G17 is my favorite Glock. It is phenomenal in every single category. Capacity, looks, compatibility and RELIABILITY. The damn thing eats all ammo. Brass case, aluminum case, steel case, hollow points, fmj, 115gr, 124gr, 147gr, etc. When you insert a loaded mag, you know it is going to run no matter what. And that is why I will always choose Glock

Absolutely correct.

I actually always thought glocks were the best looking pistols. Wierd you saying people think theyre ugly
I think they are awesome in every way. But when I take groups shooting I’ve heard a few negatives about the looks🙄
i was going to say the same thing,never heard his opinion before,they were known as terrorist gun right away when they came out,i remember when our police got them....lot`s of self shootings with policeman because they needed a old fashioned safty...we had a good laugh..
They are ugly as sin
I agree. I remember the first time I saw one when I was a young kid. Was in a James Bond game and I remember thinking it was the coolest looking most futuristic/modern gun I've ever seen.
Sitting in CA watching his high capacity mag or him speaking so cavalierly about CCW makes me sad, envious, questioning my existence.
Least attractive? that’s why I bought my 17 cause of the smooth look, your crazy lol
Yeah. I know I’m crazy. But looks are subjective. At first I thought the ak47 and the Glock were two of the ugliest firearms on the planet. Some people just think that way. Now I think they both look awesome. When a product is so good it sets the standard in its category it also sets the standard for beauty as well. Form follows function🤔
That's why I bought the 19 years ago.
frankie90020 knock it off. That weapon is disgusting looking.
It’s ugly. S&W a lot cooler look. Both work great.
@@cmltoe100 I would never own a S&W. Ever.

It’s perfect , it’s easy . And it’s reliable . I’m probably gonna get another one in gray or something
Excellent. My two go to guns for most of my 40 plus long working life, most of it armed. First Glock (17) was in 1993. Purchased a G26 in 1997. I've never looked back. I'm 61 (soon 62) now and still working and still relying on my Glocks for that warm comforted feeling.
They just work
Thanks for the safety check. The last ass hole almost blew a hole through my phone.

Glocks just look normal.The sides are so flat and smooth.
Iove the design.
Yes. If you’ve grown up seeing them in movies and stuff like that it’s the way a gun should look. But if you grew up a little earlier when revolvers and 1911’s were what guns looked like then it’s just simple. Maybe too simple for some.
But I like it too. Not at first but I sure do now.

I rock a gen 3. I like how big it is. Really easy to shoot and trustworthy.
I shot my first Glock in 1984 on a exercise with the Norwegian Army. They had adopted the G17 just prior. I did not like the G17 at all. Fast forward to 1990 I was talked into a G19 purchase and the rest is history. Took awhile for me to get confident with it. I carry it everyday. I’ve owned many HKs, SIGs etc.... still stick with the G19 for it’s simplicity and durability. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for sharing your story.
I didn’t really take to Glock at first either but the design won me over.
Personally, my favorite semi-automatic handgun is the Glock 17 gen 5
The Gen 4 G17 was the first gun I bought. Not one single regret.
Sammy Sampson just bought a Glock 17 Gen 4 yesterday. I pick it up next Thursday due to the 7 day waiting period here in RI
Same. Only regret i had is i didnt purchase one sooner!!
I have a gen 4 and a gen 5 the gen 4 is by far my favorite

