Building my ultimate duty Glock

Today we break down my ultimate duty Glock build, what went in to and more importantly what the real cost of building something like this is. #minutemen #preppergear #prepared #preparedness #prepper #shtf #wrol #teotwawki #prepping #firearmstraining #gunfighter #gucciglock #glock45 #glock #concealedcarrynation #concealcarry #dutygun #radianramjet #agencyarms #acrop2 #surefire #x300

I second that

He has a video from awhile back going over his ruger ar556 patrol rifle that his department issues but this was more towards the beginning of the channel awhile ago so idk if that’s what he’s still running.

[@HeavyIronsProduction]

this please

[@andrewschulte3024]

yup

[@kobudo]

I’m a lot luckier than you when it comes to Glock stock controls. The mag releases, slide stops, and trigger (except for the G48/43x) all feel pretty good to me and my hands. The only internal parts I replaced on my G45 were the safety plunger in the slide and the trigger bar assembly. At 500 rounds, the gun started to develop this real annoying “double wall” feeling where it would feel like the trigger broke right before it really did. Diagnosing at home with an empty gun, I took the plunger and extractor off, reassembled, and the second wall feel went away during dry fire. Turns out, it was the trigger bar where it was pinned to the trigger messing up that was causing the issue. I now have a spare safety plunger for this gun. Both parts were replaced with Glock OEM parts because safeties are not to be messed around with. Gun runs great now.

[@westloves]

ive carried g45 for few years now and its perfect, my fav handgun by far.

[@InkwellFoto]

My duty gun is now a 17 (again): Nomad Defense 9F frame, Zev Citadel Slide, Radian afterburner/ramjet, Holosun 507comp, Johnny Glock Vex Trigger, Angry BearArmsBUIS. My backup gun is the same, but a 9x frame. Off duty carry is a CZ Shadow 2 Compact with SRO.

[@john7m7usa]

This is a lot of money, but the guy puts his life on the line and it’s completely worth it. Still cheaper when a Korth revolver or some Gucci 2011s. Great video, thank you for all the details and for giving me some food for thoughts.

[@hardwire1013]

Personal opinion. Other than MAYBE staccatos, I wouldn’t trust a 2011 for concealed carry. Tolerances are way too tight. The smallest debris especially in the higher end ones can choke them up.

[@tobinshadwick89]

[@LVbibby]

Good Video thanks. I definitely get a little carried away with some of the ways I outfit my pistols but that is next level, and completely logical and well reasoned. Appreciate the transparency and efforts be well fine sir. Edit: Oh as non-LEO I carry a p-01 with cajun kit, eps carry optic, using HST 124s, appendix in a Trex sidecar holster or a sig p365 no model as it built it out of separate parts, but icarus frame, spectre comp slide/barrel and 407k optic running HST 147s in a QVO rig (sometimes in a fanny pack not on a belt still in holster when it's hot in the desert). Both were vetted with hundreds of rounds and multiple sessions of hollowpoints, but not your counts more like 500 fmj and 50-75 carry.

[@RebelViking912]

That's great your police department allows you to carry your own firearm and set it up the way you want it. Most departments, including mine, doesn't allow you to do anything to your duty firearm or patrol rifle. I think its stupid. If it helps you shoot better and be more accurate, and its safe, it should be allowed.

[@TriggaTrey361]

Typical power trip happens all the time people actually modifying their weapons have way more training than a regular cop in my opinion

[@unclefreedom213]

That old school gotta be stock mentality is cancerous to agencies. The old school guys are now retiring or finally seeing the light and the lowering of liability because the guys shoot better.

Photonic barriers are a thing. Quality low light classes from experienced and knowledgeable instructors are a eye opener as to what works and what doesn't in real life conditions (where you'd end up actually using a WML, or handheld, for that matter).

Id love to see what sworn agency would allow the leniency for their officers or deputies to carry a "custom" duty weapon...i personally have worked for 3 different agencies sworn...and NONE of them allowed us to have mods on our firearms other than night sights...and a hogue slip on.... (this was in Kentucky) boy how have times changed...ive seen as lenient as an "approved list" but never "custom"..lucky you! Stay safe brother!

