I have had my glock 19 gen 3 for 10 years . No issues. Accurate. Tigger isnt the greatest and i dont care much for the grip but i shoot it well and work every time.

Glock is excellent but for me, I would need undercuts for all because of my BIG HANDS. I live in CA so I’d need to spend more than $1000 total with frame work of a Gen 3 Glock to have undercuts and remove finger grooves. I cannot put up with that Glock knuckle feeling at all. I’ve rented a Gen 3 19 and 34. Both were uncomfortable though the 34 was very accurate with that beautiful trigger pull. I love my brother’s G19 Gen 5 (he’s a cop so he can have an almost any gun outside of the CA roster). I was struggling at first but I became very accurate with it. However, I still got uncomfortable after 45+ rounds. I’m telling you Glock needs to have all their trigger guards with undercuts out of the box! So far, I’m most compatible and accurate with the Springfield XD9 Service Model. It’s out of the box ready for me. Though, I’d want to see if I can get something smaller and be more or as accurate and as comfortable as the XD. My beef with any of the XD guns I’ve tried (Service and Sub-Compact) are their triggers.
All three are great. All are reliable. I would honestly go to the range and see if you can rent them to shoot first. I personally think the M&P is the best value and they always have nice bundles on sale. CZ is great but isn't as easy to find accessories for as it is for Glock or M&P.
@@barcelona2170 I see. Thanks for your help Barcelona! I’m trying to help my uncle pick out his first gun and all of these videos have been helpful. Have a great weekend.
Glock's are really good pistols which anyone can rely on. But let's also be honest, Glock was the best striker fired pistol, when Glock was the only striker fired poly pistol available on the market. The competition caught up to Glock and passed them up a long time ago. Glock has been making the same pistol since 1982. There are way too many better options out there if you are in the market for a striker fired poly pistols that are cheaper, better made, and you do not have to add anything to the pistol out of the box to make it mechanically a better shooting pistol.
All those things are true... if one of those other guns gains the track record and the parts proliferation it would be great. That's what keeps me on the platform. Now it would be counterintuitive to switch
@@truthseeker1581 I should have clarified my comment when I posted. You could say my comment was for people who were considering buying their first poly striker fired pistol. It would be counterintuitive for a person like you that has invested so much in the Glock platform. If a person like you switched to another poly striker fired pistol manufacturer, you Glock,s would become safe queens. I had owned firearms for for 30 years before I decided to buy a poly striker fired pistol. Before this, all my pistols were all metal. My first poly striker fired pistol purchase was a G17 Gen 4. I went with Glock because of its reputation and on recommendations of friends. I then got a deal on a G19 Gen 3 and a G19 Gen 4, brand new with 3 mags each for $399.00 ea. I have since bought poly striker fired poly pistols from other manufacturers, like S&W, Sig and H&K. Unlike my Glocks, these other pistols did not need a darn thing out of the box (to make them mechanically better) when I bought them. Once I bought these other pistols, my Glock's became safe queens. I have several issues with the Glock's, like the cheap plastic sights and the tiny mag and slide releases. My biggest beef with my Glock's are the horrible ergonomics. I absolutely hate the Glock pistol grip angle.
Better how? It’s impossible to quantify that objectively speaking. Glocks need new sights out of the box sure, but everything else is preference. Many including myself shoot them extremely well and are used to their triggers and grip, and they have less recoil than many modern alternatives (pdp, p320, vp9 etc). What actually matters is the gun is reliable, and glock embodies reliability.
