- Glock handguns are famous for their parts interchangeability. Most people know that the same frames are used for a wide variety of models. But which models use which frames? And which internal parts need to be swapped for which calibers?
In this video, Lenny explains the "Frame Facts!" - Jak na to + styl
His voice reminds me of either a infomercial star or possibly a car salesman. Regardless, he's great at explaining everything that is Glock.
Highly knowledgeable man. Definitely helped fuel my passion for Glock and Beretta at an early age. He doesn't do much with the latter but kinda cause of him I got it in me to 100% disassemble and reassemble them and learn to do it right.
He sounds like Mike Rowe!
@@RichardCranium321 I was thinking maybe James Woods kinda lol
@@minarchisttrucker2775 eh, maybe, but when I closed my eyes I heard Mike Rowe esque tones & tempo. Not very familiar w James woods but I grew up w dirty jobs & the animal planet shows he narrated & loved them both, not to mention he's one hell of a man & a patriot to the core. 🇺🇸
I was thinking radio DJ LOL
Lenny...I remember buying your vhs instructional videos back in the 90's. You still got it man! Looks like you are still doing what you love to do. Great stuff and congrats on your longevity and success!
Thanks for the kind words Bill. Glad to hear you're a big GS fan for all these years right along with me. Nevermind the name; it's my burn account. LM
LENNY HAS THE BEST VIDEOS ABOUT GLOCKS . HE HITS ALL THE POINTS, INCLUDING THE ELEMENTRY POINTS. EXCELLENT VIDEOS.
Thank you for staying in CA and fighting the good fight! Sending best wishes from OC CA!
The Glock Guru is the man. So much good information for the non-gunsmithing community. I love his videos.
what a cool guy. He should run for president. Great charisma. Been watching his old videos. Dude is intelligent
you're an idiot
A very well done video that has held up five years later. Good job Lenny.
Lenny that's great, glad you can see again sir...love my Glocks
Great Video Presentation! After watching several of your video presentations, I have become a real fan of the GlockStore. The manner in which you present each video is very professional, yet I also feel your personal passion for providing valuable information and instruction to your viewers. Thank you for your service to us newbie Glock owners and keep up the great job.
Explaining that the lower of a Glock is considered a gun is quite helpful, the fact that my Gen 2 G19 can benefit from an update to Gen 3 via a Polymer 80 conversion is fantastic!
thank you for the videos Magill they were very very helpful. I'm new to the glock and by watching you're videos they have helped me tremendously on knowing my glock 17 Gen 4 way way better.!!!!
You have answerd alot of questions I've had, very informative, Thank You.
Extremely well done informative video! Thank you sir!
Wonderful speaker and explainer. Thank you.
great information thanks Lenny
Thanks Lenny, very good information!! Definitely answered some of my questions!!! Highly recommended to Glock shooters
great video and info.
Very awesome video- my wife and I are new to the clocks and very thankful for your videos - all the best keith & Baober lucero
Congrats on the lasik, I just got mine and love it!
Great video Lenny!
the ejector is in the same spot in relation to barrel centerline on the 9 or 40 cal.
the 9 and 40 both use small pistol primers, so if the ejector could hit the primer on the 40 it could also hit on the 9.
The exact info I was looking for. Thanks
Thanks for another great educating video.....
Legend has it, Lenny once arm wrestled Gaston Glock. The extreme strength of both competitors caused the air between their palms to compress into a black hole. That black hole now sits in the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
Your videos are so informative. Thanks
I´m from Austria and here the lower is just a part and you can buy it without register. Only pressurized parts need to be registered. So if you use a match barrel, you register it as accessory. And you can register two accessories for each gun. A complete upper is also considered one accessory.
I like how you plugged lasik eye business!
Thank you for sharing this. Many years ago I always wondered why my glock had a bend ejector. I thought I had damaged it somehow.
Lenny, we've been watching you for a long time, now. We love your store(s) and all its offerings. And the info and experience you have to share and your enthusiasm in doing so. We see your passion for the sport as genuine and that you're not just "out for a buck." I'm sure that's been the driving force behind your success.
I've found this presentation about frames and their relationship to/with each other to be very helpful and, especially so to those who might not be at the same level as some others in the Glock "world." Glock doesn't exactly make it easy, with all of the various model numbers and how they interchange. This simplifies things, a lot.
But... In the same respect for those people just figuring it all out, there's something I think needs calling out.
To say the "preferred method" (indicating there may be other differences involved) of converting the 17 to a 22 is to replace the *entire* trigger housing just to facilitate exchanging the shell ejector, makes no sense. Just dollars, for whomever sells the housing. Dollars which don't *need* to be spent and especially in the face of the cost of a new slide and barrel, plus "X" no. of magazines. Every dollar counts for a lot of people in light of this "fiscal fiasco" we're all being forced to navigate right now. 😀
If there's some valid reason, some other difference between the housing assys of which I'm not aware then, please... Someone let me know and I'll graciously acquiesce. 😀
To the best of my knowledge the only difference *is* the ejector, itself.
