No lie, l went through about the same journey. Started with a gen1 m&p just to be different, later bought a gen4 glock19 then i thought it would be easier to carry 26 but it never took. I later sold the gen4 and bought a gen5 19 mos, installed a rmr and bought a custom t1 concealment holster. I am now completely hooked and can not bring myself to carry anything else. I have no carry rotation, it is just the glock 19 every day.
Have you observed any rust issues with the removable plate for the red dot?
@@Sam-mu5xhif you oiled the cut out and the adapter plate, you shouldn’t get any rust
I’m so glad the gen5 MOS was my first ever purchase. Great video.
I started out with big revolvers, the 1911, then Desert Eagle, and whatever suited my fancy at the time; but after seriously getting into guns how they work and shooting I got a Glock 27 and after learning the simplicity of the Glock design and realizing it has 3 internal safties I was hooked and years later I own many Glocks. My favorite carry right now is the 48 MOS but nightstand is the 19X .
I've always liked & owned Glocks until a few years ago (4) then I started listening to every Body about try this brand or that brand and I did. I tried Smith and Wesson, Sig Sauer, Springfield....I really liked the Springfield until it wouldn't load my favorite Self Defense ammo reliable so I ended up going full circle back to Glocks. I've got a 43x mos with a Red-Dot, 48, and a 19 ...so I'm a Glock fan boy I guess 🤪
I think a lot of us have that path lol. Started with a G27, 5 years later and every major manufacturer, G20.5 or G45 mos are my carry.
Well you didn’t try CZ. That’s why you went back 😉
Yep. Springfield have issues. Too risky.
Carried a G26 for a year. Sold it for a P365. Carried that for 3 years. Now I just want a Glock again.
Glock is a King!
I was the same. I was so anti Glock but it happened to be one my favorites.😅
I went from CZ p10c to a Staccato P and then finally settled on a Glock 19 gen 5 which I hated on since the beginning lol
Very awesome. Ever since my first experience with the Glock I've been a fan. Great review and video.
I absolutely love to see a new convert to the world of Block. A 26, a 19, and a 17/21L/34 is the perfect set to have on hand. I also have the 43 and 43X, because I didn't want any lil' Block babies getting left out. I also did the 30, 21, 41. But seriously, it is perfectly fine to say I drank the
KOOL-AID. A Block is a Block, and you'll either love them or hate them. But you'll never know until you shoot one. Your set is very close to mine, so have fun, and don't shoot your eye out. 😉😊
Glock & Not Block, lol...
@jeffadams9807 Sorry, just my term of endearment. 😉
I've owned a few Glocks for years and you can run the Stock Glock Sights with no issues if you take care of your weapon. I've been down the road of Micro 9mm and different Brands of pistols. I'm now doing a full circle back to the Glock family and I'm Loving it...currently I own a Glock G43x Mos With out a red dot...coming soon a G19 & G26 Gen 5
Ive had the 26 gen 5 for a while now and am looking at getting the 19 gen 5. Was going to get the 43 or 43x. Only thing was i hate the slim grip guns. I can just never shoot them correctly no matter how many rounds i put through them.
Owned Glocks since the early 90's, G17, G19, G20, G21. For many years, Glocks were the only pistols I owned except for a couple 1911's. Approx. 12+ years ago, I wanted to try the M&P, so I purchased a full size 9mm, then another, then a 45acp and more. After several years of shooting the M&P, with the first 2 full size 1.0 having well over 10k rounds each of mostly steel case ammo, and never replaced a part, no issues with any of the M&P's, I no longer care to shoot the Glocks. I like the full size pistols but the M&P 4" compact is like the G19, just seems to be the perfect size.
I can say of all the pistols I have owned and do own, only one of them completely stopped and luckily it was on the range and not in a defense situation. A gen 4 G19 (with less than 400 rounds through it). Within 2 shots, the trigger went from the standard 5.5+ lbs glock trigger to completely bound up. Took it apart to find excess plastic on the striker spring cups which appeared to be left on after coming out of the mold. The excess plastic caused the striker to bind up in the striker sleeve and stopped the gun. After replacing the spring cups and striker sleeve, the gun ran great. But, a $0.02 plastic part completely stopped so-called "perfection". That made me decide to never purchase another Glock. I will stick with the M&P which is as reliable as a Glock.
Yeah I have to say the M&P line is pretty solid. If a new shooter was asking which to pick between the two I just might send them that direction. Especially from a value standpoint.
