    Glock is the Toyota of handguns. Nothing fancy, dependable, reliable, runs forever, and reasonably priced.

      There are many legitimate reasons why glock will continue to be successful but ultimately, most of it has to do with the fact that they have never really competed in the market. “It’s there if you want it, and if not then move on to other product” and I think that’s what ultimately makes Glock successful in the marketplace. People either love that about them, or resent it, but either way is Relevant and beneficial, because Glock is always talked about. And that’s just the marketing part… that doesn’t include real world experience regarding the reliability aspect.

      I used to loathe Glocks without even knowing why. It all started when I was 10, playing Counter-Strike, where they made Glocks as effective as a water gun. Fast forward 25 years, and I found myself diving into the history of Gaston Glock and his legendary creations. Intrigued by the design, trigger build and simplicity, I decided to give it a shot (pun intended) and bought my first Glock 17 Gen 3.
      To say my aim was terrible would be an understatement. Meanwhile, my other handguns performed like champs. I couldn't help but blame everything but myself for my abysmal shooting. Then, I discovered the secret: Glocks demand a specific grip, like a picky eater with an exclusive diet. Once I embraced this unique hold, the transformation was magical.
      Now, my Glock 17 is my favorite, and my Glock 19 Gen 3 has become my trusty everyday carry. From hating to loving, it's been a wild ride with these iconic firearms!

Not to mention Micro 9 pistols that are the peak of innovation right now that Glock still hasn't caught up to.

    Gen X here. The PPQ took me away from all full sized glocks. But I still carry the glock. It use to be the 26 and now the 43x. What Glock did with the 43x is just a beautiful thing. Sigs don't have that familiarity with me. Shields are cool but again, just grew up with Glock. The Hellcat...I can't take the hellcat seriously simply because of the name. The name is ripped off from the dodge charger. Not to mention the technology of the dodge charger was ripped off from The Terminator SVT Cobra Mustang which no one seems to remember. We old people just remember the companies and brand names that revolutionized the tech and designs that changed the world and stubbornly stick with what we know.

    In the early 2000’s I bought my first handgun. The guy at the counter convinced me to try a Springfield XD in 40. It jammed here and there and was alright otherwise. My friend brought his Glock 19 to the range one day-it felt better in my hand. It felt like it was better quality. I shot it better instantly.
    I was instantly hooked, and was also amused at the fact that I could break it down with a punch and add any part that wore out all by myself… Even back then they were a myriad of sites where you could go and get any replacement part you needed for your Glock.
    It was so simple and yet learning to shoot on it and master the trigger was such a complex joy. It wasn’t a gun, it wasn’t a handgun… It was a GLOCK. For me there really only has ever been Glocks, a few 1911s, and revolvers. Yes there might be another semi auto pistol that I like to shoot… But to own?… Why would I?

    Glocks are still VERY relevant and great... they are the "tools" of the gun world. Nothing fancy nothing beautiful, they just go bang and have a very business-like and utilitarian work mood to them. They are the Toyotas of the gun world. Also it does make me feel old thinking that young people just now getting into firearms who were born post 2000 might see Glock as "the old guard." Glocks have become the "old dog" for Gen-Xers and are how 1911s were to the Greatest Generation.

    Glocks are great- they don’t deviate from accuracy, simplicity, and certainly the designs we all know. The truth in my opinion is that gun ownership is subjective, from hand size, to recoil stability to larger or subcompact. I just purchased my first pistol after waiting 14 months to get my NYC CCW permit . I went into the gun shop to buy a glock 26. And despite wanting this gun for years, I walked out with a more expensive shadow systems cr920 war poet.( this gun is a glock 43 clone) This gun felt so much better to me than the 26 and the 365. Again, I firmly believe that not every gun is made equally for every man. If you know, then you know.
    Purely subjective.

    It is the quintessential first handgun.
    It’s basic. Easy to shoot. Easy to maintain. Extensive aftermarket support.
    Yes, the stock trigger is like a DA revolver trigger.
    But learn to manage a DA revolver, everything else is easy.
    Are there better handguns? Yes the “perfect” Glock is probably the CZ P10. It’s essentially a Glock with a lighter, smoother trigger.

