El Pingu the finish on my barrel wore really quick within the first 200 rounds but I haven’t seen anymore wear off in the next 2000 rounds. I’ve holstered and unholstered it a couple thousand times and the exterior of the slide still looks like how I bought it. The early gen 5s had the barrel wear issue due to tighter tolerances but Glock made a rolling change with the newer barrels.

[@ExpatGringo]

I subscribe to a lot of these types of vids with Rob Ski, Valor Ridge, you name it - just like many others here. Every single one of them agrees with you - get TRAINING and PRACTICE. The tired cliche of "Beware of the man with just one gun..." is sooo true. Learning the manual of arms through repetition, putting lead down range, clearing malfunctions, etc. - just no substitute. For instance, I still struggle with my AK mag changes, but I'm determined to get to a decent level of proficiency. Guys like Lucas make it look so easy, but we know how much dedication and practice that he committed to in order to get there. Very humbling but encouraging at the same time. Be safe and have fun GI Josh!

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

While that is kind of true, I think there is a bigger picture that is sometimes being missed. Yes skills are important, but the question is how much? At the end of the day they are tactics, and tactics don't matter as much as strategy (akin to how equipment doesn't matter as much as skills). Look at the military or law enforcement, many are poor shooters but they get the job done. Why? There is a great focus on the strategic level. For them, information gathering, dissemination, and things like maintaining logistics are the key to success. For the average citizen, our "strategy" involves understanding the law, street smarts, and establishing and maintaining vigilance in our security measures and situational awareness with critical thinking. A fast draw is nice, but avoiding danger and spotting a threat early is better. A fast magazine reload is nice, but knowing when you are legally allowed to shoot is better (firing too early AND too late are important) considering the rarity of running dry in self defense with a full capacity magazine. It is good to train with a rifle, but do you have any plan to store or carry it with you so it is available when needed (this is one reason why rifles end up being used only for home defense and why handgun proficiency and concealment is so much more important) Of course, I subscribe to the buffet style of training. Why pick one when you can aim to be proficient in everything? However, there is much talk about the tactical level and in doing so a lot of people miss out on these big picture concepts that could result in you getting harmed before you can fight, or incriminated after winning the fight. Practicing weapon manipulations are free and fast, and so is marksmanship by dry fire, but they should not be considered the benchmark of proficiency, but rather the absolute minimum standard.

[@sethtenrec6476]

+Dave Smith I see it like you're talking about level 3 and he's talking about level 2. in other words, legal knowledge, situational awareness, knowing how to avoid trouble... Yes those things are most important. Then, if you're going to use a firearm, being able the shoot on the move and actually hit your target, that's kind of what he's talking about and that's important too. Bottom line is too many people spend their time at level 1, discussing caliber, firearm brand, ammunition, and all that stuff is of very minimal importance compared to what you've discussed above...

First of all thanks for your time and dedication on making this video. Thanks for pointing out the differences between gen 4 and gen 5. I have 2 things to ask very important. #1 you said the marksman barrel of the gen 5 is not really a better barrel. Glock says a shooter can do 4" groups at 25 yards with a Glock 17 gen 5. Could you please make a video with a Glock 17 gen 4 making 4" groups? Mr Gunslinger made a video on the Glock 17 gen 5 and he even made 1.5"groups. #2 in the video Mrgunslinger made he actually showed that the trigger and IT IS DIFFERENT internally and Mrgunslinger states it feels different. I can easily understand that in your opinion the glock trigger from a gen 4 and a gen 5 might be very similar, but it is not the first time I hear from people saying the gen 5 trigger is better. Thanks for your time.

I believe what glock was referring to was reholstering when talking of the rounded nose on the slide. They found the angles of the square nose caught on holster whereas the round nose simply finds its home. Wasnt a fan of the round nose in the beginning but the look has grown on me personal.

[@TheKessi1000]

I don't own a single Glock. I used to not like them. Mainly because that's all you would hear about if you brought up firearms (it got really boring). In the last year I have really entertained the idea of getting one because I really appreciate the simplicity of them and I will probably pull the trigger this year and get one. I can say that I will definitely be picking up the Gen 4. Why? Because I actually like the finger grooves and I don't like the new magwell. The glock will NEVER replace my M&P Shield Plus. I can appreciate Glock though for leading the way so that S&W could make a more refined Pistol.

