G17 GEN 6!!! 1000rd Review

Ben Stoeger compares the Glock Gen 6 17 and Gen 5 47, noting that while the Gen 6 17 feels softer and slower shooting, his personal preference currently leans towards the Gen 5 47 due to its snappier feel and the modifications (grip tape, Trigger Tech trigger, brass butt plug) it has received. He emphasizes that the comparison is not apples-to-apples due to the differing states of modification and that further testing is needed to form definitive opinions on the Gen 6 17.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the Glock Gen 5 and the new Gen 6 models, highlighting key design changes and performance differences. The presenters, experienced firearms instructors, discuss improvements in grip texture, ergonomics like accelerator cuts and beaver tails, and a new optic mounting system. They also analyze the impact of different recoil systems on shooting dynamics, particularly noting the Gen 6 17's use of a 19-style recoil system.

This comprehensive 6,000-round review of the Gen 6 Glock 17, presented by Regular Guy Training LLC, details significant internal and external upgrades. The analysis highlights changes in the recoil system, barrel, frame ergonomics, trigger, and optics mounting. The speaker, a professional trainer with extensive high-volume shooting experience, concludes it's the best factory Glock iteration to date, offering enhanced performance out-of-the-box.

Ben Stoeger, a professional firearms instructor and high-volume competitive shooter, provides an analytical assessment of the Glock 17 Gen 6. He highlights incremental ergonomic improvements like grip texture and a redesigned trigger but expresses significant concerns regarding the new proprietary optic mounting system's durability and compatibility, the long-term reliability of the redesigned extractor, and potential aftermarket accessory issues. His pragmatic approach emphasizes the need for extensive testing to validate these changes.

This video discusses specific ergonomic enhancements on the Gen 6 Glock 17, focusing on the single undercut on the trigger guard and the deeply cut beaver tail. The instructor notes these features allow for a higher grip, potentially reducing muzzle rise and improving control, especially for users with larger hands or when wearing gloves. The presence of these features provides confidence in the purchase by offering tangible improvements over previous generations.

The Gen 6 Glock 17 features an improved grip texture that the reviewer found surprisingly effective, negating the usual need for immediate grip modification. The 'gas pedal' feature is noted as a solid reference point rather than a functional gas pedal. This iteration of the Glock is praised for its out-of-the-box ergonomics.

This guide details how to properly zero a red dot sight on a 9mm handgun, based on expert instruction. It emphasizes understanding mechanical offset and ballistic trajectory. The video advises against zeroing at very close distances like 5 yards, recommending a 15-yard zero for 9mm handguns as it provides a more predictable point of impact at common engagement distances, typically around 50 yards.

This guide details the unique top-loading process for the Kel-Tec P50 pistol using stripper clips, as demonstrated by Shortshot Tony. It covers loading 20 rounds of 5.7x28mm ammunition and highlights the firearm's exceptionally lightweight design and minimal recoil during firing, offering a practical overview for potential users.

This video from SHORTSHOT TONY provides practical advice on defensive target selection, emphasizing aiming for the pelvic girdle rather than the head or center mass when facing threats potentially wearing body armor. The instructor, identified as a firearms enthusiast with practical shooting experience, humorously but directly explains the tactical advantage of targeting the pelvis to immobilize an opponent. The demonstration utilizes a 2011-style pistol equipped with a red dot optic.

SHORTSHOT TONY, an experienced tactical content creator, explains the proper use of red dot sights and iron sights. He emphasizes that co-witnessing is for backup purposes, not simultaneous aiming, and that red dots are parallax-free. Tony advises against aligning the red dot with irons for every shot, suggesting it's a misuse of the optic's capabilities and potentially a waste of money if not utilized correctly.
