      Sadly, I live in a "guns are evil" country. I wish it was as simple as moving state. Sick of living in Australia where personal protection is not a legitimate reason for owning a firearm. Only place you can shoot a pistol is in a range. For this reason, I would love to live in the US, preferably somewhere like Texas.

      British Forces use the Glock as well, I think the US Army went with a P220. In the UK it replaced the L9A1 (Browning Hi-Power 9mm). It seems a lot more user-friendly. The Police here have been using them for years.

      @Betsy Ross 2a Mate thank you for the correction. Do you think the US forces will eventually standardise with their choice of service pistol? I believe the reason all UK forces now use the L131A1 SLP (Glock 17, Self-Loading Pistol) is standardisation and parts commonality. British Police use the Glock 17, and covert/sneaky beaky Police use the subcompact (??) version, The Glock 26 (??) chambered in 9mm.

I also see that a lot of guys hate and I mean hate that their 3,000 dollar Kimber or their 1,200 dollar Sig is always outperformed by 500 dollar Glocks every time...

    @xBossAwesomex, I've shot it several times since doing the videos. The only malfunctions I've had were with the early videos. AFter I shoot it some more, I might test it again with whatever the worst / weakest 115 grain 9mm is to see if I can get it to malfunction with some of that stuff. I really don't care, though, if there's an occasional malfunction with the worst, weakest ammo. For the spring to work better with normal powered ammo, I guess it HAS to just barely perform with light stuff.

The best camera we could find that has that level of optical zoom was the Sony CX 150. Plus, it has some internal flash memory, which makes it nice. it seems to be a good camera thus far. We just started using it. The only reason we were slow to go HD was the fact that we knew we would have to do a MAJOR computer and editing software upgrade. The camera was the easy part. :-)

    @1962egl , Good point. Yeah, a lot of people talk and talk about the duel recoil spring being the problem, but Glock as definitely established a great track record with duel recoil springs. It's just the strength of the spring that is the problem for some. shooters and some ammo. My guess is that the aftermarket will take care of the issue pretty quickly, if Glock doesn't. There will be springs of every weight imaginable. I've always preferred stock springs, but we'll see how it goes.

    I came back to watch this video from nearly 4 yrs ago to remind myself of the problems that the Gen4 G19 went through. These days I believe the gun is very much GTG, but a week ago I decided to run a #3 RSA I took out of my oldest Gen4 G23 in my own Gen4 19, a more recent FDE version. Perhaps because of all of the 40S&W rounds that this particular #3 spring has already seen over the years it's loosened up quite a bit, but the G19 didn't bobble in the 350 rounds I ran through it. Hardly scientific but I still thought it interesting. Shot a variety of 115gr and 124gr rounds, though most are considered hotter (S&B 115gr, Lawman 115gr and 124gr, Federal AE 124gr, Blazer Brass 124gr, HPR 115gr) than the UMC that you were shooting back in this video.
    A long time ago I personally found that Remington UMC is IMHO one of the lesser ammo types on the market; I've had problems with the stuff in 9mm and 45AUTO in a number of otherwise reliable handguns, including Glocks of multiple generations, 1911s, SIGs, M&Ps and CZs. I know of a customer who had a squib shooting that stuff; fortunately he recognized the problem immediately before squeezing off another shot and thus giving himself a really, REALLY bad day. Seems anything firearms-related tied to Freedom Group or Cerberus Capital these days is suspect. A shame, really.
    These days the only REAL problem I personally have with current Glocks is with rust, something that in the "good old days" was never an issue with the old, discontinued Tenifer steel treatment they once used. Really dislike having to constantly wipe down my IWB carry G23 nearly every day just to keep the slide from further pitting damage, something I never had to do with my old Gen3 G19 when I carried that one.
    With the Gen4 G19 in particular, the main problem is supply; I can't find them in any quantity ANYWHERE. No distributor seems to ever have any in stock, and I've had a backlog of customers who've been nagging me to get one (or more) in for them. If you have a reliable contact over at Smyrna, could you tell them to start pumping them out in far greater quantities? They don't seem to listen to dealers and their "gun counter commandos" :D very often, it seems. Maybe a CZcams 'rock star' might fare better. Much thanks...and keep your excellent vids coming.

    The Glock19 Gen4 was my first handgun! As a hunter in Germany, i'm limited to two handguns, rifles and shotguns are without ans limit.
    I like my G19, but today i would buy an Glock chambered in .40 S&W, and a 9mm Conversion Kit for training on the range.
    My second handgun is a 4" S&W Security Special in .357 Magnum.

    Thanks for this video. It was full of great information. I did not know about the 03 & 04 springs for the Gen 4 Glock 19. Mine is an 03. It started out having several misfeeds with Remington ammo. My wife had more trouble than I did. I just finished an IDPA match with my Gen 4 Glock 19. I ran several different types of ammo. No misfeeds. There could be something to the break-in period for the 03 spring. I also left the Glock lubricant in place at first. Each cleaning removes some of this.

