I met a Norwegian soldier some years ago and he said the 19 was standard for their military and their 'navy seal' type units. It performs well in cold weather and those dudes swim with it.
Also being a lefty i started with the gen 4 i found i didnt like the mag release being on the right side (for goofy shooters such as myself lol) so i swapped it back to the left side. I eventually went down to a gen 3. Ive shot right handed firearms left handed my whole life. Ive learned to manipulate the weapon to lefty needs haha. Cant wait to try out the gen 5 i havent had a chance to check one out yet. And also to the comment about the gen 4 n 5 being illegal in cali i was unaware that was a thing 😔. I knew they had the oversized mag bans but glock gen 4 n 5s man thats so silly. Get out of there and somewhere with less strict gunlaws my friend.
I’m a lefty. Ive been shooting Gen3s since they came out. I use my forefinger to release the slide lock and my middle finger to drop the mags. I tried to use a gen5, it feels unnatural for me to use my thumb. I’m faster and my grip doesn’t change using my gen 3.
I've been carrying a glock 19 gen 3 in my pocket for years now. And shoot it often. I have yet to have any malfunctions. It eats any ammo you can throw at it. And yes in my pocket no holster! I just clean the pocket lint out of it from time to time. He'll I've even washed it in the sink. Best gun I've ever carried.
I disagree about the Glock or handgun being the secondary weapon. The only group of people that the handgun is the secondary weapon is military. What I mean is that people going about their normal routine do not have shotguns and or rifles handy. Everything else I agree.
This is my current ccw since getting my license. It was easier to conceal than I expected. 5'3" 135 lbs and wear men's small tshirts. So far no one had googly eyes on my piece yet. However, it prints very hard on my body other than my appendix.
If you didn’t know yet, go buy a G48….MUCH smaller footprint than the 19 and far easier on the belly! I’m 5’11” and 200lbs….It’s A LOT more comfortable than my 19 and will be my main CCW!….Even if the smaller grip means I have a harder time holding it.
My first pistol and only pistol is a G19. I've shot many others and nothing beats the simplicity of the glock. Yes a well maintained 1911 is just as reliable but simplicity is where the glock beats all others. If I went into combat tomorrow, I'd take a glock
I own many Glocks but shoot the G19 the most. I've tried the G43 , G48 , & other small pistols but the G19 & G23 are my favorite by far. I just need more practice with the G23 40cal but ammo at $1 a round has made shooting a rich man hobbies.
TheBull916 I prefer the gen 3 for two very specific reasons. 1. I LIKE the finger grooves. They fit my hand well. 2. I HATE the stippling on the gen 4 and 5. That’s it. Your results may vary.
Just picked up my first 19 Gen 4 in ODG. Liking everything about it so far. The widespread ubiquity, cheap magazines, and legendary reliability was what swayed mu decision from the Sig P320. I have a small Sig P938 single stack for carry, but may replace it with the 19 G4.
Gen 3 G19 works best for me. My opinion is based on owning over 35 pistols/5 revolvers in my 53 yrs with an Army MP and deputy sheriff background. Guns are like boots you like what you like for your own reasons...Most importantly is to be good with the guns in your collection but be great with the gun you carry (whatever it is).
I recently sold all of my Glock's. Hell yeah they are great pistols, the G19 should be most ppls first pistol as you said. Easy to use, clean and it's safe. They chew up and spit out anything you put in them. Light weight & accurate. Your advice is sound and this is a good video. New shooters pay attention. This guy hit on a lot of simple things most miss and there was no bs in this video. Great job.
Great pistol. I have big mitts. So I have a G17. Love it. Also carried a 1911 in the military. Loved it too. Still have a Colt I EDC in the summer. Its flatter. So it's easier to conceal.
I'd trust my glock 19 with my families lives as mine as well. I have owned sigs Taurus Smith n Wesson karr and Beretta. All very fine weapons but my glock is the only one I still have.
Fantastic video!!! I have been looking at purchasing a Glock 19 G5 in the near future. I currently on a bd carry a Glock G21 & absolutely love it. I’m sure I would also like a G19 as well.
