- This is a tabletop review of the GLOCK 19 GEN 4. In this video we will discuss the history and development of the firearm, and provide side by side comparison with other popular models to establish scale and help visualize what it would be like carry this based on familiar platforms. We will outline all of the features, and how these features may or may not be important to you based on your personal needs. Range performance will also be discussed along with different tested methods of carry and how comfortable it is to carry on a regular basis. Last, we will provide an overall opinion of how this firearm stacks up for concealed carry purposes. Thanks for watching!
I have been a victim of my own demise within the conceal carry market, I have tried many different firearms. M&P’s, CZ, 1911, XD’s, Taurus and some others. For myself, the Glock 19 has met my requirements. All the firearms mentioned are great tools, just not for me. I am 5’11” , 185lbs, I can CCW appendix and carry 2 additional magazines with little to no problems. While the Glock platform has many downsides for others, I actually find it to be versatile because of the marketed accessories and other firearms that utilize Glock magazines. That being said, I run my Glock 19 stock, except for the sights, they’re iron. Don’t want to make this any longer, just a tool that works for me. Great review!! 👍
I’ve been through the gauntlet - started with revolvers - moved to the classics (P226, Beretta 92, CZ75, HKP30) and then intro 1911’s and into Nighthawks and Wilsons after my Springfield and Dan Wesson phases… I still have all of these guns… I then started with Glock and migrated to the supposed Glock Killers (M&P, VP9, PPQ, PDP, P320)… I bought 2 Wilson EDC X9’s - a perfect carry gun… and my final choice for every day carry - GLOCK 19 Gen 5 MOS with Ameriglo sights… The moral of the story is I love all good guns and platforms but the G19 is truly excellent, stands there test of time and is perfectly fit for purpose - that says a lot considering I have $4,500 guns in my collection. Glocks are so simple, so clean and function so well - true classics.
I agree wholeheartedly. My collection is very similar to yours. The only exception is that my EDC is a G19 Gen4 with an Apex Trigger with a Holosun 507 X2 Green Dot. Fortunately, there's a few of us left that will at least admit to where our loyalty is and why.
$4500!? Just one nighthawk is that much.
@@Hialeah1925 that's what he said, he has guns that cost $4500 in his safe. Not that all of his guns cost that much.
I guess I am the only person in the world that has no problems with the stock sights. Zero problems. Works every time and I hit the target just like I'm supposed to.
I doubt you are the only one. Everyone has different preferences, that’s all.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel wow you're quick! I was being sarcastic of course but I've just never seen the issue with the stock sights. They sit low. Highly visible and quick for my older eyes to pick up.
@@flintymcduff5417 I totally get it. I like a good high visibility front sight in orange or green for the same reason.
Agreed and plastic dont rust
@@flintymcduff5417i like them too. I have metal bight sights now though. One thing ivee notice with more casual glock owners (dont shoot very often and dont keep up with maintenance or gear) is their stock sights tend to drift off after about 500 rounds or a couple gears. Very slowly, then they go to shoot one day and only then do they noticed their rear sight is lopsided about to fall off. Seen it with so many friends and family members. Ass far as shooting goes i agree the stock polymer sights are great(as long as theyre aligned)
I was robbed by knifepoint in 1989,five days later ,I bought my first Glock,a G17.Ive since owned a 26,30,34,& two 19's.I will never sell my Glocks.Ive also owned three S&W Shields over the years.I now carry the new Shield Plus and it's my main carry gun.Im a 60 yr old woman...
Love my Gen 4 G19 and besides the Army just signed a 15 million dollar deal with Glock so that means our Spec Op Boys are still gonna be carrying Glocks 😁
Spec Op boys, girls and everything in between, sadly.
I’ve had a g19 and g26 for 10 years, they can’t be beat !! Thanks for the vid !!
Almost went for the Sig p320 but it had some tech problems so I passed and stayed with the Glock 19 Gen 3.
Great video, just bought my first Glock 19 Gen 4 with night sights at a local gun show and was a law enforcement trade in. Took it right to the range ran 50 rounds thru it and I love it. I was carrying a HK VP9SK and decided to change it up and went with the Glock 19 and so far I am not looking back. The best part is my crossbreed holster for my VP9SK worked perfectly on the Glock 19.
Ironic. I just bought my third 19 this week 😂😂😂.
There is a reason the Glock 19 is still the most popular pistol in the world, and it ain't b/c Glock just gives them away. The Glock 19 is the best combat pistol available today due to its size, reliability, support, etc. Nothing beats it! Anyone who does not at least acknowledge this, even if the 19 isn't the pistol they like, is just daft.
Daft or committed to another platform. I prefer the 23 because I prefer the .40 BUT if I couldn't get it I have have a 19 with zero regrets.
