The Only 3 Glock Accessories You Really Need 

How does it affect safety and reliability? The trigger that is.

Love the slide back plate of the balaclava guy...

I’m calling BS James!! There is no way You shot a group that big on the first target at 33ft and then kept it almost all in the circle jut changing the trigger! 🤷‍♂️

No offense James, you’re awesome guy, but how can you ask for financial help in 1 hand, while filming a video in Austria in the other?

@joeblow I would be skeptical too. On my Irish grandad’s soul it’s unedited and 100 percent true. This event is what inspired the video. In other words I decided to make this video after this happened. @oldrabid that’s a fair point but we had our travel expenses paid for by Black Trident (not Glock). I take time off of work to do this shit and I can afford do it only because of the SubStar guys. Glock paid literally zero dollars towards that trip - not even expenses.

Don't forget the skintight shorts

I love this comment so much

James might want to add the Butt Plug

You forgot short shorts 😉

False. Jorts will never fail you.

I’d like to agree, however, 2 PSBPlates seems better. JIC you get a mean scuff on the first one.

Only if you have a matching Punisher Skull sticker on the back of your truck. Otherwise, you are just a poser.

You aren't a true Punisher without a butt plug

Now that’s funny! 😂

@@VincitOmniaVeritas7oh yes absolutely important 👍, these stickers are our first line of defense… 🤣🤣… and they are perfect for covering your old dare stickers 👍

Except Mr. Glock was an inventor. Not a shooter, cop, or soldier...

But apparently, Mr. Glock was okay with the addition of an aftermarket optic, or they wouldn't have come out with the MOS guns. Having said that, you'd think that Glock also would've come out with their own factory optic. 🤷🤔

Yep, those I met Glock stories are about as credible as the "I died and met Jesus" stories.

Good thing it's my Glock and not his.

He should have put better sights on them.

You spelled butt plug switch wrong...

Yeah that's all I got out of it too

And a tshirt with a stupid flag on the sleeves. Makes a much better shooter.

​@@PatrickjohnphotographyI thought the Hawaiian shirt larp was the go-to. Haha

….The switch plus the giant 33 round mag dangling out of the gun. Most impressive thing is how they hide it in their clothes.

Shiiiiiiiyet

ATF approved ?😂

AW HELL NAW!

@@medikpac7105RU-vid is giving me a “Translate to English” option. 🤣

James, the future fudd. 🤣

Tagging to remind me how the Fudd comment ages.

Nah, he'll eventually achieve ultimate enlightenment and see that "Glock Perfection" was always a lie.

Always a fIat earther in every comment section.

Question was still left unanswered. With most competion their trigger upgrade is done by third party. Glock make that enhanced trigger by themselfs. So why the actuall fuck they dont put that in by default even we fully know that bone stock glock trigger is something what have been made fun of decades. Is that really same shit what gaming companies are doing that you are forced to buy better trigger as form of dlc.

Funny thing…my last Glock19 weapons qual I had a group similar to James aftermarket group. The RSO grading my qual target took points off because he couldn’t count the rounds. So I had to re-shoot the qual, spread my rounds out so that my qual could be scored, and it looked like the first target James shot.

Honestly, the performance trigger is fantastic. I’m not paid by anybody for anything (gun related), but that trigger is a total game changer. There are some arguments for keeping the stick trigger - the partially cocked striker in the stock set up adds an additional level of safety, arguably not needed - but the increase in precision is not really debatable

​@@Kesssuli The answer is safety, or rather the lack-there-of. You're basically walking around with a 1911 cocked and unlocked.

Should just be their standard trigger that comes in a Glock but then they couldn't double dip by selling a "performance trigger" 🙄

Or you can do both.

@@RealNaisuCinema At exactly TWICE the money$!

I agree.

I would even say that a huge amount of people would benefit even more not just from trigger time, but taking a pistol course. If you can't shoot well off the bat then why do you need all the extras?

​@@gyp.Most gun owners would benefit from just going to the range once a year, before talking about training or courses.

