Tactical Considerations fn 509 mid with the 6 moa rmr
@@texasghost6725 in got that review coming .
@Brett Hudson yup sure is.
Glock 19 mos and 45 mos and 17 mos... reason: cuz it’s Glock.
Lol good answer
I like that Glock keeps things simple and reliable in a stock configuration, and basically specializes in one product design. If they want to make it with fewer working parts, with the same reliability, I’d be all for it. Excellent review sir!😎✌️
Very true thanks for watching
G45 is a good gun
Am grateful for your video. You answer all the questions that I had and the ones I never thought to ask. Thank you and have a good day.
Thank you have a good day
Great video my guy. Recently picked one up paired it with an rmr and an X300u great little setup...easily my new favorite glock.
Nice score
A company called chpws makes an amazing optic plate for the mos platform. It even fills that tiny gap in between the front of the rmr and the slide if you’re ocd about that kind of stuff
Oh yeah I have in talks with them right now.
I bought the 34 Gen 5 MOS and my light sits behind the end of the barrel unlike the pistol in your hand. Full size frame and long barrel . I love it.
for sure that long slide flushes the light and makes for a nice flat recoil.
I'm a fan of the g45. Made some small changes from previous gens that have big quality of life improvements and fixed the initial issues I had with the gen5 release models. Still very safe and reliable.
I'd like to see a 17 (or 34) slide with a 19 frame. Maybe bring back the one top finger hump closest to the trigger guard, a slight angle (from the sides toward the center) undercut to help with glock knuckle and a bit of a secondary dimple on the bottom of the trigger guard for support hand index finger. I did the latter two on my 45 and it feels so nice to hold and shoot now.
I would really like to see Glock fix the trigger guard and that glock hump.
@@TacticalConsiderationswhat manufacturer do you prefer over the Glock platform?
My first gun ever bought in 2020 was Gen 5 g19. I then bought HK VP9 and VP9sk and favor that because of the trigger and ability to make the grip smaller with the side panels and back strap. But I’m falling back to the Glock because of the better after market support
The grip feel of the HK is definitely superior in feel
Im just a fan of handguns that have the "midsize" slide but full size grip. I have a 509 tactical and love it. Plus I like how its symmetrical with the slide and grip being the same length
I am as well the full grip and shorter slide is a great mix.
Man....I really like and Appreciate your Knowledge and Content 💪🏾 I look for your Channel to give an open and honest take on firearms and related products. Thanks! We Appreciate all your time in bringing us this information and content. Keep Striving big dawg! Look forward to all your future Vids!
Thanks for that comment. There are lots of choices out there and we all have different needs wants and budgets. Just trying to help people out.
Forward control makes a medal mounting plate for the mos system. Fits perfect with the 507c v2.
👍
Appreciate the vid
It changed my mind from 19mos to 45mos
Keep the great content coming!
Thanks man. I like the 45 over the 19 for sure. 😉
I always loved G19’s for their concealability but the hump on the back strap made them point low for me. I always said that a 19 slide on a 17 frame would be my idea of perfection and when the first G45’s arrived in my buddy’s gun shop, he said you gotta get down here! I played with it for about 45 seconds and it was exactly as I anticipated. A few years and thousands of rounds later, still love it.
The 45 is that right size for me for all around use.
Should’ve picked up a 19x
I’m an armed security officer and i’m going to purchase a Glock 45 MOS for my duty weapon.I am going to mount a red dot optic on it because i am 58 years old and can’t focus on the front sight clearly! I’m also going to mount a light on front.I like the seventeen plus one round capacity of the Glock 45.The red dot optic i’m going to mount is the Trigicon RMR auto adjust with the 6.5 MOA and the light will be a Streamlight TLR7A.
Sounds like a solid set up man. I feel ya on the eyes. I was good till a couple years ago then I got an astigmatism and the optic has helped but I am still fighting not focusing on the front sight alot.
I have a Glock G23. Recently I was turned onto the PSA Dagger, which I like the grip feel better. The Full size S Dagger is the G45 clone. It's my nightstand gun now, but I'm EDCing for the first time today. That G17 grip with a G19 slide - perfect!
The Dagger is really turning out to be a solid pistol.