    Our Security Teams were standardizing on Glocks, so I found a Glock 22 that was on consignment. It had never been fired by the previous owner, who passed away a couple of weeks after purchasing it. The price was great, and because I could use a drop-in 9mm barrel with proper magazines for the 9mm, it worked perfectly. If I want to go back to a .40 S&W all I need to do is swap out the barrel and use the proper magazines. That is quite versatile for a single platform.

    Yes, love Glock. I have had many handguns since 1993 including Sigs, Ruger, Taurus S&W semi-autos but Glock are the best for me. Regarding revolvers, S&W revolvers are my favorite by far (I have owned Colt, Ruger and Taurus revolvers over the years). Having had many various handguns and sold many back to the dealer, I finally have settled on Glock & S&W for Semi-auto & revolvers.

    I have 4 carry pistols. 3 Sigs and a G19. The P365 and P238 are great for pocket carrying in low risk rural Michigan. The P365XL was going to replace the 19 but I still shoot the Glock better than any of the other pistols I own. I would love to hate my 19 but it has never given me a reason to do so. It’s my best option for church security work.

  • @MackDaddy8154
    @MackDaddy8154 Před 4 dny +2

    Couldn't agree more brother, they're still here and shoot as good as they did back "in the day." Actually better.. Long live the G19, I trust that one with my life. G19.5MOS with a can, light, and optic is my home defense pistol. There are lots of great "plastic fantastic" pistols these days, but Glock is still in the game. God bless you and yours, thanks for all the great content over the years!

  • @ronolson2024

    There is something to be said about Glock reliability. I only own a Glock 20, swapped out the barrel with a KKM barrel, -3.0 Edge connector with a trigger polish job, & Talon grips. I've only shot about 5,000 rds. through it but has never malfunctioned. My P365 & P365XL have been sent back to the factory for repair 3 times - EACH! My Shield Plus has been sent back twice, my Kimber Micro 9 didn't last long before it had to be sent back. My 1st Gen P10C was sent back with firing pin breakages so they sent me back a new 2nd Gen P10C (now tied for my most reliable and best pistol along with the now twice fixed Shield Plus 4" Ported PC model), Ruger replaced my worn out LC9s Pro with a SR9C (now another trusty & reliable companion). They also had to fix my LCP2. I was at my outdoor range (just him & I) where his brand new Glock 19 had so many malfunctions that he too had to send it back to Glock for repair. But I do believe Glock has the least problems of all the gun manufacturers.

    At one time, my employer issued full sized S&W semi-auto pistols and off-duty I carried smaller single-stack version of the same gun. I had my choice of maybe three holsters for each. If you didn't like the feel of the trigger, you might someone to smooth or polish the stock parts and that was it.
    Eventually they switched to Glock. Wow! Glock makes several versions of the trigger and you can mix and match parts to have a ridiculously heavy trigger or a very light trigger.There are a hundred people making holsters and also aftermarket trigger parts and assemblies, not to mention barrels, slides, magazines, etc.
    Now I loved the S&Ws. They fit my hand well, I shot them well, and I liked the grip angle. When I was forced to a Glock, I hated it, especially the grip angle. BUT, after a few years and being forced to fire a couple thousand rounds through it, I've come around. If not a Glock fan boy, at least I'm a Glock defender.

    To each his own. My all time favorite is the 1911A1. Yep, .45 ACP. My house gun is a Ruger American full size .45, my every day carry is the Ruger LCP .380. However, I own a Glock 23 as well. I like the fact you can have one pistol that can fire 3 different types of ammunition, simply by changing the barrel! That’s truly innovation at its finest! I tinker with guns, simple things like sight replacements, part changes and trigger jobs and I have worked on one particular brand more than any other. No, I’m not going to say which one, but it’s the one that the take down levers has a tendency to snap off and the back strap safety is truly a hit or miss proposition! Love your content!
