Is Glock Still Relevant?

Discussing where Glock is in today's firearms world. Are there better options, or is Glock still "King of the Mountain." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glock is the Toyota of handguns. Nothing fancy, dependable, reliable, runs forever, and reasonably priced.

[@angeldesigns1385]

There are many legitimate reasons why glock will continue to be successful but ultimately, most of it has to do with the fact that they have never really competed in the market. “It’s there if you want it, and if not then move on to other product” and I think that’s what ultimately makes Glock successful in the marketplace. People either love that about them, or resent it, but either way is Relevant and beneficial, because Glock is always talked about. And that’s just the marketing part… that doesn’t include real world experience regarding the reliability aspect.

Which doesn't stand out anymore when you can get an equally reliable gun for the same price with better ergos and a far better trigger, from basically any other company at this point. Not to mention Micro 9 pistols that are the peak of innovation right now that Glock still hasn't caught up to. Glocks are not dead from a sales POV, they are just becoming irrelevant from an innovative POV.

I used to loathe Glocks without even knowing why. It all started when I was 10, playing Counter-Strike, where they made Glocks as effective as a water gun. Fast forward 25 years, and I found myself diving into the history of Gaston Glock and his legendary creations. Intrigued by the design, trigger build and simplicity, I decided to give it a shot (pun intended) and bought my first Glock 17 Gen 3. To say my aim was terrible would be an understatement. Meanwhile, my other handguns performed like champs. I couldn't help but blame everything but myself for my abysmal shooting. Then, I discovered the secret: Glocks demand a specific grip, like a picky eater with an exclusive diet. Once I embraced this unique hold, the transformation was magical. Now, my Glock 17 is my favorite, and my Glock 19 Gen 3 has become my trusty everyday carry. From hating to loving, it's been a wild ride with these iconic firearms!

[@ProfessorSharktooth]

In the early 2000’s I bought my first handgun. The guy at the counter convinced me to try a Springfield XD in 40. It jammed here and there and was alright otherwise. My friend brought his Glock 19 to the range one day-it felt better in my hand. It felt like it was better quality. I shot it better instantly. I was instantly hooked, and was also amused at the fact that I could break it down with a punch and add any part that wore out all by myself… Even back then they were a myriad of sites where you could go and get any replacement part you needed for your Glock. It was so simple and yet learning to shoot on it and master the trigger was such a complex joy. It wasn’t a gun, it wasn’t a handgun… It was a GLOCK. For me there really only has ever been Glocks, a few 1911s, and revolvers. Yes there might be another semi auto pistol that I like to shoot… But to own?… Why would I?

Glocks are great- they don’t deviate from accuracy, simplicity, and certainly the designs we all know. The truth in my opinion is that gun ownership is subjective, from hand size, to recoil stability to larger or subcompact. I just purchased my first pistol after waiting 14 months to get my NYC CCW permit . I went into the gun shop to buy a glock 26. And despite wanting this gun for years, I walked out with a more expensive shadow systems cr920 war poet.( this gun is a glock 43 clone) This gun felt so much better to me than the 26 and the 365. Again, I firmly believe that not every gun is made equally for every man. If you know, then you know. Purely subjective.

I've owned dozens of pistols over the last 40+ years, but had never owned a Glock, for no particular reason. But last year I decided that I wanted a high-capacity .45ACP, and chose my first Glock. A G21 Gen5. Only shot it at the range once, but it ran thru several different manufacturer's cartridges, a couple hundred rounds, and was accurate as I can be with any pistol. I'm very happy with my purchase, glad to finally own my first Glock.

Couldn't agree more brother, they're still here and shoot as good as they did back "in the day." Actually better.. Long live the G19, I trust that one with my life. G19.5MOS with a can, light, and optic is my home defense pistol. There are lots of great "plastic fantastic" pistols these days, but Glock is still in the game. God bless you and yours, thanks for all the great content over the years!

[@sickmit3481]

Never had a gun in my life not even american but the glock seems like the "standard" handgun by now. If i had the right to carry or had to carry due to a job then i would choose a glock 17 or similar glock variant.

[@stuartmarkman769]

I have a G17, G23, and G43x. All great guns and all dependable.

[@Spladoinkal]

I've wanted to get a Glock because I enjoy customizing things and I've heard that although they aren't necessarily great out of the box, you can customize them to make them shoot very well. I do the same thing with desktop computers, paintball guns (back in the day at least, modern paintball guns don't have the same level of customization), etc. If there are other handguns out there that are just as customizable but feel better out of the box to shoot, I'm definitely open to learn!

