- A friendly response video to Tactical Doodle's "Why Should I Want A 1911?"
Also, this is a video on the best pistol I have ever used and it shows why Gaston Glock (the inventor of the pistol) is one of the great gunsmiths in history (IMO).

I carry a Glock 19 and I love it Catdog.
As always, awesome Video! In my agency we all carry Glock 19's and 26's for off duty. I couldn't agree more that the Glock is the penultimate firearm is most situations. Love my 19 and soon I will be upgrading to the Gen 4 19. Thanks for the video, well done.
+Anthony Tramontana Thank you too Anthony for your real life comment. The Glock was my first ever handgun that I purchased. I bought it just after 9 11.I'm "happy" Glock is the greatest (IMO) for your use too.
Stay safe!
Good video man! Very well put together.
I totally disagree. 1911's are better than Glocks. They handle better, and they aren't as expensive.
forget price, forget name, use what works for you, if you think its reliable , go with it .
Great comment! Here is a well known secret:
What works for most folks by far is the *smallest handgun* in their collection.
When CCWing/carrying concealed, people almost ALWAYS carry their smallest pistol.
That puts the Glock and Glock inspired pistols (XDs, Shield, Kahr, etc.) easily on top.
For non-CCWing, I agree with you:
"forget price, forget name, use what works for you, if you think its reliable, go with it."
*But even better:*
good price, good name, use what works for all, you know it's reliable, go with GLOCK period
EDIT: In my opinion.
Thank you for this video I love more now my Glock 19 gen4
I got my first glock this year which was the glock 19. At first I thought they were all hype until I decided to try one out. I absolutely love that gun. It's not the best gun in the world but it's definitely reliable, durable, simple, and easy to maintain. I recommend people to have diversity in their collection that way they will be more familiar with different platforms.
+Tevin Manuel Glad you like the G19.
About having one gun or many different platforms, here is a common saying:
"Beware the man with one gun, he knows how to use it."
It means a man that trains hard with one type of gun will beat someone who uses many different types of handguns every time.
If you seriously train & carry other types of handguns you will:
- have to divide your time training with all to be good with all.
- have to remember which gun you are wearing & it's manual of arms in a unexpected gun fight.
This is why I went totally to one platform: Glock
Stay safe.
+sweetcostarica thanks man I agree but that is more suited towards common self defense. I own 4 hand guns but I only carry two...glock 19/ m&p shield. even when shooting different platforms your fundamentals will aways be the same. I thinks it's really important for preppers to be familiar with other platforms since they might have to use a firearm that they aren't familiar with in a survival situation.
When it comes to the Question - What do I get best for the money? Glock is allways a good choice. But there are still good producers in middle Europe , that shouldn´t be forget. Like SIG Sauer, Heckler&Koch and many more. Even the CZ is verry nice. Glock is so - should I say - Mainstream^^
My verry own favourite pistole is the HS Produkt XDM from Kroatia - which is almost similar with the Springfield Armory XD or XDM. It is a verry light pistol and realy good Qualitiy. I like it much more for IPSC than the Glock.
Thanx for the Video, and greatings from Deutsch Wagram - Austria - the home of the Glock :-D
acKronac sig has qc iusse . CZ is nice but Glock aftermarket is much better
Piratebee, don’t forget the S&W M&P 9mm or .40.
Alaska looks awesome
I agree with the sentiment of the 1911. I just cannot see why anyone likes them. The ergonomics of the 1911 is dreadful, IMO.
Great Video very professionally done. Love my Glock 19 Gen 2. I have had it for years and it never fails me. Plus its fun to shoot.
I also really like my 1911's, Walther PP,Luger, Broom-handle Mauser, but the gun I would grab in an emergency is the Glock.
+Dan Kress "Broom-handle Mauser" you are so lucky. Thanks for your comment.
+sweetcostarica do you have a 10 mm g20 way up there in the wild?
Glock1130 No, not the G20 (10mm), I am thinking (very seriously) on getting the newer G40 (10mm) with just standard night sights.
I rather use a shotgun in the woods but It is difficult to use a long gun while fishing or working around camp.
Nothing like a big 10mm to make you feel safe.
