Every 9mm Glock: Which One Is Right For You? 

“it just feels like second place”…hilarious!

I generally don't buy a carry gun very often. I switched from a 1911 to a G19 gen 3 when it came out. For discreet small gun I had a Smith j-frame for a long time until the G43 came out (must use the pinky mag base pad). Later, when the 43X came out, I got one. I got two G17 police trade in guns because they were in good shape and very cheap. My wife took the 43X for her carry gun. That is fine. Most of the time I carry the G19 here at the ranch. I can attest to the reliability of Glocks. They work. If you have a gun you like, you shoot it well, use it. Everyone is an individual, so something is out there that fits the just right spot. There has never been so many good choices from so many makers. Thanks for going over all the 9mm options for Glocks.

I appreciate this because I am Glock illiterate. I don't like the grip angle so I don't own one and don't plan to in future. But now at least I know what the full lineup from Glock is and will understand better when someone compares another gun to a Glock. Thank you.

How to count from 1 to 10 Microsoft: 1, 2, 3, 95, 98, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8.1, 10 Glock: 43, 43X, 48, 26, 19, 45/19X, 49, 47, 17, 34, 17L

When I bought my first pistol many years ago the salesman steered me away from Glock as a "boat anchor." Since then my mind has been changed, especially volunteering at Glock tournaments. Now I own a 48. I put a front fiber optic and am waiting for a red dot. Very nice shooter. Light and easy to carry. And since NJ has a max mag cap of 10, it made absolute sense. Just had to get comfortable with the lighter weight than my other carry. I raved about it and now my son has one as well with the same positive review.

Would be cool to have an all CZ list too

The 43 is a Glock I will never own again. I certainly don't miss it. I'm playing around with my G45 now and I really like it so far.

Cressy also used the G34 in Man On Fire

HandleIt grips go on all my firearms. Excellent product. Re Glocks, Shadow Systems versions should not be overlooked. Thanks Chris and LaRae for the video. 👍🇺🇲

The “new” 17L is a reintroduction. And the 19x came out before the g45. And there is one Glock 9mm you didn’t talk about … the g18 😂

1:44 - Glock 2:54 - Glock 4:17 - Glock 6:04 - Glock 8:04 - Glock 9:31 - Glock 12:54 - Glock 14:55 - Glock

"We're gonna get a little weird." Some of us live there, Mr. Outlaw.

I’m in cali so gen 3 glocks are what I’m rockin. Got a 17 and 26, love em.

The best handgun in the video by far is that cz p10s in sponsor part of the video, same reliability, better trigger, better trigger guard, better undercut on trigger guard, better sites, better grip and grip angle, better texture, better rail, metal magazines, it has less aftermarker support than that glocks but it stil has all practical aftermarket support that you need.

After owning Glocks since 1987 (I'm old, shut up), but pretty much hating on the finger-grooved 3rd and 4th generations, I purchased a used Gen 5 17. Much to my surprise, I found that the breed had significantly improved. I then installed the Glock Performance Trigger, for another level of astonishment. Glocks are once again my primary self-defense suite.

Gen 4 17 was my first gun. Then the 26 and 43. Once I escaped NYS I moved to a gen 5 19 for everyday carry.

The fact that you didn’t bring up the magazine compatibility issue with the 19x given the lip on the gen 5 mags is a huge omission.

Great video of the top choices for a handgun. Can’t go wrong with Glock. Gen 5s have been the best so far and the 43x/19x are something Glock needs to do with all the models.. I want a 42x with 10 rounds of 380 like the new bodyguard from smith

Thanks for the review. Honestly I have been numb to anything but the basics (43,x,48,26,19,17,34) so it was good to see the mix and match versions although I doubt I have any interest in purchasing them. 😂 The 2 19’s and 26 are good for me although maybe a 43 or 43x could come along soon.

One thing to consider when choosing a Glock as a first firearm or if considering switching to a Glock from a different manufacturer is the grip angle. I know you’ve mentioned the Glock grip angle in other videos. My recent experience… I switched to carrying a Glock 43X five years ago and had to relearn my presentation from the draw after carrying an HK for 14 years. Three moths ago, I changed my carry gun again to the Hellcat Pro and had to relearn my sight acquisition all over again from the draw. Similarly, my wife shoots and carries Glocks almost exclusively (G43 & G43X) and shoots most other pistols low upon the draw as a result of mussel memory with her grip using the Glock grip angle.

I bought a 48 when it came out, and subsequently put my 43 slide on it, turning it into a 43X. But I found that I missed the old 43, somehow. Then Shield Arms released their model 43 9rnd steel mag and steel mag release- I added a Glock Store Pyramid trigger and never looked back. It's been my EDC ever since.

Another great video once again thanks champ.

Glock 17 all the way. 43X great size but the trigger groves ripped my trigger finger up. 17L was the only Glock that jammed on me. I think it's long barrel/slide cause me to limp wrist. Glock19 grip just would not fit my hand, but a Glock 26 with the finger hook on the mag work really well, go figure. Glock 45 and 19X worked well. but I modified the 19X grip to work with Gen 5 mags. After all that Glock 17 all the way.

Every time you say, “if you guys want to see more videos like this.“ The answer for me will always be yes.

