Glock shows me the Gen 6!

This review of the Glock 17 Gen 6, presented by Guido from Vampire Guns, offers an in-depth analysis of its performance and technical updates. The host, demonstrating high authority, highlights improvements in balance due to the Glock 47-style slide, a refined trigger with a flush safety lever, and enhanced ergonomics via a deeper trigger guard undercut and reprofiled grip. While praising the flatter shooting and improved manipulation, he also points out potential issues for shooters with larger hands and the slide stop's design.

This review covers the new Glock 17 and 19 Generation 6 pistols, highlighting significant design departures including a factory flat-faced trigger, integrated thumb rests ('gas pedals'), and a new optics mounting system. While initial accuracy is noted, the heavy trigger pull and a reported failure to extract suggest potential areas for improvement. The reviewer, with extensive experience with Glocks, offers an analytical perspective on Glock's innovation pace.

The Glock 17 Gen 6 introduces significant ergonomic improvements over the Gen 5, including enhanced stippling, a 'gas pedal' thumb rest, a more defined magwell, and a higher beavertail. It also features a factory optics cut and an extended ambidextrous slide release. While the core Safe Action internals remain, the trigger shoe is now flat-faced. Live fire testing showed good accuracy but highlighted a potential issue with the extended slide release causing accidental slide locks under specific grip conditions. Overall, the ergonomic upgrades are considered a worthwhile improvement.

Shortshot Tony, an experienced shooter with thousands of rounds tested, evaluates the Glock Gen 6. He finds the Gen 6 offers improved frame and grip texture with phenomenal performance. However, for owners of customized Gen 5 models, the upgrade may not be necessary. Newcomers are advised to opt for the Gen 6 due to its effective grip texture for both performance and daily carry.

This video provides an expert-level unboxing and overview of the new Glock 19 Gen 6, presented by Dustin, a firearms instructor. Key updates include an integrated beavertail, deeper slide serrations for easier manipulation, and the new Optic Ready System (ORS) utilizing plastic washers for direct optic mounting. The grip features an aggressive RTF texture with a 'gas pedal' thumb rest, and the controls have been refined with an extended magazine release and enhanced slide stop guard. Internal modifications are noted to potentially aid legal compliance in certain jurisdictions.

This review from T.REX ARMS analyzes the new Generation 6 Glock pistols, comparing factory upgrades against custom builds. The Gen 6 features significant improvements in slide serrations, optic mounting, frame texture, and controls. While an objective upgrade over previous stock generations, the video suggests dedicated shooters may still prefer custom options for highly specific needs. The analysis includes shooting comparisons, reliability tests in adverse conditions, and an assessment of trigger and grip performance.

This video highlights a critical firearm malfunction where the magazine drops during firing, indicating a potential issue with the magazine catch or frame interface. The speaker, Ben Stoeger, demonstrates professional handling of the malfunction, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing mechanical failures promptly. The firearm in question is a customized Shadow Systems MR920.

This video demonstrates a critical uncommanded discharge incident with a Sig Sauer P320 during a holstering procedure. The footage, analyzed by expert Ben Stoeger, highlights the importance of firearm safety and mechanical reliability, showing the discharge occurring without the shooter's finger on the trigger. It serves as a stark reminder of potential risks even during routine actions.

Ben Stoeger debunks common red dot sight misconceptions, emphasizing that 'finding the dot' and 'blooming' indicate a misunderstanding of optic mechanics. True red dot use requires focusing on the target, not the dot itself. Stoeger suggests training methods like occluding the optic to promote binocular vision and target focus, comparing this skill to trigger control which needs constant refinement.

This 15-minute dry fire program by Ben Stoeger focuses on refining fundamental shooting skills through deliberate practice. It covers slow-motion draws, varied draw techniques including lateral movement, and meticulous reload mechanics. The program progresses to advanced drills like strong-hand/weak-hand reloads and positional shooting from a kneeling stance, emphasizing precision over speed initially.