+sweetcostarica good choice also, I have a 17L that's a lot of fun.
Dan 101 love my Glock 19
I plan on getting a Glock 21sf. just love the .45
The Glock 21 original/regular version was my very first pistol I ever bought.
It was to big for me at the time so I sold it to a Security Officer.
For Home protection it is great. I never had a jam in it.
This is the first video of your I've seen but I liked it. I just got my first glock a few months ago (g19) so it was good timing too. I wouldn't say it's my favorite gun I own but they do certainly work more often than not.
Glock 19 backs up the Sig P226
Clip on's with a j hook are the only way to go , Unless its a trigger shroud .
+Jeff Hopper Clip ons are nice. Good comment.
Nice video...great production values...thanks for sharing it!
+Jonnie Bangkok Thank you very much.
Stay safe and have a great 2016!
My CZ P07 works fine out of the box, purchased for 386$ and it has not had any malfunctions since purchase. 1700 rounds without a cleaning. No issues. And the trigger is better since it is DA/SA. So how exactly would a Glock be a better purchase?
I have a G35 and a full size M&P40, like them both but I find I shoot much better with my well broken in M&P.
Haha TacDoodle is great! I do agree my G21 does make me happy! Doesn't shooting in the Alaskan woods sound magical? lol
+AlaskanFrontier1 The Glock 21 was the first GLOCK I bought but since I was new to them at the time I sold it to a friend, a Security Officer. After that I bought a G26 for CCW in Las Vegas.
Stay safe brother.
sweetcostarica
They are sweet little pistols! I also really like the 26.
+AlaskanFrontier1 I love mine too! Can't sell it though no way, just got tru glo for it:)
Why you should not get a Glock
1 Looks, they are ugly
2 Price, most competing pistols are the same price or cheaper. They are over priced.
3 Sights, they are awful
4 Barrel, need to change to shoot some types of bullets
5 Grip, it is odd to say the least
6 Extras, why do people feel the need to replace all those parts, ie spring, guide rod, sights, magazine release, butt stop, texturing for the grips, surely its easier to buy a gun you like to start off with !
+BEN TWOONEZERO Nice one Ben.
Thanks for your viewpoints. You are right Glock are not for everybody.
Stay happy & safe brother.
+BEN TWOONEZERO For $550 they are the most firepower you can buy and accurate. No need to mention RELIABLE because it is a Glock.
Deo Vindice My point is you always spend more, has anybody not replaced those crappy sights.
But I replace the sights on all my pistols!
themelios21 I agree 100% it is really important to change your pistol sights to night sights. I wish all "good" folks do this as soon as they can.
Stay frosty.
You make very good video's .
+Juan Thank you very much. Have a great Easter!
Nice video bro !
+Steven Brown Thanks Steven. It was actually a lot of fun to do.
Very nice video, enjoyable & informative!
+Patriot 81 You made my day! Thanks.
+sweetcostarica sure man, no problem. It really was well put together & even after seeing a billion glock videos, I still liked it. So that's saying something. Take care.
Ha Ha Ha , Thanks for the video , I can't stop laughing at the comments ! He He He ! 😂
I own the G19 and G17...However my 1911 has been just as reliable, is more accurate, and shoots way better than any Glock......there is a reason why a gun has been in rotation for over 100 years and STILL is
How is the finger space in that 43 with gloves on. I live in a cold climate in the winter so I carry my Glock with a NY2 trigger in the winter works best for me with gloves Subd ya Good Video.
+MrHolster The finger space is not very good for gloves with the G43 or G42. Even with the bigger Glocks it is difficult to use any glove that has padding. The Mechanix Glove in this video is the thickest glove I would use shooting Glocks with.
This was a surprising fact I found out when I moved to Alaska. In Nevada (where I bought my 1st Glock) of course gloves were not an issue.
Have a great 2016!
Good video! Just found you and subscribed. But....Economy of training does not a firearm love affair make!
I know Glock and other poly guns are great, and if Hickok45 likes them, you know they're good!
I've fired many different polymer pistols, but I truly love hammer fired guns made of metal. Although I do own three polymer framed firearms, I've never cared for the squishy triggers.