@@josephlegacy929 I own several Glock 9mm pistols, including two G19's. I also own several striker fired pistols from other manufacturers, including a H&K VP9 and S&W M&P 9. 1. The pistol grip angle on the Glock's make the pistol very uncomfortable to shoot. I absolutely hate having to cant my pistol grip hand down in order to line up my sights. The VP9 and S&W 9 have a 1911 pistol grip angles and point naturally. No canting of the wrist required. 2. My HK and M&P came with nights sights out of the box. Glock have the cheap plastic "u" sights. 3. My HK and S&W have ambi slide releases, Glock's do not. 4. The mang and slide releases on the HK and S&W are nice and big. The Glocks are tiny. 5. Triggers are better on the HK and S&W. 6. The mags on the Glock are plastic. The mags on the HK and S&W are all metal, and are coated with a material to assure they function under adverse conditions, like if they get a little sand on them. 7. The machine finishes on the HK and S&W are superior. Break down the pistols and you can see that it took a lot longer to machine the HK and S&W than it did a Glock. 8. The finishes on the Glock are cheap compared to that of an HK or a S&W......I have a lot more but you get my point. Like I said Glocks are good pistols that you can rely on, but now there are way better options and for the same price, except HK. HK's are pricey, but worth every single penny.
@@josephlegacy929 I have several striker fired poly pistols, including two G19's and one G17. I also have a VP9 and a Sig-320, and and a S&W M&P, all in 9mm. So i will compare my G19 Gen 4 to my M&P 9. 1. Glock has that horrible pistol grip angle that forces its shooter to cant the wrist in the gun hand down, in order to live up the sights. My Smith has a 1911 pistol grip angle and points naturally. 2. Glock came with cheap plastic sights. My Smith came with Trijicon night sights out of the box. 3. Smith has ambi slide release, Glock does not. 4. Smith came with metal mags that are coated with material that will help facilitate the extraction of a mag if sand gets in the mag well. Glock comes with cheap plastic mags. 5. Smith has a better trigger. 6. Smith is better machined and finished. I can go on and on but you get the idea..........Like I said Glock's are very good pistols that you can rely on but they are definitely that the best option for a person interested in purchasing their first striker fired poly pistol. PS, I sleep with my G17 Gen 4 by my beside.
I have to use a Glock 22 Gen 3 at work, and I absolutely loathe the magazine release on it, and the G19 Gen 3 I qualified with was just as bad. I'm expecting the G19 Gen5 MOS that I ordered to be much more usable in that respect. I've also ordered a Streamlight TLR-1HL and Holosun 507C to go with it as well as a Safariland 6360RDS ALS/SLS duty holster that handles the optic and light.
My ONLY gripe with Glock is what you get as far as factory upgrades out of the box, for the time we live in. The performance trigger should be a standard trigger, double undercut, magwell, sights, better grip texturing and metal FKN mags. You buy a glock just to upgrade it essentially (yes you dont have to) but compared to other manufacturers, Glock lacking in thia area
Most agencies drove Ford Crown Victoria and now Chargers and Tahoe...does that mean they are the best??? 😂😂😂 hell no!!! They are good for the price and reliable though..I'll give ya that...not a glock hater I have a few. .also have Glock..HK amd Sig Sauer as well
I loved my Glock 19 MOS. Seriously just a well-designed and well-manufactured tool. My main complaint were the ergos. Just didn’t feel good in my hand. Also, it gave me about as much excitement as a hammer does. It’s a great tool with little personality. If you’re cool with that, then it’s truly a great utilitarian gun.
I wanted a G19. Never got one. Ended up with a G17 and G45. Still want one. Going to get a G43X MOS tomorrow, too good of a deal to not. Enough to grab a G48 slide and have a slim G19 basically.
Because my girlfriend’s sister’s cousin-in-law bought a Sig and i heard that it done blowed up in his waistband and now he doesnt have to wear a strap when he plays sports.
I’m 5’8 and 165lb. I’m a smaller framed guy so I know a G43x would be easier all around to carry verses a G19 Mos. However, would a G48 Mos be more in the middle ground between the both?
Im new to the gun world and I absolutely absolutely love my Glock 19 gen 5. not to heavy for me, I took it to the range and it was smooth to shoot. I will add tht top sight at some point just didn't know how expensive it is omg 😳 over 300. I have no prob with the grip I like tht there's no set wedges on the handle.
