problems. There a Glock there reliable, and the Glock 20’s will always be my favorite ❤️❤️ love your videos Hickok❤️
I bought this gun at the egunner auction. Funny that you mention that the 10 round mags might come in handy -- I bought this gun in Washington state (10 round mag restriction), so it worked out! I'll be using this as a hunting sidearm this season in Montana. The only malfunctions I've had after ~200 rounds are from the slide release being slightly extended on the Gen 5's compared with earlier generations, so my hand causes it to lock back when the mag isn't empty. I guess that'd be called a user error though, so I'm trying to adjust my grip. I did lube the gun pretty heavily after receiving it though, seems like new Glocks are quite dry from the factory which could have caused your malfunctions (although you mentioned that you oiled it, so who knows). Anyway, great info as always! Life is good.
I absolutely love my Gen 3 Glock 20SF. Not a huge Glock fan, but I fell in love with the 20. Only issue I have with 10mm is factory ammo. I reload, so it doesn’t affect me as much, but for those that don’t, it just doesn’t make sense to go with the 10mm over the .40S&W. Just not much difference in factory offerings unless you go with the Underwood or Buffalo Bore.
I've found there seem to be levels in muzzle energy from full pressure loads all the way down to much weaker loads for the recoil-averse that want to say "I have a 10mm!" but want it to just kick like a stout 9mm. Examples: Lower end Win white box in the 400s, Rem green box in the 500s. Midrange SIG Sauer in the 600s. Upper end Underwood in the 700s. I haven't tried everything, though. I stay with the heftier stuff, be it FMJ or "carry" bullets (HP or fluted).
I love my Gen3 G20 SF, it's never let me down. I have a Gen5 G17 that is a joy to shoot. I was thinking about getting a Gen5 G20 but now I think I'll just keep what I have.
Keep in mind those malfunctions were more likely ammo/mag related since he was using previous Gen magazines and underwood has had quite a few QC issues as of lately
I recently purchased a G20 Gen5, and I like it alot. I made a few changes that are just personal preferences. I changed the front sight to a high vis green one. I bought the extended slide lock that makes a tear down easier. ( I wish Glock themselves would do that). And lastly I put on Talon grips which I have on all my pistols. The recoil does seem less than previous generations, which helps with accuracy, at least to me.
@@wingnutmcspazatron3957I mean, handgun enthusiasts accessorize and customize everything, but there are literally tens of millions of people carrying unmodified Glock 19s and 17s in this country.
Wow Hickok I have been watching your videos and you can shoot just about anything and with amazing consistency. I recently bought a new Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS to replace my S & W Shield +. The first time out while it cycled ammo really well the trigger break was horrible. I mean really hard or stiff! By the time it would finally fire I had lost focus on the shot. So much worse groupings than my Shield. So I bought a new Timney trigger and that made all the difference. That and I also bought it a Holosun SCS Green dot sight. Now it is a nice improvement over my Shield even though I still like my Shield. So far I have fired about 250 rounds of Blazer CCI and some Winchester ammo without any failures. While it's my first Glock after doing some upgrades it is now a really nice pistol to shoot!
WOW 😳, I was shocked how many times , of malfunctions ! I have same Generations, in 20&29 never had a problem, just goes to show you different reactions with different ammo. Thank you
HickHock, I know you’re told this often, but you’re aim is insane man. All the best to you and your family, and I always come to your channel whenever I’m looking for a new sidearm.
I can tell with the recoil control on that caliber that @hickock45 is the older gentleman you shake hands with at church and walk away with a broken hand. 😂
Ive had malfunctions with the Glock 43. The Sig hollowpoint ammo would "land" on the feed ramp, and would completely jam the pistol. It happens, some guns DONT LIKE certain specific ammo.
Those neutered magazines would be my guess as to why it malfunctioned so much, unless I missed you using standard capacity mags. Glocks are designed with standard capacity mags in mind. Once states like California and such cause design changes it compromises the pistol in my opinion.
It happened even with the standard cap 15 rnd in the video.... even those 10 rounders are no different in any way from the 15 rounders other then not allowing more than 10 to load so that doesn't effect the gun lol..
@@Must_Be_Luck Yeah, I was agreeing with you. I replied to the guy complaining about "neutered magazines". My understanding is that any generation of Glock can use any generation Glock mag.
