am I the only one who thinks the glock 17 looks nice since its so simple.
Steve. B Glocks are not pretty guns. Only XDM's and 1911's...
Mac W I think they look alright
Steve. B No. I love the looks also.
Steve. B I have a couple of gen2s and gen3s...2 each, all G17s. It's all i need...
My cleaning tip: i use a wooden chopstick or dowel to push a cleaning patch through the barrel.
I freak out about possibly nicking the inside.
Steve. B one guy said that it looks like a water gun.
I think Glock pistol is the best example of how simplicity and awesomeness go hand in hand.
lol glock actually has a relatively complicated firing mechanism. look it up
@@andytom91 safe action might be a bit complicated, but it really pays off
I really dont understand why so many people hate the looks of Glock pistols. I think the glock 17 is the best looking pistol to ever exist. Simple, yet still badass.
Zevinox Then you must like ugly women... Glocks are hideous. If you want a pretty gun get an XDM or 1911.
Zevinox not just that but they're also reliable.
That's what we Austrians/Germans do. Simple, yet effective design :)
Draves are you Austrian or German?
my exact thoughts.. love this pistol
As a ex military and a sharp shooter ,You Sir have my respect for shooting like a pro and being modest about it.Great trigger manipulation and recoil control.
Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
This guy is the American dream
Who doesn't?
He’s American Dream!!!😄🤠🐎🔫🔫🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know nothing about America if you think guns represent America at its pinnacle.
No, you're probably just a liberal, 21.
get off his jock
I carried one for over 15 year as a street cop....Best gun ever made in my opinion!
I agree
philippines buy 78 thousand pcs
Oink
9mm ammo.has a tendency to drill upon impact of say - a hind qtr. of beef , or the torso of a pedifile in flight from a cop - without doing much tissue damage as compared to a .45 cal. cartridge for example. you will tear that meat up a lot better if you'll go ahead and spend that extra money on some hollow point ammo. for the G-17 - in my humble opinion. Happy shootin' y'all!!!

@@stevealvarez1707 the comment is 4 years old and you're still thinking "lOl PoLicE pIg"
My old man was my go to for all gun advice for 38 awesome years, but he died last month. He left me with approx 40 different firearms. Some were gifts through the years the others I inherited. I was never raised around the polymers but have fallen in love with a few of them latley. Simplicity is stylish to me, more accurate than I am and very practical. Oh thats right, I was commenting to say that I really enjoy listening to Hickock talk.
I m sorry for yr loss hope u r doing well, I lost my mother this summer, it hurts. Kisses from Greece
Sometimes, I think he misses a shot or two on purpose to make the rest of us feel better.
Most def
I agree with you. In his mind, he's saying, "These shots are for you, home view, who can't hit the broad side of a barn."
💯
Looool
Factual
Hickok, Just bought my first Glock based on lots of research concluding with this video. Bought a brand new Gen4 17, lubed it how you recommend, and just returned from the first outing. Absolutely could not be happier. 0 malfunctions, unbelievable out of box accuracy. I shoot this better than a beretta 92A1. Im a officially a Glock fan. Thanks for the great vid
I still own my glock 17 gen 1. Bought it in 92. I carried it as an LEO but now it lives in the safe. I'll keep it until the day I'm no longer on this earth.
it's been 4 years, do you still have it? i hope so
I'am little bit proud of my country
Austria
its sad you austrians cant actually own these...other than that Austria is a lovely country
We can own them w a permit, carrying is difficult, though. This one is used by the police, apart from the Steyr Aug for special units.
Alex Schmid home of the glocks
Alex Schmid just found out glock is actually Austrian. never saw anything saying where its from. seeing how its used by so many Russians I figured that. gave it props for that. found out its Austrian. and now I just want more.
cbreef it doesn’t matter if your country bans guns, bad guys will still get them, and kill with them
That shooting range is so beautiful!
Lots_Of_Random_Clips believe it or not, that's his yard
Lots_Of_Random_Clips okay
How can people complain about another Glock video? This is Hickok45. The occasional Glock video should be expected. Actually, I think it's been a while. Good to see the G17 join the ranks.
