I love how Eric pulled out 5 or 6 Glocks and still pat himself down to see if he missed any.
+Kenneth Taylor
Because he can't count past 5?
@Christian Shesler That was probably his loaded carry gun. The others he put on for the video.
And he SAFELY checked them all !
Lol
I show my friends my Kimber. I show my enemies my Glock.
Phanny block once said.
you can't run fast enough to give me a Glock .
I like that🤣😁😁💯
Bro that would be a great bumper sticker slogan
What an amazing statement !!!!!👏 👌
Loved when he started pulling Glocks out of everywhere like Tackleberry from Police Academy
Ha ha your old
I’m old too ain’t nothing wrong with be / getting old we still the shit and I loved that reference Tackle Barry was a Savage 😂
Tackleberry reference is dead on 👍🏻
Eugene Tackleberry hit his target. And then some. (Yes, first name was Eugene.)
Always love it when the CZcams algorithm brings up an old Barry video. RIP old timer.
A wise man once said that the best thing to pass on is knowledge. Barry has done that.
Yup, when I'm in a gun store looking around I still remember some things Barry told us about them while I'm browsing haha
RIP Barry:(
“Badass Barry”! Such a cool man. Rest in Peace. Not only do I enjoy the videos you made, I’ve learned so much and keep your wisdom to heart. Thank you Sir Barry, for everything. ✌️
I worked as an armed courier for Loomis Armored and my daily carry was a Glock 22. Thankfully my partner and I never had an incident on the road but I trusted that gun to defend life. I absolutely love that gun . It'd had the piss beat out of it after being worn in a drop holster for 6 years but it still functions like the day I bought it. Great video. Barry is definitely missed.
I miss hearing Barry's take on all things firearms. :(
but I love that he's wearing a Danzig t-shirt!
RIP Barry, you are missed. Great job, Eric, please continue the excellent work.
Barry's dead?
@@ared18t yea he passed a while ago between 1 and 3 years ago I suck at remembering when things happened
ENCRYPTED huh?
R.I.P
U mean the glock didn't save his life????...ok bad joke..RIP
"I just don't get it, why people don't like Glocks. I mean, they're compact..."
*proceeds to whip out six Glocks from under his jacket*
Flawless victory.
ConcaCon if the 43 and 42 would have been out he probably would have had them in his pockets.
Savvy Savages yes really
He missed the two ankle holsters! Seriously, I was waiting for, oh, I forgot about that one there....
ConcaCon Jacket is the key word. That's the only way you can carry 6 Glocks.
art alvarez Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. So you find a featureless black metal rectangle on top of a near featureless piece of plastic with horrible ergonomics and horrible to CC more beautiful than a Browning HiPower, 1911, Sig 220,226,229,320 etc..., Beretta 92, HK USP and so many more? The reason Glock is so popular is due to the price. But most don't realize they will have to buy night sights and probably trigger, barrel and extended slide & mag releases to make any Glock equal to it's competition. So sure you paid $460 for your Glock but by the time you buy the add-ons your up to $830+ and by then you still don't have the best bang for your buck.
Bashing on popular brands makes people feel smarter than the masses.
@Kevin Goetz for real I only drink beer to get a buzz going I'm not trying to have exquisite tastes in alcohol consumption
Following the trendiest of handguns and swearing their the best... makes people feel smarter.
@@newerest1 >bragging about not having taste
Ppl hate Glocks cuz their BLACK
@@frydemwingz >caring about the taste of your drug
Why do people hate Glocks Barry?
“I don’t know, I used to hate them.”
Then why did you hate them Barry? Lol RIP AMERICAN PATRIOT. YOU WILL BE MISSED.
I miss Barry.
R.I.P.
DAN LAROCA what happened to him?
Subutiya Saahir heart attack
DAN LAROCA We all do, Good thing his knowledge will be on youtube forever
Man,
We all miss Barry..
Rcasca1 agreed
Barry has a Danzig shirt!!!! Anyone else notice that?
