Get with the times Fudd: Glock 45 w/ACRO

[@eddiepereira9628]

Great choice! The Glock 45 and Aimpoint Acro P2 make an awesome combination.

[@scotttwombly6528]

I have been shooting hand guns since the early 80’s. I just got a B&T G19 with ACRO Swiss police pistol. Love it.

[@petert8807]

Well, Fudd... I have complete confidence that you will cycle back around to a 1911 and/or a revolver, before long. You are a master of convincing yourself of WHY you are changing carry guns, and backing it up with relatively true points. (I'm equally adept at convincing myself of WHY when I change carry guns.... not a critique, as I love your channel and point of view and variety of guns you own)

[@MRsolidcolor]

i carry a czp09 have for year then went to a g45 and i loved it. shoot ability is not even close to a cz but the glock 45 offers more then you know. its lighter mags are parts are cheaper. the angle takes some getting used to but once you do i feel it helps with recoil of a lighter gun.. after having a hk vp9 some lighter guns feel they like to back flip from your hand.

[@JoeMamazHouse]

Modern Fudds shoot polymer, rds, and 9mm…by way of the 2011. Great video as always like your collection you’ve shared with us.

[@WornDownCrown]

You are literally the only person I know who has ever had an issue with their RMR. I hope that acro is treating you better though, I’m considering getting one myseld

[@j5m1v8g]

RMR’s do go down. I had a type 2 RMR fail on me twice, once on a Benelli M4 and the other on a G19.5. I fully realize that anything made by humans can fail at any time, and I simply had a defective product.

[@alexwalker5645]

Absolutely perfect setup!

I just use XS Big Dots on all my carry guns, it's quick, easy and consistent across the board for all of them. Fudd or no Fudd.

Right? A few weeks ago I added them to my X-Macro (non-comped) and I'm wondering why I don't have them on all my pistols.

[@multicamchannel]

Yeah, usually late fall and winter I'll carry a revolver. Spring and summer its almost always a Glock I'll carry.

[@Killa91115]

I have the same setup but on a G17 I love it.

[@frankbutta9344]

I shot semiautomatics forever, but spent the past 3-4 years mostly shooting revolvers. I’ve tried to move back to 9mm semiautomatics, but the reciprocating slide is annoying to me. I have an Sig P365X in my pocket right now, but I’m not 100% certain yet. 🤷🏼👍👍👍💥

[@charles17508]

I freaking think the glock is such a sweet looking frame in summer I carry a 43x no light no rail no optic on my main carry it is a 19 mos gen 5 got a dot and sometimes I'll throw the light on I also carry some days my 48mos with a streamlight sub model I use to have a few more revolvers but when I started training with my glocks I just really experienced the way I fight with a glock I could not do the same with other guns so now glocks are my main jam I love my 19x and carry the 19 mos the most I'm still a little bit on the fence with slim frame guns still I love that acro.

[@TheOl1911]

can't fault ya with the reasoning. Totally understand.

[@jonnelson6091]

Red dots are now in their toddler stage of development on pistols in my opinion. I think they are coming along and are for vetted to use now, but they got a long way to go. I have no doubt that 10 years from now we will be having discussions about how bad the current dots suck and how nobody should ever buy them. The RMR is for sure a sub optimal dot, especially the type 1, due to needing to remove it to get to the battery.

[@ArmadilloArmament]

Great video. I have a talo G45 coming in soon as well.

[@alecswann7234]

Let me add, I actually LIKE the standard plastic Glock sights. They work for me. I have never liked the Red Dots, just does not work for me. The alternate I would argue for, are the Green lasers that go around the grip or cooler, in the recoil plug. Also, you need to stock up: on primers, powder, brass, and bullets, dies and a loader. The beauty of reloading with revolvers is you can shoot even during a panic. You can also tailor your load -- that Manurhin does not need full power .357 to cycle. Also, rent a Ruger GP 100 with the rubber grips (Hogue). Try it -- I see very reduced felt recoil with that compared to wood grips on the same revolver. Seriously rent one for a while and shoot with it extensively. And yes, Glocks ARE cool. It has its own cool, not a revolver cool (and the Storm is awesome too). I love my Glocks, but the 10mm are the best in my opinion.