@@elementa.u.official8366 Same lol
I'll give you 300 for the old one.. ok ok 450 you are twisting my arm here... 500
Personally I have always found the simple look of the glock to be very appealing
I really like Glock pistols for the main reason that they don't have an external safety lever/switch. When a situation is so critical and stressful it is very possible that you might forget to disengage the external safety and the pistol won't go bang when needs to or re-engage the safety after the threat is gone. Glock makes it simple and all forms of safety: drop safe, firing pin block, trigger pull are all controlled by your trigger finger and you don't have to think about it or forget something. That alone is a lifesaving feature everybody should appreciate.
One of the big pluses for me regarding the Glock.
On the downside it makes them less safe. One of the most common pistols for negligent self inflicted shootings.
Well put!!
@@berettaxd7566 yes because it's the most common pistol by far. No different than a double action revolver.
Excellent review! I’ve had my Gen 2 with a Hogue grip for 30 years, you were spot on about all the points you made about all versions of the 9mm that you covered.
What I don't understand is why some producers here who look over guns get ad's, yet it seems the majority are stripped of ad's. I'm starting to think there are white and black lists of producers these days. Really nothing else can explain it. Anyway the gum makes some nice sounds as it's played with
I think you are on the right track. It seems indiscriminate but at the end of the day I feel it’s just a matter of an enormous volume of content and a limited amount of manpower to sift through it and some get hammered because they were discovered and some are left alone because they flew under the radar. I also think they have some secret algorithms which help them find objectionable content and they may make decisions based on those algorithms without bothering to take the time to do their research.
@@MaxHeadspace9mm Yes max you can't say enough when it comes to a glock. actually you like it or not there is no way in between I still own my first glock The Glock 17 Gen one from 1983. I think over 50,000 shots have been fired with it in 37 years, and Never had a jam, as a gun enthusiast I don't like the glock zeken, but glock don't make weapons to be beautiful. but at 1000% good functioning of it, and that you can trust your life on it. and I do that blindly. PS I've only had a Glock 17 Gen 3 for 2 years now, and I think it is actually more beautiful than a gen 4 or 5. Yes I say. Have a Glock and Smile. i have a glock with me 24/7 i am a white south african. and I'm not sure of my life but my friend glock I can rely on if I should need him when the time comes
Seems that there is inappropriate as well as “inappropriate” in the minds of the UA-cam collective. 🤔

My problem is I can’t seem to keep myself from building these things! I’m on my 6th Glock 17 build and it just gets more and more exciting!
So many possibilities.
@@MaxHeadspace9mm Max well you say this
those thoughts had never crossed my mind, yes now that you say that. a Glock certainly has the ability to exchange parts of its own brand, and there is also plenty of aftermarket stuff for sale. and even other weapon manufacturers, make sure their weapon can be fed by a glock bullet magazine, and even a mini laser from China AliExpress fits a glock. Wowwww max when I think about this, the possibilities are unlimited. what other weapon brand have that.
G17 is the best defensive handgun in the world. Been carrying one since 2001 starting with Gen 2 through 5. It’s never failed me.
What is your favorite gen so far?
Called me out perfectly...I hated Glocks (was a Sig man), now I love them. I love them for their tactical utility...reliable, accurate, durable, easy controls. To that end, I love now the way they look!

Super helpful for me as a first time buyer. I just put a deposit down on a G17 9mm, and i'm very safety orientated so i'll be drilling myself on safety procedures, field strip etc, until i can do everything via muscle memory with my eyes shut. Thank you for making such a clear and easy to understand video.
I own a gen4 g17 and I love it I have small hands and never had a problem with the grip size or angle or finger grooves from the first time I held it it just felt comfortable and natural to me I also have ruger and m&p and go from one gun to another at the range with no problem at all. I will definitely be getting more glocks gen4 g23 will be my next purchase
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Glock is adorably gorgeous. She’s long and lean and most every professional shooter’s dream-Glock carrier from the beginning.
I can tell you are devoted to your brand!
I am too but it took time for me. I’m guessing I’m a little bit older and cool for my generation involved either revolvers or a hammer on an all steel gun. It’s just natural that before video games and movies made this iconic look famous it was a very different looking design to those who saw it from its inception.
Professional shooters dream??.?
@@brc1945 ....one who shoots in competitions, for sporting purposes only, or a soldier who uses in the course of a deployment, or anyone who loves to hang out at the range. I was quoting someone else.
Very nice video! It's interesting. For me it was the look of the Glock 17 that first caught my interest. The clean design speaks to me. While I certainly can appreciate the beauty in a shiny 1911, the Glock actually looks "better" in my eyes. I love airplanes as well. Perhaps I just appreciate clean lines with no unnecessary protrutions?
Just picked up a 3rd gen G17 couple days ago and I have to say the biggest thing that made me switch from a .45 caliber 1911 to a Glock 17 was the fact that using just the rear sight and my belt I can chamber it if my left hand is occupied/disabled
I love this gun. Excellent information, great job!

