I grew up in New York with a "Guns Are Evil" family and I had never been exposed to the shooting world. Thank you for your time and effort in explaining proper handling and appreciation and introducing me to my favorite new hobby. I have a job transfer to Texas in April and I cant wait to be in a free state. Keep up the good work.
Welcome!
MrDschloef ironically enough I learned to shoot and bought my first gun in NY. A Ruger 10/22 almost 20 years ago. Addicted ever since.
Sadly, I live in a "guns are evil" country. I wish it was as simple as moving state. Sick of living in Australia where personal protection is not a legitimate reason for owning a firearm. Only place you can shoot a pistol is in a range. For this reason, I would love to live in the US, preferably somewhere like Texas.
Lol anybody feel like sponsoring a poor, rights deprived Aussie? 😂
How has it worked out? I'm 15 and live in Missouri I live on 150 acres and shoot when ever the weather will allow (or parents) I hope to be getting a G17 I've been saving up for all summer.
MrDschloef I love the fact that I just walked out of the store with three firearms and no questions asked. I'm Glad to be an Alaskan. Gods country!!!
I still have this pistol. I use it, shoot it, carry it, & trust it. Works fine for me in the "non-virtual" world. :-)
Whats your favorite generation sir? My gen3 has been reliable.
hickok45 Do you still have it today? 🤣
I was the first person in South Carolina to buy a generation 4 Glock , I was told that anyway.
I remember buying it in Charleston S.C. and coming strait home and cleaning all that gold lube out while your Glock vids played in the background. I value your content alot.
I was just curious to see what spring my gen 4 23 had? 0-3 I guess they had cycling problems as well ????
I traded taurus g2c, 3 12 rs mags, 2 15 rd mags, a we the people holster and 200 RDS for my glock 19 gen 4 thatbhas tritium tru glo xtremes on. It. Upgraded sping and barrel. And SRILLL got the better deal this gun is incredible!!! Bout a gender 5 mag for it looks same fits like a glove I highly recommend this firearm u can just feel the quality when u pull slide back its just smooth and accurate and just all around a bad ass firearm its my new everyday carry
I have a Glock 19 gen 4 and I've got about 2000 rounds threw it and I have never had a malfunction, it has worked out perfect

I just acquired my first Glock 19 Gen 4. I shot a buddies during the summer of 2016 and fell in love with a gun but just didn’t have the money for four years and just got my own recently. Even with the factory sites at 50 feet I still can manage 3 inch groups without even really trying. My first handgun was a Smith and Wesson model 59 also a 9 mm and I couldn’t hit the side of a barn at 10 feet with
A solid grip is all it takes
I love how people bash a 9mm now because everyone thinks bigger is better. If you can shoot like this guy, you will have no problems getting the job done.
For sure
Lots of benefits to 9mm, and I switched to g19, but doesn't make it equal shot for shot to more powerful calibers. Seems only handgun hunters can wrap their minds around concept
@@FearScherer yeah wind chanelling and the velocity of the bullet make all the difference. 9mm is faster and creates more internal than the .45 acp
Im italian, and in italy we can't own automatic guns and we can't shoot in the open like him, we can only watch americans have fun whit guns on youtube, I hate it.
Start a revolution, overthrow the existing government, add an amendment to the new bill of rights guaranteeing your right to keep and bear arms. Or you could just move to a country that has already done that. The revolution part might be difficult without firearms however...
Venga América
If glocks were so unreliable, they wouldn't be the main duty weapon for police agencies all over
British Forces use the Glock as well, I think the US Army went with a P220. In the UK it replaced the L9A1 (Browning Hi-Power 9mm). It seems a lot more user-friendly. The Police here have been using them for years.
@Betsy Ross 2a Mate thank you for the correction. Do you think the US forces will eventually standardise with their choice of service pistol? I believe the reason all UK forces now use the L131A1 SLP (Glock 17, Self-Loading Pistol) is standardisation and parts commonality. British Police use the Glock 17, and covert/sneaky beaky Police use the subcompact (??) version, The Glock 26 (??) chambered in 9mm.