[@classicrocker81]

Gen 5 would be my pick and easier to find. Ive carried my Gen 3 for a few years and will finally be moving to Gen 5. I disliked the texture and finger grooves on my Gen 3 so I shaved and stippled it and it was much better. However, I feel like Gen 5 doesnt need either but thats just my opinion. My hands tend to sweat a lot when shooting so I need an aggressive texture and talon grips dont last for me. Id compare Gen 4 and Gen 5 and see which you feel more comfortable with since thats ultimately what matters.

will do. thanks!

[@MrScar665]

Buy a CZ

[@encodedd3335]

Gen 4 and gen 5 are effectively the same handgun, especially for a newer shooter, the only reason i prefer gen 5 is because I am left handed and i greatly prefer the full ambi

[@JohnLeeKoreanSeoul]

2:50 that weapon clearing tho

[@diehardoutdoors]

Glad he showed us that beginning part because it makes it official the gen 5 is faster than the gen 4 with the bull nose cut

[@thomasm.7058]

Wow, what an outstanding VLog Lucas... You are phenomenal...

[@eddievest4096]

Lucas is a monster!

[@eidell]

I agree 100 percent with your final statement. Nothing replaces getting out and performing some quality training. I suggest spending your money on classes and ammunition versus gadgets and the latest, greatest new toy.

[@chasevazquez6188]

The fact that at the end of the video he emphasized on the fact that all of these little add ons and upgrades here n there are meaningless if you aren’t well trained in order to protect family or yourself. That my friend got you 1 more subscriber!

[@RepentorPerish77]

I need to train with this man lol

[@bobbywshunter]

I completely disagree about the trigger, it is different, it is lighter, and the wall is far less.

[@Akira_808]

6:17 invisible gun lol

[@MrBigspendn]

Lucas, the only 3 things I care about when it comes to a handgun is 1. Is it reliable? Does it feed ammo consistently 2. Does it feel comfortable in my hands? 3. Does the mag release smooth and drop and does the mag insert easy and lock in easy?

[@Jedlmind]

10:46 This final message is what earned my like.

[@blahblah1724]

Meat and potatoes kid.

[@stache7h308]

Dude your last statement rocked...

[@lesanubis8335]

This it what I needed to hear, a no bull review. Thanks m8 keep it going

[@austinclark4208]

[@shaneford9267]

how do you not have more subscribers?

[@mangopog9814]

Humility, the lack of..

[@SheepdogColumbus]

Everett Wilson Some of us can see right through this guy. Obviously a hard worker but anyone who trains can do this shit with no problem. The only difference is we aren’t doing unnecessary press checks and taps. Also the retarded rapid movements to try and make everything look so “epic”, is just silly. Goes to show how many people there are on the internet who are just looking for someone to worship.

[@dungdoan9830]

That’s why we all knows G19 G4 is always gonna be better 🧐

[@markreed2576]

Absolutely correct 💯. You can not buy skill sets. You must train hard, practice often and you will achieve.

[@triggerjockey1]

Hey Lucas, come here to Idaho and do some shooting, that would be super cool. Anyway though, Botkin is awesome! No bs, no frills, just go to work. Big fan of the continuous message through all of T-Rex's videos on the importance of ammo and training and not hype. Keep it up Brother!

[@tonytran1841]

TRAIN ME

[@sentinel8711]

you can train yourself just got to practice

[@tonytran1841]

You right I was just playin, I'm jealous of where he gets to train/shoot haha

[@TheVikingSailor]

That's not training

[@bludmakesgrassgrow]

As long as you're practicing the right things, and not reinforcing bad habits, it's training.

[@sentinel8711]

of course! then you practice practice practice..then experimenting with different techniques but that's just me .. Know one ultimate perfect way.. just my opinion

[@AlanWilliams72]

I love your closing statement Lucas! You nailed it!!

[@williamh6253]

Man that speech at the end was so motivational. 🔥

[@seltenfotog3115]

aaaaaannnnd.....I have a new channel. The honesty is hardcore and almost impresses me more than your shooting.