Yep that guy was awesome
peptobismolsaves1
Sure did notice. That's wicked.
peptobismolsaves1 Barry loves Danzig. I’ve seen Danzig 7 times here in Florida
check out this dank boomer in a Danzig shirt. FUCKIN BASED!
peptobismolsaves1 I actually have that exact skull on a custom slide cover plate on my Glock 21, so I got a kick out of him wearing it in this video.
Mother!!!
“The Baby Glock, The Momma Glock, and the Papa Glock”!
Gotta love those Papa Glocks! 17,21,22 and 31
I'm a convert to Glock fandom. However, I still admire, appreciate, and own other pistols. Just be cool, everyone.
I am not nearly as old as Barry, but I resisted it for a long time as well. "I don't want no plastic gun"... Then I started to EDC every day for 5 year... Yep, I love Glocks.
barry was the best god damn gun youtuber there ever was. man i miss watching these vids with him in them.
Facts brother!!
Is cussing God necessary to make your point?
@@adamshaw8214 F yea, sometimes.
Berry has a DANZIG shirt on. He's the man
SAMHAIN not Danzig. Same thing but different band.
Michael John I’ve seen Danzig many times in Orlando Florida. Seen Samhain once. Many many years ago.
@@michaeljohn8905 That is a Danzig shirt. All the Samhain shirts with the skull on them said Samhain. That does not.
@@michaeljohn8905 yep, Danzig shirt. I've had one since '88, when I bought it at the show.
Iv8888 had some Sabbath Bloody Sabbath gear in another video
I have been a 1911 guy for 30 years but I must Admit I bought my first glock a few years ago I am on my third glock. I hate that I love my glocks.
They just always work
Glock perfection *Changes trigger, sights, slide, grip*
Justin Walters exactly the Glock is only superior with the after market out the box it’s better guns than the Glock the 26 is the only gun imo Glock truly takes the cake that’s the gold standard for double stack cc
Lol, Pyramid trigger, 4.5 striker spring, tungsten guide rod, True Glow TFO sights, CT Laserguard, Silencerco barrel, and Talon grips... Yep, that's my Glock, and it's perfect.
I change nothing on my Glocks. Any parts I replace are factory parts.
People do these things but you don't need to. It will run right from the factory. If I was To change anything it would be the sights.
The only thing I changed is the sights on my Glock 23 and removed the finger grooves and stippled it. I don't care if I threw the resale value in the shitter. I'm not selling it.
It's not that I hate Glock, it's just that I love Smith & Wesson.
SgtHulkasBigToe I’m the complete opposite. You couldn’t give me another s&w. Sold that fucker immediately. Lol
Nick Stalker how come?
God made man... Smith and Wesson made man equal... enough said
@@mr.christopherp.4851
F'n idiot - that was Samuel Colt.
Holy shit dude, figure it out.
The m&p with the exception of the trigger is basically the same as the g19
Someone once commented "the Glock is the Toyota Corolla of hand guns."
Ugly but reliable.
Also... wont survive a collision.
More like square diesel Volvo
This doesn't make sense, since Toyotas are great good looking trucks and not bad looking cars. Stupid comment.
@@kabobl-brewster1612 Looks are subjective. You know this. Stupid comment.
Kabob L-Brewster he said Corolla. Didn’t know that was Toyota’s truck now... idiot
The thing that gets me with Glock more so than ANYTHING is the Glock fan boys. The ones who swear you up and down they are the be all end all handgun, period. You mention any other brand that you own its junk.
Found the Springshit owner
@@whiteyfisk9769 yup I own several springfields and would go gun for gun against your goofy ass and your hipoints. You prob dont even own a gun hell id take your pellet rifle kid. Wanna put your super rare block 19(you're obviously one of the glocktards people are referencing in the comments) up against my CZ shadow? Didnt think so.
Apple, Tesla and Glock fanboys are insufferable.
@@pwn3426 u carry a cz shadow? You’d look sorta goofy carrying that thing around . cool gun nice for shooting competition and Even a gun fight but it’s not a 500$ general purpose sorta gun.