And if James knows anything, it's uncouth and offensive

I don't have a problem with glocks themselves. I have a problem with glock's prices and the idiot fangirling over what's effectively one of the most overrated names in the current handgun market. There's just a reason why glocks are falling out of style *_H A R D_* lately, and it's due to the incredible innovations in handgun tech by other companies, along with cheap handguns flooding the market that are *_noticeably_* better than a stock glock at half the price, and even cheaper in some cases (I'm looking at you, PSA Dagger). Glocks were truly innovative when they came out in the 1980s. And from there, their reliability was what brought them this far. But honestly, over the past 5-10 years, I've only ever seen people talk fondly of glocks by people whose first handgun was a glock. Literally every person I talk to. People like myself who are just really starting to get into firearms look at the price and go "why in the hell would I pay that much for a glock when I can get a S&W M&P for cheaper that's just as reliable, is more accurate, better trigger, better recoil and impulse control, and better sights?" Or a PSA Dagger that's a glock clone better than the original at half the price (esp if you catch their $399 for the gun and 10 15 round magazines)? People crap on Glock because the company is a meme at this point whose only 2 things are going for them are their reliability (which is a big deal, there's no doubting that), and the fact they are literally everywhere so they are super easy to get parts for. They are not worth the asking price.

@@JaegerYukari my friend, you didn’t need to write 3 paragraphs to make your point. Most of which is probably agree with. Haha. I’m just not going to get butthurt over someone buying what works for them.

Do you have an opinion on the compared reliability?

@@TaKeODojo I’ve never had a problem with either. But my experience with Sigs came from the 228, 229 & 365. Glock is like a shovel. It always works unless you misuse it.

@@user-vx7vi3vq1c Thank you!

Yea, I run Glock and a friend who runs sig. I have lost track of the number of times after running a drill I have told him he is dead because his 250 (now a 320) failed a reset, FTF, or something else.

@@user-vx7vi3vq1c so you say glock more reliable than sig? how about g19 vs 365 x macro?

Still new, but wanted to ask which springs?

Stock

damn now thats a reply

I got COCOMELON( granddaughters fav).😁

I’m not at your range and I’m jelly! 😂

Well. And this.

Grips ONLY? Amateur! Gotta get that full slide & frame "Hello Kitty" cerakote! 😂

Jelly.

😂😂😂 love it!

Hello Kitty keychain is like putting gas in the car you bought, can you really consider it an upgrade if it's a full on requirement?

I think there are 100 round drums. I doubt many are sold.

Hello Kitty keychain is a *_HARD_* requirement, too!!

Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

Keep your distance bud

Seriously though, why? I need to search for that myself.

@@Peter-qq3io I have ducks and I still don't get it. It's basically "I saw your Jeep parked there and thought it was nice so I left a duck on it" but I have no idea why ducks.

I just drove from Myrtle Beach to Charleston and the majority of Wranglers had toy ducks stacked in the windshield. I’m about to put one of those plastic pump shotguns from the duck hunter game on the dash of my TRD 4Runner.

💯

Johnny Glock is the only person I would trust with my Glock trigger.

Honestly hard to go wrong with an Apex trigger

My factory Glock triggers work perfectly fine. I'm able to shoot accurately and fast without any problem. No, I don't have any interest in Glock's performance trigger nor do I have any interest in aftermarket triggers. Learn how to shoot and stop blaming the trigger.

Hardly anyone bats an eye at putting in a upgraded trigger in an AR.

I'm 62 and don't wear my eye glasses when shooting with iron sights inside of 10 yards. If my target is further than that I don't need to be shooting at it. Don't need or want that extra bulk of a red dot with my EDC pistol.

@@terrytolentino5459 that’s called “point” shooting. You should really just remove your sights. Easier draw. Oh and matches your brain set🤔

​@terrytolentino5459 there's many reasons you'd have to shoot further than 10yds in a self defense situation.

@@poip202if people would just get training from reputable instructors, a lot of stuff wouldn’t be said online.

@@poip202 please tell me what reasons you would be shooting a pistol beyond 10 yards in a self-defense situation?

No such thing as excessive mags

Talon grips are junk

I use Handleit grips, better value vs Talon IMHO. Work great for me.

Can't count huh?

@@cyruswoolard3737 Just facts.

I have a XS Big dot sight on one of my Glocks and will eventually have them on

I will have one of the XS big dot sights on all of my Glocks and will eventually try a red dot sight as i wear glasses and it should improve my shooting. I do also have an extended mag release as it makes it easier to drop the mag for a reload.