[@TheOl1911]

I really wanted to try to carry that MR73 but it just never happened. I'll do a vid next on that. But yes the Storm I'm really enjoying and shooting it well for a DA/SA its got me thinking hahaha

[@crowoperator9180]

I just upgraded today too. previously I used hammer fired with iron ones. i bought a walther pdp prp compact with red dot. I hope it will be worth the praise it gets.

[@mitcheloverton2817]

Are you sure this video wasn’t meant to be posted on April fools day? lol. Seriously though, that’s cool! I love that Glock is starting to ship some of their stuff w/ Acros already mounted!

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

9mm has spoiled me, but it also has increased my range work and that is always a good thing, IMO. I crossed that point where it clicked in my mind, too, that if I'm training so much w/1 platform, I should be carrying it as well. 👍👍

[@chrischiampo7647]

I’m an Old Fudd I Still Carry a 1911 😩😩😭😭😐

[@T-lineman]

I love glocks and shoot them well. But due to noassatall syndrome a j frame or something around 1 pound is all i can edc this time of year

[@lenholt7419]

There goes the neighborhood...The Neighbors at it again. Now if memory serves isn't his the guy that still owns a Wilson ULC? What happened there? If it has an internal extractor, give Bob Reeves at Nighthawk a call and have that IOS system installed a Fantastic method of mounting a dot. Feel like Irons? Ok 15 seconds later you got irons. Want to shoot the Dot? Ok 15 seconds later you got the dot.....It maintains zero when swapping. Use the Force Luke. The Dark Side is powerful. I drank the Glock koolaid in the 80's and just within the last year have finally, (Got there as soon as I could) started exploring the 1911.. There can be only one. Live long and prosper. Great Vid. Now we can argue about which Dot is better.

[@ogdadbod]

I thought I’d seen several of these factory cut for the mailbox

[@HHI44]

At 60yrs of age, I’ve been shooting and carrying revolvers and 1911’s a long time. When the Glocks and M&P’s came out I didn’t want to like them. After owning dozens of both brands, carrying and liking both, I fine myself going back to the simplicity of the Glock. Complete disassembly for cleaning and maintenance is much easier with a Glock than the Smith. I’m still carrying revolvers (snubbies) but it’s hard to beat the DARKSIDE!

[@sparky_-mf2cs]

Damned if you do damned if you dont

[@paybydai3420]

Hey it’s ok welcome to the Glock world 🫶🏾

[@Mitsurifan357]

You can’t fight change. It’s hard to deny that carrying an auto loader is a much easier setup than trying to carry a revolver. I think it’s time I put the revolver away as well. I’ll still have my custom 586 but for every day work it’ll be a 9mm

[@TheOl1911]

Well I still depend on my j-frame a ton. That will never go away. The Pug Nose though is still doable for carry I believe. But yes it is limited. I really wanted to try to carry the MR73 but it just never happened.

[@ericg649]

Thanks for the video!!! Question: if you are going to carry that size of light, why not carry a G17 or G34??

[@sethmarcek1648]

Blue label. Nice

Ran through all videos,interesting to see your gun evolution if that makes sense. What’s your thoughts of Glock 30 gen 5 in 45.

Only thing I would change is the light. Surefire not worth the money. TLR 1HL just as good half the provide or even the TLR 7x HL is a better choice.

