I went with the 19 also the only hand gun I own. want to the range last week man you can spend a lot of money just shooting it but it is fun I have to say. I also have to say I need a lot more pratices I suck with a hand gun. am a rifleman my self. but had to get a self defence weopon. know I need the class that is next.
Just purchased my 17 on Sunday. It feels super nice to hold, I got bigger hands so the increased size over a compact is a much better option for me. I grew up shooting a Ruger and a few .38 Revolvers so my 17 was a great choice.
@@CartersChambers17 is just as good as a cc. Just cause you like your carry to be just as small as that other little thing you're concealing down there doesn't mean a bigger gun can't make a great cc 😂🤡
thanks for your videos Hickok. I can tell you're a man of integrity and great character. my wife has never seen your face but every time i play your video she says "i like that guy."
I don't get it. At least 100 shots were fired and no one died. I thought guns killed people. But really, excellent video. Really exited to buy a gun, and these Glocks seem awesome!

@@kerrycline947 I'm sure less than a hundred civilians in the United States own a Glock 18 and also it's in 9 mm not 357 sig.. also the most powerful Glock is in 10 mm
You helped me greatly in making the decision for my first Glock (the 19) and my first carry (the Glock 26). Thank you so much for your videos, hickok45!
I remember watching this video 10 years ago when I had only 1 glock and wishing I had more glocks. Now I own 11 glocks 😎thanks hickok for the years of content and knowledge 👍🏾
It's not just the lack of a glaring corporate presence and the intrinsically greater value of independent reviews, its in the small details- Where he is shooting, his demeanor on camera, the constant display of both his extensive knowledge of and,tremendous skill using firearms (I haven't watched all his videos but, I cant say that I have seen him miss in the videos I did watch). I like how he doesn't seem like he is showing off. In both his shooting & dialogue there a relaxed grace that I dont often notice from younger men. +Hickok45, you sir have some serious style!
Thanks man I'm about to buy my first firearm and It definitely helped me understand the differences, now I won't sound like a total moron in the gun store.
Don't be afraid to ask questions at the gun store, most that I have been to are more than happy to help you out and educate and they won't judge. The worst thing you could do is go in there acting like you know what your talking about.
19, 23, 26, 27, & 30. This man has encouraged every one of these to sit comfortably in my care. Definitely love all of them, but I favor the 23, and 27 the most. For the 27, the Talon Grips are literally a must, at least for the California Gen 3 only roster.
When I first shot my G23, I thought it kicked a lot. After putting about 700 rds through it, I can manage it really well. It almost doesn't kick at all anymore. It's a matter of taste, and just getting used to it. I did shoot the G27 and didn't like it. The size made it not so manageable.
Dane Stetson It's pretty easy to modify a Glock 17 to full-auto. It still isn't a Glock 18, but maybe that's what he means. (Even tho that's illegal even in the states as far I know.)
He probably meant to say 17, and his finger slipped while typing. I know it's a little bit big for a carry gun (at least, by my standards) but it's more likely than him actually owning and cc'ing an 18.
You’re the soul reason I first got into Glock handguns. My first purchase was a Glock 48 the I purchased the 29 based on the way you you talk about it.
Have all of them except the G20 & G29. Love them all but it's something about that G30 that just captives me especially when I shoot it. Love too try the 10mm Glocks next.
Hickok, just so you know, I recently got a GLOCK and on the registration card where it says "What made you choose Glock?" I wrote, D) Other:_____HICKOK45 from RUclips_____
I just purchased a Glock 19 gen 5 a week ago. Love it!!!! In a week I shot about 1000 rounds already. Since the gen 5 is new to the he market, there aren’t a lot of accessories (holsters) for it yet.
Basically what Hickok is saying is= He can give you HIS own opinion and experience with a glock. As you can see he likes them all. You, the buyer, the owner, and the shooter need to go to a gun shop and pick up the pistol. You need to see how it feels in your hands as well as the function. Also you need to shoot each caliber if you can and find which one suits you best! Also what purpose are you buying the weapon? Home defense, vehicle, or conceal carry? For MOST (not set in stone) new shooters or someone that doesn't shoot that often then you'll be fine with a 9mm. It gets the job done. For more novice shooters or somebody experienced they tend to lean towards .40 S&W. Then the .45 is the next step. A lot of gun owners jump straight to the .45 thinking its the best but, ya know, how well can you manage the recoil and control it? I have the Glock 23 in .40 and I love it. Let me also remind you that you can switch out glock barrels if you buy a 9mm and want to step up to a .40. Or vice-versa.