Also, you should do the subject justice by giving all of the info since you're currently in the middle of disseminating information about just that...
If the housing is in the frame, yes. A short, needle nose plier works fine. Securely grasp/support the frame and pull firmly. The other, "preferred method," should the housing already be out of the frame, is to use a small punch and simply push the ejector out from the rear and install the desired ejector. Either way, it's only a 30 sec. swap and there's no need to pay for a whole new housing. 😉
If it seems like I'm "over reacting," apologies. I'm just trying to give you credit when due (which is 98.5% of the time) and call BS when necessary.
We still love ya in this house, Buddy.
What?

Sir...
I'm afraid that ou're the winner of today's "This is unbelievable, I can't take it anymore" response to these types of response... Which has been building for a while.
May I direct you to an English 101 primer and Websters "New world dictionary, unabridged?? My comment was articulate, well punctuated and of proper structure and grammar. I know that's somewhat confusing to a lot of today's highschool (and college) "graduates." Mind you, that's not a personal attack, by any means, I don't know your personal scholastic background but, "what?" as a response to a viable and comprehensible comment *does* tend to raise an eyebrow.
I admit, the ability to and act of being thorough in my speech and communication does frequently get me labeled as [a] "racist" (though that's not the correct usage of the word, "bigot" would be much more appropriate), however one has anything to do with the other, I've no idea or that I'm trying to somehow "belittle" people, simply by speaking or writing correctly and comprehensively but, I'm just using the vocabulary and communication skills I was tought in grade/high school (which I actually attended, what was I thinking...) and it's application thereof to convey my thoughts, opinions and questions in an understandable presentation. Seems that's a waste of time these days, a lone voice on a deserted island in a vast ocean.
Now then... Am I being sarcastic? Of course, obviously so. But, the types of responses I get for actually using more than the apparently acceptable "144 characters" to communicate is astounding... And, a sad commentary on today's outlook on the ability of people to effectively communicate with one another, which is a huge cause in today's societal breakdown.
If people held a book instead of a phone for the same amount of hours in a day, this world would be a *much* better place.
But, I digress...
To answer your very "succinctly put" question, aside from a sincere acknowledgement of the services that Lenny McGill provides to the Glock owners/shooters community, I called out the fact that "there's more than one way to skin a cat..."
And they're not all the expensive way.
You don't need to replace the whole trigger housing just to replace the extractor.
Hope that clarifies things for you.
(In other words, "ask a silly question, get a silly answer"). 😉
great video! Thank you!
Very nice feature to be able to interchange uppers
Awesome video Sir
These videos rock.
Congratulations on your successful surgery. Love you man
Lenny, if you haven't already, you should film some safety videos to be used in classes. You have the perfect voice for it and you explain everything you're doing so well. As someone who will potentially be teaching classes for law enforcement next year (if everything goes according to plan), I would put more trust in you covering everything important than I would in myself.
second that
One of the best instructors I've learned information from said a very beneficial statement at the beginning of his first class (a state-certified PPO program if it matters): No one person knows absolutely everything we're about to talk about; I can learn something from everyone in the room and vice versa.
That said, when I go to an instructor for certification, the last thing I want to hear is the instructor having doubts about his abilities. I say this to you with respect mind you, but knowledge is an accumulation of time and effort. In your case, a LEO can and probably will reference your class when he/she has to testify about their actions at some point, and that has some potentially severe repercussions for all involved. If you're having doubts when teaching others how and what to do-especially in a legally binding manner-perhaps a moment of reflection is in order.
When it comes to legality, I have no doubts. My doubts are more about how to defend oneself when legally able to and a comprehensive safety talk. I've taken a few defensive/combative handgun courses and there always seems to be some disagreement between instructors, although that is bound to happen and isn't something that can really be helped. What I think Lenny would be perfect for is a firearms safety course for rookie LEOs who have little firearms experience. That being said, honestly anyone who sees this and can come up with a list of everything that would need to be discussed could help. (Also, I just really like Lenny's voice and would like to have his expertise to back me up in any class I teach)
000Bob000jones000 I can't argue with a Lenny-based video program. Beyond the logistics of that and before I get to my recommendations, what state and capacity are you teaching these perspective courses? (Academy or other?) In Texas, beyond the base academy if you are hired by an agency, there are TCLEOSE-certified institutions that one can attend similar to EMT certifications where they teach the gamut from all the bookwork to range time; essentially everything to be an LEO with certificate.