Ever notice how glock haters complaints never involve the function of the gun, just the way it looks or feels. They can't say it doesn't work. I'm with you hikok ,
Yep. There are exceptions, of course, because no gun is perfect, but anybody who has a serious problem with the Glock usually bases it on looks or feels in their hands. OR, they have a serious problem with limp wristing and blame it on the firearm. I think that happens sometimes and not just with Glocks.
hickok45 I'm a Sig guy and own the Sig p226 40 and sp2022 9mm. I shot a Glock 21 45acp, and loved it. Held the Glock 17 Gen4 and Glock 19 Gen4 and no issues. Felt like a glove. I'm 6'2 248 and have huge hands. I love Glock too as well as Sig and Beretta but a Glock 17 Gen4 will do it for me as a CCW brother.
I don't hate Glocks I just hate the guys that act like they're the greatest firearm ever made
Richard Canaan what is the greatest firearm ever made?

The sound of the glock 17 firing is so satisfying👍🏻👍🏻
Glock 17 is my favorite pistol.
My first hand gun I ever owned, I love my glock 17
Mark C the best hand gun.
Just some info I’ve acquired during Glock Armorer Training and use of my own Glock 17 Gen 4.
• They now fire each gun 7 times and should include 2 of the shells in an envelope with the gun
• They use Blazer AL in most of the common calibers.
• The copper lube they use on the guns from the factory is no longer necessary and they stopped doing it for a while. There was one guy at the factory responsible for this. After they stopped, they got complaints and they stated applying it again. I think it had something to do with the change in finish from the Tennifer process to the Nitration process they use now.
• They don’t recommend using nitrate based solvents, as it can discolor the Nitration finish. It can be fixed by merely rubbing in some gun oil. Otherwise they say you can use any lube or cleaner specified for gun use.
• They do recommend that you field strip, clean and lube a brand new gun. They tell you not to take the copper off, but since it really isn’t required anymore, then it should hurt anything.
• The only place you shouldn’t lube a Glock is inside the magazine and in the firing pin channel.
• Out of my multitude of firearms, I have only 3 that have performed flawlessly, my G17, AK-47 and my S&W Model 66 and all with over a 1000 rounds or more through them. I have a pretty good AR, but I have had a few type II failures in the 1000 rounds I’ve shot through it.
• I’ve taken apart almost every firearm I own and the Glock is by far the easiest and simplest firearm to field and detail strip and reassemble.
One more thing, I don’t think people appreciate how good a shot you are. You make it look easy, but I know that what you make look so easy, is really hard for most people. Myself included.
I have learned so much from your talks and You have talked me into a 19 Glock for my updates in my over 25 year old collection! Thank you so very much!
Glocks are sexy not ugly
destroyall24 a glock looks like a minecraft gun
Right
Glock 23 is top 5 glocks for me too short? It’s like a 19 but a 40 it’s beautiful
Rdam Zuid, that’s what makes it great
It’s the same reason why I like the SCAR and it’s variants. Squared off look, and simple.
God, you're such a good marksman....
+Bones98 I wasted thousands of rounds of ammo just punching holes in paper. get a buddy who's good or pick up some tips here and there. it also helps when your trying to use the same ammo brand and grain.
+nick worrell and some people just have a nack for it. Some ppl are just born with it.
+Dust Lack I can agree with you on that brother but for me I wasted lots of money on ammo before I learned to cut out some bad habbits. hell some guns I still have trouble with my sig p229 pisses me off because I have trouble with any 40 cal handgun . if I have a long riffle or a glock 19 or 17 I'm hell on wheels.
+Brotmeister Wish I could buy marksmanship...I've literally got tens of thousands of rounds practice and my groupings are WAY worse! Yes, Hickock has practiced a lot, but he adds it to natural ability. I've got practice, but score low on the natural ability part.
+nick worrell Get yourself a hk usp 40 cal
I bought my first Glock in 1986. I still use it today and it has also been my duty carry weapon. Works great!!
