Cloning pistols issued to SOCOM in general and SF in particular is hard since the units have a very liberal idea of what constitutes "unauthorized modification". it is quite common to see a team of 12 dudes and none of their weapons are the same at all. Privately purchased sights, lights, magazine releases, slide stops, etc.

[@InferiorRifles]

This goes for pretty much any rifle or pistol issued to SOCOM. Generally, cloners will either use contracted parts to clone an “average” gun of that type, or we’ll clone a specific rifle from one or more reference photos.

I spent many years as an NCO marksmanship instructor teaching rifle and pistol. It was quite easy to correct bad habits when it came to rifle but people seem to have this attitude that they’re still gonna do what they wanna do when it comes to shooting a pistol. They think they know better than the instructors. It’s no wonder their scores always sucked. There’s a reason there are only a few tried and trued ways to shoot a pistol if you want to make reliable hits. If you don’t learn them or you think your way is better, you will miss. My unit was squared away but we often had to run ranges and teach other units. I absolutely hated it. The people we tried to teach never adapted to the training well and never took it seriously. Nothing was learned and nothing was accomplished. It’s amazing but many people in the military don’t actually shoot, train with, handle, or own firearm in their private lives outside of the military. So they never get used to them. If you’re lower enlisted and live in the barracks, you can’t have a firearm. If you live on post in government housing, you can have a firearm but registering it with the Provost Marshall is a hassle. If there are any domestic situations and that gun is mentioned, you could be arrested and kicked out of the military. If you live off post, you can’t conceal carry back and forth to and from post, not since 9/11 anyway. You’re not supposed to. It’s a big mess. All these rules are in place.

Gen 4 was available both MOS and non-MOS. Gen 5 they didn't do Pro-version anymore, but threaded barrel version is being sold. I bought myself G19 gen5 threaded version in December and have Holosun 509T on it. I also have B&T Impuls II Compact suppressor.

What is a “Pro” version? Does it say “Pro” on the box or the gun as an official Glock designation or is that just a term that the finnish Glock importer decided on for the threaded barrel models?

[@NP-cq3vb]

The reason G19's in Finland all have threaded barrels is because without it, it goes into 'taskuase' ('pocket pistol') category by a few mm. I think it's because of Glock's different grip angle, since most other handguns of the same size don't need the threaded barrel to be okay (CZ P10C for example)

I've heard from different sources that the 14.5mm barrel is superior over the 1/2×28 one because it doesn't back out when firing. Have glocks with both types, never noticed a difference between them. Neither has backed out even the slightest. 🤷‍♂️ But honestly, it's just a swap of the actual piston. AFAIK, it's really just a preference/ availability thing. OEM threaded barrels for glock are rather rare for any model, and most after markets use the standard threading. Also, if you're looking for a standard threading barrel, Bear Creek Arsenal and Brownells make pretty solid barrels that are budget friendly... at least they were when I bought mine.

I’m sorry man but XDs are absolutely terrible guns. They don’t meet the MRBS or MRBF of any contract I’ve ever seen. Which is why they’re not purchased by any units and they’re not allowed for most LE departments that follow the testing.

[@ramdom_assortment]

@@jamesgarrison5546 I've never heard or seen anyone ever have any issues with XDs. hell, you can fire 45 Super out of an XD with slight modification. Something I'm pretty sure you can't do with Glock, at least not long term. Also, the requirements for a contract doesn't have to completely do with durability or accuracy. I imagine a lot of units just don't want a grip safety especially because honestly, LE caters to the lowest common denominator of recruits.

@@ramdom_assortment XD was dropped from MHS trials because they were so unreliable. In the first round of testing.

@@GPOLICE I'm not one to not admit when I'm wrong and would concede if proven wrong. That being said, Yeager is a moron and a hypocrite. The man bitches about how 1911s are obsolete junk and than goes to a factory where they make 1911s and praises the company.

Awesome information, you got yourself a new subscriber. Do you know what the SOCOM maintenance looks like? I’ve been seining this information out for a long time with little success but have some more maybe someone knows the answer to. I’m sure when they train they are putting hundreds of rounds down range a day; do they clean them daily? What do they use to clean and lube?

[@InferiorRifles]

As with all US military small arms, they will typically be cleaned after every shooting session or exposure to the elements if/when possible. They may not necessarily need to be cleaned that often, but the military takes a uniform approach to weapon maintenance for the most part.

Very cool

[@siremington]

almost the same as a Rollins Special IMO

[@InferiorRifles]

*Roland Special. But not really, the key feature of a Roland is the compensator, which the MK27 doesn’t have. It’s just like any other Glock with a red dot and a flashlight.

That thing needs sling swivels and a bungee. More add ons than a GI Joe. So much for the KISS principle.

Right? The light? Ok....the threaded barrel and suppressor? Meh not sure. I honestly never got the point of pistol suppressors. They still make a pretty decent noise unless you are using subsonic ammo.....

Gen 4 cuz its better than a 3. Read it and weap.

[@DocMitchell69]

Gen 5 all day everyday. I just never liked the finger grooves. Wish the Gen 4 never had those.

[@napalmstickylikeglue]

@@DocMitchell69 I prefer Gen 4 is immensely because of the grip texture and recoil spring. I also love the finger grooves. Which is why I purchased as many gen 4S as I can get my hands on after the Gen 5 came out. So many idiots were dumping theirs just to get a Gen 5. Also New Gen 4 was going to be going away after Gen 5 got popular.

[@DocMitchell69]

@@napalmstickylikeglue Oh yeah, I think the Gen 4 was a massive improvement on the Gen 3. My fingers are juuust too fat to fit in the finger grooves comfortably, but the mag release was a perfect addition for my short and fat thumb. All in all, I think they should’ve just made the Gen 4 with and without finger grooves to appeal to both parties. But of course in classic Apple like fashion, Glock had to milk their pistols as much as possible with incremental changes.

Although the new sigs they can change the grip and slide and barrel turning it to a compact lol
