I didn’t know a person in Austria could own a Glock 17. Greetings from the US and thanks for your countries contributions to the firearms world.

[@RaderizDorret]

I have a hypothesis as to why so many people balked over the Glock not having a manual safety. As standard, it has a 5.5 lb trigger pull while a DA/SA (for the first shot while decocked) or DAO pistol and a double action revolver has a long travel, 10-12 lb pull on average. This means that if something unintentionally gets into the trigger guard of the Glock, there is much less room for error. Additionally, hammer-fired guns offer the user the ability to use their thumb to block the gun from firing while holstering which increases the safety factor. Having to pull the Glock's trigger for disassembly also probably put their nerves on edge. Now I'm not saying the Glock is a bad gun. The Glock 19 is the gun I recommend to most people because it hits that sweet spot of ease of use, effective cartridge, and is small enough to be pretty easily concealed while being big enough to fight with. But the Glock design tends to be very unforgiving of mental lapses when handling them and I can see why people can get a bit sketched out by them.

[@gurugoguzhanson]

You can get a custom part that makes the rear plate act as a "hammer", so you can use it with the thumb technique to make sure the gun doesn't fire when re-holstering. There is also a custom heavier trigger made for the New York Police. I thought about getting both, if I ever wanted to switch over to the Glock, at least till I got comfortable with the striker fired gun.

I love my Glock 21. It is the smoothest shooting 45 out there.

[@darkoflight4938]

If we are talking about a production model, then yes, HK VP70 is the first polymer frame pistol made about 1970. However, if we are talking about the first ever made working polymer pistol, then it`s the Russian TKB-023. That was basically a Makarov with a polymer frame made already in 1963. Now, it never flew so HK it is. Nitpicking maybe but there it is. Regarding the 45 GAP. My humble guess for it´s lack of success is the "reborn" 9mm and then other gun manufacturers lack of interest in it which is a mixture of pride and envy. At least S&W wouldn´t produce a gun in that caliber now when Glock beat them in the 40S&W case. No matter what, it´s a great round. Great educational video!!!! You are one of my absolute favorite gun channels here.

[@clark8250]

I can’t get enough of your videos.. binging like crazy.. If I may make a special request. What is your thoughts on the Sig Sauer DAK? I have this gun, and over time, this trigger system has grown on me, and has become my favorite! From much practice and reps, I’ve learned to manipulate the trigger to hit that reset just perfectly, and it is every bit as fas as a DA/SA... any day of the week. And the reason I love this trigger is because it keeps me “on the trigger”, constantly and always working the trigger and having constant and unlimited trigger feedback.. I know Sig discontinued the DAK, and it greatly disappointed me, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on this trigger system. I believe the Secret Service issued the DAK for a small period of time, as did the U.S. Coast Guard (I think). Anyway, perhaps you already have talked about the DAK, but if not, would really like to hear your thoughts on it.

[@gregsummers7350]

Another outstanding presentation. The passion of a confident and capable professional. Glock ARE Tier 1 (military grade) pistols that are designed to be fully maintained by the soldier in the field. The big Glock 10mm is carried by Danish SF as personal defence gun for polars bears (they are the big 12 ft tall bastards). I first researched the Glock pistol in 1980. Gaston Glock was an engineer - not a gunsmith, so parts had to be interlocking and NOT retained by roll pins or screws and NO minute springs. Sub-assemblies like the captive recoil guide rod and the trigger bar assembly each count as one part. I have owned (G 17, G 19, G 22, G 23, G 26, G 27, G 35), I had to convert the .40 cal models to 9x19mm with 5" / 127mm barrels when the gun laws changed in Australia. No problems, drop-in A-M barrels and kept shooting legally. I fired 130+K rounds in 12 years through my G 19, G 23, G 26, G 27 & G 35; my only problem was with reloaded ammo, NO pistol failures! I fitted the Extended Slide Release and Extended Magazine Release and polished the internal contact surfaces (called the 25 cent trigger job) for a smooth trigger pull. Full detailed Strip @ 33:00 to 52:00. That is how long it takes to learn and teach any soldier! For a while I was the XO of my SF commando Coy (I was a specialist), one of my duties was inspecting the toys in our armoury. The Browning HP Mk 3 & H&K USP are intended to keep unit armourers in full lifetime employment. Every time the lads took their pistols swimming in the ocean they would clean them afterwards and secure them in the armoury. After a few days all screw, internal parts were rusted by residual salt water requiring $150 in parts change out per pistol, do this for 80 - 100 pistol 7 to 9 times a year and the unit repair cost mount up. I took my G23, G 26 and G 35 to show the unit armourer. First he said. "I am not qualified to work on them." So I showed with my G 26, as detailed in this video and then had him do my G 35. "So easy and most of the parts are common. This is what our unit needs: but don't show anyone as this will put me out of a full time job." Soldier or SEALs with a can of air can do a full armour clean of a Glock after a salt water immersion, NO other handgun can match this ease of maintenance, All the support staff of my SF carried the HP Mk 3. I took my G 26 to a range shoot, a 5 round mag for familiarization and then a 5 rd mag at the CQB 8" target at 15 m. All the support staff shot a lot tighter groups in less time with the G 26 than their larger issued pistols. Those lesser pistols with internal chassis are forced this way by Glock's innovative patents. Kind regards to all our crew from Greg in Thailand (no guns for white guys here)