You're a gift to this earth Mr. Hickok. I got my first gun an LCP MAX after watching you laugh yourself silly firing an LCP 2. I didn't get my next two pistols, a CZ 75B and just a few days ago a 9mm Shield Plus without watching your video first and they were both so helpful. The whole family loves your vids. Keep doing what your doin boss.
I like Glocka as well. This video is a bit dated. I'd love to hear about your thoughts on more current Glocks. I own a 43x and it is a very nice compromise between small size for concealed carry and grip purchase in my opinion.
Love my 26, surprisingly good shooter for such a dinky pistol. A consideration that might have been missed: ammo cost. It's much cheaper to practice with your 9 mm than any of the others.
I can't believe this video is 4 days from being 10 years old. Props to the whole Hickok gang!! Over the past several years I come to Hickok45's page to hear his thoughts on certain guns before I ever make a purchase.
Hi Hick, nice videos. I just bought my first gun, and it is a Glock 22 (.40 caliber). I am 6'3 , 240 lbs. and I am so happy. I entered the shop confident I was to get a 26, 42 or 43. I discover my body frame can conceal the full size Glock 22 quite easily, and it is so comfortable . Patience was rewarded when selecting the gun. There were 3 sales guys and each had an opinion, but the 3rd guy , older and wiser spoke to my need, and knew I was there to buy the right gun, right then. After my purchase, the value added benefits of the Glock 22 kept on coming. Yes, the interchangeable capacity of magazines are a real benefit, but the big unknown surprise is and always will be the 3 interchangeable barrels, .40 or .357 or 9mm, that are available for the same frame of the Glock 22. Is this a benefit found only in the Glock 22? You should do a video on Glock barrel changes and how a .40 can go to a 9mm but a 9mm can't go to a .40. Thanks Hick. Regards from Florida.
Ryan Tong The G18/20C eat ammo just like every other gun so what's so "ammo waster" about both? A G18 is basically a non-civilian version of the G17 w/ select fire (fully auto) that, by the way, can switch back to single shot. G20C, big 10mm, you gotta pay to play with big calibers.
Ryan Tong Fair enough. Currently, reloading is the way to go for the budgeted shooters. I shoot once a month (roughly around 100-200 rounds per session) and have enough 10mm ammo to last me for at least a year in a half so I'm not too worry about running out of ammo anytime soon.
Thanks for the great video. I'm new to the world of Glock. The information was nicely presented. I'm trying to decide between the 21 or the 19. Thanks again.
9mm is cheaper ammo, so you can shoot more. is lighter, if you carry. 45 packs good punch, and recoil is very manageable. so, decide on the caliber, and then see what fits your hand better. I prefer the 19 to the 17 just because of the feel in the hand. if you go with the 45, try out both the 21 and the 30, there will be a subtle difference in the feel. personally, I love my 19, and my 30. good luck
Lyle W What's your opinion on the best Glock for 40. S&W? I'm torn between deciding on which of the two cheaper calibers to go for. 40cal and 9mm are what I'm between, and am wondering the most popular for each caliber. It seems the 9mm has the Glock 17 as the most liked from what I've read here. But not much for the 40cal.
Well I've shot firearms since I was young, I got my CPL shortly after my 21st birthday in 2016. My first handgun was a ppq, then sig 238, ppq 45, shield 9mm, 1911, Walther ccp m2, Walther Q5 match. I must say I use to not really even consider a Glock, but this year I started off buying a Glock 19 after renting one, then a Glock 23, and here we go, I can't stop buying them..... LOL. Thanks for all the awesome content, really do appreciate the joy you bring to us shooting in all your videos.
