My Dad carried a 1911 in Vietnam, I carried one in a 25th Recondo platoon, then as an MP and instructor and armorer. When I got out and was a gun dealer for a while, I got a Gen 1 G17 right after Miami PD did their famous torture tests and loved it, but felt I was cheating on my Officers .45. My wife was actually mad when I sold it 10 years later. I Bought a G19 gen2 when they first came out, and my Dad immediately kiped it. I let him keep it and he wore the finish off it, then had my uncle (a GA State Police armorer) carried in to Glock and had them refurb it. A couple years ago after my parents were killed by a drunk driver I found the G19 in his "special spot" and it has become my usual EDC. I still don't like the look, but can't argue with the tight groups that always find their way out of the muzzle...Thanks for the info and your service Brother, enjoy the holidays with the loved ones.

When I was in the Army as a combat medic, we carried the 1911, then transitioned to the M9. Both good weapons but the biggest issue was lack of proper maintenance. I never saw a M9 get new springs (recoil, or trigger), while the 1911’s were just worn out.

All have about the same grip angle. I’ve tried glocks a few times and every time the grip angle/sight picture would be off. At this point I stick to what I know.

The "Glock hate" is deeply ingrained in those who have misconceptions and aesthetic requirements. Glock pistols have become the benchmark against which all other manufacturers are being measured. Glock has revolutionized the way pistols are built. Many manufacturers sell pistols that look and feel like a Glock but when it comes to reliability, combat worthiness and durability under extreme conditions, there is only one that makes the decisive difference...It's the Glock!

Thank you for sharing your information. I've carried a Glock 19 everyday since 1998 and I have always felt it was the perfect gun for me. My first Glock was a 26 and with the OEM +2 extensions it was a super nice carry gun, but I shot a friend's 19 and I just loved the feel so I switched, and I have not looked back.

I am fascinated by the in-depth details as to how the Glock 19 came into play in special forces! So much I did not know or consider back when I first heard the news.

I would’t consider myself a Glock fanboy, however, I was issued the Glock 19, and fell in love with it from the word go. It was much more ergonomically correct and comfortable for me than the M9. Its sites were spot on, and it just felt like an extension of my arm. I now EDC the Glock 19 in the civilian world, and feel well equipped.

Perfection is a stretch. It does not "need" upgrades and can effectively be ran stock but really shines with upgrades. An iron sight upgrade to steel sights however is almost a necessity so that one handed manipulation can be done without breaking the sights. I personally like the Glock 45, and add the tyrant designs extended mag release. It is only extended enough just to ensure not having to break your grip to reload and has an aggressive Chevron texture and has chamfered edges on the catch so the aluminum doesn't Marr the mags. I also add overwatch OG DAT trigger and magwell. I also feel a light is a must have, I prefer either the streamlight TLR1-HL or surefire x300. None of these are 100% necessary, but make it way better. reliability is top notch and have no qualms trusting my life or the lives of my family with it. Also extremely easy to diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair armorer level work with spare parts being cheap and easily accessible to keep on hand. Fantastic platform

I would love to give the G19 another try some point. When I was still in the USMC back in the early '90s, I bought a then new Gen 2 from the base MCX. Unfortunately, it was a complete lemon. Couldn't go through one box of 50ct military ball without 2-3 stoppages. After 3 trips back to the factory, I finally gave up on it and traded it in for something else. Was not an ammo or mag issue as I had no problems with my friend's G19 which he bought at about the same time and from the same MCX. On top of that, I also bought a G23 at about the same time and that gun was absolutely reliable. Just the luck of the draw I guess.

I have owned a Glock 23 for several years (a police trade-in) and find it completely reliable, comfortable to carry concealed but less comfortable to shoot; and it only holds 13 rounds. I have just ordered the Gen 5 G19 and it will likely be my carry gun from here on out. Thanks for this video and for your service!

Great to see that buraucracy in procurement is not the sole purview of the Canadian Army. The hoops we have to jump thorugh to get stuff is amazing. Only when I went to the Canadian Rangers did it change for the better (and I mean MUCH better), because no one knew what thehell we did so they just authorized things to make us go away (which I could live with!). I have a Glock 19 as a personal firearm and it is a joy to shoot. matches well with my Ruger PC carbine, too! At the end of the day, it is a secondary weapon. If I have to fight with a pistol, something has gone wrong (either mildly or seriously). The rifle/carbine will always be the primary weapon.

I work in Security and picked up a Glock 19 at about the same time as SF did. The reasons were the same as that of SF. I also have a Gen5 34 set up with Trijicon rmr on it. Works great and does everything I need it to do. That is all that counts.