I've had the Romeo1 Pro for almost a year and it's held up very well so far. No issues with zero, deenergizing while cycling, or emitter changing shape or intensity. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe they're not all bad.
glad its working out for you for sure.
Beautiful set up brother. I’m an iron sight hardo myself. I got a G45 (non mos) that I did a 19X clone in black. Maritime’s, Ameriglo yellow cap front (tritium with day glo square) and low pro serrated tritium rear, oem glock +2’s (3 of em), and lanyard ring, I remove for use lol. Olight Baldr S green ($95) and a “guns and flowers” kydex iwb ($29!!!) all in all a great set up. Got about a thousand rounds through her so far. All on paper or made a “ding”. Haven’t missed yet….haven’t had any malfunctions yet. Cleaned once before using. Cleaned again after 300 rounds to install maritimes. Love my sidearm!
Its a really solid set up man.
I've been carrying the Glock 45 gen 5 mos for about a year now. Dressed with the Holosun SCS and the TLR7-A in the Alien Gear Rapid Force Duty holster. Love the setup and definitely reliable. Thank you for your reviews.
Thanks for sharing glad that combo is working out for ya.
I've been digging my G45 lately for winter EDC. I normally carry a P10C IWB, but have found that the deep beaver tail in the P10C can be tough to consistently grip since I have to work around the sweat guard. I recently tried my G45 in the exact same holster (thanks CZ for making them so similar that they often fit the same holster!) and it's far easier to get an acceptable purchase on. Couple that with the fact that my shot timer says I run a Glock a bit better than a P10 even if it feels less comfortable, and I'm slowly turning into a Glock fanboy.
Bryce it is a great lil set up. I love me some CZ as well. All the tough edc decisions we face lol.
@@TacticalConsiderations Lol, a wonderful problem to have! In my grandpas day all he had was a SAO six shooter, and he had to form his own bullets by squeezing a lead ingot with his bare hands. ;)
Joking aside, thanks a lot for the awesome content. Your channel is quickly becoming a favorite.
@@bryceanderson553 oh man that's old school
Congrats on your channel growing, near 10k now!
Hey thank you . That means a lot .
4 VIDEOS WATCHED ON WHICH ONE TO GO WITH, BETWEEN 17, 19, 19X AND 45. THIS VIDEO IS THE ONE THAT HAD ME. GLOCK 45, OR GLOCK 45 MOS WAS THE WAY TO GO CONSIDERING MY LARGE HANDS. GEN 5 ADD ONS IS JUST A PLUS, KNOWLEDGEABLE DECISION MADE
Awesome enjoy
I have the g45...thanks to Boogeyman Customs it now holds a Holosun 407c green dot optic.
Favorite Glock in my rotation and my EDC...goes bang every time.
Nice. Boogeyman does good work
The 45 mos is the only gen 5 9mm glock I don't own...but lately I've been very interested in getting it just because I don't have it. Using a G34 as my primary duty weapon, G17 & G19 as a secondary and a G26, G48 & G43x for off duty use, I really didn't see a need for the 45 mos. But now thanks to your video, I just might have to get it...Thanks Brother
You definitely have a very wide collection. The 45 for me kind of fits that person it wants one pistol that can fill a bunch of rolls from duty to conceal the carry
I recently installed a Holosun SCS for Glock MOS only. Really happy with it. No suppressor height sights. The Holosun SCS installs directly on the slide without any plates. The serrations on the SCS matches up with the serrations on the G45.
Yup the New SCS design is very cool .. But once that internal battery goes you have to replace the entire optic.
In 10 years @@TacticalConsiderations
Actually, 20 years. 😊 I’m getting one this weekend. Great review!
Awesome video an thanks for the knowledge about the Glock 45 MOS Gen 5 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure thing Jerry. Glad you liked it

I know this comment is old, but I fear messing with my guns especially bedside and edc. What if I had to use it.
