Glock 17 Firearms Review ( Part 1 ) ($500-$620)

[WeAreTwoDoorsDown]

I personally love the camera... Like the audio it makes when you shoot... The thud is not natural, but it sounds cool....

[longshot1120]

love this pistol

hans zimmer is a legend

[joshsherrod1978]

the hammer in the wall was my favorite :)

[chivato64]

awesome damn vid man

[MrXandReggae]

you and hickok45 have the same damn voice very nice

[spiff2268]

Help me out here: What's that music at the beginning of the video?

[DinoPal]

I got better one, the Viking, check my upload:) Glock is good but not that good.

[LoneWhiteWolf13]

I wanna move to the USA so I can get a gun lol :)

[P0tat0whal3]

@LoneWhiteWolf13 USA = Win

[LoneWhiteWolf13]

@P0tat0whal3 no... I was not saying that. I was saying that I wanted to move to the usa. not that usa were "win"

[briancoolik]

@P0tat0whal3 the glock is from austria europe

[TheiTouchGuys]

@LoneWhiteWolf13 same but im only 14 lol

[mixwell1983]

Nice review !! While I own the 9mm in the Taurus pt92 and the .45 1911 I am looking at getting the Glock 22 or possible 23.. I currently have never owned a polymer gun and wouldn't mind the .40 cal and more of a compact in the g23. Someday I will get one for sure.

[1000hightower]

Glock are kick ass

[stevektek9]

Fuck Glocks there fun guns only. Fun to shoot but not very reliable. I love Sigs , berretta and HK. I would pay more for a better gun. And thats the Sig p229 in .40 s&w.

[whothaplaya]

@stevektek9 Glocks not reliable? Glocks are the most reliable pistols you can you buy. Sigs, Berrettas, and H&Ks are more money not because of their reliability but because of the cost to of the materials they are made of and to manufacture them.

[AirsoftVeteran96]

how do you adjust the rocket 3.5 lb trigger, i heard you have to fit it to your gun

[eboss]

sweet video, very informative, i want to buy my first 9mm, i think i have it down to glock 17 gen 4 , xdm 9mm, any info would be cool, thanks.

[roydsrocks]

whats with the words "kill" in the background, on the wall, over your right shoulder? psycho!

[AirsoftVeteran96]

what holster do you use with your glock?

[RDS5284]

very nice video! I just got my first Glock, it is a 17.

[GhostAnimals93]

So, im guessing this is way stronger than the G18.

[Spike00513z]

its the same caliber but semi automatic

[TacoBill83]

i think we have the same taste in music, great selections and good reveiw.

[HAYU571018031]

finally none of that fake air soft shit

[AirsoftVeteran96]

@HAYU571018031 yeah, tell me about it!! i type in glock 17 review and airsoft is splatered everywhere!!

[POTENCIAINCISIVE]

anybody know the song title and artist at the 5:00 minute marker...? thx

[AVideoC]

Great video(s).

One suggestion: invest in some audio equipment - the content's great, the audio's ass.

[imeddiemorales]

Great video man!

[SHUTupNrocK8]

I've seen plently of Glocks around my way under $500. I would never play more than $550.

[atommtrhead]

my glock 17 is new and i shot 250 rnds through it today and was shoot slighly left the whole time any sugestions

[tupperware9mm]

@atommtrhead get a glock tool and move your rear sight a tad to the left

[myppnu]

@atommtrhead

Two things determine where your shots are going to hit. Sight alignment and trigger control. Since the sights are correctly aligned on the gun from factory don't move them around. Make sure you align the sights correctly and then SQUEEZ the trigger. If you are right handed shooter you are jerking the trigger if you hit left.

Happy practicing. :)

[TheWhyteboi89]

ya actually glocks when they come from the factory for right hand shooters shoot a little high and to the left, they sell trigger upgrades that will eliminate this problem

[TheWhyteboi89]

if you go to a gun show alot of time they have glock manufactures there and they will install the upgrade with a 3.5lb trigger for about 125 and it also includes the pieces that you need to shoot your glock underwater to, you normally cant buy these pieces cause they are only for law enforcement and military but its welll worth the money

[jerstolp]

dude i did my own trigger job on my 27 for about 40 and have a reliable safe 2.63 trigger pull,glocks are soo easy to work on. and the "pieces" to make it shoot under water are maritime cups, and they are redilly available to anyone..