Disagree - buy the Glock 23 in .40 cal, then get a conversion barrel for ~$120 (Lone Wolf, Storm Lake, etc.) to convert to 9mm rounds - now you have BOTH a Glock 23 and a Glock 19. Buy another conversion barrel for .357 Sig for another ~$120 and you also have a Glock 32. Then buy the Advantage Arms slide and mag kit for ~$300 to shoot 22lr (note that this is now rimfire vs. center fire) and you also have a Glock 44. Starting with a Glock 23 gives you 4 calibers in one frame - the ultimate lego gun!!! You can still go down to the 22lr starting with a Glock 19 to shoot much cheaper practice rounds with low (no) recoil - good for new shooters - but you can't go up in caliber because of the size of the hole in the nose of the frame. 9mm is good for self-defense, but for a large assailant .40 cal has a whole lot more stopping power, which is why it's used by FBI and state and local police, as well as park rangers (think bear and cougar defense) Just an opinion, my two cents
Hey great video. I am new to your channel. I was wondering if you had to pick a glock 19 or p320 which one would it be?. I carry a glock 42 or 43. I want one for the house. Thanks for any advice.
It took me a few minutes to realize they're laying on a table and not hanging on a wall, lol. Awesome video. I'm looking to get a Glock one of these days.
LOVE my Glock 19's (Gen 3, Gen 4, Gen 4 MOS and Gen 5 MOS). I have Vortex Venom red dot sights 3 moa & 6 moa for the MOS'. Red dots really improve my aim. Did I tell you about my other 9mm Glocks? Why buy anything else?
I have a Glock 23, .40 caliber, bought a Lone Wolf 9mm barrel and 2 magazines, when I want to shoot 9mm I just change the barrel. Works flawlessly. Will now buy a .357 Sig barrel and 2 magazines. With one pistol will have 3 guns. Don't let anyone tell you there's problems, there's no problem. Plan to get a Glock 27, do the same thing. With 2 pistols I will have 6 guns. Fabulous.
I own a P226 I love it and consider it my main gun. The 1911 the Grand daddy and everyone needs one I think....the glock 19 I also own...it's my carry piece.. It's ugly...but, its tough and they work! Which is why I bought it. I'm a Sig fan and my 226 comes first
G43 all day every day in summer. I’m so used to it is now my year round go to. Yes I carry a second mag. I’m good with large weapons. I carried a p220 believe it or not but in my new job and dress shirts tucked the full size 45 was to much.
My first pistol, I got 3 of them Great review I also got a Sig P 228, the compact version of the Sig 226, I think that's the one the G19 shoulde be compared to IMHO
went with the Glock 23 for new edc because of current ammo problems and 9mm is the hardest to get now. Def more snappy round, I'm about the same accuracy between the 9mm & 40sw, faster shooting takes a hit however. Just recently got a tungsten guide rod and it def made a difference in taming th muzzle flip. Couple hundred rounds through it w new guide rod and I'm feeling jst as comfortble w it as the 9mm G17. My Beretta Brigadier is still a my "racecar" shooting weapon. For me nothing shoots faster and accurate as the 92. Not the easiest conceal carry however. Practice makes perfect :) GREAT VIDS!
I personally am not a big fan of any red dot on any pistol or tactical light on a pistol. The only replacement that I made when I purchased my G21 was the sights. My personal opinion I cannot see buying a 600 dollar pistol & putting 1,000 dollar worth of upgrades to it. If I was that inclined to do so why not just purchase a Wilson Combat or a Staccato to begin with?? Yes I can see putting a red dot on a rifle or shotgun!! Just my opinion.
Hi jerdog3. Here are my thoughts on this. As for range ammo, if it is for target at shorter range, nearly anything that is commonly found and cheap will work from 115-147 grain. If you are shooting reactive targets, I prefer the heavier 147 Grain bullets. As for defense/carry, The Federal HST, Spear Gold Dot, and Underwood Ammo - all in +p and 124-147 grain is what I prefer.
Gotta agree. Most guys I talked to mentioned the 19 as an excellent first gun. My only beef: ( Really with most all I’ve looked at ) being left-handed, gotta learn manipulation differently from most everybody else.
I use a Glock 17M, I'm a big fan of the enhancements with that model. I also have a Glock 32 I use as a carry gun, same dimensions as a G19, but fires the superb .357 Sig round.
The ONLY issue I've had with Glock, is the mag... and that's only when left loaded for a while, and it didn't want to cycle as normal.... but the nice thing is all you gotta do is hit the release.. or just replace mag/ or mag spring...