I'd be teaching in Illinois, post-academy (probably immediately post-academy). I'm currently working on USAS and NRA certifications and plan to be teaching courses for LEOs who want to better their shooting abilities.
You and hickok45 are my two favorites by far.
They're Both Great
Not enough time in the day to listen!
Great job
Hey lenny, thanks for answering my question before i even asked
Hey Lenny. You're badass. Love your videos.
Lenny, will I look as good in my Glock store t shirt as you?
I literally have been looking for this very video
Good video as always. I'm not a Glock guy. However, I do own a G 22. I'm an instructor & a lot of my students shoot Glocks & have questions. Your videos contain helpful information
Will a gen2 upper fit on a gen3 lower?
In South Africa the barrel is registered as it is the part that can be identified via ballistics testing. When replacing a barrel on a hunting rifle a full new license is required. All other parts can be exchanged without permission or paperwork. Would have loved to swap out parts on the G19 but it is near impossible with the differences in regulations.
Yout cleared up a ton of questions I had! Thank you so much!!! (liked/subscribed
(also,at first glance kind of look like
Tim Allen on steroids 😁👍🏻
Thanks again!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Just picked up my first gun (glock) yesterday
Welcome to the dark side lol
I have a trigger kit for .357sig on my G26 installed, which includes .357sig (or .40S&W) ejector, of course...
So far, I think it can affect on angle at which spent case will be ejected from the pistol, that's all it may affect. I don't think it can engage a primer in any way, it is just physically impossible...
Glock store in the most anti gun state. Oh the irony
Come pick up some ten round mags and a non approved handgun?
Yeah, you would think that they would move out of Commie-fornia.
+Mike Marion oh the irony..... you nailed it on the heax
head*
People think CA is the most anti-gun state. People always fail to mention NY and the horrible attached NYC. I was actually able to walk into a gun shop in CA and buy a pistol. That's unheard of in NYC where I'm from.
You sir got a voice for radio
Answered my question in seconds! So the (gen 3)G17 slide will function on a G22 slide! Basically do not care about anything else (suspicion confirmed) but I'll let the rest of the video play just for your run time >=]
Edit: also dropping a like my guy! Thank you for three great video.
I really wish someone would come out with a frame that was contoured similar to a Glock 26 using a Glock 19 magazine and X-Grip. When I swap the triggers out of my G26 and G19, I pull the trigger well more consistently in the Glock 26 (and there is about a pound difference between the two). I attribute this to the hump, and I really think Glock was on to something with their 26th patent.
Just a dumb question. Can i have a glock 17 and just one 34 slide to switch between them? keep the 17 slide daily and use the 34 slide for competitions?
Lenny Magill is awesome
You need to make a GS frame for the Glock 20 and 21 please. Don’t forget about us 10mm and 45cal guys. 9mm may be good for plinking or conceal/ carry, but I prefer some serious stopping power for home defense.
Do you have to change the ejector and extractor if you change to a conversion barrel like glock 22 to 9mm conversion barrel can I keep it the same except for magazine? I tried it fired great even with the 40 magazine which I will change to a 9mm magazine.
Does the interchangeability apply to the compact glocks (19,23) to be specific.
Good info on how all these parts interchange! I have been considering a spectre build myself, and now I know all about parts interchange!! That being said, isnt the Spectre a Gen 3 style frame?
We need a video specifically on building a g26 p80. The g26 is extremely difficult to get to work reliably.
16 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way back. 14 lb spring and the slide won't go all the way forward.
I recently acquired a PF940 From a woman whose husband had passed away before he had a chance to assemble it. In the kit was the Jig and the 5/64th Milling Bit so that the rear rail guides can be put in. The kit didn't have the End Mill bit. There was also no instruction sheet or parts list for the rest of the parts for the lower receiver or what caliber it is. Does the PF 940 on the cover of the box mean that it can be either a 9mm or 40 cal. Jerry Dday
Lenny great video but, I sure wish you'd put a gun mat on that hard table too keep from banging those slides around.
Is there a smaller narrower frame for the .40cal 23s? I have a smaller hand, and the frame is too wide. Wondering if Glock made narrower frames that'll compensate the .40.
Lenny. I have a Glock 35 and a bunch of Glock 17. They are all gen 3, can the frames be switched around even tho the locking block for the 17 and 35 are different? Thanks
Lenny I have a Glock 22 with a 9mm conversion barrel I also have a Glock 17 9mm all stock . Can I use the Glock 22 .40cal magazines with the 9mm conversion . The 9mm rounds load into the 22 .40cal magazines and appear like they would work .
Do I need to use the Model 17 magazines or will the Model 22 magazines cycle and run with 9mm ammo . Thank you Al
Thanks for explaining this. I have a glock 32 and am thinking of getting a new slide for it. The new one coming out from Strike Industries caught my eye. But, these are only being made for 19 and 17. Is it possible to use their slide on my 32? There rep said it's not advisable, but I am thinking that was because legalities.
can you put the glock 17 slide on the glock 27 frame?