[@Rwalt61]

One of the most informative videos about the Glock. A friend at work has the G17 and he is trying to get me to buy one and as soon as I can afford it I think I might.

[@thelastsheepdog]

GREAT PRESENTATION !! I'm a retired LEO and 03/17 USMC. I was there in the late 80's when we transferred from revolvers to G22 I still carry a G23 with a G27 backup. Everyone else carries a 1911 clone, but they can't out shoot me with the 40 S&W. GLOCKS are the best handguns ever made.

Polygon barrels aren't good for non-jacketed lead bullets(catastrophic failure). Even hard cast lead bullets. 3:54 Use fmjs under water, no hollowpoints. Hollowpoints will cause a catastrophic failure underwater. 32:58 recoil spring durability and gen4 recoil spring reduces recoil.

[@benwild8706]

The primary, perhaps only, flaw to the Glock frame, is the small physical size of the trigger guard. Just a little larger and it would be (more) perfect.

[@leroyjenkins4811]

I agree. I wish Glock would do something about that. Shooting a Glock with gloves on is awkward to say the least.

[@MrTrenttness]

Excellent modern history lesson. I love long in-depth video's like this! One small suggestion? Use a lighter cover for your table. It will make the weapons easier to see. Again, this was great. And I don't even own a Glock. Best wishes.

[@hankhill3417]

The model 17 coincidentally has 17 round capacity. It was Gaston Glock’s 17th patent

[@JG54206]

I’ve said it before… I can’t believe .357 Sig never took off big. I thought for sure the performance out of a semi auto pistol would have appealed to all who wanted more than 9mm. I think the reason LE wasn’t happy about not having a manual safety when these came around maybe was because they had come to expect that with things like a 1911 or Beretta. The fact that a Glock has no hammer to visually indicate a cocked stated vs uncocked also maybe didn’t help ease any concerns.

[@noncompliant209cali]

I've been trying to find out but haven't had luck. Was the Glock the first semi automatic handgun without a manual safety?

[@JG54206]

I’m also curious about this.

[@barcelona2170]

I love this video. I am new to the Glock game and stayed away because "I didn't want to be a Glock fanboy." Well I'm one now after purchasing my first Glock not to long ago. Is the Glock best at anyone thing? No. But it's so good at a lot that I just feel confident in it after getting some rounds through it and training. I'm going to be getting a Glock 42 soon. Also if actually like to see Glock make an updated light.

[@panzerman22]

Glock the Honda civic of handguns.👍

[@generitaldato794]

Although a very good weapon, this issue is not that there is no safety, but rather a unusually light trigger without a safety. There have been many recorded negligent discharges due to this. You compare this to a revolver with no safety but the safety was a 10-12 ld trigger pull as compared to a 5.5 lb with the Glock.

[@leifhoklin2681]

Nothing wrong with the pistol. This is a training issue.

