What’s really cool is that you can interchange the slides from one to the other making a G17 and a G19. It’s like having the option of four different configurations in two pistols. 👍🏻
Wait until you hear about palmetto state armory and the dagger system. It’s a Glock 19 Gen 3 clone, with a few differences. They have full size frames which is the G17 size grip. They also have barrels and slides to make it a full size barrel and frame. I can mix it up a lot. Look into it if you think this is interesting lol.
I've always loved the simple logic of Glock model numbers, where the square root of the model number gives the grip length, the cube root gives the slide length, and the natural log gives the caliber. (heh - not really - the only Glock I know is mine: the 41 in .45 ACP)
After carrying a G22 gen 3 on duty and owning several Glock 19s (gen 3 & 4) i decided it was time to get a G45/19X. Picked up a G45 and it is a great pistol but honestly the G19 still feels like the most well balanced pistol for me. I'm not a big guy though so the G17 handles always seemed too big for me and I'm probably one of the few people out there that actually like the finger grooves and more specifically the Gen 4 Glock 19.
@@savage22bolt32 i think i just like the finger grooves because they fit my hand just right but I remember a lot of the bigger guys that i worked with didnt care for them and are glad the gen 5s got rid of them.
When I bought my G45 I ALMOST bought a G17 because I figured the longer slide and sight radius would be better for accuracy. But the 45 balanced in my hand so nicely that I just said "Maybe later". I liked the longer grip of the 45 better than the 19, but only by a little. Another "maybe later". This is my first Glock and so far, I like it.
I'm not a gun guy at all. I have a weapon for basic self-defense, target shoot only enough to try to keep my skills sufficient enough to not be a menace to myself or others, and watch videos like those of Hickok45 to try to learn how to be a safer gun owner overall. But if anyone could make me a gun guy, Hickok45 could. I'd happily spend an afternoon on the range with him just to enjoy his company. We wouldn't even have to shoot anything.
G45 MOS with a TLR7A and Holosun 407C IWB appendix carry and tucked in shirt. I didn’t like the shorter G19 grip not filling my hand. No problem concealing.
People say this, but it’s impossible for me to conceal a full-sized grip in appendix carry. I’ve tried. Prints like crazy. Im an average sized guy, 150lbs. Much prefer the G19 size.
Looking at purchasing the G45 and adding the ramjet. Seeing that you have it already what are your thoughts about adding a gas pedal?? Or is that over kill with the ram jet
The 19 size is just a magic size not just being a 9mm. I don't like the 17 and dont shoot it as well. I have the 19,23, and 32. I don't know why it feels perfect, I never liked glocks. The more I started shooting in general I realized how good the glock 19 was and why everyone is chasing it. The aggressive grip angle with the hump in the grip give it a great feel when you learn to shoot a glock properly. Its the only handguns I own anymore.
G45 is my carry gun (comped with a RogueGunWorks comp) and I love it. Haven’t shot the 49 yet, but I can say the G19 grip is just too darn small for me. I truly wish there was a “Medium” size frame in between the “Full Size” and “Compact” frame sizes.
@@PowuhToSeven 😆 that would work too! IDC what they call it, but please for the love of all things holy, make a frame size between the G17/45 & 19/49… even if they have to make a new magazine size to accommodate, at least I could use all my G17 mags with it while the G51(😂) mags come standard
@@SullyCortezsmith and Wesson has the idea down with the sd9 series but if they made it in the m&p series that would be nice. 16 round mags to fit a grip thats in between the two I believe. If im wrong, anyone who knows let me know so im not spreading misinformation🤙
@@sheil07thank you for the heads up! Probably just the angle of the grip on the smith. If they make an in between for mid sized hands that would be sweet!
I have the 19x. Basically a 45. I love it. Being short with big hands, it fits me well. Doesn’t poke the nuts when I appendix carry, yet I got good grip.
I was looking to buy a Tikka CTR and a Hickok45 released a video about it yesterday. I was looking at a Glock 45 this morning and a video about the Glock 45 comes along.
Out of all 9mm Glocks I own, the most balanced to shoot, "for me", are as follows: 1) Glock 45 2) Glock 19X 3) Glock 19 4) Glock 17 5) Glock 26 6) Glock 43X 7) Glock 43 For EDC........ always Glock 19 followed by Glock 43X. Your mileage my very.