It’s a very popular pistol for good reason and for a first gun I can’t think of a better choice. Just remember there is no safety so either keep it chamber empty till you need it or keep it holstered with the trigger covered and it will be a great gun for you.
The 26 has a lot of uses............and could use 19 and 17 mags , plus more !!
I did a video on my channel called, “Glock 26- The Ultimate Carry Pistol”. It is my constant companion and once you get used to the short grip (which for most people takes very little practice) it shoots just as well as any of the larger 9mm double stacks.
It’s the go anywhere, do anything handgun.

I think Glocks are really cool guns. My buddy has all the calipers. Great choice of a pistol. And great video.
Awesome video and details, I've concealed carried for quite some time now and I just recently got a Gen3 Glock 20SF. I'm 6'3" 265 and I carry a PPQ 45 and I'm looking forward to carrying this one too. It's my first Glock and I really like it.........take care and be safe out there. 🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾
I'm a complete novice and the majority of my knowledge on guns comes from a smattering of youtube videos, just applied for my CW license. I chose glock because it's popular for CC, but really because to me its one of the few truly "futuristic" looking guns that is aesthetically pleasing, which I know is ironic considering it was first developed in the 80's but I can't shake the feeling that I'm holding some piece of space age tech in my hands. Don't get why so many rag on its appearance.
I transitioned from a Beretta 96D to a Glock 22 Gen 3, so Glock "thickness" was never an issue.
I think the Glock 17 is more easier to manage.
By the size of the grip.
I agree. I can manage a 19 or even a 26 just fine but a full grip is best. And a Hogue rubber grip cover makes it the best feeling grip ever.
One of the best firearms in the world.
I am very familiar with firearms, and have multiple. However since moving away from home and about 5 years post that, this is the first firearm I have purchased since leaving and haven't left there. I'm very picky and precise with what I choose, which makes me appreciate how much you pay attention to your Glock / firearms. VERY fantastic information for the new owner and everyone overall. Almost to the word how I felt before I bought mine. I used to hate them, now I believe it's a fantastic choice for everyone. Great to see Sir.
Thanks very much!😉
I have a gen3 17 and no regrets at all.
Excellent info! Clear speaking! Thank you!
flyshacker
Thanks for the kind words 😉
Great review on the Gen 3 17- but i loved the way you sequed into the G26 as the best pistol, if you only had to have one. Great job and you convinced me. Thank you
It all boils down to weight, brotherman. The Glock functions at or higher than the level of the wondernine class (Berettas, Sigs, etc), but it weighs significantly less and that is CRUCIAL when you have to haul it all day every day. Even the Glock 21 is far lighter than most .45's and metal 9mm's, and has 13+1 to boot. Fantastic handguns
True that!
Once I bought my first Glock, I never looked back. I call it the Ultimate Combat & Self Defense weapon. It's simple to shoot with practice and training, simple & quick to take down and clean and it has been the most reliable firearm I have ever owned. I now am retired and my EDC is a Glock43, which I call my Old Man Gun and at 76 years old this has become my favorite self defense weapon. Although I must admit at times I do carry my Ruger LCP II in my Pocket holster and this has been my most reliable .380 for deep concealment!
I’ve considered getting one of those LCP ll’s for some time. Impressive little pistol.
Max Headspace9mm for me it was love at first shot with the lcp2 I was dead on target!

