That's some solid advise! Dont over think stuff. Glocks do the job well out of the box. They are reliable, accurate, and easy to handle and maintain. For a person who just wants to have fun shooting, they work well. For the person who wants self defense, they work well. Hobbyists and more advanced shooters who want them because they can customize them with all the great aftermarket gear, they work well. Your advise is economical, will improve shooting skills and guarantee some fun in the process.
Absolutely true. I still have both my gen1 Glock 17’s that I bought in 1985 and the original Tupperware boxes. They have worked flawlessly though at least 20k or more rounds.
I worked at a gun store for ten years. I can tell you getting accessories for other guns is a paying. You can get glock mags, holsters and sights all in one stop at the store I worked in. We did not carry spare mags for many of the auto’s cuz they just didn’t sell that good. I can’t tell you how many times someone tried to be different and bought something else and came back to trade it in because the gun they bought had no after market support.
Okay, this is going to be a long, but positive comment brother. lol! Because we do live in a golden age of guns with a myriad of options to choose from, it can totally be overwhelming. I hope folks don't get too wrapped around the axel over this video, especially those that have a different gun that is absolutely phenomenal for them, and they own 4 or 5 of them. Understand, this video is not exactly aimed at them. As you state, this is for the potential new gun owner. As someone who does own CZ's and I love them, owns a snubby, and a few other things, when things got weird in 2020, my financial options led me to getting a P80 (factory built with a warranty. not the build your own kit. I also caught very good sale). I also bought a few batches of magpul mags from BigTex, 10 for training or carry if things got really weird and they changed capacity laws, and 15's for carry. I also bought an upper parts kit, and a lower parts kit. Because I didn't know if those things would be hard to get or too expensive in the coming year or more. The reason I bought that (I would have bought a G19 if I had the extra, I wanted a new gun w/a warranty, so getting a used or police trade wasn't what I wanted at the time.) was the ubiquity of the gun. The ability to buy mags, buy holsters, buy sights, buy other parts, the ability for find a dude or dudette to service the gun if needed was way more possible than my CZ's or other pistols. Had we gone in some kinda grid down or other scenario, I would have a greater luck getting any of those things with the G19 style gun. Now that we are sorta at a calm point in the nation and various supreme court decisions have reinforced our rights in various states right now would be a terrific time, if you're new and want to buy a gun, go buy a G19. Be it police trade or even brand new. Like you did paul you saved hundreds of dollars over new by buying a police trade and that money went into ammunition to train & practice. Now that things have calmed down, all the same things apply, in fact I think some prices and availablity have have changed for the better. There's not a rush to buy guns, parts, ammo since the november election, so a person's choices are greater they can get what they want or need. My ONLY caveat, would be this. one of the best "new" pistols Glock put out was the G48MOS. as someone who is a runner I wanted an option that held more rounds than a snubby, laid flatter against my torso, gave me an option to add a dot easier than paying to get the slide milled, and allowed me to buy mags from Shield that would allow me to put 15rounds instead of the stock 10 round glock mags. The thinner profile of that pistol, I feel opens up the pistol market to a lot of folks with smaller hands who may not feel they could get the same purchase as you or other dudes with bigger hands. Anyway, I know a video like this, with a title like this is going to get a crap ton of commentors. I 100% agree with the purpose of the video and the content given. It's solid and very very practical, researched, tested and thought out. People need 1 less thing to worry about when getting into gun ownership and for all the reasons you gave, that's why I agree. Get a G19. or G17. but also, if a person has too much trouble with the size of the pistol, look into the G48MOS. that pistol, with the 15round shield steel mags is my EDC 98% of the time.
My first handgun was a Glock, never shot it well. A 1911 I shoot well, enjoy shooting and the thin single stack carries well on me. But, I like your simple clear approach and advice. It’s certainly better than most, and a Glock is a great gun with tons of holster options.
I totally disagree. My first pistol that I shot with (collected before) was a Glock and I was terrible at shooting with it. I finally got a CZ 75 and noticed I was immediately able to naturally shoot with the better grip angle. I also noticed I could aim easier with Beretta 92's. While I like how simple and reliable they are, the Glock grip angle is trash. I guess people train through it.
@@DaveF-m6n I respectfully disagree. Is being able to naturally point and shoot not important? The grip angle on the Glock is inferior to many other guns like CZ. And is the 15,000 round test often seen with P-01 by CZ not good enough for reliability? I like how they designed the Glock to be simple and I respect how ground breaking the drop protection system was when it came out, but I don't get why it's worth it to have to "train through" the terrible grip angle. The best pistol for the price is the CZ P-01 with it's superior grip angle, flat shooting because it eats recoil despite it's size, and how reliable it is.