And you're still ALIVE!! 😮 😂

The only thing I ever bought for a Glock was magazines.

Because they just work as is....why mess with it🙂

& negative credit score

Totally agree.

Lololol. Best comment of the video.

EPS Carry for the win

This guy fucks

Apex?

I only upgraded to a 5x heavier pure tungsten guide rod for the 43x hoping it doesn't cause any problems since thats the only aftermarket upgrade

@@MartyMcfly_88 It shouldn't cause any problems but it also doesn't do anything to mitigate recoil.

me too

I can't lie the goal post setup has grown on me. But I like a big fat green Ameriglo front sight.

@@ryanusa860 me too

I like the goal post myself. But sights got to be number one.

The Glock Factory sights confuse my brain when shooting. I can’t focus on the front sight cause the rear sight is the same White color as the front sight. Maybe I can train through it, but a tritium sight with an orange or green outline will last longer than plastic sights 🤷

Pretty accurate tbh

Have Vickers slide stop on All my Glocks .

I came to the comments to add the same bit of information, but saw you already posted it. Just wanted to add that for roughly $50 most milling companies will mill the rear posts off and add blueing to it. I sent mine out and had it back in less than 2 weeks turn around, door to door. In case you want to ditch the plate

Aim point acro is the only proper choice

Serious question. I'm looking into purchasing a G43x mos. When researching what DOT fits directly on the slide I'm seeing different answers. Many stating the 507k and EPS carry will fit directly without a plate. So I'm confused

@@Firedude-Matt Both of those optics will require a plate or modifying your slide. The only Holosun (at this moment) that will direct mount to a Glock MOS factory cut slide is the Holosun SCS MOS.

I keep my EDCs bone stock. For the simple reason that if I ever do have to use it for the unthinkable, I don't need to give anyone more ammo to use against me in court. (no pun intended)

Real I think people confuse EDC and CC. What I mean by this is conceal carry is concealing a gun on you. In this case, you can conceal almost anything with the right outfit and holster. May as well carry the most functional gun you can. But for EVERYDAY carry, it’s important to choose a gun that isn’t only concealable, but also something that will help you build a habit of constantly carrying. This means sacrifices in functionality need to be made for comfort. You shouldn’t need to prepare an outfit for going to 7/11 at 2am.

@@arcblooper2699 I can relate to what you’re saying. Let’s be honest, concealed carry every time you leave the house IS a burden. Yah, sure, I could conceal a Glock 19. A lot of people will carry nothing else. But when I leave the house I will be looking at it and silently debating whether I want the hassle and discomfort today. We all have to balance our willingness to carry that particular gun cc every day with the specific capabilities of that gun, along with our abilities. It’s a delicate balance and that means a different “perfect” gun for each person. If something bad happens, whatever gun you have with you is worlds better than the “more capable” gun that you didn’t feel like carrying today.

@@woodystube1000 Don’t get me wrong, I think carrying something like a tricked out Glock 19 with everything on it has a place, like you have to go to the bad part of town or it’s uncertain times, but in your day to day, building and maintaining a habit is far more important than your splits.

Use a housed optic. Problem solved

That’s it for me too on Glocks.

Night sights are a waste of time. Flashlight

"Perfection." Hence, the existence of 5 generations with "improvements" on "perfection" and more aftermarket parts and services than any other model to make the "perfect gun" more "perfect." Glock fanboys...

@@mattmurphy7030what if your battery dies, or it breaks, or the possibility that you don’t want your cover blown in a situation with multiple attackers. I run both personally, but night sights aren’t a waist of time when most crime happens at night.

@@dmac5916 if you can’t see them clearly then you have no business shooting them. You aren’t John wick quit it with the wild imagination.

Agrees. Making the decision to carry AIWB with a glock that is equipped with the LTT SCD was due to that action. Since the performance trigger takes out the cocking motion, I can't carry a factory performance trigger AIWB with the same confidence.

Exactly. For a competition gun or range toy who cares, but I don't want a pre-cocked striker in my pants.

I agree with the above and will also add that using the power of the recoil spring to also cock the striker makes the gun less reliable under adverse conditions. I will stick with close to stock configuration. I also wonder if the striker spring was stock. I would want to see this demonstrated some place else than just at Glock's premises with non-glock personnel.