I'm new to this entire gun thing and I didn't know that people thought Glock is ugly. I loved this Beauty at first sight.
That’s probably because you as well as most newer gun buyers are used to seeing Glocks in movies, tv and video games. It’s now the standard of awesomeness in handguns. But when they first came out that standard was 1911’s, Beretta’s and revolvers. Compared to those guns the Glock looked pretty plain.
I agree. Now I love the simple, no nonsense design of the Glock. It has grown in me. But it took time.
@@MaxHeadspace9mm Makes sense. Yeah this could be a reason

@@MaxHeadspace9mm yeah man its amazing now I dont know what it is about it. But I am more accurate with the 30sf than the 26.

Glocks are the best
For what’s important and for what it’s worth, I agree!
I love glocks and it's because of the simplicity. As you say I don't want a safety to contend with because that split second might be the difference between life and death. I like the KISS (keep it simple stupid) mentality and that especially holds true for the firearm which God forbid I might be trusting my life with. I'll never forget back in 94 first seeing glocks and hearing all this silly plastic gun metal detector shooting underwater stuff and seeing that tupperware box and dad and I would chuckle about them and all the rumors around them. Fast forward to 2005 and I got my first glock model 27 and man I was in love especially after 3,000 rds put through her without a single hiccup. Simplicity is perfection or as close as you can get to it.
Agree 100%!
There are certainly guns that can do more than a Glock but a Glock does exactly what you need and no more. And that simplicity makes it light, durable, reliable and easy to live with over time. That’s why there are so many imitators. But even after 30+ years none of them have actually surpassed Glock.
I thought it was "KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE"

Glock17 GOAT
Got a G17 Gen 5 for my first pistol a few months ago and I can't get enough of it
In the “gun culture” when a “firearms enthusiast” rattles on while at the sales counter no one cares what he has to say. It’s normally ridiculous nonsense!
Many stores and police departments have a grip display that allows a person to see which Glock handgun fits their hand in order to help in considering a purchase or to aid in issuing a firearm. Some police agencies issue handguns by fit also which is probably a good idea.
Some stores/ranges have firearms available to test fire. People may want a particular firearm for whatever reason but that company/manufacturer may not make a model that adequately fits their hand. So it may be unpleasant to shoot and they’re not very accurate with it and they will blame the firearm.
Especially years ago when people were making the transition from revolvers to semi-autos. Woo that was a dangerous time.
I belong to a large club and members will allow other members to test their firearms if they are interested.
As in any potentially dangerous hobby new enthusiasts should take their time in selecting a firearm and other equipment ie: quality ear and eye protection.
Training, training and more training is very important also. There is allot to learn and it takes time to become proficient.
Finally, Glock firearms is a great place to start. More than likely Glock makes a firearm that will fit your hand, man or women and their firearms are very reliable.
Apk Darter
Well said🤔
As a new firearms owner, I took a self defense class where the instructor brought his firearms for us to shoot after the fact. I really liked the g17 over the 19 because of the grip space. I also went to the range and rented a few other pistols and reconfirmed I really liked the g17. I'm in California so CCWs are next to impossible to get, so concealing the firearm wasn't too big of a factor in my decision.

PS 25 Hi! Hey with much respect to your service, I’m now getting a glock
, live in Maryland. So which of the two, if choosing between a G 17 and G19 wold you recommend if it is “ your only pistol”?
Glock's are often used in action movies, such as Die Hard, and Jason Bourne. If you know, and recognize the look of one, you know what a Glock is, then I feel you're more to like it. I think Glock's are pretty cool. I do agree, they aren't the best looking pistol. But that's only because other gun have more complicated designs, and it all depends on the attachments you put on them. HOWEVER Glock's are still bomb as fuck.