Lenny what about the springs of 9 mil line up?Like the recoil springs,trigger unit and extractors are they all the same?
Lenny, You are the Coolest Glock Guy EVER...!!!
you guys should do the Glock 19 Poly frames ASAP!!!
So Lenny I have a question if I just choose to change out the barrel on my 40 caliber Glock 22 to convert it to fire 9 mm rounds do I have to also as you indicated change the extractor in this particular case or is it only Paramont to switching the uppers and lowers please let me know I’d love an answer it’s important I don’t want my gun to blow up in my hands
Does anyone know what would happen if you put a smaller slide on the frame. Like let’s say a 19x slide on a 17 frame. Would it function and would it cause any issues?
Only time you would have a live round cycling backwards towards the ejector is if you unload the gun manually which would not render enough momentum to ignite a primer, i don't see any way a live 40.sw round could be set of out of battery by a 17 frame. However it might case some ejection issues, i can't comment on that, but it will not fire out of battery. Just a comment on the info given at 9:45.
I’m building a g23 but I can’t find a slide parts kit anywhere so I was wondering if I can use a g19 slide parts kit on my g23 or would that be dangerous or not function properly
Is there any difference in the frame internals? Like if you wanted to build a 30 could you use the internal parts from a 21?
Can you guys develop and beaver tail grip adapter for a gen3 g20-21? I have the 21 SF that I bought to mitigate slide bite. It didn't work. The grip adapters do.
just curious, can you cut the polymer 80 frame to fit a g26 slide?
Can you do a video on the 17M and 19M and let us know what you know about Gen 5? Thanks.
Lenny -- I live in san Diego. My hand likes the full frame grip on the 17... and my eye likes the 4.01" barrel of the 19. Can I put this combination together, without any problem?
How do u put a light or Lazer on the rail without covering the number ????
Can you make one with steel slide rails? That would be great!
Primer is located in the exact same position on a 40 as it is a 9mm both use small pistol located in the center on the round. If you're worried about the ejector hitting the primer on a 40....you should worry about it hitting the primer on a 9mm to.
So is it safe have you tried it ?
Lenny what do you think of the Timberwolf frame
Or. Could i marry/ pair the G36 upper and Lpk. On a subcompact frame like 26-27. And have magazine fit and function etc?
do a video about which complete uppers can be switched with what complete lowers for instance how you can put 19 upper on a 26 lower
@2Stroke Tyson you wrong look up glock 1926 hybrid on youtube it works with at 17 and 34 as well fyi
I have a gen4 g27 can I just buy @ drop in a 9mm barrel ( same length , of course ) for it to function as a 9mm ?
Hi great vid.. thnkz I want build a sub compact 357 ..which size slide would i use.? Thnkz
A gen 3-19 upper works perfectly fine on a gen 4-19 lower. I have tried it.
In reference to the accidental 17/22 primer strike- Aren't they both small pistol primers and therefore the same "accidental strike"?
can i use a gen 4 slide and gen4 dual spring guide rod on a gen 3 frame
Can you use Gen4 uppers on the Spectre Polymer80 frame?
The bent ejector will not strike the primer of the 40 Cal. Both the 40 and the 9 have the primer in the same spot, they are center-fire. Derp!
Does the factory frame, stripped sku: 6265 have a serial number? Can I get it finished in FDE or ODG before sent to me? BTW, good videos.
I have Glock 17 gen 5 and am considering purchasing a Glock 45 gen 5 can I use the same magazines for both pistols, my concern is that I am only allowed to process 10 - round magazines when I live, so this will work or no
Are the frames the same on certain years for the G17 & G20/21?
What glock do you recommend for small handed shooters and it’s not the 19 because my daughter can’t shoot it with out failures because of grip size
Upper as the gun makes more sense to me as it could be rigged up to be a single shot. The lower alone is incapable of firing a bullet but the upper could fire a bullet without the lower.
Quick question. I currently use the .40 to 9mm barrel from your site on my glock 27 with glock 26 mag. But happen to come across a 26 frame. Can I use the glock 27 upper with your .40 to 9mm barrel on a glock 26 frame.
Gotta love Austrian technology of their Glock pistols.
Hey Larry, so are you saying that on a stock Glock 27 Gen 3 from the factory, you can put a stock from the factory Glock 22 Gen 3 slide on it?
Lenny is a buffed up old Gipper. Dang.
Don’t miss Cali. I do however miss you guys.
does the 17 frame work with a 17L slide?
Dumb question from a Glock noob, can a Gen4 upper work properly mated to a Gen3 frame? Thanks for your help and support.
