Is This $1600 Glock 17 Worth It? The Zev Glock

This video details an experimental test to determine if PB Blaster penetrating oil can compromise the seals of modern 9mm ammunition. The speaker, a firearms enthusiast and gear tester, submerges ammunition in PB Blaster for up to a month and then tests its reliability by firing it from a Glock 17 Gen 4. The results indicate that modern ammunition remains reliable even after prolonged exposure to the penetrating oil.

Glock has announced the discontinuation of over 35 firearm models, a move the presenter believes is to streamline production and focus on best-selling SKUs. This includes various generations and configurations of popular models like the Glock 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, and 49. The company is reportedly discontinuing 70% of its SKUs that accounted for only 1% of sales, aiming to reinvest resources into new product development.

This video provides a detailed ballistic gel test and review of 4140 Armory's 124-grain 9mm standard pressure defensive ammunition. The reviewer, highly confident in identifying the projectile as a Speer Gold Dot, analyzes velocity, penetration, and expansion through a heavy clothing barrier using two different barrel lengths (Canik MC9 and Glock 17 Gen 4). The results demonstrate consistent and effective performance, particularly in expansion and energy transfer, making it a strong contender for self-defense.

This video details a ballistic gel test of Angelfire Ammunition's 9mm 115-grain XTP rounds. The instructor, with prior experience with XTP projectiles, tested the ammunition from a Glock 17 Gen 4 (4.5-inch barrel) and an MC9 (3.1-inch barrel). Velocity readings were taken, and gel tests were conducted with a heavy clothing barrier. The results showed consistent velocities and good expansion and penetration, leading the instructor to express pleasant surprise and confidence in the ammunition for self-defense.

This video tests Federal Premium 9mm +P+ Hydra-Shok 124-grain ammunition through two different barrel lengths: a 3.1-inch barrel on the MC9 and a 4.5-inch barrel on a Glock 17 Gen 4. The testing involved chronograph readings and ballistics gel tests with a heavy clothing barrier. While the ammunition performed adequately, the results showed a significant difference in expansion and penetration between the two barrel lengths, with the longer barrel yielding superior performance.
