Why Is The Glock G17 Gen 3 So Good?

The Glock G17 Gen. 3 is a 9mm polymer-framed striker-fired semi-automatic pistol. For many years, it was used by 65% of Law Enforcement Agencies in the United States. We find out why.

[@bennyjet100]

Mannnn. I already own a Glock 17, but the way you talk about it makes me want to buy another one!

[@StevieMarkss]

Damn I just bought one today and this dude made me like it way more he’s a good ass salesman.. this dude should get a raise no cap

[@bobbywright6062]

Now why would you do that you silly goose?!

[@chevycolombo5007]

One for each hand

[@christiansalgado4411]

Jajaja...nice !!!

[@randomdog8107]

Same

[@cgonzo5803]

Just bought my 1st glock (17 yesterday, People's "Republic of California" only gen 3 are avail.

[@ozman6685]

C Gonzo Yup got mine last month. Love it my 12 th gun gen 3 Glock 17 thanks California 👍

[@teamacecaptain]

Well i mean you can get a gen 4 or 5 in cali they just have to be used unless you know a cop who is willing to buy one for you then trade it over

[@jonmorris9645]

What is the logic behind that? Gen 3 less deadly?..

[@2ndamendmentfanboy723]

My 3gen g17 has a non-rail frame tho

[@eldesgraciado6690]

Gen 3 are cool. More gangsta.

[@adamramon9265]

Awesome and informative review. As a first time buyer, I am happy to say that the Glock 17 gen 3 is my first gun.

[@ontayyricardo]

Adam Ramon Same for me Today

[@2ndamendmentfanboy723]

Same here but my 3gen has a non-rail frame tho

[@Xx__SHADOW__xXl]

Considering to buy too

[@Kay-bear]

Just picked mine up today

[@trellfoe6471]

[@cdamauser1963]

Just bought my 4th Glock 17 yesterday. I slept peacefully knowing it was right next to me!

[@thompsonm1a1]

My nigga.😎

[@LouieLewLou1]

My Gen 3 is my home gun and my conceal carry. Simple to use, simple to clean, just a around great gun. Own mine since June 2012 and it hasn't had a fail, not once. Love this gun!

[@LouieLewLou1]

Airsoftfrreak96 I rather use that as a backup instead of my main carry, but that is a good choice.

[@LouieLewLou1]

Airsoftfrreak96 Yeah, Glock's in general have a basic design to them. There like workwear clothes were as the Sig's are more like 3 piece suits. Since your from Spain, how is the gun laws in your country?

[@LouieLewLou1]

Airsoftfrreak96 That's is a crappy system! In order to gun a here my state of Washington Usa, all you have to do is fill out what is called a 4473 form, go thru a background check, and if your approved and have a CPL (conceal pistol license) you get the gun that day, if you don't have a CPL you get the gun in 10 days.

[@graingerdean]

Hail to the king Glock 17

[@fc3s259]

made me feel better about recently purchasing my G17 thanks for the vid..

[@charliecontrino1626]

The gun everyone loves to hate and hates to love!! This was my first handgun and has never failed me and I shoot it well.

[@kenesto]

Excellent review for this amazing handgun! I recently bought a Glock 17 Generation 3 and love everything about it---structure,look,weight,balance as well ergonomics (accommodating my large hands)so am so pleased with it.I have no ambition to collect guns so it's good to know that I got the only one that counts for me.Still have to shoot it at the range next month---so excited about it! Thanks Jim!

[@robbie0884]

GLOCK 17 GEN 3 ALL DAY! 👍💪

[@MrWeb49]

i couldn't have said it better myself 👍 best gun ever i own a glock 17 gen 3 .. love it

[@manuelblackbucket5329]

Thanks for the great video. This helped a ton. Went to buy my glock 17 gen 3 today.

[@jc-vc7xq]

Pretty good review. I have a gen 1g17 I bought in 1987 and it has over 100,000 rounds through it to date. Only a handful of malfunctions. Minimal parts replacements. It's simply the best.

[@WMAT77LL]

Wow 100,000 rds that's Awesome

[@FunWithGuns]

😲

[@sputnikjones2477]

When I first started getting into guns I bought one .the gen fours had already come out .the gun shop had one left over .so I traded in a couple of hipoints and got one .I still have it .I still love it will never part with it ty for the review.

[@wehrewulf]

You had more than one Hi-Point?

[@backwoodhound3426]

My first gun was a Colt 1911 chambered in 45, I just bought a Glock 17 gen 3 and the short recoil is nice. Time to oil up the Colt and let it rest for a while.

[@bluedownC]

I sold and traded so many Glocks for other handguns such as 1911s, CZ, Smith and Wesson but always found myself coming back to Glock. It's just something about the ease of use and simplicity of the design that just makes me turn back to it. Glock is a boring gun to look at but it works and it's simple to use and maintain.