Yes, the M&P 2.0 is a reliable weapon but doesn't have the proven track record of the Glock...but I would trust my life with the M&P 2.0
We want the 19 vs 45 vs 17 vs 47 comparison video!
Great overview of your experiences with the gun and Glock in general
My first FA ever.. G19 Gen5 MoS FS. Love it
I never wanted to like them…..but now I can’t live without my 19
They are great pistols, so much so I bought one myself (G19.5 MOS). It's my 3rd G19 and the Gen 5's are a massive step up from the Gen 4's. That said I see a Glock 23.5 MOS in my near future too, exactly the same platform; just a bigger caliber and my preferred caliber.
Glad you like yours and that you're actually carrying it.
Ive tried a couple brands and i aint blind i know the glock issues but i feel like glock is the only thing i can trust
Glock is the best selling handgun in the world for a reason.
There is a reason that the G19 is the number one best selling handgun of all time. I just traded a friend for his wifes G19 Gen5 Mos, even up for my Sig P365XL. She has very small hands and loved my Sig. So I thought about it and told him if they wanted to trade that I would. He said he was thinking about offering a trade himself, so we traded. I like the G19 better and wanted a handgun I could feel good about owning thru a SHTF situation. What better handgun than the G19 with parts everywhere and Glock durability. Also I can take down a Glock and put it back together in less than 3 minutes. Try that with a P226 or almost any other gun. None better for a field take down and clean and oil or repair. Simplicity and reliability of a Glock
Pull slide back… flip takedown lever… remove slide….. same as most any pistol. The bigger question is why would you ever need to clean or repair your side arm in a hurry?
I’m a big Glock fan, 1911’s also, Gen 5’s my favorite, not a bad thing to admit to liking Glocks and like you I like the G22 in 40, I’m guessing you’re law enforcement so thanks for your service. My last one a 47, it’s my go to IDPA CO pistol, video very well done, such an honest video I subscribed. All the best 👍
I have the G45 with the Holosun SCS MOS, it's low enough to use with stock sights. I've never liked the Glock trigger so I upgraded to an Overwatch Precision poly day trigger kit.
Just wait until you add the performance trigger, you’ll really be in love!

Myself I started off with the Glock 22 for the type of work I do I also own the 42,19,43X, 27,26 the 19 I just took it on the range and love it and it’s going into my carry rotation.
I have glocks and other brands but always come back to glock. As far as the sights they work just fine. I had 40 s&w glocks I have a 9mm glock but I found my favorite glock is the gen 5 glock 21 optic ready
Great video! I’d love to see that comparison video. I love my 19.5 and am considering a 45 mos
I used glock in the early 2000's for work and i bought a couple for my self i left my country for several years and sold them i came back and bought some different brands i had glocks i wanted something different i got a M&P 2.0 compact 4" fde and a CZ P10f also a P09 and a walther PDP long story short i was not 100% happy and i got a 17 gen 5 FS no MOS and i was back in the game i fell again i sold the other ones and now have also a 19x and a 19 mos ordered another 19x and a 45 mos as soon as they arrive ill order another 19 mos
Guns choice is extremely personal many many things are involved in that gun owner relationship glocks work for me i their ergonomics work for me i don't change any internals just a jentra plug and trijicon night sights i plan to install red dots on a couple of them but not my carry G19 I'm old school i don't trust red dots outside a controlled space fogging dust lint water sweat all I've seen get into the emitter i live in the tropics every place has air conditioning humidity outside average 85+ we have rain 9 months of the year so no not for CC here but home defense i will give it a try on the G45 mos
So basically he had to learn to love it due to his line of work. Understandable
Hi, my name is bob and the last time i touched a glock was two minutes ago.
19 mos gen 5 is my favorite
The Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS is the only gun you need to protect your family. Other guns will end up in the safe.
Well I understand the hype now after a few changes and the MOS. Shidd crazy… gotta spend an arm and a leg to rebuild a gun that should already have this upgrades with the gun
He sounds like Mr. Schneebly (Jack Blacks roommate) From the movie "School of Rock".
I have 2 Glocks a G45 and G34, shooting both in competition and shooting reman ammo in both along with steel cased. Only issue is a couple reman had misfeeds in the 34 but maybe at about 1%. Do not need a special barrel.
great explanation of the 19. Thanks!
The rabbit hole is crazy. Feel your pain and pleasure brother
I just came back to my 19.5. Retired my P365 and gonna sell it.