One reason is we are tired of hearing glock, glock, glock, glock, lets compare everything to a glock even a cross bow🤨
Maybe because most polymer Stryker fired semi auto handguns are modeled after glocks. Either is a cheap alternative to glock or is a gun designer around glock "flaws".
Absolutely. I don't like Glocks, but I don't hate them. I hate Glock fanboys.
A Glock has a larger magazine capacity then a crossbow 😂
@@user-yx7kj1nl4m lol and the Glock was modeled after tge HK VP70 , SO what's your point? We are way past the point where Glock is the only reliable Polymer Framed striker fired handgun , 33 years have passed since the Glock 17's release, and within that block of time there are plenty of handguns that have releases that are either as good or better. In the end it's less hate towards the gin itself and more hate towards the annoying Glock suckers.
@@tupacshakur1568lol crossbow doesn't have a magazine.
I thought that it was all hype. How could a gun that simple be so amazing. Well when I got my Glock 19 and took it to the range I see what everyone is talking about. Love my Glock.
I don't hate Glocks, I hate the tactical elitist who own Glocks.
While I completely understand what your saying it has been my experience that 1911 guys are the most guilty of elitism. I recently bought another Glock and I could tell by the attitude of the salesman that he was not a fan of Glocks. He displayed an arrogant attitude and almost a disgust for Glock. I have been treated that way many times by Glock haters (usually 1911 lovers) just in conversations with gun store clerks and people I run into randomly. I hate being treated like I'm an idiot and don't know what a real gun is just because I like Glocks...with that being said I'm also disgusted by the elitist Glock only crowd who looks down on non Glock carriers and I refuse to treat people that way.
Joseph Haurik oh I agree I put 1911 elitist in the same vain as glock elitist. I get shit from both because I don't own either one.
I was Just having this conversation with a guy today. We were joking about brand elitism, he likes Springfield xd's and so do I but as you know it all comes down to personal preference. The same can be said for caliber as well....well at least to a certain extent.
By the way, I wont give you a hard time about not owning a Glock, I'm just glad you own a gun and are therefore able to defend yourself and loved ones.
The caliber debate is one argument I can't stand. I say carry what you are accurate with.
I love my new 6 Glocks, 19, 20, 23, 29, 40, and 43X. Used to be just a Sig and HK dude but lately been really impressed especially with the Gen5’s and Gen4 10mm’s. Great field carry guns, especially after I changed to the McNally trigger for each one.
I’ve had my gen 3 Glock 19 for over 3 years and have put thousands of rounds through it without any issues. Completely stock and it will stay like that forever. I’m looking forward to showing my children my first handgun I bought and show them the technology of a Glock from when I was their age. Even though the technology will most likely be very similar because if it ain’t broke they won’t fix it.
My Glock 17 is the most reliable handgun I've ever owned. Keep in mind I haven't owned a whole lot of handguns. I trust my life with it.
"Pffff, glocks are sooo mainstream."
Is probably the inner though of every glock haters.
Never again! I carry for self-protection only. Someone talked me into putting an aftermarket trigger in my Glock 43. Couple thousand rounds later my pistol on 12/2/2018 with the gun in a holster with the trigger fully covered fell on the floor AND DISCHARGED. Three safety’s failed allowing the accidental discharge (AD). I called the aftermarket trigger manufacturer. He was shocked and drove four hours to my home. He replicated the error many times on an empty chamber. He took the pistol to his shop to understand why it failed. I had him replace the aftermarket trigger with a stock Glock trigger. Glocks are not sexy, but they are reliable. I am 80 and have used weapons for 73 years. That was my first AD.
I’m a new Glock owner...got a good deal on a used Glock 19 Gen 3. So far, I love it. I’ve owned & shot quite a variety of other pistols. The only thing that I shot better right out of the case was a Walther PPQ. So far, I’m very happy. Call me crazy, but I wouldn’t mind a real thumb safety. I heard they were making those for the military bid that they lost to the Sig. I wish they would add a safety option or mod for all their models.