I started my EDC with 1911s because I hated the look/feel of glocks. Then I went to (an inherited) Kimber polymer compact and learned to trust polymer framed pistols. While I change my EDC habits from time to time, I always seem to go back to full-sized 9mm and specifically the Austrian variety, especially after learning significant skills in tweaking striker-fired guns and smithing education. The 19X was a novelty interest until I got hands on it and fell in love. I elected to pick up a 45 MOS, Nightstick 850XLS, and a dual illuminated RMR as my sole carry gun and have not been disappointed once. Once I finished the work on my frame and tuned all the movey bits, I've have several people comment on how awesome it is "for a Glock."
moving into Glocks was a mandate for me due to work but I do love my 1911's still and if I could narrow down a 2011 I may carry that at work but I just haven't done it yet.
I’m going to purchase the 43x in mos now that shield arms has the 15 flush and 20 extended. Also holosun got the 507k and streamlight now has the tlr-8ag cc for the small slots!!! Love when a beautiful platform picks up popularity in the aftermarket. That 43x mos with 507k&tlr-8agcc shield arms 15+1. Maybe a SilencerCo barrel for future Osprey2!
The 43x is a great choice. EDC is super easy and its just the right size to not be too small to run quick but not to large to take away ease of carry.
My G45 uses a Streamlight TLR-7, it was my choice because it’s a good light and because it stays alligned with the slider after installation
The Tlr7 is a great choice for this making it a bit more compact for carry and really enough light to work with all around.
Love the Glock 45 one of my current edcs
It is my fav on glocks platform. Glad you are digging yours too.
I love my glock 19. I shoot it better than my other pistols. Like the appeal of the 45. Enjoyed your review
Thanks for watching.. The G45 has a great feel to it for me.
17 gen 5 MOS. Just picked up a 19 gen 5 yesterday. Watching your video the past week or so convince me I needed another one lol.
Well we all need another one right lol. Just one more hit 😂
Try something else, be adventurous
@@texasghost6725 right
My gen 5 19 fits my hand so well, but I’m considering a 45 too. Nice review
Good choice the 45 is my jam.
My G45 was not optic ready but I took it to my local gun smith and had it milled out. Currently have a Holosun 2MOA micro red dot mounted on it. Love it!!!!
Nice, That holosun is really tough to beat.
Tactical Considerations At $229 on Amazon, definitely hard to beat. So far so good and a great EDC option in these cold winter months vs. my G43X.
@@boldie24 yup . 👍
I have 45 and its not MOS but I am very happy with it! I really didnt give having an optic on it any thought at the time but it would be good having that option. I would love to get a DR920.
The G45 is my fav of the Glock line the DR is another level.
I have and love the G45 MOS. It is a smooth shooter for sure. Coupled with a Tier One Elite holster it almost melts away (and Im a little guy 5' 6" maybe) Im looking forward to your new holster review
I have the t1c agis and the Gerber sidkick. I was really surprised by the fit and finish of the Gerber. The t1c is good the gerber is next level clean.
If you don’t mind me asking, how much do you weigh/body fat%? I’m shopping around for a holster and am also 5’ 6” but worried about printing
Had an ejection failure on my first mag, maybe I just had to break it in or something, other then that, I shot about 150 rounds through it with no problems besides the one ejection failure on my first mag, great pistol overall
Well hopefully it was just that 1 round
We just switched from the 13 to the 45 with the Holosun 508T and I love it. Just went through our 3-day transition course and ran about 800 rounds through it.
Nice.
My favorite optic ready pistol is the Canik SFX, hands down. Best out of the box trigger I've ever used. I know many on the YT take issue with the Canik due to it being made in Turkey. I wonder if any of these folks carry an i-phone which is made in factories with suicide nets? LOL Great review on the Glock. I'm not a Glock fan, but I'm no hater either. There's simply no denying their amazing track record, it speaks for itself. Good video.
Man that canik surprised me. Iphone or any cell phone at this point.
@@TacticalConsiderations True!!
Another awesome vid thanks s much the G45 very nice pistol
Thanks eraserr24 I appreciate you watching
My 45 is similarly set up. RMR07, TLR1-HL. Still deciding on sights. So far, I don't feel a need to upgrade anything else.
Yeah I feel the 45 is a really good fit mostly stock, maybe a glock minus connector
I love it, I just switched from the Gen5 G19 to the G45 (non MOS) as my duty weapon and love it. I wanted a handgun that fit in my large hands better but something I didn't have to switch out my duty holster for as they are expensive as well. The G45 answered that for me spectacularly! Granted I could shoot my G19 well I just wanted something that is a bit easier to hang on to. Plus having a couple extra rounds isn't that bad either.
