Glock Model 49 Gun Review : G19 Long Slide?

the Glock model 49 let's check it out [Music] [Music] [Music] Glock introduced their model 19x and it was to compete in the US military modular handgun trials while it passed the test the Sig P320 was chosen as the m17 this has a full length grip of your Glock 17 with the shorter slide of your Glock 19 honestly it is one of the best shooting Glocks out there but a lot of people complain PL because they wanted that long slide with a short grip to make it more concealable so Glock introduced the model 49 and this is a short grip with a long slide again this is the hardest part to conceal on your firearm and yet you get that longer sight radius you get a little bit more ballistic capability with that longer slide so we're going to check out the model 49 we're going to test it next to the g19x or g45 and also the model 17 and 19 just to see how different they shoot we want to give a big thank you to Tallow and lipy Distributors uh they're the ones that sent the model 49 for this [Applause] review guys we have the Glock model 49 this is a 9mm strier fire pistol it's made by glock it is in the Gen 5 configuration but I have had more people in the comments to request this design short grip long slide in fact a number of companies have come out with the short grip long slide uh and there's a different reasons one of the biggest reasons though is for those who can seal carry this the grip is the hardest part to conceal and then you have more sight radius you have a little more mass on the top and it just actually adds to softer shooting especially for those with smaller hands if you have a Glock 19 19 uh it really fits in your hand well the Glock 17 it hangs down a little bit and so if you have bigger hands you're going to want that but before we get started let's go a and drop our magazine we have 15 plus one you get three with a pistol and then the chamber's empty now before we really get started I'm going to talk about Tallow distribution and Tallow has a group of Distributors including Lipsy rsr Davidson I mean there's a number of different really big Distributors that tall represents they are bringing Glock exclusives to the market this is not something that Glock would have made on their own but with Tallow they make a commitment because they believe that customers want this handgun and they're willing to bet on it and so they produce a limited number of these and to see how things go uh they did that with the model 28 which is the 380 version the sub compact and they did it with the 25 but one of the big ones is the Glock model 17 Gen 1 and they did a classic and it's actually the original gen one we did a review on it uh it's just cool to have if you're a Glock Fanboy like I am which I am a Glock Fanboy but this is honestly a Glock with a long slide and a short grip it's not all that Innovative it's not that exciting but there are some things about it that make this really cool and one of the biggest things about this handgun this may not be the configuration for you but it gives us more choices and guys it's just a benefit for us so what we have again is that model 17 length slide it has a 4 and 1/2 in barrel of course it's polygonal grooves you have the ndlc coating which is a nitride black coating finish that really makes this very nice it gives it a really Pleasant Sheen to it you have all your Gen 5 configurations with your front and rear cocking serrations you have no finger grooves here you have your texturing that's the pyramid texturing and you also have available back straps which we'll look at to give you a little bit more grip if you want it but the Gen 5 really gets that grip as small as it can be and that's great for people like me uh which I have medium hands and so this really fills my hand well but if I have larger hands just add the grip of course they have improved the trigger somewhat as well and of course the magazine release can be switched to the other side and you have ambidextrous slide stops and that's just the externals of the gen5 there's a lot of internal differences but one of the big things that changes this handgun is that this uses a Glock 19 short recoil system with the Glock 17 it's longer and here we have the Glock 17 and you'll notice that the dust cover is just longer and it accommodates a longer guide rod and and spring and so this honestly doesn't shoot as well as the model 49 for some reason the 19 recoil system in this long slide make it very flat shooting with the extra mass from the slide very similar to the Glock 47 which uses that g19 recoil system but has the full length slide full length grip this is one that Glock did produce and so when they came out with the g49 I wasn't shocked I was a little surprised just because Glock typically doesn't do a lot of variations but they have been deling into some of the hybrids now you see this hole and this is actually to change out your front site but it has a dust cover that comes around and this allows for this slide to fit on a Glock 19 frame which would make it the exact same gun you have here but You' have to have two guns you'd have to have a Glock 19 and a Glock 47 uh with this if this is the configuration you like and guys I'll just be honest with you with modular guns like that I put it in one configuration typically and I don't really switch them out but it wouldn't be that difficult to do plus it gives you a little longer sight radius now one of the things about sight radius if you have an Optics ready version where you can put an optic on here sight radius doesn't even matter but one of the things about your front and rear sight if you have a longer distance you can get more