My experience with the G20 has always been love/hate. It's such an awesome package but just isn't as reliable as you expect from a Glock. I had several malfunctions just like this, where it doesn't feed the next round. And I'm not even limp wristing.
I find that with my GEN3 G20SF this can happen with an aftermarket recoil spring/rod. When I was running a Wolff 22 lb setup it would happen every once in a while. I haven't noticed it with my current Wolff 20 lb spring, and with the factory guide rod/spring assembly I can't ever remember a malfunction. Really, with this said, even with a 22 lb recoil spring it wasn't a very common occurrence. Maybe once every few hundred rounds I'd get either a FTF or FTE. I think I even caught a stovepipe once. Also it didn't matter, it could be very hot ammo, or very watered down ammo. It could do it to either. The stiffer spring sure did make it shoot like a Cadillac though. I feel sure I've probably got going on 4K rounds through this gun, and have probably experienced 5-6 of these types of instances.
I have a g20 gen4 with zero malfunctions in prolly 1000-1500 rounds. It’s my favorite Glock to shoot and have had no malfunctions out my g29 gen4 either in my experiences.
Do you believe it’s the loose tolerance’s in barrel causing case bulge? I have had issues with both of mine. Changed to heavier springs but have not yet put an aftermarket barrel with tighter chamber support.
I was thinking about purchasing a model 20 gen 5, but now I might wait for awhile and see if this is a recurring problem. You might have to do a chapter 2 in the near future. Thanks Hickok.
It seems like a failure to feed, probably due to the mags, as you can see that with the first failure, the extractor failed to grab the casing so that tells me the round wasn't properly seated when the slide went forward. at that point usually the extractor should hold the rim just fine. I would say it's either the mags or the gun needs to be fired more to loosen up a bit.
Sure seems like it's got a lot of flip compared to the Gen 4, and the heavier ammo casings seems like it's on trajectory for the next county. I wonder did they lighten the spring or slide some?
Alaskan Ballistics was having reliability issues with the G20 gen5 and recommended cleaning the gun thoroughly out of the box (most Glocks havent needed this in the past). I cleaned my G20 gen5 pretty good out of the box and its had zero malfunctions in a few hundred rounds (4 different kinds of hollow points including underwood, hard cast underwood and 3 types of FMJ).
The Glock 19 is one of the best pistols that we use in the Iraqi security forces, but always the best Bronck Hi-Power pistol, the pride of the Belgian industry. I hope your episodes will translate it
G19 is a excellent shooter. Very horrible stopping power. 10mm will knock down a bear 9mm is a great gun but if u need to knock down multiple targets at once in a real situation never would i put that round over a 10mm but thats just me
It could have possibly been the mag that caused the malfunction… I’ve got one certain Glock mag that causes a malfunction in my 19x every time I use it and never had any problems with any others…
@@jameskennedy3365 Because the g45 and 19x are the same gun? Same specs. Go look it up since the stazi here wont let me post links(tried 3 times, FU G)
Multiple malfunctions. The one I bought had multiple malfunctions every other mag it seemed. The Gen 5 20 is almost entirely different than the Gen 3/4. The slide is significantly lighter, there is a lot of steel removed from inside the slide and outside where the front is rounded off and the slide serrations and the slide cut out making for a much faster slide speed and I assume would batter the frame more. This would also explain why my brass was ejecting literally 30+ feet away, my Gen 3 is only 10 feet with the same load. The recoil spring is longer and entirely different from the Gen 4 making aftermarket support impossible for the forceable future. No barrels are available however KKM is working on one and the G20 Gen 5 shares the same lockup as the G29 so any aftermarket G29 extended barrel should work. I sold mine a couple weeks after having just bought it and bought a Gen 3 Glock 20. No malfunctions after 400 rounds now.
Had issues with my glock 20 gen 4, the trigger wouldn't reset, no issues with my 19x. Wonder if glock really should just stick to making 9mm for anything newer than gen 3
Sheesh, Gen 5. In the People's Republic of Kalifornia we're in a time warp. Can't sell the latest stuff in this state because of our loooney state government.
My Gen4 G40 had a couple failures to feed in the first 200 rounds or so but since then it's been perfect (have probably over 600 rounds through it now). Maybe the large frame Glocks just need more of break-in.