Hey Hickok, I'm up in Canada. I love your videos and have just purchased my first Glock. A Glock 17 gen 4. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all of your wisdom and experience. I appreciate all of your comments. The positive and negative ones.
Wish we had a Canadian version of him up here. That's ok. My fellow shooters in Canada have made Hickok 45 and honorary Canadian. Come up anytime. 🇨🇦
I have been watching his videos since he started, and I just barely realized something...the enjoyable report of the weapon is largely due to the range, the trees, everything that sends the sound back and creates that lasting echo.
A great in depth report. I was undecided about weather to get a 17 or 19, I believe the 17 is for me. Thanks for helping me out. I love how you just have so much fun during your videos!
When I first saw a Glock pistol that a friend of mine bought when they first came out compared to a let's say Smith and Wesson 9mm. Or Colt , I thought the Glock looked like a Station Wagon compared to a Corvette! But over the years the look of the Glock 17 Gen 4 to me is a comparison to a Land Rover or a Military Hummer! The reason for that is because compared to "ALL" other gun's, a Glock will save your ass long after like you say a zombie apocalypse scenario is over and the other brands are being recycled into engine blocks! And I quote " They Just Shoot " And keep shooting and shooting and shooting!!! So needless to say, I think their a piece of engineering excellence. That's all I have to say about that.
dude, you really love that piece! the expression of joy on your face right after shooting it, is indescribable!,,, great one bro, keep shooting more of these videos, you really make us happy to watch you shooting all those nice and beautiful guns! :)
The simplicity of the Glock 17 and the boxy nice comfortable feeling of it makes it one of my FAVORITE looking guns!
Freaking love my gen 4 glock 17. Personal carry and doing security work with it. Over 1500 rounds and still works like a champ
Glock so simple, so efficient, so reliable, looks so nice and tactical, ready to go when you need it. Most trusted gun in the world.
Honestly, Hickok. I am enjoying all your videos as they come, and when they stop (for whatever reason) you WILL be remembered fondly. Stay safe out there everyone! and much love! Greetings from Phoenix.
I remember the first time I fired a Glock. Ten years old, I never even heard of a semi automatic pistol. All I known was rifles, shotguns and revolvers. My Uncle. A Marine. Opened my eyes to a new world of firearms.
Probably my favorite video of yours... watched it a couple times and just really enjoy your enthusiasm for the 17 ! I ordered mine and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.
"Is it real time? I think it's kinda real.." HAAHA I love Hickok's humor
OG’S Say That Hickok45 is The GOAT RUclips Channel that loves reviewing and testing out firearms
Just bought my first gun and I chose the G17. I'm so excited for my waiting period to be over!
ik this was 4 years ago, but how's it been?
hickok's video made me choose my glock21 gen4, love it and love this channel!
I live in England and of course we are not allowed guns and I know bugger all about them but your videos are filled with information and I find it very interesting.
We are allowed guns, just there’s a process!
I bought one of these for the first time last week and I gotta say the hype these guns get is legit I was nailing about 90% of my shots during my first 50 rounds not trying to brag but get this gun you won't regret it best 500 I ever spent
This dude is one of the best marksman with a channel. Whenever I go to buy a new gun I check out Hickok45 and his opinion! Subbed!
The glock 17 should be the official side arm of the us military.
+jeremy beverly I agree. Im not a huge fan of the beretta
it is about to be they will start carrying the 17
UDF_T.V. UglyMedia Im in the Army and I havent heard anything about that. I know Ranger Battalion has some
+jeremy beverly British armed forces are adopting the Glock 17 as it's official side arm. I have a feeling the US will stick with Beretta for a white yet.
I know the British army do
I love the knowledge you are giving on this 17. Definitely like how your teaching us and showing us at the same time while having fun
how this man sends rounds so precisely down range is insane
I’m impressed with the 9mm knocking over those rams at that distance. I have a Glock in 9, 40 and 45. May start carrying the 9.
its about time !!! I've been watching since your very first video, though I haven't watched all of your vids, (near impossible) I must say its GOOD to see a Glock video from you again.... !!! keep on keeping on...
