It's funny to see everyone hating on the 47 like they did the 19x/45 when it 1st released. Saying it's impractical/ pointless etc. But now the 45/19x is loved and arguably the best Glock in some people's opinions. So maybe the 47 hate train will leave the station one day like it did for the 19x/45. To me it's just another Glock that I have to buy now, thanks a lot Gaston.
I think the 47 is the evolution of the 17. If you are in the market for a full size 9mm Glock, I would recommend the 47. Would I say it is so amazing I would replace the 19, 45, or even and older 17? Nah, but I really enjoy this pistol and look forward to making more videos for viewers like yourself.
No worries mate. Ken Hackathorn had a similar issue with getting slide bite from a Glock 19, which is why he praised the Grip Force Adapters before the Gen 4 Glocks came with the MBS.
@@BigTimberLodge Taking them out and shooting them in the various configs over the weekend. I am digging the G45/G19L swap though, curious to see how the 19L shoots. I also was planning to grab the Holosun SCS, great optic option for Glocks.
@RT1 keep me posted on your venture. I'm going to throw the SCS on mine as well after the next payday. I posted a video of the accuracy of the 47, and I was not disappointed.
@@BigTimberLodge took my g47 in gray to the range 20 minutes after buying. I loved it. And im a smaller dude, 5'7 135lbs. Groupings at 5/10/15 yards practically remained the same.