There is a GunBroker auction active right now that says "Glock 10mm pre ban 15 round magazine- Buy now $180.00". I just bought a model 40, it came with 3-15 rounders
The 10 round mags use a different fallower that causes the round to tilt down when it’s being extracted from the magazine mostly on the last round that causes more of a issue with hallow points. If you change out the fallower with a standard double stack fallower it fixes the issue just doesn’t show the round count properly through the witness holes
I keep hearing the 15 round mags don’t malfunction at all. Your probably right about the fallower. Whats your favorite kind of 10mm ammo to feed your 20?
I took the Glock armourer course, I don't know whyglock doesn't brag about all the internal improvements, my guess is the malfunction thing is some little tweak in a mag or extractor or something. No doubt in my mind it will be addressed. Sadly seems like you want to avoid the first few months of production. Saw it with gen 4s then later with the 42 (took them 3 tries to get the mags correct). I trust my Glocks to work just perfectly as long as I do my part. But any gun has to prove itself especially the first few months of production.
My Gen 1 Model 20 has been flawless for almost 30 years. I developed a load using my Dillon SDB, and once I got the taper set correctly, they never fail to fire.
@@mikek5298 they probably have a different spring and stopper that isn't the same as the factory magazines that are supposed to come with it. Different spring tension may be causing the rounds to not cycle properly
My 19 is a Gen 4. I thought I would like the finger grooves on the grip, but I don't. The gen 3 is better IMO. Maybe I'll go for a Gen 5, but sticking with 9mm.
I’ve seen others have problems with their thumbs riding the slide lock and causing malfunctions on the Gen5 pistols. Something about the amount the slide lock protrudes maybe? That said Hickok has been shooting Glocks longer than some members of Congress are old, so he’d know.

HickHock, I know you’re told this often, but you’re aim is insane man. All the best to you and your family, and I always come to your channel whenever I’m looking for a new sidearm.
I can tell with the recoil control on that caliber that @hickock45 is the older gentleman you shake hands with at church and walk away with a broken hand. 😂
Ive had malfunctions with the Glock 43. The Sig hollowpoint ammo would "land" on the feed ramp, and would completely jam the pistol. It happens, some guns DONT LIKE certain specific ammo.
G17/19 eat everything
A simple fixe is polishing the feed ramp.
It’s not the Glock it’s just single stack period not counting 1911s
My friends glock hated hollow point, it refused to feed the last round
Because it’s sig 🤮
Got that bad boy on 02/09/2023 for my birthday from my older sister, best pistol ever
I love the g20.4
Been watching this man for years and he hasn’t got any older still looks the same
Those neutered magazines would be my guess as to why it malfunctioned so much, unless I missed you using standard capacity mags. Glocks are designed with standard capacity mags in mind. Once states like California and such cause design changes it compromises the pistol in my opinion.
It happened even with the standard cap 15 rnd in the video.... even those 10 rounders are no different in any way from the 15 rounders other then not allowing more than 10 to load so that doesn't effect the gun lol..
Except he's using standard capacity Gen 3 or 4 mags...
@@seanscott9186 that doesn’t effect anything I use them with my gen 5 model 20 with zero issues
@@Must_Be_Luck Yeah, I was agreeing with you. I replied to the guy complaining about "neutered magazines". My understanding is that any generation of Glock can use any generation Glock mag.

Well Glock damn it! Hickock45's at it again 😄 💯
My experience with the G20 has always been love/hate. It's such an awesome package but just isn't as reliable as you expect from a Glock. I had several malfunctions just like this, where it doesn't feed the next round. And I'm not even limp wristing.
I find that with my GEN3 G20SF this can happen with an aftermarket recoil spring/rod. When I was running a Wolff 22 lb setup it would happen every once in a while. I haven't noticed it with my current Wolff 20 lb spring, and with the factory guide rod/spring assembly I can't ever remember a malfunction.
Really, with this said, even with a 22 lb recoil spring it wasn't a very common occurrence. Maybe once every few hundred rounds I'd get either a FTF or FTE. I think I even caught a stovepipe once. Also it didn't matter, it could be very hot ammo, or very watered down ammo. It could do it to either. The stiffer spring sure did make it shoot like a Cadillac though.