Great to stumble on this video. I was lucky enough to decide on a Glock 17 Gen 4 for my first pistol a little over 18 months ago. I chose Glock mainly because of their reputation for reliability and ease of breakdown and maintenance, being a novice and all. I say lucky because none of the gun shops in my area offered guns for rent before making a purchase decision.
It's been a great treat to shoot. Out of the box I was able to put ammo downrange on center mass anywhere from 15' to 50 yds. One other Glock I've had the pleasure to shoot recently was the new G41 .45ACP. On a recent trip to Florida to visit a friend we decided to take a trip to a local indoor range that offered free rentals with an hr of paid range time & 100 rounds. The G41 has a dual stage recoil spring that does a great job managing kick and letting you get back on target quickly. Honestly, I think it hardly kicks more than my G17 9mm!
As with my 17, I found I was able to put lead on paper/center mass from shot one. I hope to add the G41 to my collection soon. I'd like to see your review of the 41, if you haven't already done so.

Your the man Hickok your such a humble dude and your so full of knowledge and experience thank you for all you do for us… happy holidays 🌲🎉🥳🎊🗽
"quick clean the glocks! hickock45 is coming" said hickock45s local gun shop owner.
This guy is really living the life man
I can’t thank you enough for this video! You are perfect in your presentation from the unboxing/cleaning to the end of video. Loved the history lesson on Glock. I’m thinking about buying a handgun (after 30 + years of a gun free household) for personal/home protection and have been doing some research on the best tools for that. Glock name and Glock 17 comes up in every article. I think you nailed it down for me! Thanks a million!
For the money, it’s the best gun you can get. There are better out there like Kimber, but those cost an arm and a leg where you can get a GOOD pistol like a glock for around $500 and keep it for life.
I have this gun and love it. Smooth, easy to use
This is like the fatherly advice i never got growing up lol
My first gun - the Glock 17 Gen4. Love it!!!!!!!
Gen 4 G17 is my EDC. Love it.
As a British Infantry soldier I was lucky enough to get on a 8 day shooting course with the Police Tactical Firearms Unit based in Maidstone, Kent. Such a excellent weapon and I am very envious of those who can own and shoot one of these when they wish.
Just bought my first Glock 17 because of this video. Great work explaining everything Hickok!
I love my Glock 17 good video.
Its my favorite glock model
What a GREAT video, prob best of all Ive seen from you Hickok45! Thank you! Picking up a 17 tomorrow!
They showed some of your videos in my pistol permit class. Shows how well you know your stuff!
thanks so much :) now i know how to clean My glock 17
Shoot my toy with it plz I’m a weird person
What am I doing with my life
damn those were some sick shooting!...respect!
This guy is all American .... respect from Poland. I have uncle in Usa, Chicago; like these video
Gonna get the Gen 3, like the grips better. Awesome weapon, the 17 started it all. Excellent video Mr. Hickok45😀
Is the 17 legal...how long till it turns 18?
To be safe get a 19
2 17s make 34, right?
In this case 18 is illegal. ;-)
I dont know but my dad has a 40 cal pistol its a good gun
Ba dum tss
"Lets calm down here. Lets shoot that chicken." Classic
For the past 8 years,, I wont buy a gun until hick does a review on it..
Anthony Jarrell You and me both brother
I love how he always clears them, like 24/7. Definitely sets a really good example of how to treat a firearm. And how he keeps the muzzle downrange always. I try and do follow his example when I’m shooting. I’m always alone when shooting but I still behave as though there’s a bunch of people near me, and keep it pointed in a safe place.
I remember in the 80's seeing this gun for the first time and saying to the the guy behind the counter that I would never own a tupperware gun . Man did I eat those words . I bought a Gen 2 Glock 17 in the early 90's and never looked back. I love good revolvers and 1911's I would put this Glock 17 up against any gun made. Haters can Hate but I still love my Glock Especially my 17.