[@ronaldmathis9533]

Glock 17 Gen 3, Austrian with grey ish slide finish and a matching 26 are an awesome pairing.

[@XSpider209x]

I love my Glock17 😊

[@shawronollison1621]

I have the Glock 17Gen 3 awesome gun.

[@bigwu100]

PLASTIC FANTASTIC, crack me up

[@MrHemi49]

after shooting the glock 17 3gen, the grip just felt natural in my hand. I was way more accurate with the glock than other pistols I have shot with. by the way, the glock 17 was my first actual purchase. that's saying a lot, I've shot many of semi's, but the glock is the one I would defend my family with. that and a 12 gauge!

[@wizardgaming8698]

The best gun review I have ever seen thank you stay frosty

[@gordoelkis]

Love my Glock 17,very reliable weapon,will trust my life with this gun

[@Revolverguy38]

100%

[@davidshortt88]

Me: the grip is kinda big. Glock: imma add a back strap, that should shrink it.😂

[@Project_EG2]

I bought mine about 6 years ago from a local gunstore that had it on sale. Choose a g17 or g19 for $449 and I’m glad I chose the 17. I love it

[@christopherreeves7915]

I am a proud owner of the Glock 17 Gen 3 and Glock 26. In my honest opinion I prefer the 17 over the 26 even tho it is a lot larger. I also find myself concealed carrying my 17 over the 26, because it feels better in the waistband, even tho it is larger. I run a Holosun 507C X2 red dot on it and it is the ultimate go to war combat pistol. The Glock 26 is a great gun as well, but it is blocky and less comfortable to conceal. I prefer the longer sight radius and full size grip that the 17 has to offer since I have larger hands. Great review!

[@waholoopesorry74]

I agree. This is hard for a lot of people to understand because they have never tried concealing something that big. It’s more comfortable for me to appendix carry a Glock 20 than a Glock 26. The longer barrel keeps it pointed upwards and it doesn’t poke into me as much as the 26.

[@stephenparchewski1998]

I have a Gen 3 and love it. I don’t know why Glock did away with the knurled grip on later gens…I actually prefer it.

[@quamainesturgis]

Idc what anyone says, you can't go wrong with the Glock 17! Not only is it a full sized hand gun, which handles recoil better, but it also carries 17 rounds! That's always a plus. I keep this as my edc and I keep it on my night stand right beside my bed. Great home defense weapon for sure. I also have the Del ton 316 AR-15 as well, but that's for another subject. Nice video!

[@Risteard156]

A excellent video on the glock 17 gen3 this gun was numbered 1 with police and ccw people 🇦🇹💯👍

[@rorschachdaws7505]

I like glock 17 but I really like sig sauer p226 9mm

[@hamletthaus3046]

I’m not a huge pistol guy. More the rifle type but I have a G17C SBR. EDC piece.

[@knightcustombuilds6988]

I've shot Glocks for years an my g17-3 has tens of thousands threw it only replacing the sights and added magwell to cover strip cut for mag. Only malfunctions I've personally had was ammo related falling short on the slide cycle when compensated

[@wehrewulf]

Through, not threw.

[@CarlosVargas-se3hb]

Gen 3 17 is my go to

[@goriverman]

great review, you can't go wrong with a Glock

[@Gunscom]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Great video ! Thank you for sharing.

[@billcaddell3848]

Glock 17. The only pistol you will ever need.....period.

[@MaloryAlexander-jw4bo]

HK was the first Is polymer BKA plastic gun. The prototype has over one million rounds fired. You do pay $50 more.

[@devastator5607]

I've owned guns for only 2 years or so and wanted a glock at first but was worried about it not having a manual safety, but now 6 guns later I'm looking to get one 😉

[@ghostsoperator5576]

Simple and reliable handgun, accurate even in standard version without any mod. Still use this masterpiece gen3 after almost 9 years without any hesitation.

[@Gunscom]

Right on!

[@Tylerneal10594]

Wow that was a very great explanation of the Glock 17

[@michaelrincon559]

My glock 23 has had 2k rounds through it. Only had one failure to eject at about 350 rounds and that's it. I also have not cleaned it until about 500 rounds but I also use the cheapest ammo you can buy at the range.

3 gen, the best in my opinion... 👍

I love my Glock 17 !!!

[@richardfabbri1989]

Looooooovvvveee my glock!!!!

[@tonybones4150]

I totally agree that the gen 3 has a smoother and more comfortable grip as opposed to the gen 4 which is just too rough imo

[@edwardmilliron6371]

Great review, I never looked at Glock's before and was in need of info on the 17. You gave me just what I needed.

[@peladistico]

I'm in the argetinian navy and, this is my first owned handgun.