@@flintymcduff5417 I have no problem with 92 but I don't like safety, or ambi and they are clunky a little, but has the best feed ramp angle and may be the king of dependability and rugged as it gets, almost bought that newer stainless one, just stunning looks on the 92.
I just bought a gen 4 19. Using blazer brass about 50/150 came directly back at me. I switched over to winchester WB 115. I only had 3 come back at me. I did buy a glock that had the #30247 extracter factory new, which is the new one that fixed the issue in the first. place so my question is will the ejection issue fix itself as the gun breaks in or will i have to get on the horn with glock and play months of tag?
I’ve purchased a new ejector, barrel, stainless steel guide rod, and a backplate. I’ve had no issues with it being stock, I just wanted to customize it.
Thats all good but if you run into issues (which I doubt) don’t keep tinkering.. just go back to OEM!! (Assuming its your CC pistol) My Gen 4 F.S. is all stock from factory. I only added a grip plug lol probably will do a trigger undercut as well
Not the perfect handgun but a really good option in most cases. Falls a little short ergonomically from my experience but I'm still very happy with my G19. I don't think the perfect handgun exists but some are an excellent compromise like the G19.
They kinda have one for the .45. It's a. 45 GAP. I don't know the model number but I saw it on Tactical Riflemans channel. But you should look it up. Not .45 ACP but has the same amount of powder and projectile. Check out his Why this Green Beret chooses a Glock or something like that.
I live the g19. When we hit Iraq, we turned in out M9s and were immediately issued g19s. And when we left we turned in the g19s and were reissued the M9s. I guess we were the test unit for the g19??
Like I'm watching a gun video from 1988 lol Granted, I am a Glock fanboy, I have 9 different Glocks wih my primary carry being my modded Gen 4 G19 (stippled grip with no finger grooves, sights, ghost connector, etc). The G19 is certainly size efficient, amazing size for a 15+1. However, with that said, most modern handguns can do what I Glock can, in terms of durability, quality. Maybe not size wise but still, the M&P, CZ, Sig, HK, etc, etc are durable and quality, Glock's equal in many ways.
Az Trigger: Thank you for your video. I,ve got several Glocks, included Glock 19, Gen 3. This last one exploded in my hands. I,ve read and heard a lot about. Glock is a good pistol for military, but not for civilian and sport use. Us civilians, enjoy spending 400 rounds at the range. We cannot afford other that reloaded ammunition, and you well know that Glocks (particularly Glock 19)do not accept handloaded ammunition. I,ve got a kaboom with my Glock 19. I tested the same handloaded 9mm. ammunition in my Beretta 92, in my Browning Hi-Power and in my Sig. No problem at all with those last 9mm. pistols. That's a real handicap for sport use of Glocks.
Jorge Zunino Glocks are used all the time in competition. Glock even has its own sport shooting organization, GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation). Glocks are not indestructible. Anything made by Man WILL fail eventually.
EVERY gun needs cleaning and lube. My uncle had his Glock 23 at the range and his stop cycling properly. I opened it up and it was gone dry and dirty....Glocks aren't beyond the laws of physics
Very true, but the Glock pistol is the easiest to maintain, clean and use. I own all different manufacturers guns and for my safety and my family's safety I carry a Glock 26 or G19, Just my opinion not to hurt anyone feelings and whatever pistol you think is best, I'm sure it is for you. Enjoy your day.
Durhamite77 hickok45 on RUclips is the Glock master and he’s been shooting glocks and guns in general for years and says the manual says almost no lube . So when it comes to glocks his word counts more than gods word
@@clam741 no man's word is even near the word of God. The word says there is an eternal hell. You must be born again. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour and you will be saved from hell. Remember that Jesus Christ died for your sins, so you don't have to. And hickok45 doesn't know everything by the way lol.
I shoot the P226 better then my G19, but the G19 is my fave Glock, I Shoot my first gun I bought in Jan 2012 better then my G19 also, the G23 in .40 because it has TFOs night sights
Look how flat and slik the glock is. It is a Very comfortable gun to consil. I've consiled a lot of guns. And in a wast line or pocket most guns poke and prod you especially while driving but not a glock.
Special forces are U.S. Army Green Berets all other U.S. military are Special Operations Forces not Special Forces in the case of USMC it's Special Operations Capable MARSOC are attached to JSOC or Joint Special Operations Command.