I've finally been converted. I couldn't resist the Glock 17 Gen 4.
Another great review sir! I just ordered one today. My first Glock, probably the first of many. I ordered a 4th mag, wish I would have seen that extended magazine first. Now I'm on the hunt for some lol.
Never a bad or dull video. Thanks Hickok45
"Zombie apocalypse tomorrow " The good one :)
25:50 That’s some good shooting, satisfying to watch 🔫 i recommend this weapon
I have 3 glocks but my original 17 will always hold a special place in my heart. (48 is my new fav tho)
"Zombie apocalypse could start tomorrow" - don't worry 2014 Hickok you still have 5 years 😂
Love your videos. Full of info and even a laugh every now and then. It would truly be an honor to shoot with you sometime.
I've been shooting a Glock 17 most of my adult life. It has always been rock solid and reliable for me. I have only had a couple of feed issues, which was actually caused by bad ammo.
The ammo was old and not stored well. Some of it was sunk in to the casing. Some of it was tarnished and looked like shit. It was easily over a decade old and a few of the rounds just didn't have the kick to fully cycle the slide. Besides that, which was one time at a range and maybe 3 rounds, I've never had a problem with a Glock. (I own 3 of them at the moment.)
Exactly the same testament I have with mine. Three glocks for me as well, 17, 21, and 42. I love all three of them. Well my ammo wasn’t 10 years old, but it was low quality bulk ammo and just didn’t have enough pop to fully cycle the slide in 3/300 rounds but other than that no issues. My 21 has never given me a problem, and same with my 42.
The thing I love about Glock handguns is they are designed to FUNCTION. They aren’t there to win a beauty contest…they are there to WORK.
When I got my G17, I fully cleaned it before shooting it. That copper lubricant looks almost identical to copper anti-seize compound. It’ll lubricate the gun, but it isn’t a dedicated gun oil or grease (I use a combination of Hoppes oil on mine with MPRO7 gun grease on the slide rails).
I have a Gen 3, have about 3K through it with no issues. When I clean it, I use an ultrasonic cleaner, so it still looks like new.
Great video as usual and it is a perfect design!
Do a Glock 17 vs Glock 17. Especially, on how it compares to the Glock 17.
17:55 It was the same with the AK. People said it was and ugly gun, and it looked very clunky, but when they started using it on the battlefield, it was a different story.
Picking up my G17 gen 4 tomorrow! Really excited! Your video made me choose this over the 19 :)
Just got this gun as my first and I'm in love with how clean it is.
Would love to see you shoot a G17 Gen1. They are my favorite out of all the G17s.
Such a nice side arm. Such an iconic shape. Great video :)
Absolutely my preferred Glock for Home-protection,..the weight and longer barrel makes it super accurate and with weekly practice you have a buddy which NEVER will let you down !
Bought a g17 gen 5. The feel, the recoil, the 30 rd mag (my preference) it all comes together to beautifully
Even doe this a old video I love every single one of them 💯🇺🇸
Great video! I love the Glock 17. I only wish we could own them in the UK as easily as in the USA
Chuck Norris fears only one man. That man is Hickok45.
I love this guy,,, he doesn't fyck around,,, knows his way around artillery and ammo,. Got a new sub here,,that Glock is sweet.
nothing better than a glock 17 or 19.
Fifty8 P I agree ☝️ my brother cheers
Glock 34
Except a Springfeild XD.... or a Sig P320.... or a CZ P10c...... or......
I have a 17, but I also got a 21 so I could have my own 45. I already have a 1911 but those only hold 7+1, my 21 holds 13+1 lol. Love my glocks.
Just purchased a G17 this weekend, thanks for the review
Thanks for sharing ! Love tour Channel! Been subscribed for years!
I was a street cop for 109 years and its by far the best choice for me
This video was perfection! Here's another THUMBS UP!!!
7:30 - 8:15 is when I realized that you're Bob Ross of Glocks
That's so funny! I thought the same thing.
This guy is the bob ross of Guns!
wow! im amazed by that long range shooting accuracy.
