    Hey Johnny
    I'm 17 at the moment and have been shooting competitively for 5 years now. Target shooting is a really good sport and people shouldn't be scared about guns as the media has put on bad influence on them. It can actually be really fun when guns are used correctly.
    Keep up the good work Johnny
    Keep spinning and shooting😁
    Tommy

    Just a pro tip, it's usually best to look in the chamber to verify a firearm is unloaded rather than thinking the extractor is going to do its job, otherwise you may as well rely on the loaded chamber indicator only.

    Listen I don't even own a glock 17 gen 5 or any glock but I tell you what, this is absolutely the very next gun I'm buying...in my opinion, the glock 17 is the best 9mm ever made, it's a damn good price, you can customize the shit out of the gun, and it's just as good if not BETTER then guns that are 1000 dollars 1500 dollars....honestly nobody can compete with glock in my opinion, this is coming from a canik owner!

      Not true. The Glock 17 pistol was just the first pistol Glock made. Glock had 16 other patents before the Glock 17. They make a shit ton more stuff than just guns. Glock was a company long before being a gun company.

Basically, as time went on they made upgrades and improvements to the gun. Gen 1,2,3,4 and now we have gen 5.

    You mention that if you can shoot a Glock 17, that you can then shoot a G43x and G19 very well. Full size handguns are actually easier to shoot accurately than compact/subcompact gun. Full size hand guns give you alittle extra weight that makes it actually recoil less, bigger grips so that you can get a better purchase on the gun to mitigate recoil and long barrel/sight radius. So the opposite it actually true. Smaller guns are harder to shoot. I do agree though that I would get a full size gun to start.

    Hey Johnny,
    Recently received my firearms license up here in Canada. Our instructor drilled into us that the firearm should only be called a firearm and not a weapon. We are currently struggling with new laws implemented that restrict our access to firearms. Firearms can only be used for hunting or sport in Canada, and when they are referred to as “ weapons”, it fuels the government with more reasons to ban and remove more firearms from the market.

      @marksantillanez8166 Год назад

      Glock sights are not good, when you get hired on to a department, those Glock Sights will be replaced most likely by 3 Dot Night Sights... There is a reason why most Law Enforcement Agencies and Military Units change the sights out, because they are Plastic.... Most Pistol training is based on 3 dot sight platforms. My suggestion is to switch the sights to Tru Glo TFX Sights or Trijicon HD both are Day/Night sights with an Orange front sight, Amazing for front sight acquisition.

      You can always buy a gun from hasboro that properly suits you. Because that Glock has several safeties.

    Rule #1 is and put this in your tiny little brain and never forget it. Never, never ever point any firearm at yourself or anyone else unless your intent is to harm them. Unloaded, dismantled or any condition, never. It does not matter what condition the weapon is in, regardless of anything. DO NOT DO IT, understand? It is not good to go. smh... 0:50

    The term "weapon" implies offensive use, as opposed to the term "firearm".
    Were you in the Navy, or Army, or something else fruity-cake that uses the term "weapon"?

    You’re the ONLY person I’ve ever seen to say that “Glock Perfection” is true. Which it’s not of course. There’s a difference in reliability and perfection.