Not a fanboy but a happy customer. I clean my G17 every 5000-7000 shots. Never had a problem. And I chose the G17 over the G18 because of my big hands. Other than that I would ha been happy with the G19 as well. My daughters is happy with her G26. Many parts are interchangeable...👍
No I would go with the G45 MOS it is a way better option and the 43 and 48 MOS may be even better if you get the after market larger magazines. The 19 is now outdated.
The 19 is ok but I like the 17 better but im not really a 9mm fan. I like my 20 and 21 much much better either the 17 or 19 same recoil, same reliability and more power
I love the fact that the glock is simple but I still think that the sig and other double action side arms have is that if you have bad ammo or a light strike you don't have to reset the trigger. That's probably the only reason why I would get a double action instead of a striker.
Ridiculousness if I have a cartridge fail on the first strike anywhere but the range I'm ejecting it I don't have time to waste trigger pulls when I'm about to die
@@shannonandsheila1403 and if you have consistent light strikes? Well buddy the problem is more than likely your gun. Personal experience with a friend who refused to clean his glock 19 and had consistent misfires. We thought it was bad ammo...... nope wasn't the ammo. I pulled apart his glock and found out that he had gunk built up inside the striker pin housing. No amount of ejection of ammo was going to fix that problem. Point is its all dependent on the situation and conditions. Anything can happen, guns are man made and faults happen all the time.

Owned a 19 Gen 2 since 1995.Never has jammed or needed to replace parts.
Neither will the Sig 226
Nice !
The GLOCK 19 is an amazing handgun if you can only own one. I've started carrying a G19 and absolutely love it!
EXACTLY. BULLS 👁
#metoo
4 minutes into the video, I realized these firearms were not mounted on the wall but or on a COSCO table. Boy, I'm a dumb dumb. Lol
SAME lmao
ja ja ja same here
Me too
Me as Well LOL
Sameee lmaooo
It’s important when cleaning your glock to kiss it and tell it you love it before you’re done.
I do this 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
She needs to feel loved
I have to touch her every day.. 😄😄
Lmao
EXACTLY BULLS 👁
I met a Norwegian soldier some years ago and he said the 19 was standard for their military and their 'navy seal' type units. It performs well in cold weather and those dudes swim with it.
Being a lefty I passed the glock 19 up until now just bought the gen5 glock19 and absolutely love it.

I believe mention should have been made about the smooth non cluttered sides of Glocks for comfort when carrying concealed.
Love My Glock 19 Gen 4
TheBull916 I'm pretty sure that's a magazine disconnect safety thing, I could be wrong though.
LOVE My Gen4!!
have g19 gen 4 too, but the new g48 is may new fav.
Joel Filoteo, my 19X is one of my favorite handguns & I have plenty.
Same. Do you have the flat black or a lighter slide?

A Wolff non-captured steel guide rod + 20lb spring will make a 40s&w Glock feel like a 9mm. It will reduce wear on the slide & frame as well.

The ONLY issue I've had with Glock, is the mag... and that's only when left loaded for a while, and it didn't want to cycle as normal.... but the nice thing is all you gotta do is hit the release.. or just replace mag/ or mag spring...
The 226 is easier to take down and can be done with gloves on or wet hands.
It, like the Beretta 92, takes down very easily.
@@flintymcduff5417 I have no problem with 92 but I don't like safety, or ambi and they are clunky a little, but has the best feed ramp angle and may be the king of dependability and rugged as it gets, almost bought that newer stainless one, just stunning looks on the 92.
I like being able to completely take apart and put back together my G19
I love my Glock 19 but also have an M&P gen 1 and that's been good the only thing I don't like about it is the trigger
I just bought a gen 4 19. Using blazer brass about 50/150 came directly back at me. I switched over to winchester WB 115. I only had 3 come back at me. I did buy a glock that had the #30247 extracter factory new, which is the new one that fixed the issue in the first. place so my question is will the ejection issue fix itself as the gun breaks in or will i have to get on the horn with glock and play months of tag?
Bassorb I does that every once in a while don't worry about it
They’re very easy to detail strip also. You can change slide release, triggers and connectors very easily. Love my 19. Great vid sir.
I’ve purchased a new ejector, barrel, stainless steel guide rod, and a backplate. I’ve had no issues with it being stock, I just wanted to customize it.
