NEW Glock GEN 5 Review (+Fun Bonus)

This review of the Canik TTI pistol highlights its features, including fiber optic front sights, blacked-out rear sights, textured grip, and a Taran Tactical magwell. The presenter praises the lever-action slide release and the precocked trigger system, comparing it favorably to a Glock 19 with a Radian Ramjet. While acknowledging the Canik TTI's strengths, the reviewer ultimately prefers the Glock 19 for its proven long-term reliability and overall package.

The Glock 17 Gen 6 introduces significant upgrades over the Gen 5, including deeper cocking serrations, a competition-style barrel, and a return to a single captured polymer guide rod. The frame offers improved modularity with a 'gas pedal' thumb shelf and a new flat-face trigger. The MOS system is enhanced for lower optic mounting. The grip texture is refined, and internal components show subtle but notable changes. The presenter, demonstrating high technical proficiency, analyzes whether these improvements justify the price increase.

This video provides a visual overview of several popular Glock pistol models, including the 19 Gen 5, 19X, 17 Gen 5, 43X MOS, 43X, and 48. The presenter, Johnny Q, highlights various configurations with aftermarket optics and lights, offering a glimpse into common setups for these firearms. The content is geared towards viewers interested in comparing different Glock models for potential purchase or understanding common accessory choices.

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 video breaks down seven Glock models recommended for purchase before the end of 2025, highlighting their strengths for various applications. The presenter, Luke from Line45, emphasizes the continued dominance of Glock in law enforcement and civilian sales, detailing specific models like the Glock 44 for affordable practice, the Glock 19 Gen 5 as an all-around versatile pistol, and the Glock 17 Gen 5 for full-size capacity and reliability. Other recommendations include the concealable Glock 43X, the hybrid Glock 19X, the capacity-focused Glock 26X, and the purpose-built Glock Hunter Edition. The presenter stresses the importance of checking for early production feed issues and testing with multiple ammunition brands.

This video provides an expert-level review and comparison of the Glock 19 Gen 4, Gen 5, and a purported 'Gen 6'. The speaker, Hegshot87, analyzes the incremental upgrades in the 'Gen 6', including enhanced slide serrations, an updated optic plate system, improved grip texturing, and a double undercut trigger guard. While acknowledging the ergonomic improvements and a more predictable recoil impulse due to a single recoil spring, the speaker concludes that the practical accuracy gains are minimal compared to previous generations. A budget-friendly alternative, the RXM, is also introduced.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously debunks the myth of Glocks being made of porcelain and undetectable by metal detectors. It references the fictional Glock 7 from Die Hard 2, clarifying that real Glocks are not made of ceramic and are standard firearms. Lovell's high authority as a professional firearms instructor is evident in his clear explanation and proper handling.

This guide outlines a method for introducing new, potentially apprehensive individuals to firearms, as demonstrated by John Lovell. It emphasizes a controlled, safe, and positive first experience, starting with small calibers and instructor-led handling, before progressing to larger platforms. The approach prioritizes building confidence and dispelling fear through expert guidance and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This video from Warrior Poet Society, featuring John Lovell, humorously illustrates that while a shooter might achieve accuracy from an unstable stance, true shooting proficiency requires a stable base for balance and recoil management. Lovell, a former Army Ranger, emphasizes that a proper stance is fundamental, not just for accuracy but for overall control and readiness. The demonstration shows how instability leads to a loss of balance after firing, highlighting the practical importance of a solid stance.

John Lovell, a professional tactical instructor, demonstrates the correct way to utilize a vertical foregrip on an AR-15. He advises against a 'gangster' grip, instead promoting a technique where the foregrip is used as a hand stop to pull the rifle into the shoulder for better recoil control. The guide also covers using the foregrip to brace against obstacles for increased shooting platform stability.