Glock 23 is all around the best perfect stopping power energy edwin Starks on RUclips did 45 vs 9 vs 40 40 out did both but glock 23 is perfect size not to big not to small and for cpl as I am apart of myself brother is perfect under your shirt u can't tell even a lil bit it's there
Tell me that's not your favorite since u bought it honestly in realiblty power speed size grip sights smoothest 40 I've shot myself and put over a thousand threw my first one which was a gen 3 glovk 23 and never jamed cheap ammo expensive don't matter as long as u take care of it a year after my first 40 from glock gen 3 23 I've bought 3 more glock 23s 2 usa and 1 Australia version never a problem i have a double holster that is unseeable and most comfrotbel I've had I carry 2 glock 23 gen 4s now and i have 1 at the house also plus 2 glock 21s
Watch out. You buy one, get into guns, then you say "hay I kinda want another". Then before you know it you have too many to even afford to shoot them all.
I never like Glock because of the looks. However I bought a Glock 24 this week. Took it out to shoot I have no idea whey I never bought one before. The brake down very easy and shoot great. I have several sw and on Beretta Storm which I love, but I will be buy more Glocks in the future. Just that good.
The the 45 ACP is probably in my opinion the most ballistically inferior round that you could concealed carry because it doesn't penetrate like a 9 mm it's velocity is way too slow it's not even as concealable as a 9 mm 40 380. The guns that shoot 45 ACP you have less capacity than you would with a 40 or 9 mm and it's penetration is less than both it does however have a lot of energy transfer because of the weight of the bullet. But say for instance the 10 mm is a slightly smaller caliper with a lot more power and you get more capacity. Most people like the 45 because of its fictitious reputation of being like the baddest caliper made but in a gun battle I would choose a 9 mm of 40 or 10 mm over the 45 everyday because you have capacity so there is suppressive fire you have better penetration of bullets move faster The Recoil on a 9 millimeter is not a sharp
@@MichaelDMcCasland lol also buddy your 380 u feel is better than a 45 lol holds way way less even less than a damn 22 lmao has no stoping power even the 9s was to muvh of a risk cops changed to a 40 cause not enough power so buddy your 7 round 380 vs a 7 round 45 or a glock 21 which is a great gun btw 380 glock will jam after 100 shots new the 21 don't jam no matter cheap or expensive ammo but new or old and holds 14 bolders In it to even have the nerve to compare a 380 to a 45 in words of better if u wanna every day carry a 380 good luck protecten ya family and your self vs any other weapons other than a 25 22 or 32 u might have a chance
@@MichaelDMcCasland now that is my 2 cents like every one says opinions are like...A$$HOLES every body has one but honest best of luck not being rude just think saying a 380 is better than 45 for edc shows you gotta learn alot more on guns good luck brother not being rude I swear my opinion
@@shake1602 Plus the gun store that I bought it from where pretty rude to me the one day and it came with night sights that where not on straight. In fact the gun store that I traded it in said the same thing.
Almost makes me want one of these abominations. ;) Actually that G30 looks sweet. Thinking about one... came to the ancient archive for wisdom from the master.
I was trained on the Glock 17 and did pretty well in qualifications with it. That being said I will never own one as they are ergonomically inferior to other Polymer handguns. I carried an XD-40 as a Company Police officer and scored higher with that firearm. The XD fit my hand better, I shot better with it and it fit ME better. Now if another person finds the Glock to fit them better and THEY do better with it then who the hell am I to judge THEIR CHOICE of firearm? By the way if you want to see who will be the demise of the second amendment just look at these comments! We bash each other and bicker like a bunch of children while throwing out a slew of personal insults that degrade us down to a middle school lunchroom level.
I totally agree with your acessment of this subject.Name calling is ramapant and so is the swearing.That tells me we have a bunch of youngsters who lack command of English language.
Dane Stetson Most of the lewd comments are young video game junkies that have never been into actually shooting and their parents don't monitor their internet use. Occasionally you'll have Brand Myopic adults act up but check the screen names. If they are video game related then 99% of the time it is a very young person.
How do video junkies think they can make a good assessment on subject they have no experience in.What charlatans'! Like I said before these youngsters think to emphasize a point calling some stranger a lewd name or throw in a cuss word here and there it makes then sound smart iT does the opposite
Most are folks who feel if you don’t like what gun they want you to like then you deserve to be bashed. Many hobbies have folks like this but the gun community seem to have way more than most hobbies.
Thank you for the world of info ! I am a Glock fan,- but a fairly new shooter. I saw the difference in the recoil for each caliber. Am purchasing my 3rd Glock,- and all these considerations have enormously helped me !! Thanks so much !!
