Glock 25 Initial Impressions

Trying out my friend’s new Glock 25. The Glock 25 is effectively a Glock 19 but chambered in .380 ACP (.380 Auto, you know, the James Bond gun round). It’s a really pleasant gun to shoot. #glock

The ejection of the spent cases seemed to be a little erratic. Did you notice that ? Does it have an extractor or is it just blow back ejection ?

[@mediumeffort3315]

The Fiocchi target ammo we were using is a little weak with ejecting, when it’s running hotter stuff it ejects more like a Glock 19. No reliability issues with the Fiocchi target ammo though.

Just got mine yesterday, haven’t got to shoot it yet tho

[@mediumeffort3315]

It’s great to shoot. My only complaint is how much of a pain it is to load the 15th round. Easy peasy for the first 14 and then a nightmare to get that last one in the magazine. Only model of Glock where I’ve had the last round in the magazine be insufferable to load. I think you’re going to have a lot of fun shooting it. If you live anywhere in the Northwest then BiMart is doing 1,000 round deals of Fiocchi .380 for $229.99. That’s what we were shooting in this video.

Im from nc man … appreciate u tho i got to shoot it today its alot different from my 19 i think ill edc this over it i feel .380 is enough power to stop a threat n plus its fun to have no recoil

@@Bliccsw10en .380 has been a common CHL round for over a century. Modern loadings with good hollow points/expanding soft points are definitely viable self defense rounds. It’s better to land several hits of .380 instead of only one or two of 9x19. I think your Glock 25 will be a fantastic concealed carry pistol.

Waiting for mine to ship rn, expecting very few of these to sell and jump a lot in value in the next 5ish years. Especially since this is a limited time run on them. Also James Bond's PPK was actually in .32acp, as that was the most common PPK chambering in Europe.

[@mediumeffort3315]

Really, I thought it was a .380? Hmmm, now I need to do some research 🤔. I don’t see the Glock 25 ever fully going out of production. There are a lot of countries where .380 is legal for civilian ownership but 9x19 is illegal. I think that’s going to keep the 25 in the game for a long time to come.

@@mediumeffort3315 Yes it'll stay in production in Austria and ship to Mexico/South America. The Glock 25s available in the US right now are being made at their factory in the US, which they are doing for a limited time. Estimated probably 6 months at most. Which means those will be the only G25s in the US.

[@mediumeffort3315]

@@bower31 I thought the U.S. plant was going to keep making domestic 25s. If it’s going to be a limited run then you’re right, it’ll go up in value as a collector’s item because they can’t be legally imported.

[@bower31]

@mediumeffort3315 It'll be a limited time TALO only option like the Gen 1 17s were yes. Ultimately a 380 G19 sized pistol would sell terribly on the US market