My G19 is also one of the early Gen5 models so it has that annoying half moon cut out which factored into my making the switch. The magazine cut out there always pinched my hands when shooting even with a Pearce grip extension with the half moon filler plug. I also haven't seen any magazine extensions that feature that half moon cut filler so I couldn't add on any mag extensions (I could but again I want that there to reduce the pinching I get) to the gun.
So the G45 again was the perfect answer to my problem and couldn't be happier because it gives me the longer grip with no half moon cut out, and I can add mag extensions to my mags for additional rounds in the gun.
Glad it's working for your needs. That half moon cutout sucks
@@TacticalConsiderations It does, I love the feel of it too, my only issue with it is that the front slide serrations rub on my Safariland holster a bit when holstering or unholstering.
Yeah that is true
@@TacticalConsiderations Were you able to find a work around for that or no?
No that is just the nature of having front serrations
I just bought a G45 MOS, love it!
Nice.
I enjoyed watching this quality video. Outstanding review and very informative for anyone looking to purchase a Glock45.
I really appreciate that.
Then again, tiny subtle changes might be a conservative corporate philosophy. Like you said about the ease of optaining parts, simple disassembly. It's the ol reliable VW beetle product. Glock banks on tradition, stuck in 1982. The 19X and 45 are fresh. Glock should steal Walther's ergonomics engineer away. Can you imagine a Glock in PDP clothing ?
I retired from Colt Connecticut to Live Free then Die New Hampshire. I'd be in heaven before death if CZ and Walther moved into the Sig building.🤣.
Loving your presentations.
Mature, sober, mature, calm.
💥☮️🇺🇲👍👍
My daily conceal and carry is a Glock 45 MOS. I have a similar set up but with some slight changes. I use Trijicon suppressor height night sights, a Trijicon RMR Type 2 adjustable LED MOS red dot mounted on a C&H Precision Weapons System V4 Defender plate, and a Surefire X400 Ultra laser/light mounted under the barrel. I use the green laser and the 1,000 lumen light. The ammo that I carry is the Underwood Xtreme Defender 90 grain +P ammo and use a High Threat Concealment IWB Spektre kydex holster and Pitbull Tactical IWB/OWB universal magazine carriers.
The department that I work for uses Glock 22 handguns. I’ve been with them for 13 1/2 years and from training with Glocks both off and on duty, I shoot them much better than any other gun. I also have the most muscle memory with sight and target/threat acquisition and have come to really trust those guns far more than any other gun that I own.
There are other guns that I like and own and some do have certain features that are better than some of the features on Glocks but in my opinion and from my observations and personal experiences, Glocks have the best consistency with making guns that have the most reliability, longevity and durability. And to me, those are the most important things to have in a gun. Especially your every day conceal and carry gun.
The c&h plates are nice . I'd be carrying that but its not approved
Tactical Considerations, I plan on doing some extensive testing on mine. I’ll let you know how mine performs. From everything I see, I anticipate it performing flawless. If it does and my results are able to help out, I wouldn’t mind sharing my data with you to give to your department, to see if they would reconsider allowing them?
I appreciate that but i have had the test versions since design phase . They are far superior than glock factory plates but its an insurance thing is why they are not authorized .
My hand fits perfectly snug with the SLR magwell on my 19mos. I have a half inch of space on my G45 to the magwell, so it causes me to get a low misgrip sometimes. It keeps me carrying the 19 but they are both great.
Its all about the hand size man. The 17 grip with the slr is perfect for me but my hands are on loan from a gorilla. lol
@@TacticalConsiderations lol. Yep.
I shoot a Gen 5 this last week and I’m pretty impressed with it. Probably picking up a 45 this week if I can find one.
Would you recommend using a minus connector in the Gen 5?
Honestly clean it up polish out the trigger group and connector then run rounds through it while its well lubed and see if you like it after a few range sessions before spending that hard earned cash.
You’re friggin amazing with take downs.
Glad you like them Andrew.
I just purchased a 45 MOS. Being shipped can’t wait to hold it and run it stock
Awesome hope you enjoy
Nice work with this. Clean review.
Much appreciated.