[@shaimizrahi2199]

Glock 45 9mm is the greatest Glock ever made, 2nd greatest is the Glock 30 Gen 5 .45 Caliber. In NY (10rd minimum) so I use my G30. Everywhere else my G45. That said, now all you need to make your G45 beyond amazing and deadly accurate is a KKM Precision Stainless Steel Barrel and a Timney Alpha Competition Trigger. Red dots are fun and I want to have my G30-G5 milled for Acro P2. Admittedly, solely for aesthetic reasons as I want that mailbox on my thick G30-G5 Slide. That sounded funny. Moving on… I don’t ever use red dots in combat or for home defense as I’m already a deadly shot. Nor do I ever take chances when it comes to protecting my family or my life, for this reason. On that one day when that dot fails or breaks and my eyes don’t feel like lining up my sights through a mailbox or any red dot, especially when milliseconds are all you have between life and death situations, hence, I’ll go with iron sights all day & night or early morning… you get my meaning! My G45 is equipped with Surefire X300T-B, KKM Barrel, Timney Alpha and TFX Pro Day/Night Sights. The way these sights line up regardless of tritium/fiber are simply perfect. However, on my G30-G5 I use Trijicon HD XR Night Sights. I will consider adding these sights to my G45 as I love them on my G30! Night sights do nothing when using a weapon light or Flash light and the U-Notch on these make a perfect sight picture when utilizing any light. Lastly, your Acro P2 would be better served by milling the slide vs MOS mount. as the Acro P2 sits deeper in the slide thus not requiring suppressor height sights. Food for thought folks and that’s it!

[@positivereactions4044]

Good choice

[@trackntrail2869]

If you're going to put a long light on the front why not just use a G17?

[@Faded0811]

Because he didn’t actually think about it, just bought the package that came that way from Glock.

[@johnsingleton-p5u]

Where did you find one of these with the slide already milled for the acro specifically?

[@tigerman3]

Nothing wrong with being a Fudd. (Love your who cares what people think attitude!) I've rotated some Glocks into my EDC rotation as the weather warms up. However, I still have some Fudd in me and my wheel guns handy as either a backup or truck gun.

[@Mark-o2e]

I want to like Glock so much but all 3 ive bought, ive traded. I just dont like them, and if i have to buy a new trigger, new sights, etc, to "like" the gun.....ill just buy something else.

[@brionlincoln2534]

Look everyone, a black polymer pistol… This would have been a great April 1st video. Watched your channel for years because you carried/shot very cool guns. Hopefully you’ll at least continue to show and tell them because no-one who follows you wants to see you fawn over a Glock…

[@monkey6430]

Once you 'click' with the dot it's so hard to go back. The positive click and retention from the kydex is so fast and satisfying, try out some discreet carry clips once the plastics break. More content mo better.

[@sprocket8934]

Is the Spohr that hard to get here? It sounds like this place MMBI Imports will do it. I haven't researched yet. Waiting on the inevitable 8round 357 on the larger frame they're doing.

[@TheOl1911]

I've talked to 4 owners and they told me they all went through MMBI and one guy just told me it took a while for it to be released by US Customs? Another guy told me he misunderstood and though the GB listing meant MMBI had them in stock ready to ship to his FFL but no - the listings are just to secure an order. He said it took about 10 weeks to get. The other guy told me he loves the gun but would not buy another one and recommended I stick to Korth? So I'm just not 100% onboard with Spohr yet. I do want a 284 or maybe 283 Carry model. Better yet the Club Edition 3.0 looks intriguing. I think Spohr needs to find a US firearms Mfg to be their sole importer. It would definitely push them in the states if a company could bring in a ton of them at once and get them into the market...we shall see.

[@sprocket8934]

@TheOl1911 Very interesting. I appreciate the extra context. Ya, agreed. I'm taking my sweet time, and might even wait until they get a a foothold here. I can't even imagine needing a repair.

[@baptistgaming91]

My younger brother after shooting one of my RMR glocks once told me "it's like a cheat code for accuracy and speed" and he was right. Once you learn to use the dot it's hard to go back.