I've owned a 43x, 17, 19, 34 hands down the 19 for me is a do it all however I'm changing brands to CZ now so the p10c I think will work good for me.

48mos and gen5 17 got sold for new a new hell cat pro and echelon it was like sending them off and getting them upgraded like they should of been out the box 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know all of this, but it’s enjoying to watch. Thank you

Loving the John Wick props lol.

"it just feels like second place" 😂😂😂😂

Great vid, been recently looking to buy a do it all gun to start off with and this video has helped me out a lot!

Glock 26 definitely recoils more than Glock 19. Does Glock 17 recoils less than Glock 19? Thanks for great channel.

Great presentation! Thank you 😊

Great video, thank you for the insightful content, and thorough break down!

Thank you! Sitting here trying to figure out which 9mm to get.

Fun fact: Twista made a song going through every single Glock model. Its call "Glock" if anyone is interested 😂

The Gen 5 Glock 45 9mm is the best of the 9mm. Glock Family ! Bar none.

Informative review. Thanks.

Right on.

Which is the right pencil for you? The regular sized pencil, or the one that’s a quarter inch shorter?

Perhaps a tips and tricks video for installing the Handle it Grips would be helpful.

Great video! 💯

As a Glock owner, the answer might be NONE of them - I bought into the Glock 9mm platform(G19) because Extar's EP9 was compatible with it when I first got into firearms. Later on, PSA released their Dagger and I have the perfect 3gun solution for any post-storm situation. They all share the same mag so I can stage one by the front door, back door and bedside table while never worrying about which mag goes to which gun. HOWEVER, when it comes to comfortable shooting and grip, it turns out I'm more of a Walther PDP fan. I EDC my PDP but still train regularly with my Glock trio.

Good presentation on Glocks Honest Outlaw! The list is good.

Same Same but Different 😂

Wow! Only 7 years behind Hickok45!

Not watching because I need to know but watching because I love your channel.

I like your videos. From Brazil.

Your show is the best. It has me wanting to buy a bunch of guns....lol. Keep up the good work.

I didn’t learn anything new, but still very much enjoyed! You (and the Mrs.) got the entertainment factor on lock. All love

The CZ P10 or Walther PPQ/PDP

You called the 26 slim 😂

No interest in Glocks, but appreciate that you cover all guns. I won't be watching this video, but will give you a 👍

It's the same gun over and over again.

Shield Arms mags rock!

Would you pick the Glock 17L or Glock 34 for home defense?

“American sized “ LOL thanks for that

Excellent video

I've always been a fan of the Glock 19 for its balance between size and capacity.

Can you put a binary trigger on a Glock 48?

Do all the Glocks come with plastic sight and is it suggested to put on metal sites

Glock. Putting out the same gun, in different sizes, for nearly half a century.😂

love your content always straight and to the point unfortunately the Glock grip angel just does not work for me. keep up the great content also what watch are you wearing in this video.

great video as usual, I have no Glocks but plenty of other brands, what am I missing?

I thought they made the 34 for comp, because the 17L couldnt qualify for IDPA…

A whole video without: "That's what she said!" cracks? You changed man!!!!!!!!

What is their naming convention???

You forgot one. The Glock 18.

They need a fashion designer

Glock with all of their names 😂 they get confusing not gonna lie.

Man Bodygaurd 2.0 video I hope?? Lol

But the Glock 19 is the mk27, which is kinda 1st place.

Where can I get the extented magazine for my Glock 43 like the one in this video? Any input from the forum would be greatly appreciated.

How About Doing a Similar Video For CZ Handguns!?!?!

12:56-12:57 did anyone notice it?

16:39 lmaooooo

Any word on new rules on youtube and where your channel and everywhere gun channels are goin to go for content??

Just the video I was looking for

What a dizzying array of Glocks. Thanks for your spin on all of their offerings.

Your missing 1 buddy 🌚🌚🌚🌚

35 seconds is wild

Hmmm... tough question... none of them!

MORE BUBBA CONTENT🎉😂😂

I hear RU-vid new policies are removing a lot gun videos is this will be affecting your channel????

Glock is great...after you change out literally every part of the gun with non-glock parts.

Idk which one is which.

just quick look back at your channel and it looks like you've made 14 glock videos this year alone. for someone that claims to be a 1911 fanboy, you sure do talk about glocks A LOT...

Love your channel... could care less about Glock.

Glock hater here, their fugly. Bought a 43x changed out the slide for a custome zombie green one... now.... eh, its alright

Glock 19x takes different mags, because of that stupid nub. 😅😅😅

stu

Why don't you ever mention the PSA mags? They are half the price, don't require a metal magazine catch and are more reliable.

the biggest mistakes on GLOCKS , them refuse to lower the PRICE and every brand outhere are taking advantage of that. Sorry but everyone protects the budget so , Ok the glocks are good but not too good for the price they are asking.

Can you buy the 19 in fde in the us ?!

You forgot the C models🥺

Blocks: -Overrated -Overpriced -Outdated

The Glock 18C is the only one for me all others are trash #echelonisking

None

Another Glock Fanboy!

None of them. They all got SpongeBob triggers right out the box.

No thanks😅