I've never heard the claim they were unreliable.....not ever.
S Piderman the only reason the army went with the Sig is because the contract was $1 million cheaper than the Glock Contract
In my experience people hate on glocks cause they just work. They are the workhorses of law enforcement and many civilians carry them as well cc. I also see that a lot of guys hate and I mean hate that their 3,000 dollar Kimber or their 1,200 dollar Sig is always outperformed by 500 dollar Glocks every time... Plus people just love to hate cause so many people own and like Glocks...
+Joisey Kids If they were so good, why can do Glocks say thay have to have a minimum speed to function reliably? Great guns eat any ammo, period.
Joisey Kids People bashing Glock, yet they watch videos on them.
your so beautiful.
The only other handgun I shoot other than glocks are colt 1911, the original work horse
Let’s just look at overall gun sales, that tells me they work period. Maybe that’s why I got 10 of them.
@xBossAwesomex, I've shot it several times since doing the videos. The only malfunctions I've had were with the early videos. AFter I shoot it some more, I might test it again with whatever the worst / weakest 115 grain 9mm is to see if I can get it to malfunction with some of that stuff. I really don't care, though, if there's an occasional malfunction with the worst, weakest ammo. For the spring to work better with normal powered ammo, I guess it HAS to just barely perform with light stuff.
Reliable, simple and good design. I love Glock.
OMG, I just rented a 19 and a 26 today at my range and man am I sold. I absolutely love the G19 and will buy one soon. I really liked everything about it and just loved that trigger... :)
@ashepp7 , This new camera seems to enhance the sound, as well as the picture. The other Sony is an excellent camera, but this one does very well.
I've watched this video several times; and, I always pick up additional pointers from Hickok45. He is a great voice for the gun-liker community. Thanks Hickok45!
@purkjason , Thanks. I plan to try all the low-end ammo (price-wise), as well as some of the next level ammo. I don't really see much need to spend money on hollow point ammo; we all know Glocks will feed anything. It's the level of power that's needed I'm mostly experimenting with.
i just bought a glock 19 today im so excited.
xXGAMING101Xx they’re also affordable and that always comes first with government contractors, but I’m with you. They wouldn’t be so widely known and used if they were duds.
Just bought mine yesterday and will hot the range in 2 weeks. Going to be a LOT of fun with my G19 and my AR!!!
Just bought on today too haha
@@soccertavo price plz ?
@@asadkhan-im7kq 640
I'm new to the Glock family, and truly enjoy watching your videos. Good info and love the range setup you have ! Look forward to many more !
@luiskilla91592 , We didn't have a lot of choices since we wanted an HD camera with at least 25X Optical Zoom. The best camera we could find that has that level of optical zoom was the Sony CX 150. Plus, it has some internal flash memory, which makes it nice. it seems to be a good camera thus far. We just started using it. The only reason we were slow to go HD was the fact that we knew we would have to do a MAJOR computer and editing software upgrade. The camera was the easy part. :-)
The sound of loading ammo is wonderful
I thought I was the only one who loved that sound in his videos. Glad to know I'm not alone lol
hof8231 The ping of the spent brass casings hitting the ground makes me happy.
I love My 19c gen 4. Went to the range today for the first time since April. Such a fun time!
19c gen 4 where did you buy it ?
@@TheTexan99At "The Gun Store" in Waterbury CT. 11,800 rounds through it. Always makes Me smile!!
Just wanted to say thank you for all the excellent reviews. Just made it to the range today for the first time in 10 years. I can't remember why I stopped shooting but I missed it. Happy holidays Hickok!
Because of your expertise and enthusiasm I went out and made the glock 19 gen 3 my first firearm purchase. Thanks Hickok45
Discovered your reviews a few weeks ago, and I sincerely enjoy them, and decided to subscribe to your channel. Keep up the good work.