I bought a Better than Glock Shadow Systems , Glock still puts Plastic Sights after 5 Generations , They went back to a single Pin , The 34 of past had the Slide Top Cut Out for weight . To get what you can buy for $900.00 To Upgrade a Glock = $1500.00 so $ 900.00 with all the out of the box . I shot glocks since they came out . I found It was Best to Buy the 23, 22, 35 , and Buy Conversion Barrels all you have to Buy is 9mm mags then you have a 9mm 40 cal 357 sig will work fine in a 9 mil Mag . Bill Drills Depend on The shooter .
This right here! Only glocks I own are a 22 & 23 for the simple fact that you can use the conversion barrels to get 2 additional calibers from the same gun!
Appreciate the feed back but it's from ndz performance they have great base plates and many other aftermarket accessories,im in ca so I had to find ways it wouldn't add rounds to the mag lol
Glock triggers - you either love them or hate them...but one thing you can count on, they're consistent. I can feel the trigger on your Glock and know exactly what it's going to feel like before I ever touch the firearm.
@herrington i have big hands i need something with a barrel length of 4 or 4.5 a full size BUT if i get a compensator should i go with 4 inch so it will equal out to a full size
You say beginner gun and yet it is the gun of choice for the Green Beret and Navy Seals, even though they have the M17 & M18 issued, many still operate their Glock 19 pistol for concealed carry and EDC.
Because it's the most proven semi-auto pistol in history and modern times. No other pistol, outside of the 1911, has had more years of combat, service, and carry..ever. And proving itself over and over again in those categories. There's a reason that every polymer striker fired pistol is compared to, and is an attempt to dethrone Glock. Because they are the top of the mountain. And while some pistols have maybe a better trigger here or there. No one has made a better overall pistol in its category yet.
Mostly because of name recognition honestly. Good guns for beginners but once you get in the game long enough it’s just so bloody boring. Hence why it has such a big aftermarket.

Glock is excellent but for me, I would need undercuts for all because of my BIG HANDS. I live in CA so I’d need to spend more than $1000 total with frame work of a Gen 3 Glock to have undercuts and remove finger grooves. I cannot put up with that Glock knuckle feeling at all.
I’ve rented a Gen 3 19 and 34. Both were uncomfortable though the 34 was very accurate with that beautiful trigger pull.
I love my brother’s G19 Gen 5 (he’s a cop so he can have an almost any gun outside of the CA roster). I was struggling at first but I became very accurate with it. However, I still got uncomfortable after 45+ rounds. I’m telling you Glock needs to have all their trigger guards with undercuts out of the box!
So far, I’m most compatible and accurate with the Springfield XD9 Service Model. It’s out of the box ready for me. Though, I’d want to see if I can get something smaller and be more or as accurate and as comfortable as the XD. My beef with any of the XD guns I’ve tried (Service and Sub-Compact) are their triggers.
Would you recommend a Glock 19, M&P 2.0 Compact, or CZ P10C for a first pistol?
All three are great. All are reliable. I would honestly go to the range and see if you can rent them to shoot first. I personally think the M&P is the best value and they always have nice bundles on sale. CZ is great but isn't as easy to find accessories for as it is for Glock or M&P.
@@barcelona2170 I see. Thanks for your help Barcelona! I’m trying to help my uncle pick out his first gun and all of these videos have been helpful. Have a great weekend.
@@JacksonWalter735 Happy to help. Best of luck to your uncle! 🙏
I’d recommend going with the Glock…Simple. Reliable.
M&P. Better than a Glock in every area, and more ubiquitous than the CZ.
Just curious, why not go with the Holosun SCS? Also, I grew up with Beretta in the service and hated Glock… until I shot one!
Glock's are really good pistols which anyone can rely on. But let's also be honest, Glock was the best striker fired pistol, when Glock was the only striker fired poly pistol available on the market. The competition caught up to Glock and passed them up a long time ago. Glock has been making the same pistol since 1982. There are way too many better options out there if you are in the market for a striker fired poly pistols that are cheaper, better made, and you do not have to add anything to the pistol out of the box to make it mechanically a better shooting pistol.