Another Great review! Thank you
Thanks for watching the 45 is 1 of my favourites
Good video. But I like the G17’s length better for an on-duty gun. But that’s just me. Everybody has to get what they like, not what someone else likes. With the 17, I love it’s Longer sight radius and the fact that it shoots a little softer with better felt recoil than a G45.
Nothing wrong with that.
It is good gun indeed, and yours are quite perfect setup 👍👍👍
Much appreciated.
This may be kinda late but I don’t know if your agency approves aftermarket plates but if they do I’d recommend changing to the forward control designs opfg rmr plate. Way more reliable than the factory plate
They don't I use CH precision on sll my personal stuff
The hump adds to the aesthetic beauty of the gun… it’s about looks!!! Geesh!!
ahahahah Well hips on women yes on guns no.
@@TacticalConsiderations loll I just love the minimalist Beauty of my Glock 45.. I appreciate ur reviews 🙏🏽
Until you mentioned it I never paid attention to the grip angle. The grip angle in my opinion is like revolvers that don't have actual sights. I love the G45 mos. Best Glock ever in my opinion. By the way I use the medium curved backstrap. Helps with maintaining my grip with mag changes. I took a pair of scissors and cut it in half. Do the same and you can use your flared magwell.
If you started or mostly run glocks the angles feel normal. I started on things like the 1911 so the glock angles for me never felt right I was always forcing the pistol into position.
@@TacticalConsiderations I didn't know glock grip angles was a thing until I started watching your videos. The grip angle is negligible with a red dot tho
I have one and love it. It shoots great
Thanks for watching.
Great video...I just recently purchased the Glock 45 MOS and I love it so far. Just curious what optic you have on the one in this video?
Awesome that is the RMR.
I'm a little behind in times but I just got a G45. I bought it used and pre-tricked out. It's a really fun gun to shoot. No complaints about it at all but I would prefer upgraded night sites. Love your review! thank you for your service!
Nothing wrong with what you got man. These are very relevant.
ameriglo bold sights for sure.
Very fortunate they allow you an optic for duty carry. Stay well and stay safe. Thank you for the video.
Many are going that way now
@@TacticalConsiderations And rightly so. Teaches kids to focus on target first instead of the front sight. In my humble opinion. Just an old Jew. Still alive though :-).
Be scared or old dangerous men lol they stood the test of time and adversary
@@TacticalConsiderations Would love to see a part two video shooting weak hand and possibly a weak eye/post injury. Hope it never happens to you!! Anybody who says stance does not need to change when shooting irons weak hand and/or with an eye damage (non dominant eye)... RDS takes care of that in my humble opinion. Much safer. Maybe we are just getting old and paranoid. :-). Stay well!
I have a bunch of stuff in line all a matter of time now .
Now thats a great looking gun.
its simple clean and effective no frills
Great content!!! Upgrading my duty weapon to a G45 MOS so this video was perfect. Question for you, I’ve been reading that you have to install the Trijicon RMR mounting kit with the Glock base plate, what’s your opinion on that
You want a sealing plate for sure on the RMR brand optic.
@Tactical Considerations if you would only pick one would you go with a Glock 45 or the Shadow Systems XR920? Thank you for the great content!
XR920 all day.
I own a few Glocks. All of them are reliable and I can shoot them decent enough to get the job done. My G45 is my favorite of the Glock line I own, and the addition of the Streamlight TLR-3 is excellent tool for low light work. Thanks for the G45 love. (:
The 45 is a solid model on the lineup for sure. Its the one I prefer .
I finally got my Glock 45 MOS today. So far I love shooting it, but don't have a red dot on it yet. Is there a red dot that will co-witness with the glock sites they come with or do you have to get new sites? Great review.
Glad you are enjoying it unfortunately unless you got suppressor height sites you will need to buy new ones
I come to this channel for great all around shooting and gun information.
I really appreciate that.
Excellent set up and my next glockventure. Aluminum mag release, Q. Are you seeing any deformation in the factory mag detents that contact the mag release? The glock OEM is a softer material than the magazines so that the release does not damage those detents. I also do not like the factory mag release, but also do not want to start chewing up my mags.
Metal mag releases will always over time wear on mags ..
I want this exact setup. So far I have the TLR-1
well Hopefully you can get it soon.