Buying one soon! Will be my second firearm 🔥
I have a 43x and a 48mos and my 19mos gen5 is more comfortable to carry and shoot clear that 19 is the best tactical gun on market .
my EXACT setup, but I roll with a Xiphos V2. Got some frame work done but its bone stock for EDC 🤘
I’m a Smith & Wesson guy,and I tried Glock a few times,and can’t really see the hype.I did try my sister in laws Glock 19,and I kinda am starting to like them.I still enjoy my Shield Plus,and M&P 2.0’more,but I am starting to like them.I might in the future but one,and put some optics on it.Also new sub here,and keep up the great content man!!!!
If I had to pick a platform outside of Glock to commit to it would definitely be M&Ps!
I didn't like mine. But in a SHTF scenario I'll take the Glock over the others.
What's funny is through your trials and tribulations you ended up with the exact same setup I have which I just stumbled into with my first and only handgun lol. I've never owned anything else other than what I have, including the accessories. I guess I got it all right on the first go it seems. I have an early 19 gen 5 (bought it right when they came out) with a tier 1 axis elite, holosun 508t, and inforce APLc. Love all of it, never considered changing the setup. Just my 2 cents, the Holosun blows the RMR out of the water in every way. I've shot both and the Holosun is definitely superior. Clearer glass with much less distortion, better battery tray, solar backup, titanium frame, and auto adjusting brightness.
That’s awesome you got it on the first go! Much cheaper that way… I am a holosun fan as well, I’ve just had the RMR mounted for a while and won’t switch unless I run into issues. Plenty of other holosuns on other stuff though so I trust them. Would probably replace with an EPS carry or 509t if I ever get the notion.
Same here, Gen 3 Glock 19 was my first handgun in 2015 and it's still my only doublestack. I've shot a lot of other "wonder 9s" and none of them made me feel like I was missing anything. Accessories and gear sure, but not a totally different handgun. I had my slide milled for a Delta Point Pro and currently have an X300 Turbo on it. I think its relatively future proof at this point. Looking forward to a lifetime of shooting the perfect handgun
i was the same way not trying to be mainstreen, but watching this i feel like it was mainstream to not be mainstream... anywho i got my second glock within 1 month of owning my first ever glock........
just got my first glock went with the G45 in that satin finish. i put trij sights on it and called it a day
The holoson csc is the best for me on the mos, it dosent need a plate amd can cowitnes with regular sights
I’m definitely a fan of the concept, just in function I was not a huge fan. Dot was super blurred out and I prefer red. If they could do an enclosed SCS red dot I would be all over it.
@@MagDumpGuns
Me To, The SCS Is Perfect
For The G19.5 MOS 9mm...
It’s funny how so many of us guys wanna trash on Glock before giving them a chance. They’re very lightweight guns in comparison to the competition. This is partly because they’re carbon steel instead of stainless, and very minimalistic. I wouldn’t be able to carry something bigger than a 19. I’d have to go smaller, meaning I wouldn’t be able to have a RMR 2 or large pistol red dot. The G19 is still the Goldilocks perfect size. Even the stock gen 5s are good. Grip texturing that’s any rougher would be uncomfortable to conceal carry. People that say you need to replace everything on a Glock haven’t shot that many stock ones.
Nice honda civic
I like the G19 I own a Gen 5 but I prefer my P10C and Canik Elite Combat Executive MUCH MORE
I do wanna try a P10 at some point. The full size in particular.
I love my 19 mos. I use a phlster floodlight.
I love the G19 family and I own other brands and started with a revolver and went into other handguns. I still say buy a Glock, and I'm sure I'll hurt someones feelings but oh well. I still own the G19X and G22 gen 3 and want the G17 gen 3 or gen 5 and yes I own Sigs and Berettas, other than Glock I'd say get a Beretta
I love my gen 5. You picked a awesome choice especially if you're a guy like me who hates finger grooves
Never understood the glock hype. I don’t own them only because the grip shape and angle doesn’t work for me at all….doesn’t point naturally or feel right for me. It could probably be trained out but I don’t want to do that. Ive sent a ton of rounds through every other brand and they all functioned perfectly. It’s just a polymer striker fired pistol… there are a ton… they all run and have strengths and weaknesses. Pick what you shoot best.
@@boognish593 absolutely agree with picking what works best!
Thanks for sharing.
I'm bout to sell my 43X mos and get a 19 mos. I need that capacity.
I wanted to be down so bad. I bought a glock 4x and forced myself to like it. Lol.
That's basically what this video sounds like. 😂😅😂
Essentially yes for the 19. Always loved my full size models and 26 though!
Every XD is sold to a guy who, “just doesn’t want a Glock,” for no logical reason.
