Shooting a variety of guns and a variety of ammunition at a variety of targets is not just "entertainment" for people - it provides, after a while, a real sense of the relative power, controllability, and lethality of a variety of weapons to apply in a variety of circumstances. Lots of variety there, and that's the point. Few people have either the money or time to replicate such a broad spectrum of experiences with their own finances. As a result, watching the results of bullets being fired through jugs of water, wood, gel blocks, metal, concrete, etc. narrows down the list of alternatives that a prospective buyer of a given physical stature might want to look at to evaluate their suitability to purpose for their specific situation or intended use. Likewise, the discussions provide perspective, as do - and this is often underrated - the comments provided by others who have experienced similar weapons/ammo combinations, and who might be able to add reliability information to enrich the information that a viewer can gain. Fundamentally, KZbin is a fantastic source of information and a great learning opportunity, harnessing as it does the experience of a sizeable portion of the gun owners on earth! No gun club or gathering of individuals could hope to replicate the store of knowledge available through the immense library of KZbin video presenters.

You, sir, have some of the most useful gun videos I've ever seen. This one in particular was such a great help. Thank you, Gypsyman!

Hows the thumb?

so what is compressing the striker spring now? only the slide cycling?

Thanks for your time.

It’s important to know what’s going on and make your decision based on that. Most people don’t know what’s going on. They just think it’s a better trigger with the same exact safety mechanisms

Excellent

Firing pin block and drop shelf safety still intact with GPT. If you have an armorers plate you cant even drop the sear manually with a tool without the trigger pulled back off the drop shelf. Glocks are also designed with a very robust firing pin channel block. You take the slide completely off (and you have an intact and unmodified firing pin block safety) you can cock the striker all the way back all you want and release it all day the firing pin will never enter the beach. All you will end up doing is breaking your striker.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Tighter tolerances are nice but requires more attention. A 2011 will not run dry as reliably as a Glock will. They sure are nice to shoot, though. Enjoying your viewpoints, I agree with a lot of them.

I’m also trying to find the rest of the special tools can you add a link by any chance bro I’d appreciate it 🫡

Is tha 45 mm seal driver from motion pro

I agree. The performance trigger closely replicates the mechanics of the SIG p320 triggers, and their derivatives. Those guns are not safe at all

Ay you make a lot of sense

Everyone calls it entry level… but at the same time comparing their stuff to it! 🤔

We have an overdose of information and everyone is shilling. My first pistol, the G19.5 is perfect and I didn't know it for 4 years. I bought other pistols, they are also perfect. I got dots. I still prefer irons as my eyesight is still decent. There is just too much noise in the space and not enough self reflection.

This is what I'm learning as a novice. Was shooting way too many rounds at the range and not doing enough dry fire practice. I'm learning to ignore all the "Tactical bro" nonsense as it doesn't apply to me and makes me overthink. Now I just shoot low left sometimes. That's one problem and it's good to only have one to work on rather than be all over the place and not knowing why, searching for solutions.

That's words man, I am not sure what you are up to on the channel but I'll sub just to check it out, hello from Ukraine🇺🇦

Good point you made about the comp on the 9 mm. I feel like recently the community has been heavily leaning into the "if you ain't got the gucciest gun, it ain't worth it" and don't get me wrong, to each their own. But I think this tacticool mentality of just puttin stuff on a gun cuz "tactical" is simply a bit cringe and also not the most practical. Whenever I see people with their Gen-Z, frame-cut Zoomer ARs I just think it looks silly and weird. Not that they shouldn't be allowed to do so, it's their money, but the sense of down-to-earth pragmatism for which I absolutely love some fireams is just gone. In the end it comes down to individual ergonomics and practice imo, no amount of money spent on expensive optics, rails or furniture will ever compensate lack of practice. P.S. found the way you explained the grip & dry firing practice pretty nice ✌

Probably when their claim is denied

Do you even Jerry Miculek????

of course we do. shits expensive and shooting/training is expensive. sometimes surviving with food and bills is more important

Maybe its because oldtimers make everything gay

Good talk! Shoot, move, communicate/think. Nothing could be more simple and infinitely challenging at the same time.

I still carry my BHP, retired swat and vet. Work security at a hospital and issued G17's. Still train even after being shot and on bed rest for 8 months....Still sore, but still alive to feel the pain...Get it? Anyways good video

i was taught to shoot pistols one handed when i was a kid by my Uncle who was a Royal Marine in the 60s, and even after a stint in the army i still shoot pistols one handed (old habits die hard), i'm no expert marksman but i ht my shots and i've never shot a fancy handgun just old revolvers, a Canadian Service Browning Hi Power and a stock SIG P226 from armed security work and only see optics or fancy accessories as a hindrance

Amen. Newcomers just wants to buy skill, no dryfire, no understanding how this works.

maybe first time shooters after 300 rounds in one day can be sore? from the look of your hands you are in shape, sounds like these are weak people becoming sore. im loving that staccato btw, subbed!

Yea I respectfully disagree. I carry my XC. I put 1k rounds a month through and I dry fire a lot. I carry what I shoot the best and what is the most comfortable for me. The XC is easier to carry than the P. I carry the CS sometimes as well but at the end of the day the CS is just too small for me. I fully embrace the XC as a viable carry option. But I’m here for the conversation as always great video

unpopular opinion but you're 100% right.

The Glock performance trigger I think has the best of both worlds. Enough travel and a very nice break when you need it. Best video I’ve seen in a while! 🤙🤙

Duty XCs are 4.5lbs trigger pull. My current Johnny Glock Vex Glock performance trigger is set at 4.5 lbs with a hard wall.

How hard was it to change out that trigger shoe? Bet

What red dot cover did you have on your staccato? I’m looking for one to put on my 507 comp

me looking at barrel hood on glock😂😂😂

Spring from an ink pen! 😄

SCS window is more than big enough without thick structure walls blocking your view, sits closer to the bore than any other optic, and is perfectly sized for conceal carry. Thing's made out of titanium to boot! When the zombie apocalypse hits and batteries can't be found, you'll love it even more. 😀

Lmao, the ventilation is trash too. About to put in a complaint

Is the Glock Performance Trigger gen 2 designed for EDC as well?

I got the same thing and experienced the same hangup with the half cresent shape of the original magwell

So my gpt and kagworks extended release rub, and now it appears somethings causing my trigger to be supppper heavy and gritty, gonna have to clean it and see what happens . Haven't even put many rounds thru it wither

Awesome video, thanks for the honesty and hard truths 👍

Fantastic video, thank you!

Why did you have to run open neither one of your guns are compensated?

I had the same experience with my first Staccato which was the P as well. I put about 2500 rounds through it before I felt comfortable with it ( enough to carry in my case). I then moved to the CS and finally the XC which I found was the best carry option for me so I use the CS as a back up to the XC. It’s a great platform that takes time to appreciate ( at least for me). Great video!!!

*Fist bumps through screen*

Hey Gypsyman, great video and snapshot of your journey with the 2011. If you get the chance, shoot 25 yard bullseye with both examples and post the results. Single hand, 25 yard, bullseye, slow fire. 2 strings of 5 rounds should be enough.

I love your videos, obviously you're a very intelligent guy. Please take an armorer's course. We need more capable Gunsmiths in this world.

I have a 17 gen 4 that was my first gun. She's Ole Reliable. It stays OEM. I will get a second 17 and mess woth her.