My love is reserved for guns like the CZ 75 (2075) and clones, 1911's (Colt Lightweight Commander), and Ruger Vaquero (45 Colt), which I hunt deer with.
I also own Bersa firearms that I feel are not given as much respect as they deserve.
The Bersa DA/Decocker .45 Ultra Compact (it ain't compact) is perfectly reliable, and has never failed to fire, eject, or chamber. Good trigger too.
My EDC is a Ruger LCR (.327 Magnum) and I handload almost every caliber I shoot.
Did I need to mention to any of you that I'm an old fart?
A lovable "old fart". There are many good polymer striker-fired handguns out there, it is mind numbing trying to find _"the best"._
Most people, groups, police, and militaries use the Glock, SIG, CZ or FN. But the Glock is everywhere and my choice.
Classic guns like 1911s (I used the M1911 in the Navy), Hi-Power M35, CZ 75, Luger, S&W Model 10 revolver, or Dirty Harry's Model 29 - .44 magnum revolver, Beretta's 92, etc. They are excellent *_but _* outdated and their old technology is... old.
When I carried the .40 ounce M1911 on my submarine for topside watch it always tried to pull my Dungarees down and it was difficult to run without holding the holster. All metal guns are nice to shoot but not great to wear all day. This is one of the reasons polymers & space age alloys have mostly replaced steel in many types of firearm parts.
When police switched from revolvers to semi-auto pistols their accuracy/hit rate increased 40 percent. And these new duty pistols where much easier to learn. On and on.
Anyway, I don't make many videos these days as I am with my family now an doing busy family business. Thank you for your nice comments 👍.
If you get yourself an authentic solid 1911 made in 1980-1990s then you don't have to worry about a thing. I've shot these newer model 1911s and they are absolutely terrible.
good video
Thank you very much.
EDIT: Hope you had a good Memorial Day.
Hahah anchorage AK? I'm in the valley
Valley guy! Lucky.
I like both. I've had more malfunctions on my glocks though
+jesse bermudez I would 1st go back to where you bought your Glock, explain the malfunctions, and see about correcting them. Even Glock makes a lemon or two.
Note: with these brand new & smaller Glocks they might not preform as well as the Glock 26 or larger. The reasons vary but the slide rubbing a glove, a finger touching the slide of these small gun, after market parts can cause trouble, and so on.
2nd as I said XDs, or S&W Shields work too. So maybe one of them with work for you.
+sweetcostarica
oh trust me I know I have them all and have been shooting for years I've added the new fn compact into my edc rotation which have replaced the rest. I think all of the newer 1911s have less problems especially if you have a nice semi custom with polished feed ramps etc...
jesse bermudez Enough said. as long as your happy.
:39 seconds before you lost me. sorry, but after all these years of safety sallies, i rate an amount of info i can get from a video as null if the presenter really thinks he has to clear his gun for the audience. i know im harsh, and i never saw any other of your vids.
i am just that demanding.
+MARVIN THE BOON "if the presenter really thinks he has to clear his gun." was said by you Marvin.
Hi, in the video at minute :32 I was not clearing the gun. It might have looked that way and I am sorry for the confusion. I thought folks knew I was talking about the *functions (including trigger pull) & design* of the Glock.
If you watch the rest of the video, or my other "gun" videos, you will never hear me do or refer to *clearing my firearm.* I do it BUT I don't record that common sense safety measure on my videos simply because it wastes time.
Anyway, have a great 2016!
EDIT: Check out Hickok45's, he is always function checking throughout his videos. That is where I picked it up. Unfortunately, he also clears his guns for Safety Sallies on camera.
what part of ak
lived in matsu valley for many years
+Jeff Lane Midtown, Anchorage but went off from work I head South to the Kenai Mountains.
Alaska is great state.
Cool vid sweet, shame we cant have guns in uk. Atb.
+MARCVS SPARTACVS It is sad to hear United Kingdom citizens aren't allowed to have personal defense firearms. I wonder if the UK is experiencing a higher violent crime rate like the Australians after they banned firearms totally? Here is their news:
"The Australian Bureau of Criminology states its murder rate in 2006 with firearms was the highest ever at *16.3 percent.* The ban started in 1997."
and
"Researchers at the University of Melbourne, however, found no such improvement as a result of the new system. "There is *little evidence* to suggest that it (Australia's Gun Ban) had any significant effects on firearm homicides or suicides," they wrote."