I mean it's cool and all but what I would really like to see is a glock 26x. I know the G26 purists would say a longer handle defeats the purpose, harder to conceal etc but I never had trouble concealing a g19 and the slide on the 26 is shorter and for me having a full size grip with the g26 slide would be perfect. I know I can't possibly be the only one that would want a g26 especially since my whole platform is double stack. I currently shoot the g26 with xgrips and with the "hump" on the g26 frame and the xgrips on a g19mag on it, the 26 shoots and feels better to me even moreso than the g19.
@@BigTimberLodge i'm actually a smaller guy (5'8, 165lbs) i think for me the larger handle shorter slide combination is perfect probably why I like the g45 so much. By the way i'm a big fan of HK's too. Probably one of the most underrated pistols out there and the original makers of the polymer pistol!
I'm considering a 47, but I'm wondering if the 47 won't end up being a "lesser" version of the 17. In other words, will it not shoot as well and accurate as a 17 with the shorter/stiffer recoil spring? I don't know that this will be the case but it's my only hesitancy in purchasing a 47. I'd rather have a 17 MOS but they don't seem to be available for some reason.
If possible can you explain how this 47 is better than the 17? What are the benefits if any does the 47 actually have over the 17. Thank you for posting this video very informative and thanks for sharing!!!
The only way I could say that the 47 is better than a Gen 5 17 MOS, is the fact that if you own a 19 you can swap out parts and have 4 guns instead of 2. The only real difference is going to be the recoil spring is shorter in the 47 than the 17. I don't have the equipment to test my theory, but I would think this would cause the 47 to be snappier with more felt recoil but have a faster fire rate.
I think the 47 is the evolution of the 17. If you already have the 19 and if you buy the 47 you will essentially have 4 different guns. The 47 shot very well for me, as far as accuracy and the trigger feel. To be honest though I don't know how much better it is going to be than your 19MOS. I have another video where I show the accuracy of the 47 with 5 different types of ammo.
At this time I am trying to buy a g17 MOS gen5. There aren't any at all to be found. I think Glock is now only offering the 47. This pistol would only be worth it if I also had a G19 which I don't. I really don't like the way that g17 slide looks on top of the small frame. I believe it weighs more than the G17 also. Must be a heavier slide. Don't know what I will get for my new 9mm. G17 MOS gen5 is what I really wanted. Glock seems to be pushing the 47 over G17 MOS as far as availability.
I have the 47 and I had used the red dots with the open omitters. Not good you'll need to find a closed optic. I disagree regarding the sights. Your sights stll need to be high quality iron sights in case the Red Dot goes down. IMO
They stopped doing that when inflation started effecting the supply chain, Glock has said that instead of raising the price per firearm, they would cut cost by only giving you the two with beaver tail since they are the most popular, and normally the other two just sit in the box, then inflation continued to get worse so they took away the plates, they can be purchased online and the pistol stays the same price and most people are fine with that. You can blame your president and their administration
I wish Glock would stop putting serial numbers in the side and barrels. Kills the idea of modularity. The real modularity is what SIG has done with the P320 and P365. SIG has been able to swap grips and slides since the beginning of the design.
Hope it works well for you. As far as Glocks go, I always shot the Glock 26 better than the full size and compacts. I've shot the Glock 21 gen 3 and Glock 26 gen 3 last year. I've also shot the glock 22 and glock 19 or 17 when I was younger and the Glock 26 shot the best groups for me. My favorite platform is the 1911 but Glock is a good handgun. I think we are in the golden age of firearms. We have so many options and we all should be thankful for that. Sorry for the long rant, just one question sir. Are you going to have a 1911 review maybe in the future? Just wondering. 🇺🇲👍🏻
Thank you for your input and thoughts. Always looking for good discussion on my channel. Agreed about the golden age of guns. We need to be careful because we are dangerously close to losing our gun rights. My friend just got a dandy of a Dan Wesson 1911. Might have to review it.
@@BigTimberLodge I agree, just unbelievable what it has come to. No one's freedoms should be trampled on. I look forward to more videos sir. Don't overdue it, I'm sure it takes a lot to edit these videos and upload them. Keep like minded close. 🇺🇲👍🏻
I understand that. It took me awhile to get used to shortened recoil rod/spring on the 47, but so far it has worked very well for me. I have shot the 17 and the 47, very tough to tell a difference between the two when shooting. However, the 47 is modular and can use other Glock pistol parts, whereas the 17 can't. To be honest though I have not tried out the modularity so the usefulness of that has not impacted my life, but having options is good.
Why is it every review I've seen on this gun, the reviewer has to stop, do a "double take" on what this is compatible with this? For that matter, which part is from which gun? 😅 Slide bite means you bought the wrong pistol in the first place.
Probably because this is new technology for Glock owners, and we're not 100% familiar with modular pistols. Also, I wasn't chubby when I bought the 43X, and I didn't get slide bite. Now that I'm bigger, I have a fatter hand and I get slide bite. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Eh, who cares? Someone said it’s like Glock reached onto a parts bin and built something and called it a new model. At least they’re making a G20 without finger grooves!🤷♂️
Well, Glock won a multi-million dollar contract with Border Patrol to make a modular pistol, and now we have the 47. Also, the 47 is the evolution of the 17.
@@BigTimberLodge became obsolete when the p365 came out. P365 holds 10rounds, thinner, lighter, comes with x-ray sights. 43x doesnt even matter. Its a single stack, better off with a hellcat, p365, shield pro and anyother gun like those. Even the hellcat pro and 365xl and such are far better. Glock doesnt know how to make a pistol anymore and they dont need to cause people who buy every glock will buy every glock on the market soon as it comes out cause its a glock
@@buffalobmf Not going to argue with you about the Glock fanboys. They are the rudest and most annoying firearm fanbase out there. I personally am a HK fanboy, but even then, I only buy a new HK if it is innovative or something I need. Not because HK made it. For example, I am waiting for HK to make a 365 sized pistol for EDC. I bought the 47 because I wanted a full sized 9mm for the range, and target practice. I also got the 47 for a lot cheaper than I could any of the other competitors pistols in the same size.
@@BigTimberLodge no reason why glock, HK and others havent made a p365 version of their own yet theyre all far behind Even now everyones getting on the 50state legal pistol comp gun trend. Glock wont do that even tho people ask and go aftermarket anyhow
GLOCK is an absolute joke at this point. They haven't innovated in over 30 years. It's amazing with so many better pistols out there, that Glock sells a single gun. This is my honest opinion!!
I'm not going to argue with you. I prefer HK overall. However, I've been waiting for HK to make a pistol the size of a 43X or a 365, but they haven't. Also, I review guns on my channel, and the 47 is the evolution of the 17, so you're going to see more people buying them. Thank you for watching.
But what more could Glock do to make it better? Innovated over years? There’s a bunch of other handguns out there that haven’t innovated over the years, but I respect your opinion!
I have a bunch of pistols and my Glock 45 is my favorite semi. it just works and does what it's supposed to do. My only regret was not buying the MOS version.

it's a reverse model 45. The only benefit is you can buy a model 19 slide and there's glock idea of Modular.
Its not. Its the same size as the 17 but with a 19 recoil spring so you can change slides easier

Is the recoil spring of the G19 strong enough for the G47 longer slide?
To be honest, I have not tried this myself. I would look at other reviews for that answer.
