Glock 17 Gen 4

[@BattleForcePvP]

I really dont understand why so many people hate the looks of Glock pistols. I think the glock 17 is the best looking pistol to ever exist. Simple, yet still badass.

[@macw9482]

Zevinox Then you must like ugly women... Glocks are hideous. If you want a pretty gun get an XDM or 1911.

9mm ammo.has a tendency to drill upon impact of say - a hind qtr. of beef , or the torso of a pedifile in flight from a cop - without doing much tissue damage as compared to a .45 cal. cartridge for example. you will tear that meat up a lot better if you'll go ahead and spend that extra money on some hollow point ammo. for the G-17 - in my humble opinion.

My old man was my go to for all gun advice for 38 awesome years, but he died last month. He left me with approx 40 different firearms. Some were gifts through the years the others I inherited. I was never raised around the polymers but have fallen in love with a few of them latley. Simplicity is stylish to me, more accurate than I am and very practical. Oh thats right, I was commenting to say that I really enjoy listening to Hickock talk.

Hickok, Just bought my first Glock based on lots of research concluding with this video. Bought a brand new Gen4 17, lubed it how you recommend, and just returned from the first outing. Absolutely could not be happier. 0 malfunctions, unbelievable out of box accuracy. I shoot this better than a beretta 92A1. Im a officially a Glock fan. Thanks for the great vid

Ever notice how glock haters complaints never involve the function of the gun, just the way it looks or feels. They can't say it doesn't work. I'm with you hikok ,

[@hickok45]

Yep. There are exceptions, of course, because no gun is perfect, but anybody who has a serious problem with the Glock usually bases it on looks or feels in their hands. OR, they have a serious problem with limp wristing and blame it on the firearm. I think that happens sometimes and not just with Glocks.

[@OLJackson]

hickok45 I'm a Sig guy and own the Sig p226 40 and sp2022 9mm. I shot a Glock 21 45acp, and loved it. Held the Glock 17 Gen4 and Glock 19 Gen4 and no issues. Felt like a glove. I'm 6'2 248 and have huge hands. I love Glock too as well as Sig and Beretta but a Glock 17 Gen4 will do it for me as a CCW brother.

How can people complain about another Glock video? This is Hickok45. The occasional Glock video should be expected. Actually, I think it's been a while. Good to see the G17 join the ranks.

[@sensey111]

Just some info I’ve acquired during Glock Armorer Training and use of my own Glock 17 Gen 4. • They now fire each gun 7 times and should include 2 of the shells in an envelope with the gun • They use Blazer AL in most of the common calibers. • The copper lube they use on the guns from the factory is no longer necessary and they stopped doing it for a while. There was one guy at the factory responsible for this. After they stopped, they got complaints and they stated applying it again. I think it had something to do with the change in finish from the Tennifer process to the Nitration process they use now. • They don’t recommend using nitrate based solvents, as it can discolor the Nitration finish. It can be fixed by merely rubbing in some gun oil. Otherwise they say you can use any lube or cleaner specified for gun use. • They do recommend that you field strip, clean and lube a brand new gun. They tell you not to take the copper off, but since it really isn’t required anymore, then it should hurt anything. • The only place you shouldn’t lube a Glock is inside the magazine and in the firing pin channel. • Out of my multitude of firearms, I have only 3 that have performed flawlessly, my G17, AK-47 and my S&W Model 66 and all with over a 1000 rounds or more through them. I have a pretty good AR, but I have had a few type II failures in the 1000 rounds I’ve shot through it. • I’ve taken apart almost every firearm I own and the Glock is by far the easiest and simplest firearm to field and detail strip and reassemble. One more thing, I don’t think people appreciate how good a shot you are. You make it look easy, but I know that what you make look so easy, is really hard for most people. Myself included.

[@scottharrington1309]

When I first saw a Glock pistol that a friend of mine bought when they first came out compared to a let's say Smith and Wesson 9mm. Or Colt , I thought the Glock looked like a Station Wagon compared to a Corvette! But over the years the look of the Glock 17 Gen 4 to me is a comparison to a Land Rover or a Military Hummer! The reason for that is because compared to "ALL" other gun's, a Glock will save your ass long after like you say a zombie apocalypse scenario is over and the other brands are being recycled into engine blocks! And I quote " They Just Shoot " And keep shooting and shooting and shooting!!! So needless to say, I think their a piece of engineering excellence. That's all I have to say about that.

[@sbrazenor2]

I've been shooting a Glock 17 most of my adult life. It has always been rock solid and reliable for me. I have only had a couple of feed issues, which was actually caused by bad ammo. The ammo was old and not stored well. Some of it was sunk in to the casing. Some of it was tarnished and looked like shit. It was easily over a decade old and a few of the rounds just didn't have the kick to fully cycle the slide. Besides that, which was one time at a range and maybe 3 rounds, I've never had a problem with a Glock. (I own 3 of them at the moment.)

[@silvershroud166]

Exactly the same testament I have with mine. Three glocks for me as well, 17, 21, and 42. I love all three of them. Well my ammo wasn’t 10 years old, but it was low quality bulk ammo and just didn’t have enough pop to fully cycle the slide in 3/300 rounds but other than that no issues. My 21 has never given me a problem, and same with my 42.

The thing I love about Glock handguns is they are designed to FUNCTION. They aren’t there to win a beauty contest…they are there to WORK. When I got my G17, I fully cleaned it before shooting it. That copper lubricant looks almost identical to copper anti-seize compound. It’ll lubricate the gun, but it isn’t a dedicated gun oil or grease (I use a combination of Hoppes oil on mine with MPRO7 gun grease on the slide rails). I have a Gen 3, have about 3K through it with no issues. When I clean it, I use an ultrasonic cleaner, so it still looks like new.