accuracy at longer distances with your sights it just helps them to line up a little more naturally but again if you're using a red dot that doesn't even matter and of course you have your standard glock sites which you've been around for a long time but you have a plethora of options to put on here because honestly guys you can go into about any store if they have a selection of holsters or they have magazines or different accessories Glock will be the first that you see some of the other guns even though they're popular may or may not have holster options but about any store that carries holsters will carry a glock holster and this will fit in your standard Glock 17 holster or Glock 47 holster so guys here we have just a number of Glock standard type pistols I don't have the model 34 which is the 9mm long slide but we got the model 26 which is subcompact we have the model 19 which is their Compact and we have the model 17 which is their full-size gun the model 47 again we've looked at that and then you have the Glock model g19x or Glock 45 these all use the same magazines a lot of the parts are interchangeable and it's part of the Glock ecosystem so while we've had the 19 and the 17 and honestly the 26 for a long time I mean that's the Legacy Glocks they are coming in with more hybrid options which is nice now of course obviously this is not earth shattering it's not changing a lot uh they incremental changes which is typical for Glock but it's still a Glock and it's Gen 5 and again guys it just gives us more choices and the beautiful thing about the model 49 is we have our 15 round magazine but we can put our 17 round magazine in there it'll hang out a little bit but you do have that round capacity or you know you can throw in a 33 round mag uh so there's a number of different options plus there are other 24 round mags I believe and some different options but Glock magazines are very reasonable they have steel lining and again they're plentiful uh any store that carries a number of different magazines will'll have Glock magazines but honestly guys I mean I'm a Glock fan I wanted to try out the 49 but I wasn't very optimistic it how much I would like it uh the long slide to me it makes it look a little bit off balance of course you know with just extra slide mass is it going to recoil more and these are just thoughts that were going through my head so when I first took it out to the range and I shot it I was very pleasantly surprised The Recoil impulse on this just shoots flat and you can see right here I mean it's just a very flat shooting gun sometimes when you get more slide Mass on the gun it tends to have more slide Mass coming back and it tends to have a little bit more of a muzzle flip and that's just for the way I shoot but with the Glock 19 recoil system I I think it really balances with this slide system uh and it shoots a lot like the g47 but yet when we lined up the g47 the g19 the g19x and the 49 there were some differences some just Nuance differences but none of the different pistols shot a lot differently when you bring in the Glock model 17 it has a longer recoil system we did not compare this but typically for me the Glock 17 and the Glock 34 tend to have more Slide m coming back in your hand and with that recoil system it just seems to shoot a little bit more with it coming back just like it just rocks a little bit more that's just my experience now the way the new slide is configured it does fix the problem of taking a 17 slide and putting it on the Glock 19 because what happens is you have this much of the frame cut off and so you can actually see a little bit of your recoil system which just allows for an area for dust into and things to get up in there and so the way this is designed it allows for you to put it on your Glock 19 frame and so your Glock 17 slide on your 19 frame this is what you're going to get it's just going to hang off and it's going to just open it up but if you put your Glock 49 slide on your g17 grip it pretty much looks the same except for this large hole at the front now as far as the Trigger action it's glocked but we're going to go through it because that's what we do so we have our trigger shoe right here that's a safety and you can notice when you depress it with a full pad it disappears pull it back you have your standard take up little bit of stacking and then a break honestly the new trigger is better than the original reset right there and trigger pull weight with our linman trigger gauge 5 lbs honestly Glock has about a 5 to 5 and a half pound trigger across the board and the weight on the model 49 23.4 oz big thank you to fi for sponsoring our ammunition all made in the USA biggest suppliers of ammunition in the country and we love our Lula mag Lula to saving our thumbs now with the Glock 49 a lot of people have asked for this now is that a lot of people that are going to buy this that's the question uh you know everybody wants that long slide with the short grip grip's harder to conceal and you get longer sight radius you get better ballistics out of a little bit longer Barrel so but you have more slide Mass coming back so I really was curious how this was going to shoot compared to the other Glocks and so we're going to compare different ones the model 47 which is a g17 size we're going to try the g19x and then the Glock 19 this has that short grip 15+ one it it shoots pretty flat uh it's not bad I was concerned about this shorter grip it would kind of give me a little bit of that slide Mass coming back but definitely beautiful so let's try the g47 again the g47 again is a fulllength slide fulllength grip definitely a different impulse but not a bad difference