Laus
I like Glock, not crazy about them but I like the smaller Glocks. I respect them, I just hate the fanboys.
I thought you've been going by the Punisher since the 90s man, but good to see you back Frank, if you want to shoot glocks I will love your 1911s lol(if you've seen the movie you'll get it)
Look at military arms channel reliability test for the m&p. Then go look at the reliability test for the glock.
zach smith glock didn't make it past the sand
true, fanboys of brands/calibers are annoying as hell.
Its a plastic witch. Early plastics (1940s) had a bad reputation about breaking. The attitude was maintained up till the 70s. Throw in ONLY one safety and its on the trigger!!
I thought the 9mm Glocks shot sweet. The muzzle flip in ANY bigger caliber turned me off.
I love how simple glocks are
In my opinion Glock is the best hand gun in the world. My grip with Glock is I have never found a model that fits my hand and something called Glock Finger.
I am so impressed with Glock I gave a model 19 to my son as a wedding gift. I wanted him to have the Best.
Barry wearing a Danzig t-shirt! Just an example how cool the man was. You are missed, Barry
Barry has a Danzig shirt on
Hell yeah
+micky hardy and if you wanna find hell me
I was a hater until I stopped being such a slob with my form and until I took alittle time to just slow down and get used to the trigger. Shooting a Glock has made me a better hand gunner in general. Im a Glock conver shooting a Glock Gen4 40 and loving it.
23 and 19 love them
I'm a 1911 guy all the way but if I knew I was about to get into a fight, I'd grab the Glock.
Those words speak a volume my friend.
My hubby has a 17 and a 20. I actually like the glock triggers. I just picked a 19 gen 3 for myself :)
Good vid guys
Barry rockin the Danzig T-shirt.
RIP my man.
I love my G19. My every day carry.
Also, is he wearing a Danzig shirt? F***in sweet!
I don’t like Glock’s because they feel like a 2 x 4 in my hands. Also, sig sauer makes factory high-capacity mags now.
Things have come a long way.
Same, mainly due to the grip angle.
I don’t mind it. 1911 definitely feels better in my hand, but i still like the glock’s grip.
Man I wonder what my cock would feel like in your hands. A soup can? 😂
@@tupacshakur1568 dude! 🤣🤣🤣
@@delta1088 I guess he likes really high bore axis as well with a side of goofy round grip as well LOL.🤣
Jeez... I was wondering when Eric would run outta guns. It’s like a clown handkerchief lol.
If the older guy has been shooting Glocks since 1985 he was never a "Glock hater" as he claims. "According to company literature, the first Glock pistols imported into the U.S. came in January of 1986." What did he do, go to another country to buy it, somehow getting them to sell it to a visiting foreigner, and somehow get it back through customs? Doesn't sound like a Glock hater to me.
Glocks were still obscure enough even in 1990 that the makers of Die Hard 2 thought they could get away with calling a Glock 17 a "Glock 7", claiming it was German, made of "porcelain", couldn't be detected by airport x-ray machines, and cost more than an airport cop made in a month.
MaximRecoil I said the same thing out loud
MaximRecoil
he could've been shooting them n not like them and took him awhile to get used to them? in those days only one gun. an H&K had an 18 round Mag and it was VERY expensive. a Glock had 17+1 rounds for about $390 back then. I think that in itself might have been enough to still shoot a Glock while hating it.
MaximRecoil I was wondering if anyone else remembers the Die Hard part :)
Occam's razor: he probably misspoke and meant 1995.
I don't have a problem with Glocks, they're just not my favorite.
here from 2020 with a glock 43x and a 15 round steel shield arms mag. its pretty much a slim, light, and smaller version of my g19. and it just works, always. over 2000 rounds and not a single malfunction. may not be pretty as a 1911, but it was a hell of a lot cheaper, and its higher capacity and small enough to carry every single place i go.
