Glock17 Everything you need to know.

What more can be said about this iconic pistol? Plenty! Today I give my perspective on a firearm that goes with me every day, every where. What it takes to choose, carry, care for and trust my life to a pistol that changed the mind of the world on what a plastic pistol is and should be.

G17 is my favorite Glock. It is phenomenal in every single category. Capacity, looks, compatibility and RELIABILITY. The damn thing eats all ammo. Brass case, aluminum case, steel case, hollow points, fmj, 115gr, 124gr, 147gr, etc. When you insert a loaded mag, you know it is going to run no matter what. And that is why I will always choose Glock

Yes. If you’ve grown up seeing them in movies and stuff like that it’s the way a gun should look. But if you grew up a little earlier when revolvers and 1911’s were what guns looked like then it’s just simple. Maybe too simple for some. But I like it too. Not at first but I sure do now.

[@alexyu6928]

I really like Glock pistols for the main reason that they don't have an external safety lever/switch. When a situation is so critical and stressful it is very possible that you might forget to disengage the external safety and the pistol won't go bang when needs to or re-engage the safety after the threat is gone. Glock makes it simple and all forms of safety: drop safe, firing pin block, trigger pull are all controlled by your trigger finger and you don't have to think about it or forget something. That alone is a lifesaving feature everybody should appreciate.

[@jamescarter4175]

Hey Max, .Just wanted to tell you that this video is absolutely perfect. I'm 65 years of age and have been carrying both open and concealed starting while I was in the military and overseas for 3 years in the 1970s. Upon ETS'ing from the military, I then carried both openly and concealed. I was very proficient with the M - 16, Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun, which I equate to the Glock. It's also so very smooth, easy to clean, and in my humble opinion, it's the absolute best 12 gauge shotgun. Also utilized the Ruger Mini - 14, which again is perfect. Our department switched from S & W .357 magnum, and switched to the Glock 17. I always carry my Glock 17 Gen. 4, wherever I go. Usually, I carry it just as it is, no holster, in the front of my blue jeans or other pants. You're correct about always having a round chambered and ready to go. In so many quick, unexpected chaos scenarios, in the time it takes to rack a round into the chamber, those precious seconds make the difference between ending up in the hospital or giving funeral directors more business. Wish you all the best, brother. 👍👍

Once I bought my first Glock, I never looked back. I call it the Ultimate Combat & Self Defense weapon.

I now am retired and my EDC is a Glock43, which I call my Old Man Gun and at 76 years old this has become my favorite self defense weapon. Although I must admit at times I do carry my Ruger LCP II in my Pocket holster and this has been my most reliable .380 for deep concealment!

That’s probably because you as well as most newer gun buyers are used to seeing Glocks in movies, tv and video games. It’s now the standard of awesomeness in handguns. But when they first came out that standard was 1911’s, Beretta’s and revolvers. Compared to those guns the Glock looked pretty plain. I agree. Now I love the simple, no nonsense design of the Glock.

I can tell you are devoted to your brand! I am too but it took time for me. I’m guessing I’m a little bit older and cool for my generation involved either revolvers or a hammer on an all steel gun.

The Glock functions at or higher than the level of the wondernine class (Berettas, Sigs, etc), but it weighs significantly less and that is CRUCIAL when you have to haul it all day every day. Even the Glock 21 is far lighter than most .45's and metal 9mm's, and has 13+1 to boot. Fantastic handguns

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

True that!

[@ALb3RtO1010]

Great video! Very informative. Thank you.

[@tunerrestorations]

Love your content. Finally got a Glock 17 after years of wanting one. Living in Florida and spending a lot of time outdoors a firearm is a must. And the Glock 17 gen 3 is the most sensible gun I have shot.

[@unregisteredassaultbutterk1185]

I'm a complete novice and the majority of my knowledge on guns comes from a smattering of youtube videos, just applied for my CW license. I chose glock because it's popular for CC, but really because to me its one of the few truly "futuristic" looking guns that is aesthetically pleasing, which I know is ironic considering it was first developed in the 80's but I can't shake the feeling that I'm holding some piece of space age tech in my hands. Don't get why so many rag on its appearance.