[RDS5284]

@jerstolp how did you get such a light trigger pull???

[jerstolp]

just like this vid showed the spring cups, you replace those with the maritime cups

[atommtrhead]

i have a problem my spring on my glock 17 always comes off the cresent lip of the barrel is this normal and it always tends to be at an angle whhen i rack the slide

[atommtrhead]

whats he trying to prove with the limp wrist thing

[darogers125]

if your in a stressful situation you might not hold the gun correctly and he was seeing if it would jam

[booniecap101]

Great vid man.

[Slench101]

wtf you can't even get 10 round magazines for this glock if you look at their website then you'll see that the G17 holds 17 as standard and 33 as optional

[BrandonM591]

@Slench101

Ya you can, guys that are in Cali are required to have it. Also, I went to a local gunshop today and look at a G17...it had 10 round mag with it

[capnkirktm]

good but video but the opening music was a bit too much

[punahawaiipball]

nice shooting!

whats that song in the beginning?

[Funraiser]

Song is from the US TV miniseries "John Adams"

[thehappyinsomniac]

Desert Eagle "owns this shit"? Why? A hand gun round is only any good at stopping an opponent instantly if you hit the right spot...and instantly is pretty much what you're after isn't it? If you can hit a guy in the head or heart region with a 9mm but can't RELIABLY do it with a Desert Eagle, go for the 9...that's your best bet. Everyone will find a gun that suits their shooting style and physical capability if they're patient. A 9mm round in the right spot's gonna stop you pretty damned quick.

[FreethinkerM357]

Especially if its a hydro-shock 9mm round.

[crazzyguydj]

because he is a gamer that doesn't own any guns.. or if he does, doesn't know much about them.

[thehappyinsomniac]

Hehe yeah, you're probably on the money there

[dtotheatothevtothee]

Nice teardown instructions...thanks!

[gazzxr]

Desert eagle owns this shit :D

[synrbone]

not really cod4 fag

[drummingkid150]

Good luck hitting someone.

[WINDHAMMAN]

I love my glock 30-I've learned a lot watching theses vids from kickedintheballs-no bs and to the point-

[M1911A1GUY]

technically glocks are striker fired, which is different from both double and single action...just fyi

[videoshots1]

this dude kicks ass

[SHTFzombies]

i like your video but glocks are single action not double.

[choppers4life1988]

wrong

[SHTFzombies]

does striker fire mean anything to you?

[Xephyron]

Def. not single action. For it to be single action you'd have to hand cock it.. Which there's no actual part to cock.. So it can't be single action.

[SHTFzombies]

so your telling me if you pull the trigger with out cocking it it will fire? go look up the difference between single and double.

[Xephyron]

Yeah, the G17 will cock itself, then fire. ie, DA..

[SHTFzombies]

DA is when the trigger does two jobs cocking and fireing. if you pull the trigger on qn empty glock the trigger will stay locked ie, SA

[Xephyron]

Yeah, I asked around about that, and you're right since you have to rack the slide first. No hard feelings.

[SHTFzombies]

No problem, I think you had single action revolvers confusing you. were you have to pull back the hammer every time to fire it, where single action auto pistols like the glock you have to rack the slide once and the recoil cocks it every time after. thats ok though that use to confuse me.

[Xephyron]

Yep, Thanks. Kinda new to firearms :P

[garthrules]

Awesome video man!! I love my Glock 17. I trust it with my life every single day.

[mrzack888]

a 45 second intro is bit too long

[stabymcstaber]

Excellent review I also like the Black Hawk Down sound bite.

[spmac1957]

want to buy a glock,thanx for the vid!

[zacockerpball]

thanks for the vid man... and good choice on the music, loved the song from Fargo

[JMS444444]

How can i get 1 to the U.K?

[SamF0]

you can't lol.

