Glock17 Everything you need to know.

[@ilikedirtx22]

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

[@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. 👍👍

Gun choice is so personal. I’ve heard most often a new gun buyer making their choice based on looks or feel in the hand. But living with that choice long term is a different matter. And looks are subjective and even become unimportant at some point. Even the matter of feel in the hand is subjective because comfort is based on comparisons with other guns. But the factors that stay with you long term are reliability, ease of use, simplicity and familiarity. And a simple gun like a Glock just rises to the occasion.

[@johncarter6238]

@@MaxHeadspace9mm Max well you say this those thoughts had never crossed my mind, yes now that you say that. a Glock certainly has the ability to exchange parts of its own brand, and there is also plenty of aftermarket stuff for sale. and even other weapon manufacturers, make sure their weapon can be fed by a glock bullet magazine, and even a mini laser from China AliExpress fits a glock. Wowwww max when I think about this, the possibilities are unlimited. what other weapon brand have that.

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.

[@michaelcarter8789]

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]

[@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.

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.

[@garthtimmins2852]

I recently bought a law enforcement trade in Glock 22 Gen 3, which is .40 caliber. When I dropped in a 9mm conversion barrel it essentially became a Glock 17. When I shot it for the first time I began to see the appeal of Glock's reliability, accuracy, and ease of use. I found that I am able to shoot this gun as well as, or better than any other gun I have tried. When I took it apart for the first cleaning is when I really fell in love with the simplicity of design. I don't know why it took me so long to try a Glock, except that it is possibly the 'Plain Jane' looks. Moral of the story: Don't judge a gun by it's looks.

My 21st is in a few days and I'm going with a G17. You were spot on about how most people don't and won't like them at first. I was thinking "I'll get something more interesting than just a Glock" but the more I got to try and shoot different handguns, I slowly narrowed the choice to a Glock 17. Unfortunate that guns and ammo are scarce / expensive right on my 21st, but it is what it is. When exactly am I going to regret owning a G17? Unlikely.

[@MaxHeadspace9mm]

The number of people I’ve known who sell their Glocks due to dissatisfaction is extremely low. Once you’re in the gun community you will learn one very important psychological lesson in human nature- guns and ammo are either scarce and expensive or plentiful and cheap. And timing is everything. There is always some gun bill or emergency that makes people run to the gun store and empty the shelves. Keep a clear head and you will get what you want without breaking your wallet. And sometimes that means buying extra ammo you don’t really need for those years when it will go through the roof. Also remember we have a constitutionally protected right to own arms but that does not necessarily mean that extends to a right to own ammo. And even though I disagree with that some liberal lawmakers see it as their legal loophole to take gun rights away.

[@MisterK-YT]

What does he mean by “you have to dry fire it to break it down?” Is he saying you have to dry fire to disassemble it?

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.
