  • Before I start, I am just going to say a little disclaimer. Making this video doesn't mean that Glock pistols suck. Those who say that simply don't know what they are saying about. Until now, Glock guns remain a go-to choice for many shooters, and they are actually great picks for a number of uses or occasions.
    Glock guns have been around for so long that many are obsessed with overthrowing them on their throne. And I think that's the driving reason that compels many shooters to look for alternatives. Nonetheless, Glock guns are spectacular, especially when we are talking about reliability.

      How so? Being prettier? Maybe having a bell or whistle? It's effectively impossible to be *more* reliable, or *more* durable. Some could argue ergonomics, but that's honestly based on the individual. Personally I'm fine with Glock ergonomics. But seriously, what other $500-600 gun is out there that has *better* reliability, *better* durability, and equal or better aftermarket support?
      You might have a few *equals* in that price range, but they'll likely be debatable at best. All that being said....I'm a 1911 guy at heart. Still love my Glock 19 though 🤷‍♂️

You been around the block. Gen 5 seen to get smiles on the barrel after the first 100 rounds. Let me put it this way. In my opinion the finish is garbage. Also this marksman barrel no matter what I use to clean the bore the copper seems to stay in the rifling. Just as you 17 19 26 27 29 30 42 48 are my lotto numbers. 29 edc.

      Glocks are excellent for duty guns and in the field bc you just know they're always at the ready. There's only 2 real conditions with Glocks, chambered and unchambered. But I like having the option of having a safety [other than my trigger finger - Black Hawk Down] for several reasons. But just having a gun in general is the most important option to me.
      Oh ya, and CZ is a very long well known brand for reliability. I think its the go-to gun in European area.

For me, Glocks and really any pistol that fires every time you pull the trigger, hits what you are aiming at, and feels good to you are good weapons IMHO. I don’t own a Glock, but I know they are the AK47 of pistols, but I bet there are many other brands that can withstand the abuse that Glovks are known for.

    I have a Gen 2 Glock I bought used. It still shoots. Granted I had to change all the springs in the gun and the mags to get it to run reliably but it does now. The beat compliment I can give it is it is AKM simple. You can rip it apart and fix things yourself. It runs great for a gun that was made in June of 89. The human engineering? Meh. Crappy stock trigger, feels like a brick, weird grip angle. So many other guns feel, point and shoot better out of the box. Gaston was first to the market. I give him his due, bit if we are being honest, he and his daughter stopped truly innovating a lot time ago. They got lapped. A Glock isn't leading the pack anymore. Vp9, Echelon, PDP, P-10c, etc, etc, etc.

Great guns for the price and good quality to boot.

      I'll call BS here. If you'd "tried them" you'd not be saying that. Especially with the Echelon and Shadow 2 Compact. I have 14 Glocks and I like them, they've been good reliable guns, but the Glock is no longer the "perfection" that they once were and the multi million dollar upgrade market for that one single brand proves it. Why spend all of that money on a Glock and then hundreds more just to get a half way decent trigger and sights that are still not as good as what's on these guns listed here from the factory? Glock's quality control and reliability are no longer what the once were. Their 5.5lb triggers are not a reality anymore, they very more between 6.0 and 9lbs. Not one Glock even compares to the guns on this list. The SA Echelon and the FN 509 CC Edge are so much better than the Glock in every single category, especially when used for duty use. The Taurus crushes the 43x with a better trigger, ergonomics, and mag capacity. The X-Macro is smaller, shoots better, and holds more rounds than the G19. Then, you really can't even bring the CZ Shadow 2 Compact into a "vs Glock" discussion, it's so much more in a completely different class than the Glock because it is that so much better that they're not in the same league.

      @@hawkgeoff That's not just my opinion, why not check the Internet, it's pretty much any one who reviews firearms opinion also. I don't know a single person who's shot the Echelon or the Shadow 2 that wouldn't take one immediately over the Glock. The Glock is an old design and there are so many guns that are just better in every way. I also never said that I personally modified my firearms. What I said is that there are 1000s of aftermarket Glock parts companies out there, but not so much for the other brands. Why is that? If the Glock is so good then explain. Glock WAS an awesome firearm in it's day but unfortunately they've been stuck with the same design and mindset for decades and times have passed them by. Just look at the half assed back strap system they have, the shitty MOS, and it only took them 30 years and millions bitching to finally get ambidextrous controls. Maybe now that Gadsden Glock has passed they'll actually bring the Glock into this timeframe rather than be stuck in the 80s like they have been. Again, I have 14 Glocks, as well as 4 of the guns on this list, so I'm not anti Glock at all but when Palmetto State is making their own version of the Glock and the overall reviews say the PSA. is a better gun, at a 40% cheaper price point? Then there's an issue Glock really needs to address. I hope they do.

    Have had multiple friends who loved the idea of a CZ Shadow until they purchased it and for no reason had multiple malfunctions. I do love Taurus despite popular belief; however, the reputation of Tarus v Glock, there is NO comparison. Sig? Put sig in the same category as Taurus because they have had their fair share of models blowing up in shooters hands or firing without touching the trigger. Springfield will always be overrated. FN will always be over priced and overrated. I would change this to "Guns that have more features than Glock." What matters most is reliability and not one of the vendors you mentioned have a platform to speak on for reliability. That is all

So, even though I like, enjoy, and respect all of the pistols that I own, I only carry Glock pistols! After numerous tests and field tests I have never felt safer trusting my life to anything other than a Glock. I will shoot them but I will only carry Glock pistols with factory Glock magazines.

    No unreliable platform has anything to compare to. Not from the outset. That's why reliability is not a criterion for comparison. Glock's strengths are lightweight, grip angle, contour without edges. Glock's weaknesses are the trigger and standard sights. That's it. A CZ Shadow 2 is not an EDC pistol. It is short, angular, thick platform. A shadow 2 is a sports purpose gun. To make it smaller and lighter doesnt make it EDC. What is relevant for EDC is not length, but thickness. Any format up to G17 can be easily worn if it is light and flat enough. Glocks are good to hoster due to its flat cornerless shape.

      I think this an AI generated video. The P365 has had a number of issues. Light primer strikes. Mags that do not hold their full round count. Even SIG says not to top off the gun. Search UA-cam or ask some of the specialized training instructors. The earlier P365’s had rust issues. I own a Shadow 2. My only issues are getting a good grip on the smallish slide everything else is excellent. I am also trying out a new Bul Armory AXE Clever. I reserve judgement on the GX4. I have a friend in Israel that owns one. He spent many years with the IDF. He knows which end is up.
      Anybody recognize which voice generator was used for this video? The video clips look like scrapes from across the internet and UA-cam. I could be wrong. Ted, why not put out a video introducing yourself. I would love to be proven wrong.

      The P365 is one of the best selling and most popular pistols on the market and has been since it came out. Just like how people compare guns to Glocks, micro 9's are compared to the P365.

    The Sig is...eh, maybe marginally more feature rich, but i dont see anything "better". I'll allow "equal to". And the other three cost nearly double so...they *should* be "better".
    But ultimately, with a Glock you spend $500ish, and get world class reliability, massive aftermarket support, and a stupid simple platform that is excellent for everyone from beginner to expert. I dont care what widgets you can slap on a Taurus POS, you're never going to convince a Navy SEAL or an FBI hostage rescue team member to field one. Why? Cuz it aint better.