Perfection with those two guns- reliability, interchangeability, concealibity the whole enchilada
I always hated glocks. I now have a gen 3 17. I was so mad at myself the first time I ever shot a glock and said to myself "son of a bitch" because I loved how it felt when I shot it.
My recommendation is the 19 it's the best of both worlds to me.
And you share that opinion with most Glock 9mm owners. I got a gen1 Glock 17 first and then as a backup/ concealed carry gun got the 26. I’ve never had a 19 but I can see the appeal.
actually the 45 would be the best of both worlds lol

I really like the looks of that gun. And it’s practical.
Idk.... Ugly? Sweet looking? It really doesn't come down to looks. Performance, reliability, simplicity, and a gun that plays well with "EVERYTHING" seems to be more of a highlight to me then just looks. Mine has performed flawlessly, eats everything, and is extremely reliable. Even I have been one to say Glock should step it up like Sig. Sig is literally trying to wipe Glock from the planet from firearms, to ammo, optics and so on. One thing that stays true, Glock isn't broke, so I guess that's why they don't fix it. It holds it's reputation from the early 80's till today. Yes I've had other firearms, but I can't say enough about the Glock and it's performance over the years. Gen 5- 35 parts. It's simplicity is it's strength that can't be beat.
Maybe the best duty gun ever made.

Yeah. It’s been moving that direction for some time. I’m not sure why but there are so many things being done right now to develop the 9mm cartridge- hollow points with expansion similar to that of 45.

Same! Love this pistol!
Logan Schuh how’d you buy it if you’re 19? Private sale?
Love my G17, but my G26 is the Bomb. The 26 is the Swiss Army Knife of guns. No need for a G19 if you own a 26 and a 17.
I 100% agree with you. I suppose if you could only have one the 19 would be a good compromise but if I could only have one it would still be the 26
I have never liked Glocks. They're ugly, uncomfortable, odd grip angle, etc. I made it almost 30 years without drinking the cool aid but then I bought a 9mm barrel for an ar15. If course I got one that uses colt mags because I didn't own any glocks. Well, I like the the 9mm ar now so why carry different mags for your pistol as you do for your carbine? Well now I have a Glock mag AR15, a glock 17 and now I'm looking for a glock 26. I still don't like them though.
Update. I now have a 26 and a 19. I got an amazing deal on them, had to do it. I still hate these loathsome things. Anyone have an aftermarket trigger for sale? Lol.
Another update. Purchased a g40. Sweet.

Haha! Well it’s a start. They have a way of worming their way into your heart with their reliability and ease of use.
I just got into the whole 9mm ar thing as well and I really love that. Got a Foxtrot Mike and it’s been 100% for me.
You are very stupid.Glock is the best!!!!
@@valeridimitrov289 no, that would be HK. If glock is the best why do so many people spend so much money replacing everything? There is a huge aftermarket industry for upgraded glock parts. They are not the worst but they are definitely not the best. The reason they are so popular is because they were the first company to carborize plastic, making the plastic guns a viable option. Secondly they got into the police department's and cornered that market because of their "safe" trigger and the reality that most cops aren't gun guys. Never mind how unsafe they were and how many law suits have been brought against them
@@sweet65mustang "If Glock is the best why do so many people spend so much money replacing everything?"
Because the fantasy is more important than the reality to most (99%) men. The only thing aftermarket on my G17 & G22 are the sights & there is absolutely no reason what so ever to replace any of the other factory parts with aftermarket. If it's a range toy then customize to your hearts content, paint it pink & glue fur on it. I don't care. For carry? I doubt a jury would consider the owner of a highly customized carry pistol, with lot's of flashy high dollar parts, to be the most reluctant (last resort, I had no other choice) defensive shooter. Keep your carry gun(s) stock & your carry ammo factory loaded major brand. (Like Federal, Remington, Winchester, Speer etc.) Never "boutique" ammo like the "fully machined kill 'em dead super slicer buzz saw hollow points" that sell for $20 per 5 pack.
@@renaissanceman7145I gave you a thumb's up based on your descriptions alone. I agree with you for the most part. The only thing i've changed are sights, polished the stock trigger and added a silencerco threaded barrel for the can. But my furry pink H&K USP is still the king and the gun I would stake my life on if it came down to it. Lol
Everything in this video is so true. If every gun owner watched this I bet you could convince them to buy at least one Glock. I too have the 26 and in the process of getting a 17 both gen 5
Gun choice is so personal. I’ve heard most often a new gun buyer making their choice based on looks or feel in the hand. But living with that choice long term is a different matter. And looks are subjective and even become unimportant at some point. Even the matter of feel in the hand is subjective because comfort is based on comparisons with other guns.
But the factors that stay with you long term are reliability, ease of use, simplicity and familiarity. And a simple gun like a Glock just rises to the occasion.
& that “ mostly plastic “ shit is Bs! most the weight in a Glock is in the METAL slide . Take down a Glock and hold the frame by itself you’ll understand just how little weight comes from the plastic
Max didn't say the lower receiver is heavier than the metal parts. He said........the Glock 17 is mostly plastic, and he's absolutely correct. Your ignorance is pathetic. Period !!!
That gen 1 is an absolute beauty. Hoping to get my hands on one someday. More than content with my Gen 3 though.
They appear every now and then. I’ve seen 3 since I got mine. Got one for my brother.
Agree with all your comments. Good video.
Thank you😉
Glocks are far from ugly. There simple classy and say “ gun”