[@unclefreedom213]

Pretty common now what you're describing as is a result of the first reply which is if it ain't stock you can't have it. It's a severly outdated mentality right up there with no lights on handguns or dots on handguns or rifles. There are still some agencies but as these older chiefs either retire or get shown why the mods are important. It's changing. My agency all mods have to be done by the armorer (which is me) ensures subpar and unsafe mods aren't allowed to happen. In this world any and all things that make you better and more accurate are a welcome addition

[@mesa50w]

@@unclefreedom213 well for 99.9 percent out there the best mod you can do to make you more accurate is the nut pulling the trigger .. so no mods will over come a bad shooter

[@davidoliver2936]

I have a very similar pistol set up. I had a few fte's with some cheap monarch 115 last weekend which was disappointing. However I normally shoot blazer 115 and that gave me zero issues. I'm probably going to put in a polydat trigger and possibly the owp connector as well soon.

Is this the same g45 with Acro P2 on PA today? I got that discount profile and looking to get this but want to ensure it’s direct mounted. Thanks!

[@andershilmo1866]

Cool build out. For a future build I want a g17 grip from nomad defense with an agency or arc slide probably a RCR or rmr HD on it. A comp of some type for sure. Probably not getting that for some time I am still finishing out a build on a Walter pdp pro sd and getting a new slide for sig macro. Along with doing some work on a few cz I have so with so many projects things do tend to go slowly.

[@b.c.731]

The only thing i did with my g17 gen5 mos was put the holosun on it and every now and then a light. But i keep it simple. I did want the comp but it's not needed really. I'ma civilian so i really don't need a lot of extras. Great video.

I just got an overwatch precision mag well for a 34 gen 5 I've been tinkering with. I'm not a dude who normally goes much beyond sights and maybe a 3.5 - 4 pd connector on a glock.....I have had mixed luck over the years with triggers. Apex= good to go but didn't like the feel.....Agency syndicate= good for a while then failures to reset. Tyrant= bad from the start BUT it was an old gun with a lot of rounds and I didn't give it much love in the "trouble shooting" department. Lol. I usually like a stock trigger with a minus connector and a dot (rmr) or Ameriglo troopers or hackathorns. Anyway, I like the SLR a lot....looks cool to not that it matters. I usually stuck to Zev mag wells, but I REALLY like the O.W.P. If you ever get curious try the over watch mag well brother.......I beat on mine for around 400 rds. out back today, I'm loving it so far. Greetings from KY.

[@c-jam6392]

I often wonder why not go with a full size barrel if we’re just gonna put a full size light that extends out past the muzzle anyway? I have the same thing but wonder why I didn’t go with a 34 instead when I think about it.

[@Swampytheroot]

I own a lot of Glocks. I carried a Gen2 31 for 20 years every day. I'll never daily carry one again. The grip angle actually causes compression between my little finger and wrist that, not infrequently, causes my hand to lose all sensation for a short period. I can look at the hand and see what it's holding, but I can't feel it. I can tell the index finger to squeeze, and it will, but I can't feel it.

[@darkgardener9577]

I went with 10mm varieties b/c large 4 legged threats are equal to or more common than the 2 legged kind where I live . I just wish we could get some of the nicer comps like the ram jet for 10mm which actually needs it.

Tactical pontoon triggers are drop in with the discso.. What wasn’t mentioned is some discos allow the trigger to be pulled and the striker drop before the barrel is fully into battery. May be more of a gen 3-4 thing? I haven’t fooled with a gen 5 yet

[@TheGunNerd]

Glock sells 24 rd mags for their double stacked 9mms for like 30 bucks, save some money on extensions. Why not go with the glock performance trigger? Its hard for me to justify 100 dollars on a flared magwell on a gun that already has a flared magwell built in, especially if i need to conceal it.

[@seaocean4868]

Why g19 slide if you have full size light and grip? Weight savings?

[@unclefreedom213]

to me it has far better balance, I also have very large hands and I can swallow up the g19 grip. I always run the full size light so the length doesn't impact me when carrying. I own g17s, g34, g22 etc. I can honestly say without a doubt that the way this cycles is just better. Something else to keep in mood is less reciprocating slide mass with longer grip means flatter shooting