I don't own one because I don't find them aesthetically pleasing. However, I don't hate them because of that. I just, as a consumer, want to buy what I want to buy -- I like what I like. I may buy a Glock in the future, but for now I'm okay without one. I do, however, agree with some of the other comments in that Glock Fanboys are annoying. It's okay to like a brand or product and not judge others for not liking it just as it's okay to not like them and not judge someone for enjoying them. Either way, I miss Barry and I thank God Eric is still doing this stuff.
plenty of pistols now days are as good as a glock but with better ergonomics and even better triggers. Walther for one has better triggers and ergonomic and just as reliable.
@VitalyMack - I’m a Walther fanboy and agree with your opinion. That being said, my buddy owns several Glocks and he swears by them.
"Just as guuud"
I seen a bran new walther not work first try at the range and the guy says “that’s why I only carry a Glock” and I was trying to convince him that any gun can have issues from the factory and we argued. A year later he bought a Glock that didn’t work bran new out the box and I said “that’s why I only carry a walther”
@@theykilledjoel1496 lol, Glock fanboys are like a cult. Its just an oldest production plastic gun made...and hadn't been updated once. By the way I like Glocks and carry one, but it is what it is. Hate it when you buy a Glock you have to buy upgrades for it in order to bring it up to date with other manufacturers.
VitalyMack agreed I have flocks no hate to them, and 100% Glock fanboys are like a cult lol
glocks are fine, its the owners, just like prius owners,this obviously isnt to say all glock owners are douches, we call them glocksuckers, but a great ammount of glock owners are convinced the glock is the only pistol that will work and bash any other gun made
I prefer glock-tard, but yes you are correct, I went for an M&P just because I didn't want to be one
Really Sarge see i feel its the other way around glock been the black sheep forever!! Its the 1911 crew thats the die hard douches....
***** nah, I went to a glock get together one time, I wanted to bash my own head in with a rock, the biggest congregation of douchers known to man, oh and fyi, im not a 1911 or glock fan
LMAO i hear man!!
Travis Bickle it's childish not to buy a pistol just because you're afraid some other childish idiot will call you a name.
I know this is an old video, but FREAKIN AWESOME SHIRT MAN!
I've carried a gen3 Glock22 for a year and I absolutely love it. Got me. Tho I did pick up a Taurus G2S a few days ago to see if a smaller gun is a bit more comfortable for me being a smaller guy. Loved the videos!
Glocks have their place. So do Sigs and CZs and HKs and Berettas (;
And S&W and FN and Steyr and and and...
And DeWalt and Makita.
CZ 75 is my gun, Why? Don't have a real logical reason but the gun you have will always beat the one you don't.
Its not Glocks, its Glock fanboys and fangirls whom treat you or talk down to you if you are not part of their Austrian wonder gun
Damn you evil empire. You got me again.
So just like AK, Katana or Honda Civic fanboys
@@MilesTraveler exactly
I almost spill my coffee when Eric started taking out the glocks. 😀
I forgot about that part! 🤣
Law Enforcement Officer (Retired 33 Years) - Glock made me a fan when my agency issued Glock Pistols. Before that I had issued Smith & Wesson (357 Revolver) then (659 9mm Pistol) which I thought were good pistols until I was Issued and Trained with a Glock. LEO Training every year you shoot for a full day (My Case 12 Hours) - Qualifications, Steel Plates, Scenarios, Malfunction Drills. I will say my few issued Glocks (G22's in Gen 2, 3, 4) over the years I never had a malfunction and that Made Me a True Believer in Glock. Most people will never shoot a pistol that many rounds like Law Enforcement Officers so they have No Idea how reliable a Glock can be....Just the Ammo Cost alone will prevent it. Glock Pistols to me are the BEST and that's why Law Enforcement Agencies (65 Percent) Issue Glock Pistols. Plus Safety Trigger System.
Some people hate glock cause it's a pretty shitty pistol in Counter Strike.
Probably mainly that haha
ironic, since the cs glock doesn't even exist XD
no, the glock in cs:go doesn't exist, there has never been a glock with burst fire, period.
