In this episode of TFBTV, Hop gives a sermon on the superiority of the Generation 2 Glock 19, and offends basically everyone. Is the Glock 19 Gen 2 still the best pistol Glock ever made? Of course it is, didn't you read the title?

[@bigjohnston711]

You are continuing to come into your own element in your reviews. Excellent perspective on perfection.

[@mk45gunnr25]

I was all about 1911's when I was in the military. Then I became a cop and was DISGUSTED when they handed me that G21....at least it was a 45 right? (Tried to give me a G19 at first but I pouted enough that my star corporal relented and gave me a G21 instead....shoulda listened to him). Then I did everything I could to break that gun....and failed, duh! I was a small arms instructor in the Navy and even got to participate in some T&E on new platforms. I am a trained and certified armorer (yes it's on my "I love me wall") and I did things to that 21 that would have made any 1911 I ever owned cough and die and that ugly bastard kept running. The 1911 is the hot blonde you show off to your friends. The Glock is that steady girl who has your back no matter what you can show off to your enemies. Yeah shes got some extra curves on her. But she will always take care of you!

[@seven1six]

Or just buy a Sig. And not have that god aweful grip angle

[@MFO46]

I carried a 1911 for years in the Army. Then the M9. I purchased a used G19 Gen 2 because I could not pass on the price. Wow! I admit openly that the Glock is as about attractive as an old refrigerator in the garage that never quits. The G19 slowly became my conceal carry. I use a kydex trigger guard to prevent any accidental discharge when not carrying in a proper holster. This G19 never has a misfire, failure to feed or eject. As you stated above; My 1911 is like a sexy girl. But the G19 is like the girl you trust to be there, and be ready. I can talk for hours about what I don't like about it, but I'm not getting rid of it either. When in Israel I learned that Israelis are only allowed to own one (1) handgun by law. The top selling handgun in Israel... the G19.

Leather is gone, shoulder holsters, cross draw, many variants, and I end up with a 14 dollar holster. Great Video!

Good honest video. Ive been a NRA firearms instructor since 1988 when the plastic gun came out. Colt 1911s, Browning HiPowers, Sigs & Glocks were the only pistols reliably used back then in the police world. Civilians were using whatever their grandfathers gave em . . . As we were training, everything else OTHER than Glocks were giving folks lots of problems on the range during qualifications. Folks didnt really trust Glocks back then - the plastic factor. BUT they hung in their. The G19 came out and changed EVERYTHING. Folks that couldn't qualify with whatever handgun they were using WERE able to qualify with a G19. The Ruger MkII .22 pistols were PERFECT training pistols for teaching marksmanship principles,...then moving NOVICE shooters to a g19 was DRAMATIC. lots of confidence. In a killer caliber. And there yas have it. From the 1980s. THEN in the mids 2000s - the Navy Seals realized the G19 was a G R E A T handgun, -had a standardized picitany rail slot for a light- and the finger grooves & some had the RTF stippling. BETTER than a Sig P226 - GREAT GUN - but the G19 was tougher,... and the G19 exploded. to this present day. THE STANDARD. Buy a fucking Glock & shoot. Ask Clint. DVC.

Bought myself a 1993 Gen 2 G19 for my 21st birthday. Love it all around, and definitely a bargain for a first handgun. Such a surprise to see a very recent video about the Gen 2 G19!

[@golferwithguns]

I was 40 years old when your Gen 2 19 was made. Just Say’n 😉

Here's my toy gun, here's my *REAL GUN*

[@LordOfDisbelief]

First video I've ever seen from you and you caught a sub half way through. Great content brother

[@tippersteffi1]

Have a Gen 2 Glock 19 purchased new in 1995, have only about 1000 rounds through it, has worked flawlessly with all kind of ammo

[@BigJDinSC]

And, btw, Hop...YOU need to make more videos.

[@LYLEWOLD]

good job XL James, love that dry wit / sarcasm. (edited from 'god' to 'good job')

[@specops56]

I bought my Gen 2 G19 in 1995. I literally took it out of the box and started shooting it. 25 Years later it's never had a malfunction of any kind since day 1.