I have both trigger systems and after 900 rounds I couldn't tell the difference?

​@@Buletspunge555 If I understand correctly, it's a pre-cocked SIG P320, with a different sear configuration. Yes?

Arent there enough glock suckers on the internet already?

Nope, the hat and flip flops are considered one item. They are required to be worn together

Stay your scary tail out in the burbs.

@@coolbreeze2.0-mortemadfasc13 Gladly!

Agreed! Unfortunately, the Gen 1-4 version has been out of stock forever!

Coming from manual safety pistols, these plates give me a warm and fuzzy when reholstering I know the techniques, the bend, visual check, full focus on the holstering. Still, these added a level of comfort I appreciate. Unfortunately, there is that "what if" specter about impacting reliabilty. Personally, haven't had an issue with mine yet, but admittedly it's still under 1k rounds since install

You could have reset the stock trigger to 3.5 . Empty the mag, rack the slide, pull the trigger; dry fire, hold the trigger down and rack the slide again slowly let the trigger up your 5.5 is now 3.5

I was about to say. Plus it didn’t help the guys were Austrian special forces and USA retired Green Beret 😂😂😂

Noticed it too lol 😂

Got to have something for *clickbate*

“Wow so professional and informative, are you single 🔥🥵🍆” - Honestly with these people I don’t know if it’s a thirst bot or just another James thirsty fanboy

We're basing the premature positive feedback on how well he treats ur m o m on onlyfans

You can also like a video based on just the sentiment of the title. Stock glockies don’t need to watch the video to know they like this video - because the headline screams “stock glockies unite”. I’m a stock glockie.

He does a great job on ur m o m

Same

... + extended capacity magazine?

Nein, mag is fine.

Nope, a bunch of shit that will cause troubles at the worst time. Particularly when your hands are coated in sweat and/or blood.

​@@Manco65yea, things that stick out more for no reason. Accidental mag release in holster, snag the extended slide release during iwb draw. How fast do you need to field strip your Glock? It's really not hard. Nobody mentions maritime spring cups tho. Can't see it, but if you need to go amphib you will wish you had it.

@@jurban7998 Not too many people are going to be going "amphib". Not necessary.

Send link glowie

Cyelee optics are nice. Affordable. Dependable. Got 3 of them.

Yea was going to mention all the issues he and others have had. I bought one and the trigger pull is not consistent.

Ah so THAT'S the real reason they don't just replace the stock triggers. Geez even when they try to innovate they really just spinning tires. It's a shame, Glocks are actually really good weapons but they just have to be dragged kicking & screaming into iterating their products with what everyone else is already doing, better I might add, they make no attempt to really innovate & move their designs forward.

Coming from a Canik and buying my first Glock I bought the $100 trigger upgrade for my G19 5. after only 200 rounds. At 900 rounds I changed it back to the stock trigger and didn't notice any difference and don't know why?

@@terrytolentino5459 I'm right there with you, Canik is superior in every way to Glock imo. Better ergonomics, better triggers, better balanced, feature rich unlike Glock, at the same price point. It's a better all over value.

There is no maintenance required on any trigger.....

Agreed, but dry fire will mate those surfaces too. No need to even take the gun apart and you should be dry firing anyway.

​@@stabbyronnie 🤔 I'm wondering about what you wrote about mating the surfaces together by dry firing; because after many dry firing and rounds of ammo, my stock trigger feels pretty much the same as the $100 upgrade.

@@terrytolentino5459 Exactly, dry firing will mate the surfaces. No need to polish. You can do what's colloquially called "the 25 cent trigger job" but it's just doing what dry firing does more quickly. Since you should be dry firing anyway, just dry fire.

At Glock armorer cert they say that everyone polishing Glock triggers are wasting their time because it does nothing, never tried polishing one to see but they shoot so well I don't know why you would need to anyway.

@@jamesbevan9989 cool story. I have access to an Instron. It has nominal effect on pull weight but the increased smoothness between parts can be seen on a line graph comparison between polished and unpolished trigger pulls. Regardless, polished parts make the trigger function smoother and FEEL better. The feel of a trigger is %90 of the game here. People spend a lot of money for the feels.