I looked through all the videos and haven't seen any Polymer 80 Glock videos.Im sure alot of people would love to know your opinion on them and how they compare to the OEM Glocks.I highly respect you Hickok45 I love the videos and have gained alot of knowledge from them.God bless bro!!!
Excellent review, as always. I just think that for demonstration and instructional purposes, you should have a 17 and a 22 in there. Yeah, I know they aren't your favorites, but if a person were going to keep a flush-fitting magazine in a handgun in their car, dresser drawer, or as you like to say, on top of the refrigerator, why would they NOT want to consider a full-capacity offering, and gain a couple rounds with no sacrifice? Again, I understand your love for the 19 and the 23, and I share it, but skipping the 17 and 22, especially in an instructional and all-encompassing Glock video like this, is glaringly remiss. (I love your videos and have.....for MANY years.)
It was a Leo trade in, barely fired. Must have been owned by a desk duty cop. 4 back straps, 3 mags and case. Finally came and finished the background this past Tuesday. I might buy another and sale it. Those are the only guns I can find under 300$!
Señor Hickok... Soy un argentino de 73 años, fans de las armas de puño desde joven. Fuí gran parte de mi vida Policía de Investigaciones, o sea siempre de paisano. Esas 4 Glock que ud recomienda las tengo desde hace muchos años. Formidable poker. Pero a mi me cuesta tanto como a ud no decir abiertamente que la 23 y la 27 son insuperables para el trabajo policial. Ese plus del .40 SW, lo encuenteo en toda circunstancia. Tambien me siento muy cómodo y seguro con mi Glock 30S. Lindo informe señor. Hasta pronto si Dios quiere...✌️
Nice video! I just bought a 26 it's the first Glock i have owned. The grip is a little shorter than I have had. I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for the vlogs!
great video! after watching it, it made my decision easier on which glock to purchase which will be the Glock 23 gen4. Thank You! picking it up tomorrow! keep it up, sir! huge fan of yours!

Move to california and that'll be the only pistol you can own!
I just purchased a Glock 19 gen 5 a week ago. Love it!!!! In a week I shot about 1000 rounds already. Since the gen 5 is new to the he market, there aren’t a lot of accessories (holsters) for it yet.
Lol a glock 19 is a glock 19 use your glock 19 holster gens don't matter a 19 is a 19
Basically what Hickok is saying is= He can give you HIS own opinion and experience with a glock. As you can see he likes them all. You, the buyer, the owner, and the shooter need to go to a gun shop and pick up the pistol. You need to see how it feels in your hands as well as the function. Also you need to shoot each caliber if you can and find which one suits you best! Also what purpose are you buying the weapon? Home defense, vehicle, or conceal carry? For MOST (not set in stone) new shooters or someone that doesn't shoot that often then you'll be fine with a 9mm. It gets the job done. For more novice shooters or somebody experienced they tend to lean towards .40 S&W. Then the .45 is the next step. A lot of gun owners jump straight to the .45 thinking its the best but, ya know, how well can you manage the recoil and control it? I have the Glock 23 in .40 and I love it. Let me also remind you that you can switch out glock barrels if you buy a 9mm and want to step up to a .40. Or vice-versa.
I bought a glock 20 cause i live in MT and she keeps me safe in the woods. Thanks Hickok45
Glock 27 is the best off duty weopon I've seen
You're a gift to this earth Mr. Hickok. I got my first gun an LCP MAX after watching you laugh yourself silly firing an LCP 2. I didn't get my next two pistols, a CZ 75B and just a few days ago a 9mm Shield Plus without watching your video first and they were both so helpful. The whole family loves your vids. Keep doing what your doin boss.
just bought my first gun, glock 43 battlefield green it shoots great love it! great video to thank you.
"Homeland Security buzzing... Private Property" 😆 -LOVE IT!

I like Glocka as well. This video is a bit dated. I'd love to hear about your thoughts on more current Glocks. I own a 43x and it is a very nice compromise between small size for concealed carry and grip purchase in my opinion.
Good to see this video. Been watching your videos for years, have seen so many of your glock videos and today I bought my first 19 gen 3.
Nice!!!!