Great video and info! Love my Glock 45. Don't have the MOS version. Maybe down the road I'll go with the 19 MOS. Are you in Arizona? Where do you shoot? I've been looking for a place to shoot!
Glad you liked the video. Yeah I am an AZ guy. We have a tom of blm land to shoot in from north north Phoenix, casa grande , east valley by saguaro lake .
Good review, yet again! :)
Appreciate that. Its a great duty rig.
I'm gonna get a standard g45 and have C&H precision mill it for the 507C. I heard that some people have installed too long screws on plate and screwed up their mos.
CH plates come with the screws so there shouldn't be an issue.
Perfect duty gun, reliable, trustworthy, dependable. There’s a reason is a widely used platform for Leo work, security, contractors, military, etc.
That and they practically give them away to agencies.
That’s my favorite, Glock 45 gen5! Perfect pistol for concealed carry and vehicle carry. Great for home defense and range target shooting.👍
Is a great choice.
I love my G45 MOS that’s my issued duty weapon also. I want to buy another one for myself.
Its a great pistol.
Great video. Where did you get your holster from. Trying to find one that accommodate lights are a bit more challenging these days
Duty rig is a safariland in this video but Id go with Alien gear rapid duty or maybe comptac over that now a days. CCW rig Tier 1 is who I roll with mostly.
Great video. Lots of excellent information, and solid opinions. I don’t agree with all of them but I respect your positions. I like me some Glock jump. 👍 Take care.
Do you know if it’s possible to put the MOS slide on the G19 (Gen 5)? PS - your video sold me on the SLR magwell - I’m loving it! I was actually able to modify my medium (beaver tail) backstrap to work with it. God bless the Dremel! ;-)
Awesome man . I haven't tried to dremel my back straps yet. the gen 5 stuff is based on the gen 4 19 locking block so a gen 5 slide will go on a gen 4 frame, but not not the inverse without changing some parts. I am doing a video and testing the G45 and other frames and slides with different stuff in a few weeks. Someone got hold of me and said they did the gen5 slide on a 4 frame and were having feeding issues I have done it but only ran a mag through it to see if it ran. I am going to test more combos 17,19 factory and after market frames pretty soon.
I chose the G45 MOS over the Glock 19x and immediately added night sight and maritime springs. I’m looking to get a Leupold red dot.
I did as well. The 19x needs an optic cut and the ability to use standard mags.
I recently picked up a G45, non-MOS (because I don’t like optics on my guns, I prefer basic iron sights) and shot it for the first time yesterday. Very soft shooting with HST 124-gr +P HP. I’m not as accurate as I am with my Sig P365 X-Macro TacOps, which I attribute to the difference in thickness. I do better with the narrower pistol. But I wanted a Glock, and the 45 is almost perfect. (To make it perfect for me, remove the front slide serrations; I don’t need them, don’t use them, and they make the gun look clunky.)
Glad you are liking it. I get the serrations thing I kinda like them but they are not for everyone.
Awesome video man. Very helpful. Sub’d
Glad you like man. Enjoy the range days 👍
Holosun and Sig optics are made in the same factory and of the same materials if I remember correctly. Don't know I would go with either of them over a Trijicon RMR, but that's just me. Also, wish manufacturer's would slide cut their slides to specific red dots. would be a lot more expensive better overall. To be controversial.... the Glock Hump doesn't bother me, it actually fits my hand pretty great, compared to other options.
Holosun and sig are not made in the same factory. I think 1 or two may have been years ago but that is not the case anymore.
I have the 45 MOS, love it. I am thinking of getting another one, or a 19X because I am not a fan of the 19 anymore in terms of its size. The 45 and 19X fit better in my hand.
Yeah I feel the same it fits better. Just remember on the 19x your other mags won't work due to the grip design.
@@TacticalConsiderations Fully aware of the base plate thing, have owned a 19X, quick fix I have a crap load of gen 4 base plates laying around that fixes that problem. Then all my mags are compatible.
Get a 17, or something else other than Glock.
Texas Ghost actually S&W just solved that, they dropped the new CORE M&P, been waiting for this forever!
I’m upgrading my duty weapon from a Gen 4 17 to a Gen 5 in MOS soon and have really been looking at this 45.