How does someone new to guns understand grip angle? They have no idea what they would shoot the best with until they shot a bunch of different guns once they even learned to shoot. Glock's grip angle might not work for you, but most people shoot perfectly fine with a Glock. There other reasons to have a Glock as well. My favorite gun right now is my SA Echelon, but I would not advise anyone new to guns to get one.
Hey Sir! So I have the Glock 23 Gen 2 I’m having difficulties finding a Kydex inside the waist holster for this gun .Can you recommend a good hoster company for this gun? Thank you in advance.
Eh. Kind of. I guess. Except some of us have different needs. My one pistol would be a Glock 20 or a 4 inch .357, maybe even a .44, because I live in a rural state and I am outdoors a lot where there are bears. Real bears. One of the densest grizzly populations in the Lower 48. A 10mm or .357 fits my needs more. Even a .44 could be argued as more pragmatic than a 9mm in my situation. That is the problem with the one-size-fits-all approach. The market is saturated with small, high capacity 9mms because the industry is so myopic it can't help but go all-in on a trend while ignoring all the exceptions that have different needs, or simply aren't interested in compromising for the status quo.
I can understand that logic. Most of the guys I go shooting with are engineers or hobbyists types. They shoot my sig or Walter then someone else’s Glock and nobody goes for the Glock unless they get a smoking deal on one usually from another friend that is selling his Glock and moving to Walter or sig. Then I watch the guys that bought starter Glock for a good deal shoot mine or others guns and they pass the Glock on to another new shooter. Happens a couple times per yr in my circle. You still can find good deals online them but not near like before. For your average guy a Glock is fine I carried one for my first yr of edc. Then moved on to cz, sig and Walter. don’t have a Glock at the moment. Would if I found a smoking good deal.
I am required to carry a G22. I have been required to carry a P229. I prefer to carry a P30 LEM. For fun I prefer my USP Elite. All are fine serviceable weapons. My wife likes her tuned CZ75B and her G26. Eclairs or Maple logs?
Once police departments and feds bought glocks, their accidental discharge rate increased 10x. The truth is that the average user doesn't understand how light that trigger is. There is no room for error when drawing or holstering under stress.
So let me get this right. In the beginning you said you only need 3 things: 1) Buy a Glock 2) Buy some ammo 3) Buy training Later in the video you go on to say aftermarket sights and mag release. I say that to say this go to a gun store grab the guns you’re interested in and see which one fits you the best and then buy ammo and training just my opinion
Lot of good guns for a good price out there these days. I say check all the big names in guns and do check fit for your hand. Being able to run the slide and reach all the controls is important. You can mod a Glock to make all of those things easier but that's also saying a person without experience should get modifications done. I figure if they can find another pistol that they can use a little better stock then that is the way to go before getting something and modifying it to make it work for their hands. Definitely feel free to go and hold a Glock 19 first. If you can rent a few guns at a range first though no harm in doing that.
I’m in CA and I’ll get a Glock 19 IF there are no cheaper options for me. My middle finger will be uncomfortable with the trigger guard because of its design. It’d cost me more money to have frame work. Plus I need it to be optics ready. So far, I can see it being around $1000 all together, which I’d prefer not to spend for a first pistol. I’ve watched in a video that the Shadow Systems MR920 will become CA compliant too so I hope it won’t be over $900 out of the box. For Glock 19 modifications on frame and slide, I’m looking at Juggernaut Tactical.
I am curious if they're going to ruin the CA model with the stupid loaded chamber indicator. Regardless, Shadow Systems isn't exactly the same reliability as a Glock even though people like to say it is. I've watched tons of reviews on their various models and especially out of the box it seems like they have a break in period and are more finicky with ammo types. I agree with you in CA that a Gen 3 G19 for $600+ is a bad deal though. I'd look at the M&P 2.0 and VP9 lineup if modern and optics ready are your thing. I don't understand why Glock has not released their Gen 5 MOS in CA yet.
But there ARE better options than Glock. Springfield Armory Echelon 4.0C, Smith & Wesson M&P, Sig P365 X-Macro Tac Ops. I’d take any of those over a Glock any day.