  • @vincegusbar5404

    Hey Hickok love your channel. I wanted to let you know I have a bad habit of buying the cheapest 9mm ammo available and I have never had any issues with any of my Glocks (Gen 3 or Gen 4) with feeding and ejecting. I agree with you totally that the Glocks are some of the most reliable polymer handguns available today. I love them.

  • @78awhite
    @78awhite Před 13 lety

    I've put 600 rounds through my "03" sprung G4 G19 and I haven't had a single issue. I've been shooting UMC and WWB 115gr. No cleaning thus far and no issues. It's a case of getting what you pay for. I shoot cheap ammo for practice but I don't expect it to function like ammo that I pay $1 or more a round for. When I put this gun up after a range trip I don't leave a UMC loaded magazine in there. For PD, I use a very hot and capable PD round that will cycle. Keep up the great work Hickok45!

    Hey Hickok! Glad to see you working the Gen4 G19. I really like mine and haven't had any issues with it. Runs like a top...and that's comparing it to my first Gen G19...which, thousands of rounds later, still runs wonderfully.

  • @Rx_Vitamin_R

    I just purchased a 19 gen4 yesterday. I have watched all of your videos on this firearm and I cannot wait to take it to the range tomorrow! Hopefully it will serve me well as I start my first competition ever in the Glock division. I trust everything you review and like. I know that I will be extremely pleased with this pistol. Thank you for taking all of this time to review it.

    • @hickok45
      @hickok45  Před 5 lety +3

      You'll enjoy that pistol. Good choice on the Gen 4, too. If I were buying a new Glock for myself, it would definitely be a Gen 4, rather than a Gen 5, even if I had to pay more for it.

    I have been through a lot of great guns to include HK, Sig, FN, CZ, SA, Steyr, Beretta, S&W, and Glock, and the Glock 19 Gen 4 is the absolute most perfect pistol for me. Now I love all the others, and I think they are fine guns, but I have tested them all to know for absolute sure the G19.4 is my gun. I guess it's true that your gun finds you rather than you finding your gun, and I've tried really hard to find a lot of other guns besides the Glock 19, but it is what it is. For me, this is the perfect EDC/GP gun made.

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  Před 11 lety +1

    Actually, if a person "limp wrists" a semiauto, it can cause the gun to malfunction. The shot that was just taken might go wherever it should have, but the next round is what hangs up the gun. A semiauto in order to function properly depends on the grip's being stabilized. If you could lay a semiauto on the ground and just get it to fire somehow, it would hang up every time because the grip is not stabilized.

  • @JonCMarino
    @JonCMarino Před 7 lety +2

    PLEASE do the new glock 19C gen4!!! There is a cult following for the ported glocks! I know you don't like ported guns but the 19C is a unicorn gun that people love!! I just picked one up and it's by far the best glock I've ever owned of MANY!! Maybe a side by side comparison like you did with the new shield?? I know I'd love to get your take on the 19C gen4!!

  • @hickok45
    @hickok45  Před 13 lety

    @kgarvey100 , Depends on how weak it has to be. A .22 Magnum might be a choice, but 9mm would be better if it's not too strong. Maybe buy some subsonic rounds that are meant for a subgun. They would not be as effective, but they would recoil less.

  • @whitebread556
    @whitebread556 Před 12 lety

    This video made me go it and buy my first 9mm Glock. I have several of their 10mm, .45 Auto, .40, and a .357 Sig...never a problem with any. The Internet made it sound like their Gen4 9mm guns failed every-other shot. Leave it to Hickok to showit like it is. Keep up the god work, man!

    Just purchased a Glock 17 gen 4 and a 19 gen 4 and shot the 19 today. All I got to say is what a gun! Very nice trigger and the stock sights are dead on. Feels real good in my hands and break down and cleaning is really too easy. Thanks for the great videos, they really helped me and my son out from decision making, purchase and shooting.

    thanks for your reply. it's nice to see that you still take the time to engage your viewers. i've also tried shooting several full magazines doing my best to limp wrist various pistols. coincidentally i've never had a failure during these experiments which is why i'm so skeptical. i may end up trading my gen 4 19 in for a gen 3 17. i still haven't lost my taste for glock yet.

    Thank you Mr. Hickok for getting and testing this Gen.4 out for us. This gun has been on my must-have list for 6 mths. now but the negative reviews has had me purchasing SR9's and SR9c's instead until you received one and tryed it out. Your experience and opinion means a great deal to me. You might as well keep buying the cheap ammo as your tests for this gun continues because with todays economy I'm sure that's what most of us can only afford to buy. Thank You.