[@bambamthecamocowboy9037]

I Love My Ole Glock 17 Gen 3, I've Been Seriously Thinking About Getting A 26 Too!

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

Bam Bam The CamoCowboy The 26 takes a bit of getting used to but once you do it’s easier to carry and can do pretty much anything it’s big brother can do. Sharing mags is a huge plus as well.

[@tonylopez5239]

Love my glocks, I have the 17,19,26, and the 30sf

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

Tony Lopez A relative of mine just got the 30sf and he showed it to me. I was really impressed. Not much bigger than my 26 and same capacity in 45! Plus a rail! Pretty amazing. Got me thinking 🤔. I don’t know how Glock does it.

[@tonylopez5239]

@@MaxHeadspace9mm yeah man its amazing now I dont know what it is about it. But I am more accurate with the 30sf than the 26.

I might the only new gun owner who loved Glock from the jump😂 I didn’t look at anything else when I went to academy. Seen the Glock 17, held it , and bought it. That was back in June, love it and won’t buy any other handgun but Glock

[@jabwana9946]

I think the Glock 17 is more easier to manage. By the size of the grip.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

I agree. I can manage a 19 or even a 26 just fine but a full grip is best. And a Hogue rubber grip cover makes it the best feeling grip ever.

[@RevGunn-jq3cq]

If you beat enough heads with a 2x4 you will enjoy the Glock grip, it’s about the same

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

Rev. Gunn Haha! I like the analogy but I beat my own head with a 2x4 till I liked it. Now I’m part of the club 😆😆😆

Unless you have tiny munchkin hands with greasy shoestring fingers I can't image how a person with normal to large size hands couldn't be comfortable with the Gen 4 slimmer well stipled grip..

My recommendation is the 19 it's the best of both worlds to me.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

And you share that opinion with most Glock 9mm owners. I got a gen1 Glock 17 first and then as a backup/ concealed carry gun got the 26. I’ve never had a 19 but I can see the appeal.

[@Fritzy2379]

actually the 45 would be the best of both worlds lol

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

Pauls Country Yeah. It’s been moving that direction for some time. I’m not sure why but there are so many things being done right now to develop the 9mm cartridge- hollow points with expansion similar to that of 45. I’ve also seen some specialty ammo ( I picked up a few boxes) that will reach a velocity of around 2,000 fps out of a 4” barrel. Exciting times.

In the “gun culture” when a “firearms enthusiast” rattles on while at the sales counter no one cares what he has to say. It’s normally ridiculous nonsense! Many stores and police departments have a grip display that allows a person to see which Glock handgun fits their hand in order to help in considering a purchase or to aid in issuing a firearm. Some police agencies issue handguns by fit also which is probably a good idea. Some stores/ranges have firearms available to test fire. People may want a particular firearm for whatever reason but that company/manufacturer may not make a model that adequately fits their hand. So it may be unpleasant to shoot and they’re not very accurate with it and they will blame the firearm. Especially years ago when people were making the transition from revolvers to semi-autos. Woo that was a dangerous time. I belong to a large club and members will allow other members to test their firearms if they are interested. As in any potentially dangerous hobby new enthusiasts should take their time in selecting a firearm and other equipment ie: quality ear and eye protection. Training, training and more training is very important also. There is allot to learn and it takes time to become proficient. Finally, Glock firearms is a great place to start. More than likely Glock makes a firearm that will fit your hand, man or women and their firearms are very reliable.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

Apk Darter Well said🤔

[@Jh0ac]

As a new firearms owner, I took a self defense class where the instructor brought his firearms for us to shoot after the fact. I really liked the g17 over the 19 because of the grip space. I also went to the range and rented a few other pistols and reconfirmed I really liked the g17. I'm in California so CCWs are next to impossible to get, so concealing the firearm wasn't too big of a factor in my decision.