I’ll take your answering I’ll add mine, the Glock 19 is a far superior and most important simpler platform than the sigsauer 320 for example, I have a special custom Glock 19, and it is one of my go to firearms along with my 365 XL, and my Glock 26, all in 9 mm of course, simply because that is the most readily available ammunition along with 22 caliber and .223/5.56, I have several other firearms in 10 mm and 45 ACP, it’s just that the 19, is the most convenient all-around pistol and I follow that old adage, “keep it simple stupid”, and the Glock is simple & dependable

As a 28yr Army leg infantry guy, I had a lot of worn out 1911s, then the same for the M9. The first gun I got after retiring? A G19. It has been fine. It does work. I do appreciate the ammo count. Glocks are loved, hated, and once in a while someone is indifferent. Now, I still plink with my personal 1911s. Love that gun.

I retired from a certain aviation group that supported y'all with a few other door kicker's. After a few downed aircraft misshapes and the customers were carrying G-19's and we had the M-9's long story short we started carrying G-19's.

I would like to see ODA teams get 19X’s in the future, send them to crane to get milled or have glock sell the Army the 19X milled for a RMR

Interestingly, for those missions requiring concealed carry, we were issued the G26 Gen 3. In fact, when I was sent away for PMT for that specific mission set (just a handful of us), that's when I first really used the G26 (I know, I know, "case of beer") and we trained heavily on it.

I just found you.. I subscribed.. Very interesting.. Thank you for this info.. Very interesting..

Can't go wrong with the Glock 45. Also you mentioned Grip Force, they make some very good iron sights as well. I love the hard line type and its as good as a Red Dot if you ask me and I'm a Red Dot fan. But for concealability the Glock 45 MOS with a DPP is just not as good for CCW as a Glock 45 with hi vis irons.

Interesting video, I agree with the gen 5 upgrades for special forces

As much as I love the gen3, the gen 5…the latest iteration, is by far the most reliable Glock ever made.

for my rig and my EDC I carry the glock 19x. love that sidearm. it's perfect

Thank you for this very informative vidéo... and thank you for your service..

I was in Iraq in 05/06 doing, among other more interesting duties, FID training. I had 40 Gen 3 G19s turned over to me to issue the Jundis for training while we still had the Sig P226 and P229. I carry an enhanced Gen 4 G19 and couldn't be happier.

Nothing wrong with the BEST wonder 9s you carried in those years.

Great information and thanks for the sacrifices you made to protect America 🇺🇸

I agree %100 about the Glock 45. I don't have one but my son does. Awesome.

We must have crossed paths at range 37, I got my instructor time at SOTIC as it transition to SFSC '05-'08. Glock got to the the 37 armory around early '06 late '05. The CIF already had them, at least 7th SFG did.

a lot of Californians are keeping the aftermarket options for gen 3 features alive as well

Because it's all we can get lol!!! After all the research I feel like the Gen 3 was the best one tho...the gun roster is bullshit btw.

Can't wait to move to Arizona, the state with the best gun laws in the country, according to the NRA. Of course, most any state would be an improvement over CA lol

Me subscriber to your channel very cool stuff. Love the Glock 19. We carry the generation 4 in our house.

Fantastic info! Finally got my 1 st Glock, a Gen 3 mod. 19. Researched as much as a Senior Citizen could but this video says it all. Sp. Thx to " Gunslinger" Connelsville, PA for making it possible ! Stay Safe...

Awesome video, cheers!

In the Army MP Corps we got the Glock 19 as well as the Sig 226 for investigators and agents. I believe they were designated as M10s and M11s.

I agree with the G45. Many police agencies have gone with it. It is a daily carry for me as well.

I run a full size Gen 5 Glock 17 RMR. I decided against the Glock 45 because I always run a Surefire X300U-A, and the light determines the overall length of the gun, not the barrel. I’m not gaining anything by going with a Glock 45, once the X300 is taken into consideration.

Thank you. Very informative.

Enjoyed the insight. As an Army vet that makes perfect sense. It prolly is crazy to a lot of civilians but vets know well how red tape works, Lol Regardless as a combat pistol the Glock is hard to beat. I have five and have my eyes on a sixth. I was leaning toward another gen 4 but I think you talked me into a gen 5.

GEN 5 G19 MOS will print 6 inches at 50 yards with ease. That’s with the crappy factory trigger and an HS 507c. I’ve got a bunch of handguns but I always seem to come back to the G19.