Plenty of logical reasons. My main reason is the grip angle of the glock doesn’t work for me. And also the square grip
@@boognish593 superfluous excuses. And validating my point. Run 2 boxes of ammo and you’ll brain will get over the grip angle “issue”. Millions of people run Glocks extremely well with the slight difference in grip angle. It’s a mole hill of an issue. Same with the grip dimensions. The only XDs you will ever see in competitions are from Springfield sponsored shooters. Glocks on the other hand are EVERYWHERE. There is a reason.
Well said and I agree with you!
Really good rundown. You mentioned the grip being a lil' cramped. Have you considered dremeling an undercut on the trigger guard? While I find the factory flared magwell on gen 5's to be perfectly acceptable, an aftermarket magwell could also help gain some room - though it may cause unwanted printing.
If'n ya decide to do a vid comparing Glawks, I'd be keen to hear your thoughts on G19 vs G45 grip height ...namely ease of EDC concerning concealabilty & consistently getting a firm grip (high on the backstrap) during draw stroke. Thanks!
I did an undercut on my Gen 4 19 and didn't feel like it did enough to warrant doing it again on this one. I have considered a magwell. I have an SLR magwell on my 45 and I think on the 19 it would work great to really lock my grip into place.
I own both and prefer the 45 for my large hands. I have tried to love the 19 but I carry it the least. It prints like a full size, but has a cramped grip and holds less rounds. The G45 / TLR7A is my go to for carry and nightstand duty. If concealment is an issue I pack a 26. Nice to have options.
Do you still carry a Glock 22 at work? That's what I am required to carry for my job when outside the facility. That's also part of the reason I'm going to be buying the Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS; they should be similar enough that I can stay in practice with the G19 for when I need to do my requalification for work. And yes, I think I'm going to have a similar light and optic setup on my eventually.
No I don’t anymore. I had an identical g17 to practice with back when I carried the 22 on duty though. Any practice is good but shooting the 9mm definitely doesn’t exactly replicate what you feel/experience with the 40.
They’re good work horse guns but I wouldn’t say great like 2011’s are.
That’s a whole other discussion! 2011s are neat but won’t put up with neglect and abuse like these. Also for an entry level staccato you can buy this g19 and probably 6-7 cases of ammo for the price of the comparable C2. Not completely against the platform, there’s just a lot to consider when going down that road.
Prefer the beight night sights.
How did you find that TLR-7? I have the TLR-8 A and everytime I am shooting the safety light mechanisms activate in a sense that I cannot turn
on the light
Good pistol. Have one myself. M&Ps are still better. Glocks hype is overrated. It’s a decent pistol at best. , mag release , steel sights, lifetime warranty on m&p make it better for the money. Triggers have also always been better. You don’t understand the hype. Your just playing into it. Any pistol can be good if it fits you right. Minus Taurus lol
M&Ps are without a doubt fantastic. I don’t know if I would say a Gen 1 m&p trigger was better than any glock trigger I’ve felt though. I also have to give Glock credit for being the simplest handgun to detail strip, and the availability of holsters and other accessories is unparalleled. Out of the box though I think it’s super hard to beat an M&P 2.0.
I totally agree with you on the beautiful m&p 9mm 2.0, the angle of the handle is at the right angle and the quality is equal or better than glocks in most cases!
Well Glockie On Me😂 , i like blockie. I like my All my glockies, No knockin mee Glockie😂 algo instal bump
Why not get the Holosun SCS???
I was not a huge fan of the SCS. The one I shot didn’t have a very crisp dot and personally I didn’t care for a green dot (vs red). If I was to switch this one out it would be for one of the enclosed emitter options.
'Cause it's made in Chy-na ...duh!
So is your cell phone!!!
Does your zero change if you switch between fmj and hp?
Theoretically yes but not enough that I have noticed or needed to change zero at the distances I shoot (50 yards or less).
How much money you lost selling all the guns just to buy them again
@@luccib7225 we don’t calculate things like that 😂
You need talon grip on the handle
Not actually. That grip texture is magnificent. I’m coming from a gen 3 that had talon grips. This really doesn’t need them.
What sights are those?

optic plate model?
C&H precision “GL-RSH.” It’s the aluminum V4 Mil Leo plate for RMR to MOS mounting.
My Glock 19 is far more accurate than the Glock 17. Don't get me wrong the Glock 17 is a good pistol. But the 19 is King
This not true glock 17 is way more accurate at long distance due to its longer barrel 🤔
Glock 45 is the best of both worlds
