      @jondude1 They up the cost, because wholesale price on a 17M is over 100 dollars more than a standard 17... Thats why the MSRP was set at $753.99.
      ...also, they were/are special order only, so they wouldn't mistakenly get one in, and sell it at the standard 17 price without knowing how much they had in it.

    Enjoyed your in depth detail. I was around when changed 45 to 9mm in 80s. I liked the extra shots (though I love 1911)and remember silver tips spread and functioned well! Amazing 30 years to figure out what many argued then, 9 had good recoil, control and just hit the target! Didn't like shooting Glock when came out, but looking at it now for simple, reliable, price & track record.

    I recently was able to buy a SCHP 17M. It was from a retired LT. And she sold her gun to a local gun store. It has several of the FBI features. It has the NDLC finish on the trigger bar. It has the 5M barrel. It also does not have the extended slide stop and it has a rounded magazine release. It was made in Austria. Seems like SCHP has some features from the from both the FBI and Lipsey’s guns.

    What the "M" stands for has been debatable since it is not specified in the original RFP. Some say "Military", some say "Modified". Adding to that, a certain Glock vendor now sells the actual versions with the nDLC coatings and the "Miami" barrel with the "M" stamp on its hood. Those are available to purchase through the Blue Label program with the same SKU as the original FBI pistols, although all are now Austrian made. Also, early standard Gen5 models have the magazine cutout and lacked front serrations.

    Howdy - Great presentation! I would add one other change that I have seen on the Gen 5’s.
    History: Glock 22 and 23 were tested by my agency years ago and the test weapons catastropicly failed between 6,000 and 8,000 rounds. Glock remodeled both models by adding a reinforcement in the form of another cross pin behind the locking block in the G22’s and G23’s. Those pins are found on Glock Gen IV’s, but not the Gen 5’s. Not to worry though because, as far as I know, there were no such failures on the pre - .40 S&W glock 9mm’s.

    The 19x dosen't need a specific magazine.
    It fits any 9mm Glock factory or aftermarket magazine aside from Gen 5 magazines, but even the Gen 5 magazines work with a small modification to either the magwell or the baseplate of the magazine.

    Great video, as per the usual, thanks!
    My two favorite Glocks now are both Gen 5 Glocks: the Glock 45 and the Glock 34. The 34 Gen 5s eliminated the large relief "hole" on the top of the slide and in my opinion, the sight radius advantage plus the elimination of that stupid huge hole makes it a great duty weapon. The Glock 45 feels great when you shoot it. It has the full sized grip (important for my huge hands) and full capacity Glock magazines, etc.
    Great for competition, duty and defense.

    I can attest that the new Gen 5 barrels are considerably more accurate than previous generations. The barrel in my Gen 5 G26 is every bit as accurate as the match barrel I have in my model 19. Maybe I got a magic barrel, but I noticed the same accuracy potential in the test and evaluation pistols my agency sent by Glock, the models 19 and 45, both Gen 5. The model 48 they sent was also impressive as far as it's average accuracy over previous generation barrels. Glock finally solved one of their cons.

    FYI… The early versions of the Gen 5 17 & 19 had the crescent cutout on the bottom front of the grip frame just like the 17M (as well as Gen 1 & Gen 2). It was removed after customer feedback. Another difference of the early Gen 5’s was the smooth slide. Forward cocking serrations appeared about the same time that the crescent cutout disappeared. The earliest Gen 5’s were much closer to the M models. Just sayin’.

    I have a Glock Gen 4 17MOS that I really like, with a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro sight. I bought the Gen 4 model back when the Gen 5 models were first coming out, and I was afraid of getting a “weaker” gun since the Gen 5 pistols lacked the extra locking block pins that the Gen 4 models had, as I was used to having locking blocks and pins break periodically on the Glock models 22 and 23 that my police department had used when I had been an armorer, albeit that had been when they had been Gen 3 guns and the Gen 4 had not come out yet. Now I will admit that the .40 S&W cartridge is a lot higher pressure than a 9mm, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying about it, lol. I have waited to see if Glock will bring out Gen 5 10 mm or 40 S&W models, but haven’t seen any yet. Oh well, lol. I guess if I want another 9mm I can get a Glock 45 MOS, but if I want a 10 mm I may have to get a Gen 4 still. Oh well.

    The redesign of the striker tip was to help the next cartridge slide up the breechface easier as the striker tip could be protruding from the breechface as the next new round was making its way up the breechface.
    Shadow Systems not only changed their design as Glock changed theirs, but also added a 2nd striker spring to retract the striker so that it wasn't sticking out of the breechface as the new round was attempting to be seated against the breechface.