My son and I have watched you for years it really appreciate the accuracy and levity you give to proper handling of firearms they’re both welders now my daughter is a nurse at the emergency room RN Myself retired lineman, Verizon so when I ask you to look into MH 370 Ashton Forbes. He’s a good American good man I’m not subject to hyperbole thank you and God bless.🇺🇸
I was just telling my cousin that literally two hours ago.. everyone like to claim it’s a 19x but really the whole thing is just better! From the parts’ quality to the actual end product, it’s the perfect defensive/offensive/duty weapon.
Your G45 has the large back strap on it, that’s why the HUMP feels so pronounced. You can cut it down so you can still have the beaver tail, but have a more comparable grip to the G19\49 grip. I have a G19 and a G45, both shoot identical for me the G19 can feel a little short at time especially when going fast from concealment.
Thanks for the Glock love. I own a G34 Gen 3 and the G45 and G48 they all work every time I need them too. Both the 45 and 48 are in my carry rotation along with my wheel guns and have never felt it hard to conceal either one. Thanks again. (:
I love the 19x/45. But honestly with my health issues i carry a g48, a 43x, and a g26 with glock plus 2 extensions( but not at the same time!). I added a g36 .45acp last year, I can carry any of those is a DeSantis pocket holstet. And it doesn't hurt my back. But i definitely a glock fan boy, but I think I will pass on the g49
Not to totally change the subject, but... If one has both a Springfield XDM Elite Compact in 45acp & the full sized XDM Elite in 10mm one really has 4 different possible combinations: the 45acp with a 3.8" barrel with the compact & full sized frame and the 10mm with a 4.5" barrel with both options, full sized & compact. As long as one keeps the correct magazines (and you would need at least a short one in 10mm and a long one in 45acp) with the slides the comparison to the two Glocks reviewed is almost identical with two calibers available!
How about you switch the slides and frames to be like the 19 short slide on the 19 frame and put the 17 slide on the 17 frame . Just want to see if it can be done.
Glock 45: less accurate, less velocity, more recoil, more muzzle blast, more printing, more rubbing against your pack, grip length not necessary for 99% of people's hands. Glock 49: more accurate, more velocity, less recoil, less blast, conceals better, doesn't interact with your backpack or car seat, grip length enough for 99% of people to get all 4 fingers firmly on the grip. Glock 49 is superior in every way.
up until I bought my 43X & S15 mags I would carry my 26 with the 19 mag that I added the X Grip too. plan to carry my 27 with a 23 mag and X Grip this winter in place of my 9MM's
Ive got a glock 45 i got on a reslly good deal, kinda wish i knew about the glock 49, mabey i would of held out. Ive owned, shot and carried glock 19s and a glock 23 for about 13 or 14 years, think id really enjoy that longer slide with a grip so familiar to my wife and I, plus we already have so many mags for them. Id love to see a glock with a 19 grip and 34 slide.
if I'm correct the custom backstrap i casted is for the 45. I don't have real pews.I just know it's popular.Even in the AirPew World Glock is Popular and Umarex makes some cool replicas of it.
I have the Glock 45 & 49. I bought both since I can switch the slides and have either a 17 or 19 size Glock. I have the 17 & 19 in the Gen 3, but I think I like the 5th gen a little better. If I was stating with Glock, the 45 & 49 would be the best 2 to start with, IMO. But it is hard to beat the 26 or 43x for CCW.
I started with the 43x, then went to the g45. I'm thinking I'll try a 10mm next.. either the g29 gen5 or the g20 gen5 (probably g20). but the 49 would be interesting too.
you are correct. only difference between a 19X and a 45 is first off, the color. the other differences are that the 19X comes with night sights directly from Glock, has maritime spring cups installed, the lanyard loop, flared mag well, & I believe the mags had the Glock factory +2 extensions installed.
I Like the longest grip. I feel Like I have a better control with the Long gip. I'm lucky to love in a open carry state so the imprint isn't a issue for me.
Have both pistols. The 49 is amazing. Rotate both as bedside pistols with Arco P2 and TLR-1HL. I was also told the 45 slide on 49 frame = Glock 19 and then 49 slide on 45 frame is the Glock 17