+Milks25 Glad you found us; you have a lot of homework to do now. :-)
Not sure why I've waited all these years to get a G19. Just picked up a used gen 4 and put about 300 rounds through it. Probably my favorite Glock now.
Darin here, I would like to thankyou for influencing my decision to perchance glock 19 [gen 4]. Its wasn't an easy choice for me. I have had the gun for about two weeks and i haven't yet gotten around to shooting it. I shoot a glock 19 once at point blank that was rented. Very dirty and it didn't malfunction once. Its my first pistol and i got it for self defense and sport. i love your work/fun. Thanks again -Darin.
I really enjoy your videos , I just bought the Glock 19 Gen4 mainly because of your reviews, I have other 9mms and I am really impressed with the feel, weight and balance of the Glock. Thanks for all of your reviews, they provide great information for prospective buyers and long time owners. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Mr Hickok45 for all your work. I never grew up with anyone to teach me about this amazing world. I'm going to purchase my very first gun pretty soon. I'll keep watching your videos and continue learning. thank you again
@1962egl , Good point. Yeah, a lot of people talk and talk about the duel recoil spring being the problem, but Glock as definitely established a great track record with duel recoil springs. It's just the strength of the spring that is the problem for some. shooters and some ammo. My guess is that the aftermarket will take care of the issue pretty quickly, if Glock doesn't. There will be springs of every weight imaginable. I've always preferred stock springs, but we'll see how it goes.
@dcpinner , I usually clean and lube a new gun with Ballistol before I fire it.
thanks hickok 45 for the good advice and the encouragement after several hours of your glock love videos to go and buy my first glock 19 , i'm in love with it. thanks man
Hey,Hickok.YOU ARE GOOOOD.I am glad you're here.my favorite youtube channel
wow i bet you got a lot of happy customers putting up all these videos right near christmas, thanks for the entertainment and great guns in the past few weeks hickock45
merry christmas
Your videos are awesome, I've been shopping around and your videos are guiding into the direction of a Glock 19 Gen 4.
Air Force MP vet, 1982-86, love your channel. Wasn’t a Glock fan till I bought a Gen4 G19, fell in love, perfect size, 100 percent reliable, great trigger. I shoot both eyes open, my local Sheriff is right, if you can shoot, both eyes open you will become an excellent shooter. And I am, not as good as you, but close. Ima marksman with an m16, ak47, and good with an M60,and20mm grenade launcher. Very good with G19 . Glock can for life!!!!
Thank you Sir for your excellent videos.
What a great teacher you must have been...I have learned so much watching your videos!!!!
The Glock19 Gen4 was my first handgun! As a hunter in Germany, i'm limited to two handguns, rifles and shotguns are without ans limit.
I like my G19, but today i would buy an Glock chambered in .40 S&W, and a 9mm Conversion Kit for training on the range.
My second handgun is a 4" S&W Security Special in .357 Magnum.
I just picked this up as my first gun. I had watched your videos on these and how highly you recommended them and after shooting their store version in the store today, I knew it was right for me. Thanks for your videos! I may turn into one of those hooked guys and buy more guns later because of it.
Acc0rd79 I just bought one today
@londoncarroll , I suppose they are mostly right at the edge on power factor. About any carry ammo is going to be stronger, and this would not be an issue. Guess I could live with one occasionally if I'm saving enough on cheap ammo; however, it would become annoying if it happened very often. I certainly would not shoot a match with anything that was not 100% reliable either.
been watching your videos alot and just recently bought a glock 19 after watching this. its a wonderful gun and i just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to make these.
I've owned my gen 4
Glock since the ending
beginning of 2012-2013
only fired a few hundred
rounds thus far, but zero
hiccups! I keep 6 fifteen rd
mags loaded with a mixture
of federal hst 147 grain rds
in five of those mags and in
one I keep federal hydro
shok in 124 grain as well as
two 33rd factory Glock mag
one filled with hornady critical
defense 115 grain and the
other if more federal hst 147 grain. best setup ever
YOU SHOOT SO WELL !!!!!!!!!!!! I TRULY MEAN IT.