[@glasswinder]

I bought a Glock for the first time this year after watching your reviews and I never even considered one in the past, my G26 and my G43 are unstoppable.

S.Pellegrino is delicious water. The spring waters up in Saratoga Springs NY are still the best I've ever had, but I love a bottle of Pellegrino in the morning.

I love my Glock 17 gen 4.

[@zen-Tii]

I bought a Glock a few months ago and it’s a fine gun.

[@jnew417]

Glock is like the worlds best Poker player ever. Sitting at the table holding onto their hand while everyone else folds. ✌

Glock. The working man's American Express. Don't leave home without it.

[@hounddog946]

Glock 36 conceal carry in loose fitting pants/shorts front pocket. I’ve had mine 20 years in August 13th. I also have a 30, 21 and 37. Another great no-nonsense weapon is Springfield XDs in which I have a XD-40.

[@scooterc6412]

To each his own. My all time favorite is the 1911A1. Yep, .45 ACP. My house gun is a Ruger American full size .45, my every day carry is the Ruger LCP .380. However, I own a Glock 23 as well. I like the fact you can have one pistol that can fire 3 different types of ammunition, simply by changing the barrel! That’s truly innovation at its finest! I tinker with guns, simple things like sight replacements, part changes and trigger jobs and I have worked on one particular brand more than any other. No, I’m not going to say which one, but it’s the one that the take down levers has a tendency to snap off and the back strap safety is truly a hit or miss proposition! Love your content! Happy Fourth of July!

[@bhoward9378]

My EDC concealed carry for years has been the Glock 19. My summertime EDC concealed carry (shorts and a t shirt) is the Glock 42. Both with Cor-bon hollow points. My year round woods open carry (Bighorn mountains) is the Glock 40 with cast bullets for bear and mountain lion defense.

👍🏻Glock 17 Gen 3

[@michaelgross7016]

In the late 1980s Glock was revolutionary. Now, 35 years later, striker fired polymer framed pistols are made by everyone. Walther, Smith and Wesson, Springfield, Sig, Taurus, Tisas, etc all do the "glock" thing and they do it better than Glock. Better ergonomics. better triggers. just as reliable. Glock sat on their laurels and never bothered innovating with their ergonomics. My own Glock, the one I carried for decades as a cop, is in retired status. I dont carry it, and barely shoot it nowadays. Its a reserve gun I suppose. I keep it clean and oiled.

Glock will never die !

[@thomaspalmer7900]

I own 3 Glock pistols. I am not a Glock fanboy. I actually have a love hate relationship with Glock. I have an issue with paying 600 for a pistol with cheap plastic sights installed on it!!! I recently purchased a used S&W M&P Shield 9mm 2.0 & I have to say I like it better than all of my Glock pistols!!! Great video!!

[@thomascarpenter7415]

The choices of good reliable handguns is wide and deep these days . Glock is hard to beat for the money ! I own several and carried a G22C as my duty gun until I retired from KOM674 in 2012

[@givenchyj6890]

Glocks are the Tim Duncan of the gun world AKA Mr. Fundamental 🙌🏽

[@Synistercrayon]

Never been a glock fan boy. That being said, I cannot deny their relevance. Price point and reliability will keep them that way.

[@ronniebaughman1666]

Shooting revolvers and metal auto pistols for a long time it took me awhile to adjust to polymer striker fired pistols now i own different brands these pistols and i do own some Glocks and i do appreciate that they are light weight and simple to maintain and i just prefer the Gen 3 model for even more simplicity.

[@rickclark4714]

Bad guys are two minutes away and I can only grab one handgun, I’d still go to my 23 I bought in 1997. Zero malfunctions, still looks new.

[@AJohnson0325]

I didn’t get rid of my gen 3 glocks but I like my 9mm M&P 2.0 so much more. I want to get a Sig p365x too.

[@MrThaTank]

Hands down…They hard to Beat

[@ak47man58]

I just bought a G20. Awesome as usual. I think they missed the boat with the 365/Hellcat style carry pistols, at least so far, but anything else, they still lead the pack!

[@arch3088]

Most modern pistols are copies of Glock.

Glock didn’t originate anything… it’s just a plastic Browning Hi-Power.