Stay safe MARCV SPARTACVS.
Move to the United States. We desperately need patriots.
+sweetcostarica
Firearms in the UK are a complex issue. However we can own firearms here in the UK just not handguns or as you correctly phrased "personal defense firearms". Owning a shotgun in the UK is commonplace, especially if you live out in the country, rifles and historical black powder only firearms can be owned and used too under certain conditions.
Anti-firearm legislation in the UK began in 1594! In fact under common law we did have the right to own arms for our defence since 1707, the same law that was adapted for use in the US constitution perhaps you are familiar with it? 'Carrying' weapons of any kind was essentially made illegal here in 1824 we are used to it by now. We could do with some better laws to let us protect ourselves and property non-lethally (and accidentally lethally) but that's about it really.
Lady Melisandre Great to hear from someone who is a UK citizen. I hope you are also allowed to use those weapons to protect your home, family, and neighbors for "bad" guys & terrorist i.e. not put the innocent person who was just trying to defend himself/herself or others in jail.
We all need to protect ourself (the Police/government can't). One word:
"Brussels".
That is *another* wake up call.
I've already decided that, if the laws change here in the US, I will not comply. I will not give up even one gun, one magazine, one round of ammunition. The only way to maintain one's rights is to fight for them. There will always be totalitarians looking to disarm us and to thus take advantage of our resultant weak position. But we must not let that happen. I advise the peoples of the world to arm up, even if it is illegal.
I trust my life with the glock
I stopped watching after you mentioned that since Glock trigger pulls, etc are similar .... that means absolutely nothing and no, it won't help you become a better shot. Only a person who is a bad shot says stuff like that. Proof is given at around 2:57 in your video when you begin to produce bad targets. I'm not even going to accuse you of stealing valor because other well known miltary people have been found to be as ignorant as you are such as nutnfancy, a person you subscribe to - a well known Glock Fanboy.
I have a Glock M&P9, I like it very much
which glock which generation for first timer?
do they spit brass in face?
+joe bananas If you have already practiced with .22's pistols and generally know about shooting, the basics,
*Starting*
I suggest the Glock 19 for open carry, home defense, and Winter concealed carry. For ALL THE TIME concealed carry get a Glock 42 in .380 ACP.
*Finishing*
Once you get the hang of it go for the big Glock 40 (this is a 10mm canon) and for concealed carry the Glock 43 (in 9mm). These two are amazing pistols (IMO).
EDIT: Your question about brass in the face; I never had that problem with my Glocks.
joe bananas once in a while it happens man up and don't worry about it
I would like to own a Glock but have no idea which model I should get.
Can you recommend?
+torgomax New shooter (IMO):
For concealed carry - Glock 26 (9mm)
For deep concealed carry - Glock 42 (.380)
For Home Defense - Glock 17 (9mm)
For handgun hunting - Glock 40 (10mm)
God Bless.
You have been very helpful. Thanks!
+torgomax It would be best for you to hold the 17,19, and 26 ect. Shoot them if you can. Select which one feels best in you hands. And the one you are most accurate with. The length of the grip is different on all of them and the hump will hit your hand in a different place on each of them. I own 4 glocks and they all shoot a little bit differently for me because of hand size. Its a personal feeling thing. For example I wouldn't be able pick out the perfect pair of running shoes for you. I don't know what fits you best. Take your time. They are a life time investment!!!! That said the G19 is pretty great for most folks.
Thanks for the great advice. Another question, Do you have to fill out a bunch of paperwork to buy a gun? I hate paperwork. Thanks.
+torgomax Not really, you have to fill out like your name, address, height, eye color and stuff like that, and check about 10 yes/no boxes. It prob takes maybe 4 mins.
What's up with the rape gloves?
Just wanted to use black gloves (any type) to keep the focus on the star of the video - Glock pistols.
This is similar to the all black clothes actors in the background of a play.
Sorry if you were confused by them.
Nothing but love homie