All those things are true... if one of those other guns gains the track record and the parts proliferation it would be great. That's what keeps me on the platform. Now it would be counterintuitive to switch
@@truthseeker1581 I should have clarified my comment when I posted. You could say my comment was for people who were considering buying their first poly striker fired pistol. It would be counterintuitive for a person like you that has invested so much in the Glock platform. If a person like you switched to another poly striker fired pistol manufacturer, you Glock,s would become safe queens.
I had owned firearms for for 30 years before I decided to buy a poly striker fired pistol. Before this, all my pistols were all metal. My first poly striker fired pistol purchase was a G17 Gen 4. I went with Glock because of its reputation and on recommendations of friends. I then got a deal on a G19 Gen 3 and a G19 Gen 4, brand new with 3 mags each for $399.00 ea.
I have since bought poly striker fired poly pistols from other manufacturers, like S&W, Sig and H&K. Unlike my Glocks, these other pistols did not need a darn thing out of the box (to make them mechanically better) when I bought them. Once I bought these other pistols, my Glock's became safe queens. I have several issues with the Glock's, like the cheap plastic sights and the tiny mag and slide releases. My biggest beef with my Glock's are the horrible ergonomics. I absolutely hate the Glock pistol grip angle.
Better how? It’s impossible to quantify that objectively speaking. Glocks need new sights out of the box sure, but everything else is preference. Many including myself shoot them extremely well and are used to their triggers and grip, and they have less recoil than many modern alternatives (pdp, p320, vp9 etc). What actually matters is the gun is reliable, and glock embodies reliability.
@@josephlegacy929 I own several Glock 9mm pistols, including two G19's. I also own several striker fired pistols from other manufacturers, including a H&K VP9 and S&W M&P 9. 1. The pistol grip angle on the Glock's make the pistol very uncomfortable to shoot. I absolutely hate having to cant my pistol grip hand down in order to line up my sights. The VP9 and S&W 9 have a 1911 pistol grip angles and point naturally. No canting of the wrist required. 2. My HK and M&P came with nights sights out of the box. Glock have the cheap plastic "u" sights. 3. My HK and S&W have ambi slide releases, Glock's do not. 4. The mang and slide releases on the HK and S&W are nice and big. The Glocks are tiny. 5. Triggers are better on the HK and S&W. 6. The mags on the Glock are plastic. The mags on the HK and S&W are all metal, and are coated with a material to assure they function under adverse conditions, like if they get a little sand on them. 7. The machine finishes on the HK and S&W are superior. Break down the pistols and you can see that it took a lot longer to machine the HK and S&W than it did a Glock. 8. The finishes on the Glock are cheap compared to that of an HK or a S&W......I have a lot more but you get my point. Like I said Glocks are good pistols that you can rely on, but now there are way better options and for the same price, except HK. HK's are pricey, but worth every single penny.
@@josephlegacy929 I have several striker fired poly pistols, including two G19's and one G17. I also have a VP9 and a Sig-320, and and a S&W M&P, all in 9mm. So i will compare my G19 Gen 4 to my M&P 9. 1. Glock has that horrible pistol grip angle that forces its shooter to cant the wrist in the gun hand down, in order to live up the sights. My Smith has a 1911 pistol grip angle and points naturally. 2. Glock came with cheap plastic sights. My Smith came with Trijicon night sights out of the box. 3. Smith has ambi slide release, Glock does not. 4. Smith came with metal mags that are coated with material that will help facilitate the extraction of a mag if sand gets in the mag well. Glock comes with cheap plastic mags. 5. Smith has a better trigger. 6. Smith is better machined and finished. I can go on and on but you get the idea..........Like I said Glock's are very good pistols that you can rely on but they are definitely that the best option for a person interested in purchasing their first striker fired poly pistol. PS, I sleep with my G17 Gen 4 by my beside.
Selling my p365 and going for a 43x mos like how the p365 feels but don’t like how it shoots. Always was a good shot with a glock
I have to use a Glock 22 Gen 3 at work, and I absolutely loathe the magazine release on it, and the G19 Gen 3 I qualified with was just as bad. I'm expecting the G19 Gen5 MOS that I ordered to be much more usable in that respect. I've also ordered a Streamlight TLR-1HL and Holosun 507C to go with it as well as a Safariland 6360RDS ALS/SLS duty holster that handles the optic and light.
