The Glock 17L Gen 5, nicknamed 'The Long Boy,' is presented as a competition-oriented pistol. It features a lighter trigger pull (24 Newtons compared to the standard 25-26N) and a longer barrel (6.02 inches) contributing to a unique recoil impulse. The MOS system is noted, though the reviewer experienced issues with mounting optics. The pistol's balance and extended slide are discussed as beneficial for staying on target during competition.

Ben Stoeger discusses the impact of grip panel differences on CZ Shadow 2 pistols, highlighting how subtle changes in thickness and texture affect trigger finger placement and control. He emphasizes that even minor ergonomic adjustments can significantly improve shooting performance, particularly in double-action trigger pulls, and advises having backup optics readily available due to potential failures.

This review of the Staccato XC, conducted by an individual with over two years of experience with the firearm, highlights its exceptional balance and smooth cycling, attributing these qualities to its 2011 platform design. The speaker emphasizes that while the firearm's mechanics assist the shooter, proficiency ultimately relies on the user's skill in grip, trigger control, and sight alignment. The review also touches on maintenance, potential issues with extreme dirt or heat, and the importance of proper firearm care for reliability.

This instructional segment from Richardson Precision & Training focuses on the critical fundamentals of firearm stance and grip. Lead instructor Daniel Richardson, assisted by Daniel Wright, demonstrates how an incorrect stance (weight on heels) leads to muzzle drop and instability. They emphasize a balanced stance with weight forward ('nose over toes') for optimal recoil absorption and control. The video also details building a proper two-handed grip, highlighting the 'C-clamp' method for both hands to fill gaps, create leverage, and manage recoil effectively, while also advising against locked elbows.

This episode of 'Who Moved My Freedom' features a discussion about the new 2018 Glock 19X. The hosts analyze its design, noting the 17-frame with a 19-slide combination, offering a 17-round capacity in a shorter grip profile. They discuss its origins in military trials, the inclusion of metal night sights, and the improved barrel. While acknowledging Glock's conservative approach to innovation, they debate the value proposition of the 19X at its price point, considering its unique features and potential appeal to consumers looking for something different from the standard Glock offerings.
