How Reliable Is the New Glock Gen 6?

This video provides a comprehensive debrief after a 2,000-round burndown test of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 Compact. The instructor details sustains and improves, including accuracy comparisons against competitors, optic mounting reliability, and iron sight retention. Major points of improvement focus on the trigger's excessive take-up and the grip's ergonomics for reloads, while noting zero malfunctions throughout the testing period.

This video details a comprehensive torture test of the Glock 19 Gen 6, conducted by a professional firearms reviewer on Garand Thumb's range. The test includes subjecting the pistol to being run over by an ATV, submersion in mud, and abrasion from being dragged behind a UTV. The review highlights the firearm's resilience, noting specific failures like a broken plastic rear sight and malfunctions caused by mud, but ultimately demonstrating its ability to remain functional after rigorous abuse.

This review from hickok45 provides an expert-level look at the new Glock 19 Gen 6, detailing significant changes in grip texture, an integrated beavertail, an improved optics mounting system, and a flat-faced trigger. The video highlights practical differences compared to previous generations, offering insights into handling and potential modifications for shooters. hickok45's extensive experience shines through as he demonstrates the firearm's performance and discusses its ergonomic and functional updates.

This video challenges the long-held notion of Glock's absolute reliability and shootability supremacy. The presenter, with extensive experience, compares several modern striker-fired pistols against the Glock 19 Gen 6, evaluating their performance in shootability, ergonomics, and a rigorous mud/sand reliability test. While acknowledging Glock's historical reliability and simplicity, the video argues that newer options offer superior ergonomics, better triggers, and comparable or better reliability for similar or less cost, suggesting Glock is no longer the undisputed leader.

This video from Trench Grenade discusses the potential release of the Glock Gen 6 pistol and whether to conduct a 5,000-round burndown series. The speaker expresses skepticism about many upcoming "Glock shill" reviews, offering a deal to conduct extensive testing if viewer engagement (likes and 'red pill' emojis) reaches specific thresholds. He also ranks current preferred Glock-style pistols for everyday carry.

This video from Exile Armory LLC showcases a variety of new and used firearms available for purchase. Amber highlights several models including the Century Arms RAS47, Browning Synergy Wicked Wing shotgun, Diamondback DB15 pistol, Marlin Trapper rifle, and various Ruger models like the 10/22 and American series.

This guide details the proper technique for safely loading the M1 Garand, specifically addressing the common 'Garand Thumb' phenomenon. It emphasizes maintaining downward pressure on the en-bloc clip during loading to prevent the bolt from slamming forward prematurely. Expert instruction from Garand Thumb highlights this as a key safety measure for new shooters.

This comprehensive review of the Russian Altyn helmet, presented by Garand Thumb, details its construction and ballistic performance. The helmet features a 3mm titanium shell with an aramid liner, rated for pistol and fragmentation threats. Testing reveals it stops 9mm and .44 Magnum rounds but fails against rifle calibers like 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm. Despite its robust construction for its intended role, its significant weight and lack of rifle protection are noted as drawbacks compared to modern alternatives.

Garand Thumb, a recognized subject matter expert in tactical equipment, critically assesses the effectiveness of ballistic face masks. The video details rigorous testing using realistic ballistic dummies and various firearms, from handguns to rifles, to measure projectile stopping power and backface deformation. The conclusion highlights significant risks associated with these masks, primarily due to severe deformation, suggesting they are often 'gimmicky' and less effective than traditional head protection.

This guide details the correct technique for loading the M1 Garand rifle, specifically addressing how to avoid 'Garand Thumb.' It emphasizes the 'bladed hand' method, a crucial technique for safe and efficient loading demonstrated by the speaker. Proper execution involves a swift, decisive motion to seat the en-bloc clip while protecting the thumb from the forward-moving bolt.