I am very much aware of the G18's existance.
I don't hate Glocks, I dislike them. Grip angle, corrected w/ Gen 4, OK. Blocky, grip to fat BUT if I was allowed only one rifle and handgun it would be an AK47 and a Glock 19 . I went to the armorers school, the instructor had a POS 19 that looked like someone had taken a hammer to it. He had us move out to the parking lot, tied it to the bumper of his car and drove around for a few laps, the abuse finally stopped when the trigger guard broke. We returned to the inside range, tore it down and inspected it and reassembled it with the original parts and fired it .................... 'nuff said.
Love this guy, his show is the best darn gun show on you tube. Just the facts and puts up or shuts up. Informative and entertaining.
Before I carried a Glock every day for work I hated the things because they were so popular. I figured I had to hate anything that was that popular as a Glock. But after working with Glocks around my County with Transit Security since 2015 I have come to love my Glock.
Like the Danzig shirt.
I absolutely love my CZ97b 45.
looks, feels and works exactly how I would want and expect a pistol to function.
I like what u said about hick being a tool. I use mine as a tool I have an old gen 2 I bought at a pawn shop that just stays in my truck it works everytime I. Shoot it and that’s it I just use it as a tool and it does the job fine I have other hand guns for fun and looks but it’s hard to beat the practicality of a glock
My 17 has me set right, but it is hard not to like other 9 polymer pistols more with more comfortable grips and better aesthetics, but I do not miss and I never have a malfunction with my 17
It's not so much Glocks as it is the "Glock dudes".
OH YOU'RE SHOOTING AN XYZ? AWW DUDE TRY A GLOCK.
LOVE MY GLOCK BRO. SUPER TIGHT GROUPS BRO.
BRO BRO BRO.
Ur asian, fuck off
Chris R Aww, have we here a butt hurt Glock Bro? For your sake, I sure hope that you're not serious.
If you are, then Glock Bros are even easier to tweak than I ever thought possible. You've done gone and proved mah point, son. And thank you right kindly.
Hahaha bro bro brooooooo
I liken comparing a Glock and 1911 to comparing a sexy redhead to a sexy blonde. I am not going to complain about having either in my hand! Have a nice day!
good on you to compare the blonde with the 1911, because she dumb as fuck and she aint reliable but she sure is pretty though, and we love her for just that reason.
oof! dang! got a wee problem with blondes I see. Yeesh! What was her name? Where does she live and whats she look like? Just so I know if I ever meet her to run the other way! LOL!
NO!!! the Beretta is the sexy redhead, the Sig is the sexy blonde, the Glock is the ugly brunette who won't make a scene during the family thanksgiving dinner but you wind up divorcing because she can't keep the lead in the pencil hate on the bitchy blondes and redheads all you want, but you stay up at night thinking about them, not the brunette who winds up taking you for everything in the divorce anyway but with less fun times to counterbalance it.
mk45gunnr you men having my hand in either* lol
Here in 2022... Barry is still teaching and giving great opinion from beyond his mansion in heaven... R.I.P. brother your message is still helping the 2A community here in 2022..
If you want it to be pretty, you can do a stipple job on it and a colored pin and controls kit. Matching mag drop button. Nice little custom slide back plates. You can do slide cuts, slide refinish and engravings. Mag baseplates. Magazine wells. Custom Trigger.There’s not a thing you can’t upgrade on it if you don’t like something about it. Looks or function.
I don't hate glocks, I hate the Glock fan club. I'm embarrassed to admit I carry a Glock in some company Cuz the glocktards give the rest of us a bad name. If people would admit there are other guns out there I think people would hate "Glock culture" a little less.
diggin the danzig and cash shirts
At the local range there is a Glock 19 in the rental case that the owner says has seen more use than a hooker in a Tajuna whorehouese and one of their most popular rentals and after years of just routine maintenance and countless thousands of rounds still works like a charm. Glocks aren't the only good gun out there but they are one the them.