seems like that shorter grip actually gives you something different about the uh the leveraging on the handgun a little bit more hanging off now if you have hands that may change you may really prefer to have the longer grip but uh very comparable in Recoil impulse now we're going with the g19x short slide long grip this has been to me one of the best shooting Glocks out of the F but with the g49 you know it's just a little bit different as far as shootability g19x to in my book still rules and maybe because you have less slide MK coming back but you have more grip so you can get a better leverage on it but for concealed carry you're going to want that 49 with the shorter grip cuz this is a full-size grip but if you have big hands you're going to like that bigger grip but I love the way this comes back it's just less coming back in your hand not a lot of difference in muzzle rise but a lot of difference in just the felt recoil then we have the good old g19 short slide short grip and so let's just compare the g19 seems to kind of rise up a little bit uh the shorter grip I'm not getting the leverage I am with the g19x very shootable but uh it just seems to pop up it's kind of funny not a lot of muzzle rise just pops up a little bit but you get right back up on your site I love it because there's not really a clear winter because they're all different for different rolles and that's just makes it beautiful so the big deal with the G4 is that short grip long slide easier to conceal but yet you have more of a full size type gun but Apples to Apples they all shoot pretty well and of course disassembly is exactly the same as your standard Glocks uh first thing you'll do is pull the trigger pull back just a touch on your slide and pull down on your takedown tabs and the slide comes right off here we have that shorter recoil system you can see that it ends right here at that dust cover and then we have pretty much our Glock 17 barrel well guys here's the two guide rods your Model 17 versus your model 49 which is your model 19 compact recoil system uh it's just a little bit longer and so again I mean it's maybe a/ inch maybe less and it does make a difference though when you're shooting but this is what's in Glock 49 but when it comes to barrels uh they're the same for reassembly we're just going to drop in our Barrel recoil spring and guide rod bring it back over your frame in our magazine pull the trigger and it's ready right it comes with the standard Glock box and you get your pistol you get two additional magazines and that's one thing with three magazines that is a big premium honestly a lot of lot of times companies are going with one magazine two is usually a bonus now this one again has your back straps and we have them right here it's just two additional backstraps it really adds a beaver tail to the end of the gun now with the pistol comes one adapter plate and this is for the Trijicon Holan am merlow sites and you can go to this QR code and you can get different adapter plates if you need to fit your gun but this is something that a lot of companies just aren't including and you get cleaning rod and brush and you get your federally mandated lock now as far as price MSRP 745 I was seeing it for around the 620 price range of course it is the Gen 5 MOS version pros and cons well you got a short grip easier to conceal longer slide little extra ballistics and you have a longer sight radius again if you add a red dot it's not really going to matter the big thing about the Glock is its complete reliability you know I mean these guns I've been calling the AK-47 of the handgun world for a long time the g49 definitely fits right in there another big plus is you're going to have a lot of aftermarket support with holsters magazines sites I mean all of that fits on the g49 magazine compatibility with 15 17 and 33 round magazines plus all the aftermarket magazines just a lot of different options but first and foremost it is a Glock there's not a lot of differences between this and some of the other Glock handguns but it gives us more choices and that is the big takeaway here is the choices is whether this gun is for you or not it does give us an option and honestly if it wasn't for Tallow putting out these exclusives we wouldn't be getting these just like the Gen one classic Model 17 what a cool gun but something that Glocks not NE necessarily going to go out and produce and so it's nice to get some different options and of course Tallow also does a ton of different colors and other configurations and again I mean there's a whole network of Distributors through Tallow and there are a lot of ffls that deal with a lot of the Tallow Lipsy Davidson's rsr I mean there's a huge list that carry their guns so not earth shattering but again another choice and so when compared to the other Glocks I find that there's some slight differences but overall I really enjoyed the way the Glock 49 shot The Recoil impulse is just excellent and really you can put any of your other Glock g19 g17 even your 33 round mags so it gives you a lot of capability and it's really good to see more options from Glock and again a big thank you to Tallow and to lipes for sending the model 49 for this review be strong be of good courage God Bless America long live the republic [Music] [Music] okay now let's do this again cuz I feel like I'm like a complete goob magaz me just throw this camera away put that $44,000 camera in the garbage in the US military modular handgun trials yeah but it has a g19 uh recoil did I already say all that what about oranges to bananas so we're not going to do oh man this battery died so soft and smooth it's not really smooth but it is soft