I shot my partners 45 MOS with a viper on it last week and loved it. Dots aren’t new since I carried a P320 RX. What’s your opinion on the two for a duty pistol?
Also have you had any issues with the metal mag release on yours? I want to get one of those as well but keep reading horror stories about them tearing up mags.
I've had no issues with the mag releases beating up mags but I could see after years some wear taking place since its metal on polymer. The 45 would be my duty choice .
Outstanding. Thank you brother. I usually update my gear pretty regularly so I’ll give the mag release and the 45 a go. Stay safe.
@@BradWithAnM No problem man.
Tactical Considerations have you had any hands on experience with the C&H Weaponry MOS mounting plates?
I am testing one now . First impressions very good stuff
Except m&p you have to do the core and finding it in 9mm is hard. That and cz does but doesnt come with any plates that's extra which is crazy you have companies doing it and providing plates at lower cost
Yes but some flat out don't like the glock platform.
What RMR have you found works best when considering the adjustment of intensity.
Holosun 507c
If cost wasn't an option what RMR would you put on your EDC? You mentioned Holosun. I keep hearing they can't take much of a beating.
Hey man watch Sage Dynamics video on the holosun it is about the only one that took the beating close to the RMR from Trijicon. I use the RMR on my EDC/ Work rigs at this time.
Hello, I have a G45 with the Suppressor Ready Sights just like yours and am considering a Red-Dot! The Gun-Shop that I work at prefers Sig Optics but I would need to change the taller sights out and use an adaptor plate to utilize that Romeo Zero Platform. What's your advice and Trijicon on your duty gun? Please advise and Thanks Much, Mike...
I would go with a tridgecon or holosun personally
Have u seen the new gen 5 they all have the FS option and that cutout on magwell is gone
yeah apparently glock got the message people hated the cutout.
Good morning sir, I am thinking about buying another Glock. What would u pick, G45 MOS, G17 GEN5 MOS or G19 X? I have a big doubt!!
Thanks!
what is the big doubt .
Hey Guys, I’m fairly new to handguns. I’d like to know if there is any any tactical disadvantages or advantages to having your flashlight overlap your barrel versus having it fit snug and match up with the barrel?
None really .. Just more light power.
Are use a 43X for cc, I just bought a G45 with ameriglow. I did not go for the MOS, but maybe my next purchase will have optics. Question is for the light for strictly a side arm, is the TL1hl a better way to go then the TL7a for side carry on with a range belt? Thanks
Reggie I use the 43x and 45 for concealed all depend son clothing and stuff. I really like the tlr7a lights they are perfect concealed carry fit. And the new sub tlr7a for the 43x rail is out just need to wait until holster companies catch up.
Great video! What Safariland duty holster would you recommend for this platform?
The glock 19 gen 5 mos fits it perfect.
I like shooting my Glock 45 MOS, going to take your suggestions for light and red dot. Thanks. RLTW!
Its a solid rig for sure. RLTW!
Man, A freaking plus for this whole disassembly! I’m just going to link to this video when I get questions at work about the gen five glocks haha. Also, I’m highly anticipating your video on the holosun red dot. Any idea around when that’ll be? I’m patient, just curious.
Holosun also makes a Green Dot as well as Red Dot. I prefer the green actually. :)
I want two more range trips with it so I can really give it a go. It has me not wanting to buy a trijicon anymore at this point.
I haven't tried the green on the pistol yet tried it on my rifle and I was just so used to red i felt like I was cheating on my rifle lol.
I have it (green dot), on an AR pistol and really like it. Easy to find in daylight for my old man eyes... :)
Aren’t the green dots typically more expensive?
Check out C&H Precision makes a nice plate for the RMR.
I own several CH plates .. But since this was carried at work it could not have an aftermarket plate.
Hey, man! Quick question-- do the screw holes on the slide itself go deep enough that the firing pin spring/extractor spring are exposed? Or is the hole shallow enough that it doesn't expose those internal parts? I'm curious to know because this is the case for the Glock 43x MOS wherein the screw holes penetrate all the way to the extractor spring and people have problems with the screw pinching down on it causing extraction issues. Cheers!
You are not going to get penetration on these plates. The 43x is a bid different.