    • @alanmeyers3957

    Excellent. Slide stops were offered in std and extended, shooters choice. Early ones had Trijicon sights, it went to Ameriglow bc of cost. They were also Austria made with full production in US. Current production has the front slide and frame bevel, early ones had a squared lower. What is unconfirmed, is that the barrels had a tighter chamber tolerance than other agency Ms, trade off of performance vs reliability.

    That coil spring has always vexed me. My normal trigger job on a Glock is a minus connecter and a NY-1 trigger spring (olive). It might slightly increase the pull weight but gets rid of the sponge to the wall. I don't particularly like the fact that Glock is setting on the DLC trigger bar but since they are the LEGO of the pistol world I am sure someone will produce a part to take my money. I'll will leave you with a question can we call the 17 M the Goverment Model...? Yehaa from East TN

    Lipsey ordered the commercial M19 M17 glocks according to the Glock rep who was working on the deal. Also you can get the DLC parts from some LEO Glock armors. If your buddies a police officer he can ask his Glock rep to get you some.

      Kris 9mm I was told by Glock directly that the DLC components are restricted. They are only available by approval I’d SR Glock management. The parts are on the form. But has anyone ordered and received these DLC parts?

    Can you do something on the Glock Miami barrel? This was made to leave barcode like markings on a bullet. I have a feeling that at least some of the Miami barrel tech made it into the Marksman barrels.

    That Glock barrel with lans and grooves was not designed for the FBI. It was designed for the Miami-Dade police dept. in Miami, Florida. It was my department that did the study and we found it was very hard to identify what barrel or gun the projectile came from. The FBI just looked at our study, agreed with it and they made it a prerequisite. Glock first called those barrels Miami barrels. I have a gen 3 Glock with that barrel. Also, Glock redesigned and adopted their double recoil spring set-up because of us also. We carried Winchester ranger T series 124gr +P+ ammunition and Glock redesigned the spring for us and later adopted it to all their guns. I remember Glock reissued us the double springs and we all had to go to the dept. armorer to get the new spring installed.

    • @SmallArmsSolutions
      @SmallArmsSolutions  Před 4 lety +2

      michael leon sir, what your Department studied, this has been common knowledge well over 20 years. I started in internship in 1998 and it was common knowledge. This far predates Miami study. Glock has had requests for conventional rifled barrels for this reason. According to the folks I interviewed, the FBI wanted their new generation pistols to be identifiable. From what I see, the Marksman barrels are. The whole story, I don’t know if I have it all. Glock is very tight lipped on it. Their claims for the new barrel is quite different from what the Feds said I spoke to. For me, it came down to the comparative scope. If the identification of fired projectiles was not a goal for the 17M, it is one hell of a coincidence!

    Great video, Chris! So there actually is a difference in the trigger guard (M/Gen5 vs Gen1-4) where it meets up with the frame? Is it somewhat minor?.......when I compared a G5 with a G4 in store I didn’t think I saw a difference. Is there still a high propensity for “Glock knuckle” with the M/Gen5 ?

    • @johnphillips222
      @johnphillips222 Před 4 lety +3

      The picture of the FBI flavor of the 17M appeared to show a radiused trigger guard. Other versions of the 17M showed the same defective Glock trigger guard design.
      All the Gen1-5 and Slimline pistols have the defective trigger guard design that causes Glock knuckle.
      My engineering friends and I ran a test with 5000 frame/second high speed video to see why the Glock trigger guard sucks so badly. Counter recoil is the issue as the slide enters battery.
      The undercut trigger guard modification doesn't work, but it does have the full placebo effect. The real fix is recontouring the trigger guard to push on the middle finger at the middle of the trigger guard. The nylon welding works well. The so-called internet experts call me a clocksucker and other homosesual slurs for not developing a thick skin. Idiots. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink.

    I recently picked up a 19M made in Austria that has the extended slide stop, came with glock night sights and has thre dlc coated internals. Picked it up from Buds Gun Shop a few months ago. Hope this helps a bit.

      Rob Kilcollins as the story continues to unravel with all y’all info, sounds like there is much disconnect on what Glock’s FBI contract parts policy is. This is a difficult story to research. Much contradictories.

    I like 9mm and it's now a sensible, effective round. However, I'm a little more accurate with 45. I like the recoil characteristics. I'll still keep a 45 around in a HK platform. And if forced to use FMJ, I'd opt for 45. Though, some of that new military 9mm 115 +p FMJ flatnose (M1152) would be nice to have.
