The Glock 45

hey John Hickok hear about the Glock 45 right here playing with it something today having some fun with it it's it's pretty neat so pretty neat Glock the most noticeable thing about it of course is the front slide serrations so at least for now you can always point one of those out or spot it because these front slide serrations but they start doing that on other models of course it won't look quite as distinctive but it's got bits an interesting that's an interesting pistol it's very much like the 19 X and the sense that you have the long Glock 17 style grip but you have the short night we'll stop short per se but you have the shorter Glock 19 slide and everything of course the front part of the frame you know matches it and everything so you have from here up just like the 19 X basically Glock 19 and down here you have Glock 17 gin.5 essentially it's basically a Gen 5 because you know you've got the beveling there on the on the front and you've got the the contour on the front and the beveling down here with the magwell which i think is super unnecessary and really any any double stack magazine fed pistol that's not being used strictly for competition it doesn't make any sense because you basically already have beveling because you know it comes to a point it goes from this thickness to that thickness I mean you essentially already have that people used 1911's without a bevel mag well where you've got to actually match it up with almost no margin for error in combat for decades and decades it's not that it's ideal necessarily but it just seems unnecessary and especially on the shorter grip it kind of bothers me it's like a feel it down there or whatever I don't love it on this one you don't have to cut out like to do on some of the gym fives but pretty pretty gun before I shoot though and remind you guys to please when you can support the people who support this channel like Bud's gun shop calm Hill check them out suit all they have to offer that might have some of these I don't know but they have a lot of new guns over there also federal ammo be shooting federal got four mags loaded up with federal ammo so appreciate them also the NRA if you have not yet joined the NRA please go to the link in the description of this video and do that right now and also SDI the Sonoran Desert Institute there are flee or credit online distance learning program where you can become a gunsmith so check that out for sure alright let's shoot it see how it shoots now you've heard dad complains about the trigger on these things and the gin fives and then they were Glocks and I have to agree with that because I like the wall you know I like I like a trigger that has a nice wall where you know where it's gonna break I know they say it's supposed to be a surprise you know you're supposed to be a surprise when the trigger breaks and all that kind of stuff but I don't care about any of that I like to to know like alright right there that's where it's starting to get stiff you know when you break that that it's gonna fire I don't I don't like that gradual you know almost like micro double-action feel that some semi-automatic handguns have even though as dad has also pointed out many times it doesn't necessarily affect the shoot ability it's just kind of a preference okay let's start on the stop sign you know I like to do that got some extra Maggie's gonna [ __ ] it let's let's try that's right go ahead try over on the hill oh good start start out with the goal see if I can pop the gone through this thing the nine millimeter so shouldn't have to compensate for the drop or anything [Applause] [Music] let's see if I can hit that Buffalo [Music] a couple times try some clothes stuff last magazine I struggle on that tree sometimes so yeah it shoots great of course you know I'm uncomfortable with Glocks for the most part grew up shooting them shoots about like what you expect walk the shoot again the trigger you know is not maybe what you would expect from some of the older ones it almost reminds me more of like the really old Glocks which I don't love it's not quite as bad as like the really early blocks but it's a little bit more like it's a little more like those the front serrations are cool I like that I kind of hope that they'll put those on some of the other models I think that's kind of neat it's a little bit kind of boggles the mind a little bit it's interesting that they're very Glock front serrations you know that's kind of funny to me that they're exactly like these back here shouldn't be surprised I guess but it's almost like you know is it going forwards they're going backwards it's kind of you know they boggles the mind a little bit if you're not used to seeing these but I like it it's really cool because I grabbed it wraps it up here a lot anyways so it's nice having that up there but you know I'm not a huge fan of some of the gym 5 you know improvements but you know of course the this big disadvantage of this of this thing though at least in my eyes will be the grip being the 17 length I would rather just have a Glock 19 like this of course you know my you know my perfect perfect gun Glock would be basically like a generation that has like let's see like a gin 4 because you still got the finger grooves I feel like the finger grooves I remember seeing people complain that they wanted to go back to the original blocks that don't have the finger grooves I like about it feels good to me would be like a Gen 4 Glock or the slot that same slide finish and the finger grooves and all that kind of stuff and it's got that double you know recoil spring and all that it helps a little bit make it softer but with the front front the slide serrations and then the contour on the front of the slide you know those are two things that I'm that I like about this about this I don't really care about the ambi slide lock but it's not in the way you know so why not want to have it on there but yeah that's pretty neat I think it'll be pretty popular it's a neat neat neat offering from Glock I think it'll kind of kill the 19 X there'll be a lot of people I think trading in there 19 inches to try to get their hands on one of these things but yeah yeah not bad the Glock 45 not a 45 ACP they love to confuse us on that especially with the Glock 40 which is a 10 millimeter I think it was I don't know I have to go up to go research that figure that out I can't remember there's so many but you know his dad's pointed out there the numbers the Glock model numbers are totally random it would have been nice if they could have planned it to be a 45 ACP of some kind because Glock 45 just has a really cool sound too and a really cool ring to it but whatever the Glock 50 it'll be interesting to see what that is because that's you know block 50 just sounds really cool so I hope block 50 ends up being something neat and not something really forgettable you know but we'll see all right well I appreciate you guys watching this video and you know I'll be around and I'll see you again Thanks