My ONLY gripe with Glock is what you get as far as factory upgrades out of the box, for the time we live in. The performance trigger should be a standard trigger, double undercut, magwell, sights, better grip texturing and metal FKN mags. You buy a glock just to upgrade it essentially (yes you dont have to) but compared to other manufacturers, Glock lacking in thia area
SOCOM/FBI/Most agencies, nuff said
Most agencies drove Ford Crown Victoria and now Chargers and Tahoe...does that mean they are the best??? 😂😂😂 hell no!!! They are good for the price and reliable though..I'll give ya that...not a glock hater I have a few.
.also have Glock..HK amd Sig Sauer as well
🤡. U.S military chose SIG, nuff said? By your logic
@@kevinrichardson8859 I concur
I loved my Glock 19 MOS. Seriously just a well-designed and well-manufactured tool. My main complaint were the ergos. Just didn’t feel good in my hand. Also, it gave me about as much excitement as a hammer does. It’s a great tool with little personality. If you’re cool with that, then it’s truly a great utilitarian gun.
Just bought glock 9 gen 5 a month ago great gun .
Either they’ve been shooting for a while and had the previous gens when they came out or the internet told them too
And now holosun has scs-mos sight.. so no need for a separate plate....
Because the 19 is an excellent gun for size, reliability, shoot ability, low bore axis, mild recoil, and easy to carry and be proficient with.
Why are people still buying G19? Simple answer, "PROVEN RELIABILITY!"
I have a g26 and g30. Love both, carry both
Nice vid. What do you use for a mag extension/rounds? Thanks.
I went with the 48mos at my older age of 59 .. but I do like a 19 .. just not to carry all day … but great gun
I wanted a G19. Never got one. Ended up with a G17 and G45. Still want one. Going to get a G43X MOS tomorrow, too good of a deal to not. Enough to grab a G48 slide and have a slim G19 basically.
Because my girlfriend’s sister’s cousin-in-law bought a Sig and i heard that it done blowed up in his waistband and now he doesnt have to wear a strap when he plays sports.
Best gun I’ve ever owned never had a Problem or jam. Does what it was made to blast😂💯🔥
I’m 5’8 and 165lb. I’m a smaller framed guy so I know a G43x would be easier all around to carry verses a G19 Mos. However, would a G48 Mos be more in the middle ground between the both?
Love the 19x and the 19 handles Buffalo bore and Underwood 147 +p+ like a boss
But Glocks chambered in 40 or 10 mm can't handle Buffalo bore
Im new to the gun world and I absolutely absolutely love my Glock 19 gen 5. not to heavy for me, I took it to the range and it was smooth to shoot. I will add tht top sight at some point just didn't know how expensive it is omg 😳 over 300. I have no prob with the grip I like tht there's no set wedges on the handle.
I bought a Better than Glock Shadow Systems , Glock still puts Plastic Sights after 5 Generations , They went back to a single Pin , The 34 of past had the Slide Top Cut Out for weight . To get what you can buy for $900.00 To Upgrade a Glock = $1500.00 so $ 900.00 with all the out of the box . I shot glocks since they came out . I found It was Best to Buy the 23, 22, 35 , and Buy Conversion Barrels all you have to Buy is 9mm mags then you have a 9mm 40 cal 357 sig will work fine in a 9 mil Mag . Bill Drills Depend on The shooter .
This right here! Only glocks I own are a 22 & 23 for the simple fact that you can use the conversion barrels to get 2 additional calibers from the same gun!
Have had a glock 19 for a decade now. Not my favorite pistol to shoot but pry the last one I'd ever get rid of for alot of reasons
Glock 17 or 19 are just so fuckin good. Stock builds with a WML and a optic and you can do anything with it
First pistol was a Taurus g2c, looking to upgrade to a G19 mos gen 5 🔥
Agree and I also don't like irons obstructing the glass.