Thank you for amazing video, I have same Glock 19 gen 4 with tru glo sights, started laughing when you showed your Glock 19 Gen 4 MOS,I have G 19 gen 5 MOS
Here is the best part of a Glock 19 pistol. I can get used LE factory mags at local gun shows for $12.00 each. I bought 10 Glock 19 mags & 10 Colt Ar-15 mags for $200.00. Not bad! I like to have extra loaded mags around. We all have our quirks…LOL!
Having extra is never a bad idea. Thanks for watching!
Hello to you,
Just found this video, very informative. I absolutely love the Gen 4 model with finger groves, that’s just me. Thanks again for your thoughts on this icon model.
Be well
I love mine, my friends say to never love a gun, but I do love my Glocks. Am I fan boy?! Probably, but I love my Smith & Wessons too! My Glock 19 is a Gen 3 with TFO sights and I've carried it everyday since November 1998. My back up for it is a Glock 26 set up the same way with OEM +2 magazine extensions and it has TFX Pros. I have other guns but these are my everyday carry guns. I say no to the Serpa style holsters, but Kydex is king,! That said leather is just classy.
I love my G43 and my G19. Never had any complaints
Have you tried a 48?
Same here 😁👍
This is my tenth year with a concealed carry permit. After a lot of wasted money on various brands, I finally arrived at G19 gen 5 and S&W Shield plus. I shoot them well, they're reliable, well-made, and affordable. Really all I need in a carry gun.
This is me - started out WANTING to hate Glock. Have carried g3c, shield, 509, and finally gave into a Glock 19. It shoots awesome and is insanely reliable. If you want to be a Glock hater, try shooting it first and putting aside the Glock label.
This guys is the best reviewer & great voice if I may say so, but please get theses videos down to 20min please sir !
This is an excellent video for sure !! Carry the g26 gen 4 and g19 gen 4 and will never change 😀😀😀
I have a 17 & thought Id like it but dont. I have a 43x & luv it. I want a 19 but that grip is small & doesnt fit my hand well. Guess Im giving in to the 19x soon. I dont want to be a Glock fan as I have other pistols (my Sig P320 compact being my other fav) yet Glock nails it in the simplicity, lightweight & brutal durability/track record. I still want that 19x... or maybe the 45 :) Awesome video also, thank you.
Spoiler alert: g19 and g43x have the same length grip...🤪
But hey, to each his own! I used to hate glocks but now the 19 is my second wife.
The Glock 19 is very, very reliable, easy to use and great gun. Thank you for this
video.
Simple, well made, interchangeable magazines, easy maintenance. I'm not going to buy every new pistol that comes out on the market. I like my Shield for CCW, but I do like my Glocks. There are just so many new models of pistols released every year, with magazine capacity in small pistols being the latest craze.
Been owning guns for 30 years but after seriously shooting every chance I get I chose the Glock 19 gen4 & after thousands of rounds I've decided to get another G19 gen3 or gen5? I don't think Glock is producing Gen4 9mm guns anymore.
I ccw a G17G5 I have 2 of them but am going to the G 19 soon as a ccw for its smaller size
Is it a good CCW for a smaller female? I shot a gen 5 at my local range alongside a P365XL and I enjoyed both. However, I wonder if the G19 would be a good option (in the long run) for a multi-use gun, including on-body IWB carry. For the time being, I'm not looking to carry anything larger than a P365XL or Glock 26, but I'm hoping to eventually get to a point where I can effectively conceal a 19 or something similar.
I'm a 5'1 female,I have 2, G19's &a G34.I have a S&W Shield Plus and a Sticky pocket holster and love this little gun! 13 rds.& on par with my 19's.Its a great carry pistol.
If I could only have one handgun it would be the Glock 19. Reliable accurate simple and you can use 17 and 33 round magazines if you need more capacity. Plus compared to others around the same size it weighs less and is a perfect all around size. Good for home protection CCW shtf or war.
Glock 23 beside my bed.
365 xl when I go out.
I’ve owned a HK, S&W, CZ, Beretta, and conceal carry those and for some reason I always go back with to my Glock 19 Gen 3 with a sticky holster.
Glock 19 all day 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
S&W perfected the Glock with the M&P almost 15 years ago, even more so with the m2.0 models. With that said, little to no firearm manufacturers have been able to release a pistol in that form factor that is lighter in weight which makes the G19 still relevant. Can’t beat the ease in detail stripping/parts replacement and the low cost of magazines as well
@Kosem72 what brand and version of ammo?
@Kosem72 what model of M&P was it? Just curious. I’m a fan of both handguns
Yeah I had the S&W, sold them all (3) and went back to Glock. Never looked back.
m&ps feel funny in my hand the weirdest grip
I don't know of any holster maker that doesn't have a model for the G19.
I can honestly say although I ha e medium-large hands, the 19 is cumbersome for my hand slightly. I can say the one with the finger groves on the grip feels better than the Gen 5, but the Gen 5 45 model feels great without the grip groves.