I feel sure I've probably got going on 4K rounds through this gun, and have probably experienced 5-6 of these types of instances.
"perfection"
I have a g20 gen4 with zero malfunctions in prolly 1000-1500 rounds. It’s my favorite Glock to shoot and have had no malfunctions out my g29 gen4 either in my experiences.
I own a Glock 19 gen5 and have had zero malfunctions.
Do you believe it’s the loose tolerance’s in barrel causing case bulge? I have had issues with both of mine. Changed to heavier springs but have not yet put an aftermarket barrel with tighter chamber support.
My grandfather got a gen 5 the day it came out and it is sweet!
I was thinking about purchasing a model 20 gen 5, but now I might wait for awhile and see if this is a recurring problem. You might have to do a chapter 2 in the near future. Thanks Hickok.
He is
This could also be mag related since he was using older gen mags
It seems like a failure to feed, probably due to the mags, as you can see that with the first failure, the extractor failed to grab the casing so that tells me the round wasn't properly seated when the slide went forward. at that point usually the extractor should hold the rim just fine. I would say it's either the mags or the gun needs to be fired more to loosen up a bit.
@@huracan200173 yup
I had my first squib this weekend, I'm so glad I noticed it while shooting and I didnt explode my barrel
It really is bad ass how H.45 and the H.Outlaw a shoot so far with hand guns
Not so honest "outlaw" edits his shooting footage Hickok is legendary and accepts his misses (the very few he has)
Always enjoy your video's. You have awesome knowledge only guns you were shooting and also great knowledge and advice for life !!!
I love you! ❤ Your personality is the best, and you always upload the guns I want to get 🥰
lol
Us poor fellas here in Washington that watch you are only allowed 10 rnds. Thanks for the content. Love watching you channel.
Sure seems like it's got a lot of flip compared to the Gen 4, and the heavier ammo casings seems like it's on trajectory for the next county.
I wonder did they lighten the spring or slide some?
Alaskan Ballistics was having reliability issues with the G20 gen5 and recommended cleaning the gun thoroughly out of the box (most Glocks havent needed this in the past). I cleaned my G20 gen5 pretty good out of the box and its had zero malfunctions in a few hundred rounds (4 different kinds of hollow points including underwood, hard cast underwood and 3 types of FMJ).
I just bought a Glock 40 MOS gen 4 (i guess the only Gen for the model 40) and it runs perfectly, any ammo ive tried so far.
@@Peter-nm1pshell yeah just stuff 3 rounds in the bore and see which rim gets struck
Mine is flawless as well!
The Springfield XDM Elite seems to be the only reliable 10mm pistol rn that's reasonably priced
So much for Glock perfection, Fan boys. 😂
I hate to bash other guns ,to each their own ,but my Springfield XDMs are cracking up right now
As always excellent video very educational.
That's more failures than I've had with my Glocks in 20 years. Disappointing.
Yeah rather have a revolver for a bear gun since thats also a common role for the glock 20
@@juliasanne6805 ive had my gen 3 glock 20 for many many years.
Haven't had a single malfunction out of a couple thousand rounds.
@@cosmicbilly okey but here it seems the gen 5 has some issues. But idk im no expert so

The Glock 19 is one of the best pistols that we use in the Iraqi security forces, but always the best Bronck Hi-Power pistol, the pride of the Belgian industry. I hope your episodes will translate it
G19 is a excellent shooter. Very horrible stopping power. 10mm will knock down a bear 9mm is a great gun but if u need to knock down multiple targets at once in a real situation never would i put that round over a 10mm but thats just me
It could have possibly been the mag that caused the malfunction… I’ve got one certain Glock mag that causes a malfunction in my 19x every time I use it and never had any problems with any others…
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
We need a 19x with an optic plate.. Get on it Glock!
They have it, its called the g45. Get it in MOS or not, your choice.
@@joefratianni8693 what’s the 45 got to do with wanting Glock to offer the 19x MOS smh
@@jameskennedy3365 Because the g45 and 19x are the same gun? Same specs. Go look it up since the stazi here wont let me post links(tried 3 times, FU G)
i love this guy lol "no grip on the gen3" proceeds to effortlessly hit all 10 shots lol
Multiple malfunctions. The one I bought had multiple malfunctions every other mag it seemed. The Gen 5 20 is almost entirely different than the Gen 3/4.