What kind of mag extension do you have? That looks very nice. I’ve been thinking about getting. Warne tactical mag extension. It adds five rounds.
Its ours! The Herrington Arms +5 glock mag extension
Appreciate the feed back but it's from ndz performance they have great base plates and many other aftermarket accessories,im in ca so I had to find ways it wouldn't add rounds to the mag lol
@@herringtonarmswhat kind of light is on it? In the thumbnail?
Because that's what everyone recommends and the buyers don't know any better. 😏
Glock triggers - you either love them or hate them...but one thing you can count on, they're consistent. I can feel the trigger on your Glock and know exactly what it's going to feel like before I ever touch the firearm.
Would love a 19x/45 vid
Basically the same gun
@@gab1172 I mean they’ve done like 4 p320 build vids so clearly they don’t have a problem releasing content on the same/similar guns lol
Was this guy under a rock? The G19 has been selling like crazy forever
@herrington i have big hands i need something with a barrel length of 4 or 4.5 a full size BUT if i get a compensator should i go with 4 inch so it will equal out to a full size
Any difference between the G19 assembled from Austria vs USA?
Thin layer of chapstick on your WML before shooting goes a long way when cleaning your light
My friend ceramic coats his lights
My Gen 5 G19 rail is 1913 size. My 1913 light key fits perfect, but the GL key is too small.
I don’t understand why people get the Glock 19 just to put a extended magazine in it, for all of that just get the Glock 45.
G19 is still the GOAT modern handgun. Siggers and the like be gone
Everyone should own at least one G19. Great gun.
I own sigs ..czs..m&ps …glocks..and so on …I carry a Glock 19 more then anything ..I don’t know why ..for self defense …..it’s a great tool ..✌🏻
Can't understand people buying glock and than change everything? Why not using it stock righ out of the box ?
Most people actually do run them stock.
A better question is, why is the tlr1 on that glock 19 instead of a tlr7a?
It's so good, I have two!
Are you going to trust the optic when the battery sh'ts ?
You say beginner gun and yet it is the gun of choice for the Green Beret and Navy Seals, even though they have the M17 & M18 issued, many still operate their Glock 19 pistol for concealed carry and EDC.
Night sights, ammo, holster, range time. That’s it
Just built my first . Built my first Ar a couple months ago. Not to sure on the 80% lower I bought. Milled out fine but it's...idk chinsy
What little mag extension is that
who did the stippling on that one in this video?
The glock 19 is way over rated, i have a G45 (9mm) and that works for me 100%, G19 is good but let's give some love to the other glock pistols 😎
Because it works . End of explanation 😂
Love my gen4 19 ❤
I got the 45 gen 5 and the 19 gen 5 i don’t know why I still prefer the 45
More rounds, larger handle 😅
The Glock 19 is a no brainer excellent gun runs flawlessly!
do you ship comps to Australia
I have no complaints with my Gen 3. Even though I know the Gen 5 is out
Because it's the most proven semi-auto pistol in history and modern times. No other pistol, outside of the 1911, has had more years of combat, service, and carry..ever. And proving itself over and over again in those categories. There's a reason that every polymer striker fired pistol is compared to, and is an attempt to dethrone Glock. Because they are the top of the mountain. And while some pistols have maybe a better trigger here or there. No one has made a better overall pistol in its category yet.
Glock 45 gen 5 favorite gun
Mostly because of name recognition honestly. Good guns for beginners but once you get in the game long enough it’s just so bloody boring. Hence why it has such a big aftermarket.
The mantra of the Glock owner: maybe they'll do it on the next one...
Like the iPhone 🤣
@@Johnny_Utah13 Exactly!
And the mantra of everyone else….”It’s a Glock Killer” as they try to copy it. 😉
"dont like fixed/hard height sights" ... really ok and that's you EDC
I have a Glock 44 and a PSA Dagger. It's a solid platform. Glock does suck ass when it comes to modernisation.
The only upgrades to pistols since 1980 have been red dots, back straps and slide serrations. Glock offers all of these things.
Is this the MOS version ?