A 30 year track record speaks for itself.
When you're really good they call you Gaston.
My Glock 19 Gen4 is my money maker.
I got one🤩
I like gen4
Same here all it has is night sights 😁
Gen 4 is my favorite. Just needs upgraded metal night sights.
It does what it’s supposed to but for the price, other guns do the job just as well if not better with better sights and better trigger. Honestly, for ccw, these days it’s hard to beat sw shield plus. I think glock had its place but glock needs to listen to customers in order to compete with the market. I’ve passed on glock so many times when looking for the next purchase because it’s hard to pay 500-600 and still need to put extra $200 of work into it to make it something you’re truly comfortable with
"If they told me I can only have one..."
Be careful of your words...there are many who are telling us we can't have any..nahmean?
It's just a figure of speech...I agree with you completely.
The 365xl feels better in the hand than a Glock 19 IMO. I wear XL gloves.
I had a 365xl. Sold it. The 43x and the 19 fit me better. Everyone is different. Try before you buy.
@@stephenwhite3576 48 is they way to go then
@@dangerousfreedom4965 I have a 48 also. I have a sig p229 Legion SAO. Awesome!
Fit is highly important. I find the Gen 5 grip to feel better than the 4.
I hated Glocks for years for the same reason people couldn't stand Jeff Gordon, it's not that they weren't good or reliable it was because everyone thinks they're the best. I have recently started buying Glocks and it's simply because they are so reliable and every small gun store has parts and magazines for them. My 1911's are fantastic but I don't like carrying them because if I have to use it in self defense I don't want my Wilson combat 1911 taken for who knows how long and what condition will it be in when I get it back? My g19 they can take.
19x😎👍.
Glock is like the iphone. Nothing crazy. Nothing revolutionary. Not very innovative. It just... works.
Except it isn't made by slave labor in China.
Not very innovative lol They were first made in the early 80s and still havent been surpassed
@@shannonandsheila1403 lol that's the first and last time they were innovative. Kind of like when the first iphone came out.
@@djlu3011 Still better than anything out there
@@shannonandsheila1403 nah a lot of manufacturers are catching up or even surpassed it now. Glocks selling points were proven reliability and aftermarkets. It's hard to compete with Glock when it comes to aftermarkets. But when it comes to reliability, there's a lot of reliable guns out there that it's not enough to just be reliable. There are guns out there with better trigger, better sights, better ergonomics, better price. They compete with Glocks aftermarkets by providing quality right out of the box at a lower price.
Many many better options. The CZ P10C, THE XD anything. The M&P line of polly wonders. Maybe one day Glock can stop putting those shitty plastic sights on their guns for their consumers.
I don't have any issues with Glock. I don't think they are the very best there is, but they do what they were designed to do pretty well. I would like to see better sight options as well. That's the one thing that has always annoyed me, knowing I have to buy sights at the same time I buy the gun.
If they are better I wonder why they havnt had the popularity that glock has?
@@rickybristersmusic3658 And plus if they were better why would our Spec Op Boys be carrying the G19 ? Answer because there isn’t anything a G19 can handle in combat 😁
@@darrylmuse9948 I'm there is something a g19 can handle.
Carry what you want. No one cares. And those "shitty plastic sights" have ne er failed to serve their purpose for me after several thousand rounds.
glock 19-5 beats it
I just can't bring myself to buy a Glock because of its look
Glocks are no-frills reliable tools. I agree they are bit bland looking, but for firearms I actually carry I don't concern myself too much with looks as long as it's a comfortable design to carry. Thanks for watching!
I actually like the way the compact Glocks look
It looks like a gun.
My Beretta and CZ are better looking and great, but I carry a Glock.
I think they are the best looking plastic guns on the market
Simple, reliable, cheap..low bore. But now out competed by better options for the buyer. Glock have failed to evolve and is behind the competition.
Maybe you should check sales numbers before stating your opinion as a fact--it isn't.
@@flintymcduff5417 it is what it is.. the competition have caught up and overtaken. Glock are living on the massive success from the past 25 years, and rightfully deserved. This is 2022, not 2002.
@@flintymcduff5417 it's always the same: someone comments in criticism of Glock and the Glock ideologues come out from under their rocks to cry about it. My original comment is about the situation NOW.. not about the past 20+ years. The market is what it is, hence my comment. So.. your comment is true about you, not me. CZ; Canik, Sig, FN, Steyr, S&W M&P2.0, IWI, Walther pdp..all have models that are at least equal alternatives and some are better.. better ergos, better everything out of the box.. some better than a modified Glock.. but if you want to throw modified Glocks into the mic then you have to allow for the others to be modified too.
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Not even close
The 19 is obsolete, get a 48 it’s amazing IMO
True, the 48 come with Bluetooth right?
@@marceloalencar9373 almost
No fun stick for the 48 Lol
Obselete? So it no longer does the job it was designed to do?