First time battery died so it was a fluke. Second time could have been user error? Not sure. I had to remove it and put it back on to get it to work again. This was a RM01 model.

[@alecswann7234]

Nothing wrong with a Glock. Plenty wrong (for civilians) with 9mm, in my opinion. In order to be effective, 9mm needs to be +P or +P+, with a chemically bonded jacket hollow point. Only through a BIG increase in velocity (and recoil, blast, pressure) can you make a 124 grain hollowpoint from a 9mm (with much narrower hollow point mouth) effective. The issue is training: civilians practice with 115 grain ball because its cheap. POA/POI, recoil, muzzle rise, blast, etc are so radically different from duty/carry ammo above that civilians when switching to duty ammo have radically decreased accuracy. Its like that old .38 special for training, .357 magnum for duty/carry. All those "teams" and other high speed, low drag guys get "free" (they pay for it in other ways) training ammo that matches: recoil, blast, pressure etc of duty ammo. Train with +P+ and you will wear out your Glockjust like with a .40 cal Glock Gen 4 and down. [Gen 5 has a beefier slide.] Of course 9mm disappears under any panic buying, you can't press it into service for bear defense, or hogs, or hunt deer with it if need be. Let me suggest: Glock 29, SF or Gen 5, with the Pearce pinky extension (keep the 10 round magazine). Compared to the Glock 30 it sticks out less, you still have a pinky grip, and you have 10mm. With careful load selection you get basically the improved .45 ACP Cooper was looking for: .40 cal bullet weighing 200 grains moving at 1000 ft per second. Compared to even 185 grain .45 ACP you get improved hollow point performance, and a much flatter shooting cartridge that is STILL controllable and an "all arounder." Good for up close with controlled pairs, good for 40 yards out which is increasingly common for people these days. A Glock is more rust-resistant in Summer Carry. Its lighter. The 29 can even carry in a fanny pack if you want to rock the James Reeves look, and he carries it, in Louisiana, in the Summer. Check out the 29, load it with Winchester Silvertips, or Federal, as close to that 200 grain / 1000 ft per second mark. Totally controllable and straightforward to shoot with some effort. Avoid: SIG's barn-burners. You don't need Norma 10mm in the 29, just "improved .45 ACP."

Call me weird, but I think Glocks are the best looking plastic guns and do look 'cool'. Kinda like how Japanese cars have too many busy lines when compared to 'clean' looking Geman cars. And the plain design signifies that the gun is an actual tool.

No need to jump down to platic my friend. Come to the Sig world, my recommendations P365 AXG Legion, P320 AXG Legion, and the Tac daddy P226 X5 AXG Legion. Also ive had a Acro fail me with condensation. I recommend RCR or Holosun SCS for your mos glock, smaller enclosed sites and better imo. I went from glocks, to 2011's, now im on the Sig Legion train as my small P365 Axg legion carry gun out shoots alot of my much more expensive larger guns.

Glocks are outdated. There are better options on the market updated out of the box without spending more on aftermarket accessories. Glock still has not admitted to or fixed some of their models that have dangerous unsupported chambers. Glocks do not have manual safeties for those that want them. Glocks have a skewed grip angle so that they are not pointable without changing your grip. Glocks have polygonal barrels rather than rifled barrels not allowing the use of lead bullets. No thanks. I never liked Glocks from the beginning for just these reasons.

[@lenholt7419]

Yes Sir They are. One could say its better than a HiPoint though. They are the #2 Ft. Ticonderoga Yellow Pencil of the Gun World. I did shoot a Zev recently with a Timmney Aloha Trigger. I liked it! Finally a decent trigger on an... Improved Glock.

[@LionquestFitness]

Glocks have always been point and shoot for me. When I was first issued a Glock 22 years ago my initial reaction was - how can anyone miss with this gun? But, many do. A lot depends on your hand size, configuration, and strength. I'm a revolver guy, but the Glock 19 is my go to for when I feel the need for high capacity.