[@risteardwest3384]

Excellent video on Glock 17 Gen 3 one of the best ones you could buy if you find one buy it I like them a lot better than the Gen 5 mostly all your policemen in the USA and around the world use the Glock 17 Gen 3 if you find one that's older like the Gen one to buy it they don't have finger grooves but they were good you could get it in a little cheaper too if it's in the original box that just had a small cover you lift off on the top the box alone goes for about two to three hundred dollars today 🇦🇹🇺🇲👍

[@nal0s0ljah]

Would you say that the GLOCK 17 gen3 is still a good purchase today over the gen4,5? Looking to purchase a Glock soon and the shop owner said he can still get them. He recommended the gen 3 because it’s for home protection use, since it’s a cheaper alternative

[@Revolverguy38]

Gen3 1000%

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

Gen 3 is the most reliable & combat proven.

[@teamacecaptain]

Just bought it sunday however i have to go out and get a Real ID cause i love in California and apparently in modesto you need it to start the background check so now i need to go to dmv and wait for my id before getting the background check

I'm getting a gen3 17 tomorrow. Awesome review!

[@rickhinojosa5455]

After reviewing several different guns for my first purchase of a gun, I've decidedon the Glock 17, third generation. The comments from people help a lot because i don't exactly know if I can trust content creator's reports. They could be working for Glock, or S & W, or Beretta and give favorably toned reports due to that. So thanks all you commenters!

[@MrJackbravo]

@gunscom At 4:40 you mentioned not to use lead ammunition because it will eventually make your gun in accurateCan you please expand on thatThanks

Can someone tell me the difference between a clock 17 Gen 3 and I’m reading there is a Gen 3.5 not sure the difference. Just curious

How is yours smoking so much? Mine doesn’t smoke that much when I fire it.

[@josephdaniels8162]

Dirty cheap ammo

[@morriszachrisson8359]

Just because G17 Gen3 is so good, it is forbidden in most of the US states for civilian market but not for law forces because the governement does not want the civilians be better equipped than the police 😁

[@markeffend165]

you rock bro G17 rules im gonna buy another one

[@skillzlibat]

is that a laser/flashlight combo you have on there?

[@2ndamendmentfanboy723]

Why does my glock17 gen3 have a non-rail frame tho???

Some early models didn't have it.

I have glock17 gen 3 it never failed me

[@justinbushman277]

I just got one a Glock 17 gen 3 but every video is saying that they have 17 round mags but mine is only 10 round mags..??? So I’m a little confused

[@johnsonchao68]

California？

[@maddiesgamingchannel8163]

Sold my Xdm for this gun and very happy with it!

[@AndyB-xs1zn]

I own the 17 and 19 both. Honestly, my 17 sits most of the time. I'll never get rid of it, but by 19 is by far my weapon of choice. I've spent many rounds shooting them side by side... The 19 for me is faster to shoot, more accurate, and obviously more easy to conceal. Maybe it's my shooting technique and hand size. If I had to do all over again I would buy nothing but Glock 19s.

[@moshen7841]

Just bought one today. First time gun buyer. Had to get one before 2A is repealed by swamp creatures.

[@piewackete]

My dream gun was always a Glock 17, a started carrying concealed daily a few years ago but ended up buying a ruger security 9 and every time I went to buy a Glock I ended up finding something else that caught my eye. Last week I finally got my Glock but it was a 44, my background check was delayed but when it was approved I ended up seeing a Glock 17 I really liked and ended up buying both that day and I love them!

[@averagerednek8446]

Also has internal safeties there chief

[@Ben-sv9op]

Does it become unreliable after a few years or manny shots ? Like at what point do ypu buy a new one to carry and trust your life with it ?? Thank you

[@kenji101onspot]

No like he said its the ak of handguns theres a reason so many police forces use it

[@robosdrumworld]

Nothing against Glock 9mm but I will still take the H&K USP Series, VP9 or The P30 Series over the Glock. Anything H&K over Glock. But will be my second choice tho.

I'm slightly confused, you showed the difference between the 3 and 4's front sight. When I look at my gen 3 I bought new in October the front sight is attached just like the gen 4, do I have a mutt gun?

Rifling problems at hundreds or thousands of rounds? Try a hundred thousand rounds.

[@jacobpardue6803]

Just put one of these in layaway at my local gun shop. Glocks never caught my interest all that much until I shot one of my dads glocks. And I've been wanting one for a while so made a down payment and now only a few weeks away from having my first glock. Looking forward to it. Good review and good info.

[@purkeypilot]

Ok video, nice camera work and decent basic information. There is more the the Safe Action SYSTEM them just the trigger though; to include the Firing Pin Safety and Drop Safety. That being said, it's true that they all mechanically integrated, and the latter two require the trigger to be physically moved aft, which requires the Trigger Safety to be disengaged first. Overall, nice video and review. Thanks!

[@paulalderette1255]

Great video. I just purchased one rather than a Beretta and I'm glad I did.😊