You can get your own Glock from *Rollmm* I got my 17 from him two weeks ago
Thanks! Great video with everything I needed to know! For too long, I have felt like an outsider with my friends and family who are all gun experts. But those days are over and now I have become a proud member of the gun community. Thus, I have completed the final phase of joining the LGBT (Liberty, Guns, Beer, Trump) community. Great day!

its not a ugly gun its a simple gun and easy to use
Yes. I agree with you. But compared to some others many people complain to me that they seem plain. I ask them ,”do you want it to work or do you want it for looks?”
My buddy bought a .44 magnum for his EDC, i told him that was the dumbest thing id ever heard...
He is now facing brandishing charges.
Don't buy for show, buy for function.
Fip Dibwibbler
Oops!!!😳. That’s a hard way to learn a lesson. Sorry for your friend. But good advice.
How did he get a brandishing charge?
@@notahandle965 in some states even printing gets you in trouble. A 44 mag is a big gun and hard to keep conceled

I have G17 but wish I'd purchased G19 instead as my hands are small. I acknowledge n appreciate the reliability of Glocks but don't love it bc it's definitely ugly guns
Maybe it's time to buy a Glock. I have 2 Smith and Wesson M&P' s and I love them. But I really like the gen 5 glock 17.
Zachary Garn
I can only speak from my own personal experience but once you get used to Glock perfection you never go back. I’ve never met anyone who, after putting 1,000 rounds through a Glock, has decided it’s a bad gun. Usually it’s quite the opposite. The more you shoot it, the more you like it.
Max Headspace9mm I'm loving these reviews and I am really enjoying your Channel. Thank you for taking the time.
Zachary Garn
Glad to pass along what I know. Thanks for watching.
I love my M&P’s as well, also love my Glock 22 gen.4
Glock is great I love my smith and wesson, but glock does the same and better
The best family home protection never fails bro
I might the only new gun owner who loved Glock from the jump😂 I didn’t look at anything else when I went to academy. Seen the Glock 17, held it , and bought it. That was back in June, love it and won’t buy any other handgun but Glock
Excellent video he really explains every detail of the clock 17 and the Glock 26 both great guns the Glock 17 Gen 3 my opinion and police department said it's the best car out there if you could find one buy it I don't care too much for the New Gen 5 they did away with finger grooves and a couple little other things it's probably still a good gun but it's a little bit more money you have to use your own judgment whatever is the best deal by it 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍
