The Glock 49 is a highly anticipated 'crossover' pistol combining a Glock 17-length slide with a Glock 19 frame, ideal for concealed carry.

The G49 features Gen 5 enhancements, MOS capability, and is currently a distributor exclusive.

This video ranks iconic firearms, highlighting the H&K MP7's PDW capabilities and the Ruger Mini-14's traditional appeal. The FN P90 is praised for its futuristic design and controllability, while the H&K MP5 is the submachine gun standard. The AK-47 and AR-15 share the top rifle spot for reliability and modularity, respectively. The Glock 19 is crowned the ultimate versatile handgun.

The Glock 47, originally for law enforcement, is coming to civilians in 2023. It offers unique modularity by using a G19-length recoil spring assembly with a G17-length slide and barrel, and accepts G19 slides on its G45/G19X frame. This allows for a 'four gun' system when paired with a G19. The review also covers the Holosun SCS optic and the Radian Ramjet/Afterburner combo for recoil reduction.