Love my 26, surprisingly good shooter for such a dinky pistol. A consideration that might have been missed: ammo cost. It's much cheaper to practice with your 9 mm than any of the others.
The 26 might be dinky, but at 25 feet it hits really well
Hickock has mentioned in other videos if he had to have one, it would be his Glock 27 .40SW.
It took me 10 years to get the "GlockFest" joke..
I laughed anyways!
I can't believe this video is 4 days from being 10 years old. Props to the whole Hickok gang!! Over the past several years I come to Hickok45's page to hear his thoughts on certain guns before I ever make a purchase.
Do they make a bolt action glock?
dafuq?
Not all polymer wonders are made by Glock.
Mailto Sage Your comment made my evening. I busted out laughing.
No they do not make a bolt action glock i hope you where just joking or you act like your 5 or 6 sorry dude
Mailto Sage What prompted this question?
I just like how the 17 shoots, for me I seem to shoot dead on with 17 .
Same here glk 17 👌🏽
Y’all ugly omm
I’m a G19 Type Of Guy 🩸
Got a glock 21 in 45. acp. Been working amazing. Such a joy to shoot at the range.
i got the gen 4 i love it
+Thomas Jervis That's the glock I am buying next, the 21. You got the Gen 4?
+Thomas Jervis
Smoothest shooting .45 ever. I had a 21 at one point, lovely gun.
I have viewed many reviewers, hickok45 is a great place to watch GLOCK reviews
Hi Hick, nice videos. I just bought my first gun, and it is a Glock 22 (.40 caliber). I am 6'3 , 240 lbs. and I am so happy. I entered the shop confident I was to get a 26, 42 or 43. I discover my body frame can conceal the full size Glock 22 quite easily, and it is so comfortable .
Patience was rewarded when selecting the gun. There were 3 sales guys and each had an opinion, but the 3rd guy , older and wiser spoke to my need, and knew I was there to buy the right gun, right then.
After my purchase, the value added benefits of the Glock 22 kept on coming. Yes, the interchangeable capacity of magazines are a real benefit, but the big unknown surprise is and always will be the 3 interchangeable barrels, .40 or .357 or 9mm, that are available for the same frame of the Glock 22. Is this a benefit found only in the Glock 22? You should do a video on Glock barrel changes and how a .40 can go to a 9mm but a 9mm can't go to a .40.
Thanks Hick.
Regards from Florida.
Any chance you guys could do an updated version of this video at some point I'm kind of a glockaholic
The best Glock is the Glock 18 or Glock 20C.
Ryan Tong The G18/20C eat ammo just like every other gun so what's so "ammo waster" about both? A G18 is basically a non-civilian version of the G17 w/ select fire (fully auto) that, by the way, can switch back to single shot. G20C, big 10mm, you gotta pay to play with big calibers.
Ryan Tong
Fair enough. Currently, reloading is the way to go for the budgeted shooters. I shoot once a month (roughly around 100-200 rounds per session) and have enough 10mm ammo to last me for at least a year in a half so I'm not too worry about running out of ammo anytime soon.
glock 43 is the only glock that I need.
Thanks Hickok45 and your son John for all your informative videos! I enjoy watching them so much.
Watching this video 8 years later and still one of my favorites 👍🏻
Thanks for the great video. I'm new to the world of Glock. The information was nicely presented. I'm trying to decide between the 21 or the 19. Thanks again.
9mm is cheaper ammo, so you can shoot more. is lighter, if you carry. 45 packs good punch, and recoil is very manageable. so, decide on the caliber, and then see what fits your hand better. I prefer the 19 to the 17 just because of the feel in the hand. if you go with the 45, try out both the 21 and the 30, there will be a subtle difference in the feel. personally, I love my 19, and my 30. good luck
.45's cost almost twice as a 9mm. Shooting off a 13 round mag of .45's would cost you around $6
Lyle W What's your opinion on the best Glock for 40. S&W? I'm torn between deciding on which of the two cheaper calibers to go for. 40cal and 9mm are what I'm between, and am wondering the most popular for each caliber. It seems the 9mm has the Glock 17 as the most liked from what I've read here. But not much for the 40cal.
vgman94 go with the 23 or 27 I love the 40 the perfect round IMO and not to expensive to shoot!