Thats all good but if you run into issues (which I doubt) don’t keep tinkering.. just go back to OEM!! (Assuming its your CC pistol)
My Gen 4 F.S. is all stock from factory. I only added a grip plug lol probably will do a trigger undercut as well
@@jaycamacho8179 will do brother, thanks!
Wasn't the 9mm originally shot out of a 4in barrel (p08 luger)?
I switched from a Sig 226 to a Glock 19 Gen 5. Fit my hand better and 9 ounces lighter.
I like G19 a lot. Glock needs a better grip angle and sights included on gun to make it "perfect" though.
No they dont
As far as grip issues go, you can use G17 magazines with XGRIPS. They are flush fit.
Glock 19 for casket and flower moves.
Classis series sigs are not difficult to field strip
Not the perfect handgun but a really good option in most cases. Falls a little short ergonomically from my experience but I'm still very happy with my G19. I don't think the perfect handgun exists but some are an excellent compromise like the G19.
An old saying in engineering is just good enough, is perfect. I think this is the Pistol example of that.
And then came the G19x. Perfect.
Need to make a 19 in .45acp or 10mm. And not not a 29 or a 30. I mean a slightly beefier 19 Frame and slide with those chamberings.
They kinda have one for the .45. It's a. 45 GAP. I don't know the model number but I saw it on Tactical Riflemans channel. But you should look it up. Not .45 ACP but has the same amount of powder and projectile. Check out his Why this Green Beret chooses a Glock or something like that.
Retweet. 10mm rise up
"" VIVA GLOCK "" NUMBER ONE. !!
Answer to the title is : Hell yes!
consider the 43x with 15 round flush mags
I live the g19. When we hit Iraq, we turned in out M9s and were immediately issued g19s. And when we left we turned in the g19s and were reissued the M9s. I guess we were the test unit for the g19??
I have what some call bear paws , a little under cut solved the grip problem!
Without a doubt the best combat pistol available.
I really like the size of the pistol.
That's another thing I like about the clock they're simple even my dog can take them apart. lol
Glock the standard bearer by which are all compared.
Yep. Glocks serve as the bottom feeders. Work your way up from there.
Was that ur washing machine at about 12:08?
Like I'm watching a gun video from 1988 lol Granted, I am a Glock fanboy, I have 9 different Glocks wih my primary carry being my modded Gen 4 G19 (stippled grip with no finger grooves, sights, ghost connector, etc). The G19 is certainly size efficient, amazing size for a 15+1. However, with that said, most modern handguns can do what I Glock can, in terms of durability, quality. Maybe not size wise but still, the M&P, CZ, Sig, HK, etc, etc are durable and quality, Glock's equal in many ways.
Az Trigger: Thank you for your video. I,ve got several Glocks, included Glock 19, Gen 3. This last one exploded in my hands.
I,ve read and heard a lot about. Glock is a good pistol for military, but not for civilian and sport use. Us civilians, enjoy spending 400 rounds at the range. We cannot afford other that reloaded ammunition, and you well know that Glocks (particularly Glock 19)do not accept handloaded ammunition. I,ve got a kaboom with my Glock 19. I tested the same handloaded 9mm. ammunition in my Beretta 92, in my Browning Hi-Power and in my Sig. No problem at all with those last 9mm. pistols. That's a real handicap for sport use of Glocks.
Jorge Zunino Glocks are used all the time in competition. Glock even has its own sport shooting organization, GSSF (Glock Sport Shooting Foundation). Glocks are not indestructible. Anything made by Man WILL fail eventually.
Jorge Zunino get a supported replacement barrel
@@emiliomartino7468 Thank you for your advice
You need a haircut and a real job
EVERY gun needs cleaning and lube. My uncle had his Glock 23 at the range and his stop cycling properly. I opened it up and it was gone dry and dirty....Glocks aren't beyond the laws of physics
Very true, but the Glock pistol is the easiest to maintain, clean and use. I own all different manufacturers guns and for my safety and my family's safety I carry a Glock 26 or G19, Just my opinion not to hurt anyone feelings and whatever pistol you think is best, I'm sure it is for you. Enjoy your day.
