We always shoot together and shoot the same ammo. We have used several brands of ammo. My glock 19 gen 4 misfires most often on the first round the most critical and then two ore three times through the emptying of the magazine. I use the three magazines that came with the gun. I contacted Glock by fax but received no reply.
When we train we assume the ready position and draw and fire at targets and feel good about ourselves. Your dominate hand is useless and the pain is becoming a factor. Can you still flip the thumb safety and squeeze the grip safety with your weak hand? Magazine safeties? In the real world targets shoot back or first whether your hands are full of shopping bags or your cell phone or whatever.
Do dry fire drills while simulating the loss of your dominate hand, eye, arm, even the ability to stand. Once you can do all those things well, then practice malfunction drills the same way as your weak hand may cause stove-pipe jams using dummies of course and see how effective you are.
Thank you. I own a Glock My Daughter age 20 prefers the 19 and my wife and I both like the 23 better than the The is a little bulky for us to carry around concealed. I understand that the it is a 45, but at close range the difference between the two in the knock down power is not going to make a difference to the person getting hit by it.
This may not be a problem for some, but it is for others. It also depends on how it is being carried. I can place more rounds down range and on target a lot faster and more accurate using the lock 40 and the I changed out the trigger pull for the Glock 23 to a 3. I have not had any accidental discharges since doint this. With either of the Glocks, using the stock trigger pull is the best thing to do when carrying concealed. Finding the safety release on the however, can cause some problems in a stress situation, almost like trying to find the magazine release buttom on the side of the Glock.
If you have large hands — no problems — if you do not you have large hands you may have to turn it sideways in order to reach it, which is why I placed an extension on mine.
I bought a Glock 19 within the first 3 months of it coming out. I still carry it everyday today, as of today. Every two weeks I send rounds down range to stay sharp. That pistol has the same safety on it that my Glock does.
Training, training, training. I have owned a Glock 19 Gen 3 for nearly 10 years. I have run over 90, rounds through it flawlessly. I modified it with a 3. I have never had an premature discharge and carry the gun in holsters which completely cover the trigger guard. Feel free to gasp. If anyone violates the basic firearm safety rules, will definitely get the ultimate results you mention.
I will admit I am not a Glock fan. I have fired several and they are okay with me. I would not hesitate to carry one or put my life on the line with one. It may be telling one they have some restrictive firearm control laws.
You can lay ANY firearm down and someone can do something stupid. As for holsters, I will not comment since I do not carry a Glock.
I have a Glock Gen 3 model I was inspired by James Yeager of Tactical Response to purchase one. I have loved it ever since the day I bought it. Thanks for reading. There IS a difference. The Glock design is no more dangerous than any other pistol. A manual safety is not a cure for a negligent discharge. Indeed, the absence of a manual safety makes the Glock a more effective defensive pistol for obvious reasons. Glocks can be carried safely in any good leather holster.
Kydex is not mandatory. Unless you consider the trigger guard another safety, which it is. Likewise, you will find Glock worship aplenty. Ignore the hype from both sides, put one in your hands, shoot it until you form a solid decision of your own. The best gun safety is between your ears.
Learn, practice, train. Doing this will greatly increase the safety of any handgun. A guarantee? Nope, but much more effective than a little lever on the side of the gun. I recently sold my Glock, but I have to agree that they are definitely reliable. I was puzzled by the lack of manual safety, but I never felt unsafe handling this weapon.
I own both a Glock 17 Gen 4 9mm and a Glock 22 Gen 4. I have read stories about people shooting themselves in the foot with a Glock because of the lack of a manual safety, and I find it curious that you never hear stories about people shooting themselves in the foot with a Sig P or a Ruger LC9, both of which are DA only.
What do I mean? Simple, locked and loaded, finger goes to trigger and boom, especially in a stress situation. I predict it is a matter of time before Glock gets sued. Example: Several Youtube videos show shootings with Glocks; the subway shooting in Oakland and the deputy covering a suspect already on the ground. Yes, they disobeyed a basic safety rule of do not put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot, but when is that, especially in a stress situation? Then you have some armorers out there who do trigger jobs and reduce the trigger pull.
Yeah, shoots great, but it also makes it just that more likely to pop one off unintentionally. No thanks, I would rather carry a or another weapon in a double action mode than go to re-holster my Glock and have the trigger get hung up on the edge of it and shoot myself in the groin like a man did sitting in his car in a Wal Mart parking lot….
My first pistol was a used Glock 19 Gen 2. It is still a favorite. Never had a misfire. Also never a misfire. Best pistol in my closet!!!
I have mixed emotions about the Glock. I do carry one because of its light weight and its single action trigger pull. It has no manual safety and one accidental snag or brush of the trigger will fire it off. Many people have accidently shot themselves and others without meaning to including many police officers. Managing recoil was no issue whatsoever. While the Glock 19X is a great full-size handgun, it would certainly be considerably difficult for some concealed carry permit holders to fully conceal.
Its full-size grip, thick slide and thick frame make for a more difficult carrying experience. Regardless of concealability, the Glock 19X is a game-changing firearm with many different applications that are suitable for all levels of shooters and shooting purposes.
In accompaniment to Carolina Sporting Arms detailed explanation of the new Glock 19X, there are several highly credible Glock 19X review pieces from notable firearms experts on YouTube and other media outlets that provide a visual representation on how this new Glock model operates and how it differs from previous generations of Glock pistols. If you are unfamiliar with the Glock 19X but would like to learn more than what we have included in your Glock 19x review , we highly encourage you to come out to our state of the art shooting range at Carolina Sporting Arms.
For the entire month of June, there will be no rental fee for the 19X at our range. Glock is the most issued service pistol of the modern-day, which is massively impressive for a company founded to make curtain rods.
Gaston Glock had no experience making guns but he did have experience in polymer manufacturing. He gathered together top European handgun experts, prototyped the Glock 17 in and the rest is glorious Austrian history. Glock pistols are polymer-framed, semi-automatic, short-recoil operated, locked-breech, striker-fired handguns.
Well, most of them are - the rimfire G44 is a blowback-operated pistol and is the only gun to break the mold. Glock pistols come in tons of different calibers and in a variety of different sizes. The G17 was the first model produced and was designed to fill a need within the Austrian Army.
The Austrian Army needed a safe, lightweight, high-capacity, and reliable semi-auto pistol and Glock filled that need. Glock has a simple way to name their pistols. Every model is assigned a number after the letter G, which predictably stands for Glock. The numbers are assigned to designs as they are started, not in the order in which they are released. So while the G20 and 21 began development before the 22 and 23, the 22 and 23 were released first.
The G17 hit the streets at a time where manual safety devices on handguns were the norm. Glock refers to their pistols as the Glock Safe Action Pistol referencing the three built-in independent safety devices.
The trigger safety is that famous little doohickey that sits in the middle of the trigger. Your finger presses the trigger safety as you pull the trigger so without activating the trigger safety, the trigger cannot be pulled. The firing pin safety blocks the firing pin from moving forward when the striker is cocked.
As the trigger is pulled, the trigger bar pushes the firing pin safety up and out of the way. If you release the trigger before firing, the firing pin safety automatically falls back into place. The drop safety is a device that does exactly what you think. If you drop the gun it ensures it cannot fire. As you pull the trigger the trigger bar lowers down the safety ramp and allows the firing pin to release. Glock is currently in its fifth generation. New generations arrive as Glock makes changes, both external and internal.
There's no timeline on when Glock generations end or begin, they're improved upon as need be. Often new and older Glock generations are produced side by side.