The slide is significantly lighter, there is a lot of steel removed from inside the slide and outside where the front is rounded off and the slide serrations and the slide cut out making for a much faster slide speed and I assume would batter the frame more.
This would also explain why my brass was ejecting literally 30+ feet away, my Gen 3 is only 10 feet with the same load.
The recoil spring is longer and entirely different from the Gen 4 making aftermarket support impossible for the forceable future.
No barrels are available however KKM is working on one and the G20 Gen 5 shares the same lockup as the G29 so any aftermarket G29 extended barrel should work.
I sold mine a couple weeks after having just bought it and bought a Gen 3 Glock 20. No malfunctions after 400 rounds now.
I put about 500 rounds through mine. Luckily no issues for me
Glad I went with the XDM Elite and saved some money.
Had issues with my glock 20 gen 4, the trigger wouldn't reset, no issues with my 19x. Wonder if glock really should just stick to making 9mm for anything newer than gen 3

Please consider reviewing the shadow systems XR920 elite. I just bought it yesterday
My Gen4 G40 had a couple failures to feed in the first 200 rounds or so but since then it's been perfect (have probably over 600 rounds through it now). Maybe the large frame Glocks just need more of break-in.
@knfjdkghjudfhsgkjdhf every gun has a malfunction in the beginning eapecially. I call BS
There is a GunBroker auction active right now that says "Glock 10mm pre ban 15 round magazine- Buy now $180.00". I just bought a model 40, it came with 3-15 rounders
Report it as a scam
Glockmalfunction®️
The 10 round mags use a different fallower that causes the round to tilt down when it’s being extracted from the magazine mostly on the last round that causes more of a issue with hallow points. If you change out the fallower with a standard double stack fallower it fixes the issue just doesn’t show the round count properly through the witness holes
I keep hearing the 15 round mags don’t malfunction at all. Your probably right about the fallower. Whats your favorite kind of 10mm ammo to feed your 20?
I took the Glock armourer course, I don't know whyglock doesn't brag about all the internal improvements, my guess is the malfunction thing is some little tweak in a mag or extractor or something. No doubt in my mind it will be addressed. Sadly seems like you want to avoid the first few months of production. Saw it with gen 4s then later with the 42 (took them 3 tries to get the mags correct). I trust my Glocks to work just perfectly as long as I do my part. But any gun has to prove itself especially the first few months of production.
Rule of thumb for anything.
Never get buy it when it first comes out. Wait for the "bug testing" to take place first
My Gen 1 Model 20 has been flawless for almost 30 years. I developed a load using my Dillon SDB, and once I got the taper set correctly, they never fail to fire.
Did I miss something on federal leaving the team?..I love underwood and 10mm
Yup I noticed that too
Love your videos.
I'm thinking it might those 10 round magazines that are making it hang up.
Why?
@@mikek5298 When you modify a big magazine to only allow 10 rounds, it's easy to screw it up.
@@mikek5298 they probably have a different spring and stopper that isn't the same as the factory magazines that are supposed to come with it. Different spring tension may be causing the rounds to not cycle properly
Exactly what I said
You’re an actual Legend. Respect brother.
3 malfunctions...now if that was a Hi-Point and not "Glock Perfection"...maybe a new thumbnail with you holding your nose is called for?

My 19 is a Gen 4. I thought I would like the finger grooves on the grip, but I don't. The gen 3 is better IMO. Maybe I'll go for a Gen 5, but sticking with 9mm.
I like it on 17, but has no experience without them on older gen.

Thanks for the review. I love my Glock so please keep us informed.
These jam with certain ammo and even the other generation magazines make it jam waited years to be disappointed
Wow, I ordered my gym five today. Can’t wait to get that bad boy.
I’ve seen others have problems with their thumbs riding the slide lock and causing malfunctions on the Gen5 pistols. Something about the amount the slide lock protrudes maybe? That said Hickok has been shooting Glocks longer than some members of Congress are old, so he’d know.
Surprisingly, being in Cali, my Gen 3 Glock 20 hasn't jammed up on me yet, just other people for limp wristing. Was my first firearm and I love it!