Just bought a new Gen 4 19 and ran about 200 rounds of reloads that I bought online through it and it functioned flawlessly.
Honestly, from my experience, I've never had a Glock malfunction and I put probably 2-3 thousands rounds though them each year.
Best channel/great humor. Supporting from up here in communis...I mean free state of MA!
Excellent firearm, has never never failed shooting any type ammo from the cheapest to expensive! Shot for over a year until I clean it! Alex, retired USMC
I have a glock 19 gen 4 and a glock 22 gen 3 fde. The 19 is absolutely amazing. I had one hang up as you did with this one but it's been smooth sailing since then. Same with my 22. The only modification I've made to them is Hogue grip sleeves. Love the channel! Shooting the breeze helps me kill time at work lol
Mr. hickcock, thanks for all your reviews. I've been watching your reviews, reading & asking salesman and friends. After a lot of studying I choose the glock 19 gen 4. I had it narrowed down between that and an xdm. test fired both and the glock felt better (I don't know if that makes sense) but anyway thanks for your guidance.
Wow Hickok, I am really loving the new camera! 720HD looks AWESOME!
hicock45 is the man! love the videos!
No problems with my G19 gen 4 after hundreds of rounds....love it!
Your humor is great and your shooting is excellent. Good job sir
I love to watch you shoot I have learned so much from watching your videos thank you for doing what you do.
I came back to watch this video from nearly 4 yrs ago to remind myself of the problems that the Gen4 G19 went through. These days I believe the gun is very much GTG, but a week ago I decided to run a #3 RSA I took out of my oldest Gen4 G23 in my own Gen4 19, a more recent FDE version. Perhaps because of all of the 40S&W rounds that this particular #3 spring has already seen over the years it's loosened up quite a bit, but the G19 didn't bobble in the 350 rounds I ran through it. Hardly scientific but I still thought it interesting. Shot a variety of 115gr and 124gr rounds, though most are considered hotter (S&B 115gr, Lawman 115gr and 124gr, Federal AE 124gr, Blazer Brass 124gr, HPR 115gr) than the UMC that you were shooting back in this video.
A long time ago I personally found that Remington UMC is IMHO one of the lesser ammo types on the market; I've had problems with the stuff in 9mm and 45AUTO in a number of otherwise reliable handguns, including Glocks of multiple generations, 1911s, SIGs, M&Ps and CZs. I know of a customer who had a squib shooting that stuff; fortunately he recognized the problem immediately before squeezing off another shot and thus giving himself a really, REALLY bad day. Seems anything firearms-related tied to Freedom Group or Cerberus Capital these days is suspect. A shame, really.
These days the only REAL problem I personally have with current Glocks is with rust, something that in the "good old days" was never an issue with the old, discontinued Tenifer steel treatment they once used. Really dislike having to constantly wipe down my IWB carry G23 nearly every day just to keep the slide from further pitting damage, something I never had to do with my old Gen3 G19 when I carried that one.
With the Gen4 G19 in particular, the main problem is supply; I can't find them in any quantity ANYWHERE. No distributor seems to ever have any in stock, and I've had a backlog of customers who've been nagging me to get one (or more) in for them. If you have a reliable contact over at Smyrna, could you tell them to start pumping them out in far greater quantities? They don't seem to listen to dealers and their "gun counter commandos" :D very often, it seems. Maybe a RUclips 'rock star' might fare better. Much thanks...and keep your excellent vids coming.
Good video. I just bought a gen 4 from buds gun shop the other day. Can't wait to go pick it up. Thanks for recommending buds, got a good price!