Glock 21
I think I know which one i'm buying as my first.. glock 17 mos.
Well I've shot firearms since I was young, I got my CPL shortly after my 21st birthday in 2016.
My first handgun was a ppq, then sig 238, ppq 45, shield 9mm, 1911, Walther ccp m2, Walther Q5 match.
I must say I use to not really even consider a Glock, but this year I started off buying a Glock 19 after renting one, then a Glock 23, and here we go, I can't stop buying them..... LOL.
Thanks for all the awesome content, really do appreciate the joy you bring to us shooting in all your videos.
Glock 23 is all around the best perfect stopping power energy edwin Starks on RUclips did 45 vs 9 vs 40 40 out did both but glock 23 is perfect size not to big not to small and for cpl as I am apart of myself brother is perfect under your shirt u can't tell even a lil bit it's there
Tell me that's not your favorite since u bought it honestly in realiblty power speed size grip sights smoothest 40 I've shot myself and put over a thousand threw my first one which was a gen 3 glovk 23 and never jamed cheap ammo expensive don't matter as long as u take care of it a year after my first 40 from glock gen 3 23 I've bought 3 more glock 23s 2 usa and 1 Australia version never a problem i have a double holster that is unseeable and most comfrotbel I've had I carry 2 glock 23 gen 4s now and i have 1 at the house also plus 2 glock 21s
Person who owns one handgun:Ya I’m into guns
Hickok 45:I’m ‘bout to end this mans whole career
Watch out. You buy one, get into guns, then you say "hay I kinda want another". Then before you know it you have too many to even afford to shoot them all.
I never like Glock because of the looks. However I bought a Glock 24 this week. Took it out to shoot I have no idea whey I never bought one before. The brake down very easy and shoot great. I have several sw and on Beretta Storm which I love, but I will be buy more Glocks in the future. Just that good.
my favorite pistol caliber is 45. acp all the way.
The the 45 ACP is probably in my opinion the most ballistically inferior round that you could concealed carry because it doesn't penetrate like a 9 mm it's velocity is way too slow it's not even as concealable as a 9 mm 40 380. The guns that shoot 45 ACP you have less capacity than you would with a 40 or 9 mm and it's penetration is less than both it does however have a lot of energy transfer because of the weight of the bullet. But say for instance the 10 mm is a slightly smaller caliper with a lot more power and you get more capacity. Most people like the 45 because of its fictitious reputation of being like the baddest caliper made but in a gun battle I would choose a 9 mm of 40 or 10 mm over the 45 everyday because you have capacity so there is suppressive fire you have better penetration of bullets move faster The Recoil on a 9 millimeter is not a sharp
@@MichaelDMcCasland lol also buddy your 380 u feel is better than a 45 lol holds way way less even less than a damn 22 lmao has no stoping power even the 9s was to muvh of a risk cops changed to a 40 cause not enough power so buddy your 7 round 380 vs a 7 round 45 or a glock 21 which is a great gun btw 380 glock will jam after 100 shots new the 21 don't jam no matter cheap or expensive ammo but new or old and holds 14 bolders In it to even have the nerve to compare a 380 to a 45 in words of better if u wanna every day carry a 380 good luck protecten ya family and your self vs any other weapons other than a 25 22 or 32 u might have a chance
@@MichaelDMcCasland now that is my 2 cents like every one says opinions are like...A$$HOLES every body has one but honest best of luck not being rude just think saying a 380 is better than 45 for edc shows you gotta learn alot more on guns good luck brother not being rude I swear my opinion
@Uganda Knuckles thank you good sir lmao he knows nothing really even saying a 380 is better
You are a GREAT instructor! So glad I’m following your channel!👊🏻
I love this video it is probably why I bought 2 glocks I bought a 22 then traded it for a 23 and I have a 27 great guns.
Why trade th 22?
@@shake1602 I saw this video thought it was better to carry which I think it is I still have 22 mags for it that I use as backup.
@@jshkendra Fair enough
@@shake1602 Plus the gun store that I bought it from where pretty rude to me the one day and it came with night sights that where not on straight. In fact the gun store that I traded it in said the same thing.

Actually that G30 looks sweet. Thinking about one... came to the ancient archive for wisdom from the master.