One of the best man enjoy it! They are just as good as the 19 or 17!
I'm of the same opinion, I like my 45 better than my 19
The 19 grip with 17 slide sounds very nice
Many times, I play these videos while not looking at them, just to hear the sweet melodies of steel ringing upon bang sounds. 😊
I've always loved the simple logic of Glock model numbers, where the square root of the model number gives the grip length, the cube root gives the slide length, and the natural log gives the caliber. (heh - not really - the only Glock I know is mine: the 41 in .45 ACP)
Bro you had me for a second 💀💀
Gloves 36 is what the 45 should’ve been called
Natural log 🤣🤣🤣
Lol I love this. Though in actuality, the model numbers are based on the number of patents that Gaston Glock had.
45 been dead as a caliber for a long time. why carry a larger gun less ammo and it cost more... do you i guess just dont make sense..

Longer G49 slide offers a little more increase in bullet velocity, too.

Your review on a Glock 46 would be very interesting.
I agree with Mr. Hickok45. G49 is better.
Best channel ever
I lean towards the Glock 45 for its versatility and ergonomic design. It just feels like an extension of my hand when I'm shooting.
Had the 45 since Covid my favorite gun of all time.
Gun stores were crazy right at the beginning of Covid
Really appreciate ya saying what you thought was best.
Got the Glock 49 as my first gun and I love it so far shoots good, and I love how it looks
Just bought a g49 with a apex trigger, rival barrel. And a Sig 320x compact today at the gun show. 😊
I never could convince myself the shorted grip felt better. I wanted to like the G19 more, but I just shoot and hold the G45 much better.
I took my 23 slide and put it on the Glock 45 frame. I now have a Glock 23X. Eat your heart out Hickok45.
Did you change out the ejector? Or have you noticed any reliability issues?
Own both. Prefer the 49 for sure.
Why do you prefer the 49? Will the gen4 mags (19&17) work in a 49? Thanks.
I love my G45 and look forward to getting the G47. My hands are a tad too big for the grip of the G19 and G49
the 45 is the best gun ever from glock

From the first day the G45 was released, I've waited for the .40 caliber in that size..No luck.
Ever consider shooting the G45 without the backstrap ? I removed mine and it made a huge difference . Love your content . Thank you
Love your videos, from Liverpool UK 👊👊
Haven’t seen the 49 yet. My edc is a 45. It’s almost perfect for conceal carry. There’s a bit of printing for me, not too bad though.
Appreciate the comparison. Thank you!!
Been a fan since before Hickok had a Upula

I've said it on every post I've saw about the G49... That it will be the Next greatest GLOCK 2nd to the G19 IMO
I never cared for the 17 size grip so the 19 size is biggest I go . I actually prefer the 26 frame with flush mags over all frames.
45 my new EDC! Great size and capacity combo for me
@-hickok455 yup I find it to be the most comfortable for my beefy hands
When do you have a personal defense situation where your gun is hot? The first shot is the most important shot no matter what

Wasn't the 19x a 17 frame and 19 slide? So the 45 is a black 19x?
you are correct. only difference between a 19X and a 45 is first off, the color. the other differences are that the 19X comes with night sights directly from Glock, has maritime spring cups installed, the lanyard loop, flared mag well, & I believe the mags had the Glock factory +2 extensions installed.

Will the Glock 50 be a 26 frame with a 17L slide?