I’ve had about 2 years with my Glock and no jamming issues whatsoever, hearing you say it’s been 25+ years and no issues gives me faith in it lol
33rd round looks beautiful on it btw. 🔫
Lol love the “nobody I know has that experience” 😂
@hickok45 nice camera. clean and sharp.+ you have entirely too much fun! Merry Christmas hickok. all the best in '11.
jay
This is a great gun. And Hickok is a great shot!
LOL!!! Limp wristing tendency. Phrase of the month. Love it. Great video. Love your videos and keep em coming.
Glock 19 gen 4 very nice gun thanks Hickok Andy nice shooting
Great gun! Thank You sir. Keep up the good work.
Great information on the spring. I didn't realize there was different springs that could come with the Glock 19 Gen 4.
@2ndamendrights, I appreciate your doing that, because maybe it will be easier for me to find the models I want on the shelves in gun shops. They have a way of getting scarfed up before I get there. :-)
Got another Glock coming in this week my favorite handgun among the 30 firearms I own, thanks for the 19 review
Great video Hickok.
I have been through a lot of great guns to include HK, Sig, FN, CZ, SA, Steyr, Beretta, S&W, and Glock, and the Glock 19 Gen 4 is the absolute most perfect pistol for me. Now I love all the others, and I think they are fine guns, but I have tested them all to know for absolute sure the G19.4 is my gun. I guess it's true that your gun finds you rather than you finding your gun, and I've tried really hard to find a lot of other guns besides the Glock 19, but it is what it is. For me, this is the perfect EDC/GP gun made.
Just purchased a Glock 17 gen 4 and a 19 gen 4 and shot the 19 today. All I got to say is what a gun! Very nice trigger and the stock sights are dead on. Feels real good in my hands and break down and cleaning is really too easy. Thanks for the great videos, they really helped me and my son out from decision making, purchase and shooting.
How's your 17 gen4 doing? Have a 17 gen3 and am just curious. Thanks.
Just like I stated in my comment
I just bought a glock 19 gen 4, and I love it. Thank you
thanks hickok. i'm a few days away from buying the glock 19 that i've decided on mostly through info from you, and have been previously set on the gen 3. you've got me re-thinking now. i may hold off to see the extended testing of the gen-4
Put 250 rounds today through this same pistol. Five boxes of different ammo, worked flawlessly !!! Glocks for life 19 !!
Hikok45 I sincerely respect your opinion on firearms. I just bought a Glock 23 gen 4 upon watching your recommendation for it! I love
It!!! Thanks and keep up the excellent work!!
Hey I was just wondering do you do any trigger control or do you just slap it because you shoot so well?
Thank you Sir best weapon Glock 19 Gen 4 Love it Sir
Thanks Hickok. Perfect timing. Plan on picking up one Jan 2. Wanted teh Gen 4 19 but have been hesitant on all the disscusion on problems revolving around the recoil spring.
I poored over reviews for months trying to decide on a new hand gun. Thanks for all your great reviews. " You can't go wrong with a glock 19 " .
I also bought a glock 19 gen 4 and is very exited to get it,can’t wait.from south africa🇿🇦
DAMN thats a sweet new hd camera you got hickok
@bodybuilda44 , Apples and oranges, just depends on what caliber you like.
I've never been a fan of striker fired pistols, but for the money and reputation, Glocks are hard to beat.
Hey Hickok love your channel. I wanted to let you know I have a bad habit of buying the cheapest 9mm ammo available and I have never had any issues with any of my Glocks (Gen 3 or Gen 4) with feeding and ejecting. I agree with you totally that the Glocks are some of the most reliable polymer handguns available today. I love them.
Thanks for this video. It was full of great information. I did not know about the 03 & 04 springs for the Gen 4 Glock 19. Mine is an 03. It started out having several misfeeds with Remington ammo. My wife had more trouble than I did. I just finished an IDPA match with my Gen 4 Glock 19. I ran several different types of ammo. No misfeeds. There could be something to the break-in period for the 03 spring. I also left the Glock lubricant in place at first. Each cleaning removes some of this.
you are driving nails with the glock 19 gen 4 , really a joy watch you shoot, i got to get one of these wonder little guns
thanks for the video
Just bought a Glock 19 Gen 4, because of Hickoc45 only one of the very very few gun guys worth watching
I think the Glock 19 handles great, although, I’ve had a Glock 48 before a 19 gen 3 now a gen 4. I have taken it apart to make sure all the numbers are up to date, but I have been getting odd ejecting issues. No failures but some brass to the face along with rain like brass being ejected. I checked the ejector as well as the extractor. Other than that being a little activating it’s very smooth and dependable.
I just purchased a 19 gen4 yesterday. I have watched all of your videos on this firearm and I cannot wait to take it to the range tomorrow! Hopefully it will serve me well as I start my first competition ever in the Glock division. I trust everything you review and like. I know that I will be extremely pleased with this pistol. Thank you for taking all of this time to review it.
You'll enjoy that pistol. Good choice on the Gen 4, too. If I were buying a new Glock for myself, it would definitely be a Gen 4, rather than a Gen 5, even if I had to pay more for it.
hickok45 Thank you, Sir!
@greenteen90 , Sounds like greenteen needs to try some Decafe. :-) So much hate. Calm down and enjoy the holidays, and maybe buy a new Glock. You'll feel more relaxed. :-)
I've put 600 rounds through my "03" sprung G4 G19 and I haven't had a single issue. I've been shooting UMC and WWB 115gr. No cleaning thus far and no issues. It's a case of getting what you pay for. I shoot cheap ammo for practice but I don't expect it to function like ammo that I pay $1 or more a round for. When I put this gun up after a range trip I don't leave a UMC loaded magazine in there. For PD, I use a very hot and capable PD round that will cycle. Keep up the great work Hickok45!
at the beginning mine hung up 2x on the same mag but I've used it every since with not one hiccup or anything, just needs broke in a little bit, I got 3 of them I love the gen 4 so much an trust them so much
Good video Hickok. Thanks sir!
Hey, So I have been dong scholastic pistol shooting events with my Venture crew here in Maine. I have only shot Smith and Wesson M&P 22lr. pistols in these events, but I have a chance to buy a Glock 9mm through the program for around half price. The models offered are model 17, model 19, and the model 34, all gen 4's. which one do you think might be the best choice?
Love your videos!
Been Waiting For This One !
The trigger after u fire when u release u can hear trigger reset audibly love this gun so much especially when sight, barrel and recoil spring and sticker guides ben upgmmraded its a beast shooting 147 grain hits like a freight train. My buddy carries to but he carries a damn glock 29 10mm with 175 and 180 grain
just seen the pics on face book! really nice hickok
wow really impressive hise is the best channel ever, hickok i really like your videos.
i have a question what is your favorite hendgun?
and what is your favorite rifle?
Great Gun Great Video... Ive used Glocks since 1991 And have had great success with there products.
I bought a gen4 19 in 2010 and it came with 04 spring. I have had 0 failures of any kind. The first 1000 rnds I shot were PMC bronze 115 gr8 ball. After that I've shot UMC, Winchester white box and that really weak federal champion. No problems great gun.
Great vid! Fantastic gun!
just bought one of these this week!!!! first handgun ever its so cool!
Hickok45 enjoy your videos, purchased my first Glock the G30 last year. My Berreta 92fs may not get a lot of use after i can find a Gen 4 G19. Wasn't a Glock fan until i actually shot one and i was hooked.
Glocks coming along. .. few more days.. I’ve been enjoying all your videos. Thank you Sir. G3
Taking baby steps.
I have a question. If we made our own rounds? “Ammo” Would we have less malfunctions?
Real review. I love it. The power of a round.
Just bought one today, so pumped!
I've owned Glocks of different models for 20 years & only had a few hiccups due to my poor grip or cheap ammo.I got my 19 gen4 a few months ago & use slip 2000 lube & it has held up well with no malfunctions.