You are entitled to your opinion but I own and shot most of those (except the new Echelon C) and while they are all good in slightly different ways, BETTER is very subjective... Stay frosty
@@cobia224...: Glocks will shoot right out of the box better than he’ll ever be able to shoot. Yeah, he’s a much better shooter than Robert Vogel, etc… 🙄😆
Yes there are much better options. Walther P99 AS (40 cal) was my EDC. Now it's a Springfield XD 45 cal (3.3 barrel) that I had a gunsmith put a new trigger, new springs, new optical and tuned. Getting that compact Echelon next. Then that Reuger Super Redhawk Alaskan 454 Casull..
Why buy a imitation when you can buy the real one especially when the imitation cost more and made to look like the real one,also the real one has a record that the imitations can't match,Reliability, customization, endurance, and it keeps on kicking ASS😮-❤😂😂😂😂😂😂
My own reply I own a S&W, Rruger, Taurus, Remington, Colt, SAR 9, Henry, Marlin, a couple of Brownings and a few Glocks ,I intend to buy a Shadow soon. The Glock 43x, is my EDC and LC 380 for pocket carry.
I agree. But since a Glock 19 is same price as CZ p01, why not start out with the gun that shoots flatter and is easier to point/aim? The only advantage is Glock is lighter than cz p01 but Americans are fat and lazy and don’t hike or run so weight doesn’t matter.
I totally disagree! I have 2 Glocks. my Brand New 43x was unreliable out of the Box and had to go back to Glock twice. And my 27 Gen 5 is not as comfortable to carry as my Sig P365x, Hk vp9sk Shield 2.0 or even my XD40 Subcompact
Definitely buy a used Glock. Save the extra money for a good belt and holster and ammunition to train with. It makes little sense to buy a new Glock when they’re disposable to begin with. They’re made of plastic. If you treat it well they have a life span of no more than 30 to 35 years. Glocks are not like your Great Grandpa’s all steel 1911 that you can pass on to your grandkids and they can still shoot it.
Total nonsense. There are lots of us for whom the the grip does not fit and the funky trigger is a no go. A striker fired pistol that uses the trigger for a faux safety is the last thing I would recommend for a beginner as you are dependant on perfect handling and more dependant on holster design than other action types. That said if you want a striker fired auto there are lots of reliable quality options out there to try for fit, recoil management, and pointability. There are also all kinds of actions and styles that one may prefer. Contrary to the fanboy rhetoric there is no perfect one size fits all solution. The best approach IMNSHO is to try as many options as possible before laying your money down.
As an owner of only 1 Glock (20) in 10mm but also own Sig P365's, Shield Plus's, CZ P10C &P10F, Ruger SR9C, & others, I see both sides of the Glock issues. Glock owns reliability & durability at the expense of plastic sights, slippery grip which is at a weird non-standard angle that few people like, unsupported barrels that don't do well with lead & hard cast bullets, and a trigger of the past. Updated features & models never come out, just a rehash of the same old thing. Look at what Ruger has done with the RXM! Glock should have done this. And there is no Glock to compete with the P365. The grip length of their 43X is way to long for pocket carry & you still have everything bad of the things mentioned above. If only Glock would modify their 43X with better sights, shorter traditional grip angle with decent grip texture with a traditional stack & a half metal magazine, a removable FCU, fully supported barrel that supports all bullet designs, I'd buy one in a second. By the time I changed the barrel, trigger job & connector, Talon grips, I had over $1,000 into the pistol. Durability and reliability have remained 100%. Glock could easily make these changes, but leave the door wide open for others to give us the features that we want. But I do miss the durability & reliability of the Glock, Especially when shooting thousands of rounds per year. So I'll keep waiting to buy my 2nd Glock, while routinely sending my Sigs, S&W's, Rugers, Kimbers, back to the factory for repairs.
Glock makes the perfect combat handgun for people without any idea of what a combat handgun is.
My experience, Glocks just work. That simple.
I have 26 with a 19 mag . I love it .
PSA dagger is just as good for half the price
That's some solid advise! Dont over think stuff. Glocks do the job well out of the box. They are reliable, accurate, and easy to handle and maintain.

Buy what works for you... stop being sheep
Total nonsense. There are lots of us for whom the the grip does not fit and the funky trigger is a no go. A striker fired pistol that uses the trigger for a faux safety is the last thing I would recommend for a beginner as you are dependant on perfect handling and more dependant on holster design than other action types.
That said if you want a striker fired auto there are lots of reliable quality options out there to try for fit, recoil management, and pointability. There are also all kinds of actions and styles that one may prefer.

So I'll keep waiting to buy my 2nd Glock, while routinely sending my Sigs, S&W's, Rugers, Kimbers, back to the factory for repairs.