[@JP-hv5xm]

Having owned a gen 2 G22 I'd agree that the gen2s are much under appreciated. However, West German P228 is my choice for that size category.

James's sponsored trip to georgia has now been rescinded.

[@VicFromFallout]

I see Hop. i give like

[@douglasmcneil6689]

I own 1 Glock. A Gen 2 Glock22 I bought brand new in 1994. My compact 40 is Star Firestar P40 That I bought around the same time. Both guns work great and I've never felt a need to replace them. It's a shame that Star is no longer in business, but at least Glock is going strong.

[@EchoSigma6]

All 3 of my Glocks are gen 2, the young man is right, they shoot better as they age but the downside is no ability for a light attachment. It's nice to buy something today that still works and have relevance 30+ years later.

[@tomh.648]

Nice video, Hop- or, 'James'. I love me some Glocks, too. You make a good argument for the gen. 2. I've got gen 3s and gen 4s, and I actually prefer the gen 4. The controversial finger-grooves fit my fingers really well, and I've never had issues that weren't magazine-related (old beat-to-shit OEM Glock mags or Magpul GL9 mags) Thanks again, not Hop.

[@magaman3048]

The Diddy King Racing reference made my day.

[@treyhall2000]

Kept my G23 Gen2 in 40 s&w purchased new since then I’ve converted it into a 9mm, 357 sig and .22 TCM 9R four guns in one without any issues best bang for the buck ever still going strong 💪🏽

[@raycabranes1957]

Thanks for this video. I was considering replacing my G19 gen 2 with a newer model but after watching this I think I'll hold onto it!

[@egsampson1989]

I personally love the gen5 Glock 17. Easiest gun to shoot I've ever had! Wouldn't hesitate to own any decent gun for a good price though. I'm a gun guy with a interest in pretty much anything and a preference for the weird and exotic.

[@viewatyourownrisk]

I like your take on Glock perfection, I tend to recommend Glock pistols a lot and for those reasons.

[@dannyv.7518]

I have a Gen 2 G19 and I love it. I was hesitant to buy it at first because it had no rail. But it was in mint condition (maybe a couple hundred rounds throught it) and he wanted $350 for it. I bought it anyway and i carry it with a Olight PL2 Valkarie attached to it with some True Glo TFX pro sights on it. Sweet package! The trigger on it is fantastic for a stock trigger. It stays with me lol

[@danharvey464]

Thanks for this video. I now feel better paying double what the glock gen 2 is worth this morning here in Canada after the hand gun ban was announced last week. There’s a shortage of handguns now in Canada due to people panic buying and everything is over priced…

[@richwineinger3846]

I like Regular Car Reviews almost as much as my Gen 2 G19! Thanks for the reference, that guy is a god!

[@762x54rgun]

You sob, your letting the secret out about gen 2 19s!

[@snagnoir6489]

lol

[@gregoryhall2967]

This was a really well done thought out video, I enjoyed thanks.

[@vincedibona4687]

I am a simple man - I see Hop, I thumbs up and then watch. slym2none says hi to the Discord guys!!!

[@ThatGuy-te9wh]

3:19 - I FINALLY GET THE REGULAR CAR REVIEWS REFERENCE!!! B R O W N

[@user-rs1fo2dd9b]

regular car reviews reference? what is this, a cross over episode?

[@TheSkeptic000]

Love your reviews. Good job!

[@spencerjohnson4444]

I have a Glock 19 gen2 and it’s great except for the worn down firing pin but since it was bought 33 years ago it’s still a great gun

[@godisgreatjesusislord2278]

I've had two or three Glock 19 Gen 2 and I always wind up selling them and now I regret it they are the best generation they fit just right in the hand

[@bobby398]

Agreed, the Gen2 19 is the best glock ever made

[@danieltaylor8113]

When this video started i thought... your not Mr. Perfect Hair, but damn, i like this dude too, TFB just has its own sense of gun smarts and jokes that i love. Nice to meet you new dude (if he isnt new, fuck off ok i havent been watching as much until corona virus made me way less busy lol)

[@trentoniousmaximus6299]

Well hell I didn't think there was anything wrong with my gen4 till you said something.

[@Viziry]

Trentonious Maximus there isn’t he just a lil dumb