I know it’s 2020 now but I shot a Glock 30 gen 4 for the first time a few days ago and it’s one of the smoothest shooting guns I ever shot
@@foyfamily6960 The new 43x fit your hand like a glove and is short...
@@Ken-bj1sc I shot one at the range it’s actually snappy I like how the Glock 45 shoots a lot better i also like the 26 better
Dear Mr H 45, I like your ramblings, I think you were a great teacher. Thanks for you and John's content.
I was trained on the Glock 17 and did pretty well in qualifications with it. That being said I will never own one as they are ergonomically inferior to other Polymer handguns. I carried an XD-40 as a Company Police officer and scored higher with that firearm. The XD fit my hand better, I shot better with it and it fit ME better. Now if another person finds the Glock to fit them better and THEY do better with it then who the hell am I to judge THEIR CHOICE of firearm? By the way if you want to see who will be the demise of the second amendment just look at these comments! We bash each other and bicker like a bunch of children while throwing out a slew of personal insults that degrade us down to a middle school lunchroom level.
I totally agree with your acessment of this subject.Name calling is ramapant and so is the swearing.That tells me we have a bunch of youngsters who lack command of English language.
Dane Stetson Most of the lewd comments are young video game junkies that have never been into actually shooting and their parents don't monitor their internet use.
Occasionally you'll have Brand Myopic adults act up but check the screen names. If they are video game related then 99% of the time it is a very young person.
How do video junkies think they can make a good assessment on subject they have no experience in.What charlatans'! Like I said before these youngsters think to emphasize a point calling some stranger a lewd name or throw in a cuss word here and there it makes then sound smart iT does the opposite
Most are folks who feel if you don’t like what gun they want you to like then you deserve to be bashed. Many hobbies have folks like this but the gun community seem to have way more than most hobbies.
I love that 21.. absolutely my favorite glock
Thank you for the world of info ! I am a Glock fan,- but a fairly new shooter. I saw the difference in the recoil for each caliber. Am purchasing my 3rd Glock,- and all these considerations have enormously helped me !! Thanks so much !!
i have a feeling this is going to be recommended to a lot of people very very soon, and i like it.
Yup
My favorite Glocks are the glock 30, 29 for the ultimate stopping power 👍
Do you recommend glock 19 for a police officer?
NYPD uses 'em.

No.
I looked through all the videos and haven't seen any Polymer 80 Glock videos.Im sure alot of people would love to know your opinion on them and how they compare to the OEM Glocks.I highly respect you Hickok45 I love the videos and have gained alot of knowledge from them.God bless bro!!!
Does your wife still get mad when you come home with a new gun. my wife sure does. lol
Excellent review, as always. I just think that for demonstration and instructional purposes, you should have a 17 and a 22 in there. Yeah, I know they aren't your favorites, but if a person were going to keep a flush-fitting magazine in a handgun in their car, dresser drawer, or as you like to say, on top of the refrigerator, why would they NOT want to consider a full-capacity offering, and gain a couple rounds with no sacrifice? Again, I understand your love for the 19 and the 23, and I share it, but skipping the 17 and 22, especially in an instructional and all-encompassing Glock video like this, is glaringly remiss. (I love your videos and have.....for MANY years.)
Can you show us your armoury?
zachary stewart no
His shooting ability just floors me! I only wish I could come close. Great video.
I was 12 yrs old when this video was published to RUclips lol! Now I’m 21 and just got a FSC and considering a glock

It was a Leo trade in, barely fired. Must have been owned by a desk duty cop. 4 back straps, 3 mags and case. Finally came and finished the background this past Tuesday. I might buy another and sale it. Those are the only guns I can find under 300$!

Señor Hickok...
Soy un argentino de 73 años, fans de las armas de puño desde joven.
Fuí gran parte de mi vida Policía de Investigaciones, o sea siempre de paisano. Esas 4 Glock que ud recomienda las tengo desde hace muchos años. Formidable poker.
Pero a mi me cuesta tanto como a ud no decir abiertamente que la 23 y la 27 son insuperables para el trabajo policial.
Ese plus del .40 SW, lo encuenteo en toda circunstancia.
Tambien me siento muy cómodo y seguro con mi Glock 30S.
Lindo informe señor. Hasta pronto si Dios quiere...✌️