[@efreutel]

[@Wedgetail96]

Great video. I am surprised that you didn’t elude to the HK USP when discussing the Gen 4 dual recoil spring, designed to reduce recoil and wear on the firearm. Surprised given your purported respect for the USP which is demonstrated in your similar video about that line of firearms. It utilized that mechanism since it’s introduction in the early 90s.

[@SmallArmsSolutions]

The USP full size recoil reduction mechanism is very different from the Glock Gen 4

[@IrfanOmercic]

Hello and thank you for great content and videos! I'd really appreciate if you could share your opinion or experience with us regarding the durability of Glock polymer parts and frames when we are talking about general everyday use like dropping them on concrete floors or just scratching them by hard objects with everyday use. Do you feel that metal frame pistols would handle better this kind of abuse? Also, what is your opinion about Glocks as heirloom handguns which can be passed to next generations. We've seen functional 100 year old metal handguns. But do you believe that Glocks would still function after 50 or 100 plus years after being exposed to direct sun light, moisture and ozone? Thanks a lot!

Firing your Glock underwater will also cavitate small pits out of your chamber & barrel, and you WILL destroy your ear drums. The only way to shoot a Glock under water with your head underwater is to have a very special suppressor on the pistol. Glock 17s are used to take lionfish by SCUBA divers.

[@jeffgenchi5863]

I try other brand guns, but I like simple and reliable because when stuff goes out I need to fix it fast and easy. With just a punch a person can completely take it down. My G29 SF broke the locking block. I ran over to a Glock store in my area that sold parts and for around $15 and 1 min I installed the block with new pins and I was off and running. For Good measure I replaced the recoil spring. The 29 is still my favorite Glock next to my always trusty and go to G26 Gen 4. I just keep going back to Glocks. I always looks at available repair parts for guns I buy because I want to fix them myself to get them running fast. I hate sending them in. I have found aside from sights and mags most guns you have to get parts from the manufacturer or just send them in. I don't care much for warranties. I don't mind $10 hear or there of I need it. But Glock has a great warranty as well I just choose to do my own work. For the Glock haters the G29 is the only issue I have ever had with Glocks and the gun was working with the broken block flawlessly. I only found it when I was doing one of my standard inspections after so many rounds where I do a full tear down. Great video.

I absolutely respect Glock, especially they're reliability. But the "glock kaboom" is an issue. A literal saying in the firearm community is saying something. I know you've had excellent experiences, but as a range officer, I've seen multiple gen 2 through 4 explode... None of which had reloads, all firing standard ball. That, and the fact that rain renders them useless, even with "maritime cups". Plus, no second strike capability. Too many KZbin videos about that.... some of which are quite comical. Great video

[@duck-n-cover477]

Glock is NOT "safer" than a modern revolver (S&W reference). To be fair, no striker fired pistol that doesn't have a manual safety, is safer. Yes, neither have a manual safety/lock. On a Glock, if you impinge the trigger (with anything that touches the paddle) all safeties downstream are defeated. A Glock has about a 6 lbs trigger pull while a stock revolver's DA pull is about 9 to 11 lbs. Also, the trigger travel is longer on a revolver. The heavy pull weight and long travel, improve safety for the user. Also a revolver has a drop safety (actually has two) AND and external hammer that can be thumbed while holstering. A thumb break over the hammer spur also "locks" the action. Some older style holsters for didn't even shroud the trigger and trigger guard...wasn't necessary. A tight holster body would also hold a revolver's cylinder, helping prevent it from turning (if the trigger or hammer were manipulated while holstered). I want to be clear, all firearms are inherently dangerous, but I'm just saying some are a little safer for the user than others. Glock is safe, but others are safer. At the end when you caution not to use non-Glock parts, you refer to M16 with its approximate 5 lb pull weight, BUT the M16 has a manual safety! Still like the video...lots of great info except for the Glock marketing bias regarding their "Safe Action" LOL.

[@SmallArmsSolutions]

Duck-n-Cover I would disagree. The striker in the Glock is not at a full load until the trigger is pulled all the way to the rear just before the drop safety engages. I have always been amazed by the “unintentional discharges” people have. The trigger has to be pulled all the way to the rear. The trigger safety has to be disengaged. Trigger guards help the possibility of snagging but something has to depress that trigger safety.
