This segment of the Regular Guy Training LLC video focuses on the slide serrations and recoil system of the Gen 6 Glock 17. The instructor highlights the improved design of the front slide serrations, noting their fatter and deeper profile at the front, which thins out towards the frame, providing superior grip compared to previous generations and other models like the RXM. The guide rod and recoil spring assembly is also discussed, with the Gen 6 adopting a single-coil spring and Gen 3-style guide rod, a change from the Gen 4 and 5. Glock's rationale for this change is attributed to addressing failure points in earlier generations under extreme testing.
This review of the Glock 17 Gen 2 highlights its durability and reliability, noting it's a law enforcement trade-in that's broken in with expected wear. Key features discussed include the 4.49-inch barrel, Trijicon night sights, squared-off slide profile, rear slide serrations, and a distinct pebble-like grip texture. The trigger has noticeable take-up and a spongy brake but a decent reset, making it predictable for those familiar with Glocks.
This review of the Rock Island Armory STK100 highlights its value proposition as a Glock 17-style pistol with numerous features for its $500 price point. Key pros include the metal frame receiver, aggressive stippling, front and rear slide serrations, and a Doctor's cut red dot mount. The primary cons are the heavy weight due to the metal frame and a significantly poor trigger reset.