My co-worker at work told me that his son went fishing and caught a glock 19 on his line, took it home cleaned it up and put 500 rounds though it with no problem then turned it into the police to see if it was hot....
I have never been of the opinion that one has to find a gun that fits them or their hand perfectly. I have always thought one should just get used to and become proficient with what they have or what works well. I was not used to the way my first Glock felt in my hand but I adapted myself to it. I'm not a Glock fanboy but more of a Glock platform fan, specifically the mags and other guns that use Glock mags.
I have always said ergonomics are the last thing that will matter in a real struggle. Reliability is what will matter.
The problem is people act like u can’t upgrade a firearm and retain reliability it may cost more but it can be done
Just bought my first Glock. actually, I bought two glocks lol. I got a g43 and a 17. I am very impressed
I want two G43s, halfway there
I have a glock 35! Love it!! Had it for 15 years
Love my gen 3 26....only glock I own!
Also love my M&P 9c !
It's all about having a gun that will work when needed...fortunately I have 2 9s that fit that bill!
As of 2015, Glock fanboys are far more annoying. They go out of their way to comment on 1911 videos saying they're trash, outdated, etc. I don't see many 1911 or SIG people doing the reverse.
That's kinda lame to say 1911 are outdated man you must of had some mean glock fanboys comment.
You have no idea. I'm watching a video about the Arsenal Strike One (a very cool Russian striker-fired pistol) and they are in full force. UGH I'LL STICK WITH MY GLOCK THANK YOU VERY MUCH
i mean i'm a Glock fan but i'm not one to trash other guns...have loads of respect for the 1911 etc.
I see it all the time. People that hate Glocks generally are 1911 or Sig lovers. I see nothing wrong with 1911's. Although I have heard it takes some tweaking to get them to run properly. I have no first hand experience with them so don't know how true that is. My issue with them is limited mag capacity. Anyone who says "shooting twice is stupid" has never been in a gun fight.
+The Tokinjoo I guess you've heard the term double tap...
Here in Germany we said, when you can't shoot a Glock well, then you will hate them. Are you a good shooter with the Glock, you love them. That's it. 😊
....you mean after you drop 600$ on aftermarket parts.
Absolutely love that Barry has on a Danzig tshirt! RIP will always be missed
Lots of comments about Barry's shirt, and no one has said anything about the country music legend Johnny Cash shirt Eric has on. Nice shirt Eric. About the topic of the video, I really like my Glocks. Always faithful and goes everywhere with me. I've owned different Glocks over the years and I always shoot quality ammo, with that being said I can't remember ever having a malfunction with any of them. And I'm not just a Glock fan, I own many different brands of hand guns such as Springfield Armory, Smith & Wesson, Kimber, Colt and Ruger. They are all good guns.
I admit it. I was a GLOCK hater. but now ,I want the government to recognize my marriage to my beloved GLOCK. it's old and rusty but still so trusty.
THAT is what people hate about glock. The fanboy effect.
Let's be honest, the only people who hate Glocks are those that want to be "different" or "unique". They hate Glocks because of their popularity. There are no other guns out there as practical and easy to use/maintain as Glocks. Period.
Yeah there are a bunch of rebels that will like the opposite of whatever is "mainstream". Oh well, personality flaws don't put rounds on target!

No issues with a SIG what so ever. I really like the 226 and 229. The way I view it is SIG's and Glock's are Apples and Oranges that compliment each other nicely. If I was forced to carry any kind of SIG I wouldn't complain just like if I was forced to carry any kind of Glock I wouldn't complain (except maybe some of the super small and low capacity models for duty carry). Been itching to shoot a 229 in .357SIG lately!

Yeah its further down in the future. Side note: I was playing with a 226 today and was reminded of how ergonomic it was. Sadly I don't have $1000 just for a handgun! In a few years I'll probably get a 229 though.

You mean nicer than a Glock or what? Either way I like both SIG and Glock grips, I don't find one to be better than the other, they are both nice for me.