Durhamite77 hickok45 on RUclips is the Glock master and he’s been shooting glocks and guns in general for years and says the manual says almost no lube . So when it comes to glocks his word counts more than gods word
@@clam741 no man's word is even near the word of God. The word says there is an eternal hell. You must be born again. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour and you will be saved from hell. Remember that Jesus Christ died for your sins, so you don't have to.
And hickok45 doesn't know everything by the way lol.
Justin h I like hell better , all the cool people end up in hell . You can chill with the squares in heaven and play bingo
Hrsplit Hr so all the cool people like to be on fire? How long can you hold your hand over a flame? Is that something you like to do for fun?
I dual weild twin G23 gen3's. Rick Roll your enemies Tomb Raider style. 🇺🇸☠🇺🇸
Btw u can buy a g19 slide and a g38 slide and only thing youd have to change is extractor and trigger assembly
I shoot the P226 better then my G19, but the G19 is my fave Glock, I Shoot my first gun I bought in Jan 2012 better then my G19 also, the G23 in .40 because it has TFOs night sights
Tell me about the rubber grips on the 17 and 19. They look great...
ruclips.net/video/uPRc9Z5hkEA/видео.html
Look how flat and slik the glock is. It is a Very comfortable gun to consil. I've consiled a lot of guns. And in a wast line or pocket most guns poke and prod you especially while driving but not a glock.
Have a G19, love it. Easily as accurate as the 226 or 1911. However, it is NOT safer than the 226 and 1911.
Complete hogwash
The Glock 19 is reliable and easy to use. Thank you for this video.
Special forces are U.S. Army Green Berets all other U.S. military are Special Operations Forces not Special Forces in the case of USMC it's Special Operations Capable MARSOC are attached to JSOC or Joint Special Operations Command.
Just bought the 19 gen 5 3 days ago. Haven't shot it yet.
Have you shot it? How is it?
Bought Glock 19 Gen 3 2 days ago put 100 rounds through it with no problem
That awesome, still enjoying it ?
Gen 4 carry every day...none better!!!!
Gen 3 has the best trigger
Not a fanboy but a happy customer.
I clean my G17 every 5000-7000 shots. Never had a problem.
And I chose the G17 over the G18 because of my big hands. Other than that I would ha been happy with the G19 as well.
My daughters is happy with her G26. Many parts are interchangeable...👍
Must be a real chore for you to spend 10 minutes cleaning your pistol?
@@williamryan9195 do you wash your car after each drive?
@@HaraldHofer A dirty car isn't likely to cost me my life but it might carrying a neglected dirty weapon. Your choice.
@@HaraldHofer That said, I check my tires and fluids daily and do wash my vehicle at least once a week.
@@williamryan9195 ok, that explains everything.... 🤣
Big mits 17 is my girl.
the 19 is great for all these reasons, but the 17 is the ICON.
wrong...the 17 was so hated because of that horrible grip they had to make the 19..so just STFU
No I would go with the G45 MOS it is a way better option and the 43 and 48 MOS may be even better if you get the after market larger magazines. The 19 is now outdated.
Pretty soon, California is going to have 2 less hand gun on the roster !
Hollow points are forbidden in warfare
Who cares?
The 19 is ok but I like the 17 better but im not really a 9mm fan. I like my 20 and 21 much much better either the 17 or 19 same recoil, same reliability and more power
You can always put a longer barrel or magazine in the G19.
mix your ammos with JHP and FMJ and G19 is great for offense and defense.
What, besides target practice, would FMJ be good for?
I love the fact that the glock is simple but I still think that the sig and other double action side arms have is that if you have bad ammo or a light strike you don't have to reset the trigger. That's probably the only reason why I would get a double action instead of a striker.
you eject a bad round on either gun.....just STFU
Ridiculousness if I have a cartridge fail on the first strike anywhere but the range I'm ejecting it I don't have time to waste trigger pulls when I'm about to die
@@shannonandsheila1403 and if you have consistent light strikes? Well buddy the problem is more than likely your gun. Personal experience with a friend who refused to clean his glock 19 and had consistent misfires. We thought it was bad ammo...... nope wasn't the ammo. I pulled apart his glock and found out that he had gunk built up inside the striker pin housing. No amount of ejection of ammo was going to fix that problem. Point is its all dependent on the situation and conditions. Anything can happen, guns are man made and faults happen all the time.
@@stevechan5558 Throw the damn gun at them
The Glock 19 is the perfect handgun. I have my Gen 3 19 and it has the others hands down