Couldn't have been said better , I absolutely agree ! It's the conformity that people hate .. And I notice a lot of racists HATE glocks because they are popular among gang members and black neighborhoods and just young people today . I don't think glocks are a favorite of anyone but people who know a good fucking gun
My grandfather was issued a 1911 when he shipped out to World War II. It was made in 1915 according to the serial number. When he was discharged from the Army he was allowed to keep the pistol. It was passed down to my mother, and then to me. It has had at least 4 million rounds fired through it over the years. It still works with a worn out barrel and I still have it. I just ordered a brand new Glock 41 and am very excited! Time will tell and if Glock is still around in 2121 maybe my grandson will compare notes. I love both the 1911 and the Glock.
4 million rounds? Even Call of Duty 1911s haven't been fired 4 million times
one thing people might not think of..
i carry a glock 30s daily with a stock trigger and a C-5 light. i was struck by a car on my motorcycle while it was on my side. it tore up the side of the mag, ground the side of my holster down, and it was the initial impact point when i hit the ground (with enough force to knock me out btw)
not only is it the same gun on my side to this day, but it didn't discharge in that crash. even if i'm dead on the ground my #1 priority is not accidentally blowing someone away.
i love my 1911 and it's far more enjoyable to shoot, but i'll carry a glock for the rest of my life.
Glock's Rule!
I love my G21 and you'll have to pull it from my "cold dead hands" for me to EVER switch!
The only thing about Glock that was uncomfortable was my knuckle rubbing on the trigger guard. Other than that my Gen 4 Glock 30 shot great. I sold it but I want to buy another. I'm more of a CZ guy but you gotta have a Glock in your gun collection.
I used to hate glocks because I could get a XD fpr $300 but the glock was about $490. Years later I rented a glock 17 and 19 and could never go back to the sprindfield trigger or the BS ergo of the XD. I traded up to a glock 19 less than a month later. I ain't neva goin back
I've had a Glock since the late 80s and I still carry it over everything else! Great video about a great gun! Good job guys!
Just curious how long have you had that same gun and does it still run?? 😄
Sig, Ruger, and Glock. I love them all equally. That being said, the glock 26 is my daily carry.
My yearly rewatch you look so young.... long live the awesome that was Barry. Thanks for the info and the memories y'all.
I was a Glock hater until I shot one. At this time I have owned 12 different Glocks and currently own six of them. They all worked. What more could you ask.
Glock: Reliablility of the AK, Customizability of the AR. Only wusses complain about the grip. My hands are medium and the big Glock 20 fits fine.
+FlyTour69 i don't like plastic on guns. I would still use them I love Glocks and everything but nothing like an old 1911
+David Mendez -- I don't guns with a 500 round break in period before you can expect it to function correctly.
grip angle can mean the difference between hitting a target or not in a fast draw and shoot scenario.
+james ozment 😂😂😂😂
+The Bluesman I'm pretty sure every gun maker puts some kind of "break in period" in their manual. It's smart to put at least 500 rounds through ANY gun you're going to have your life depend on. Expecting ANY gun to come out of the box and be ready to go into combat is kind of ridiculous. Sure, you'll get some that come out of the box and never break. You'll also get some that come out of the box with factory defects, that will never function properly until sent back for repairs. This applies to any gun manufacturer.
I own every glock, even some extra ones. You are not glock fanboys. Are you Austrian? I am.
Working my way through all these old gun gripe videos. It seems like there was a lot of casual and unsafe gun handling in this video which I found really surprising given earlier videos in the series.
I love the way the Glock looks. I love the trigger pull, even as a Californian. I love how simple it is, how reliable it is, how sleek it looks, and how unobtrusive and quiet the design is.
The contours on the grip, though, bruise the webbing on my thumb like no other gun.
"Why do people hate Glocks?"
Because they're wrong.
I love my early gen 3 glock 22
“Besides the grip, the trigger, and the sights there’s really no reason to hate a Glock”. After all these years, that still cracks me up.
Barry rocking the Danzig shirt like a boss!