[Parlato19]

move to the USA

[ryanbinrichard]

@Parlato19 or Northern Ireland...

[johndagger]

So why do other handguns better in this test.

Simple: Glocks have as you know a polymer frame and a steel Slide. Slide heavy - frame light.

In other Guns the Frame is as or heavier than the slide, so inertia keeps it in Position much better, it suffices to assure proper reloading. The Glock Frame is lightweight, so less inertia, less resistance against the backward impuls. So Glocks could easily pass the Test if they where heavier. Why for christs sake? to shoot with 2 Fingers ? I dont think so!

[johndagger]

This Limp Test is absolutely senseless.

The Glock like most other Pistols is a recoil-loader. The slide rocks back, the frame stays where it is. So the slide moves backwards relatively to the frame and ejekts/chambers the next round.

The obvious Problem with the Limp Test is that you dont bring enough resistance on the frame to hold it in Position, therefor the slide AND frame rock back, no proper relative movement between the two, so no proper ejection/feeding. Not a Glock Problem, but Physics

[flukshun]

i wouldnt call it senseless, but given that it is gonna happen to some extent... due to the very laws of the universe as you stated...it should be be a bit more quantitative rather than a plain "fail" for an unstated # of failures.

but it is a very useful thing to test, because, especially in the case of home defense..trouble will tend to find you rather than the other way around, and you wont always be able to set up properly before getting off a round. nice to know how your gun will handle

[BigSean1992]

why was it jamming so much on that "limp wrist test"?

[thejordan01]

buy a mic dude :P good stuff otherwise

[matrixllc]

Dude this is an excellent review. 5 stars and subbed.

[idonthavewun]

awsomee weaaponn

[DarkheartTheHeritic]

is that a hatchet in the wall?

[meherdad]

The Sound on the Video Sucks, too low bitrate.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Ya I know my old camera audio really kind of blows but I think my new camera has improved on it a lot.

[chipmunkperduction]

i thaught glocks are full auto

[Sahib0120]

Just the Glock 18 9mm, it's the full auto version of the glock 17.

[hammurambi]

there is a full auto model

[bearsfan1294]

just bought a brand new 17 for $434 on gunbroker

[tjsst162]

That guy should be a salesman!

[icey4life1]

nice vid and glock

im bout to get 1 to

im bout to get da complete hook up

[sondreus24]

i`m gonna buy one when i get older.might have too move to USA

[Sahib0120]

Bought my first glock (the G17) at a gun show last week and I absolutely love it! Thanks for the reviews kicked!

[generalsaam]

what is the name of the song during the range/shooting sequence? Very awesome.

[MadeJezza]

do use more than one gun as your carry wepond or do you stick with just one?

waz just wondering.

Kepp the vids comin

[vrich3733]

Great vid.... looking to by a glock. Thanks for the info. it helps!

[rescuealex]

Hey GREAT Video ! I just bought a Glock 19. My first Glock. I am telling you I feel like a kid on Christmas riding his very first bicycle. The gun is awesome, smooth shooting, simple and dependable. I already put over 500 rounds and no problems whatsoever. I guess is broken in because is getting smoother and smoother. I got a GTL 22 Light/Laser and a 33 round Mag. I want another Glock maybe a 23 or 26. I may stay with the 23 because I can still use the 33 rd mag. What a Combo ! Great Video !

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks for watching man , the glock 19 is a great choice.

[Ajacks1911]

Awesome vid. The g17 is my absolute favorite. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[specialforces99]

Great Video !

[chaosut]

Awesome, the john adams theme song. Great review btw.

[chemgaff7]

hey mate great video. better than any of the other reviews. can't wait to get my first glock. sucks that you can't get anything higher than 10 rounds mag in australia. fucking howard.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks man and sorry about your laws.

We maybe having the 10 round MAX law again here in the states.

[joshuaryung]

In california we have a 10 round max law it sucks

[wasteoftimereading]

In Norway you can't even own a gun.

[clivebarker25]

I'm pretty sure you can own a firearm in Norway but obviously it's a lot more restrictive than here in the US.

[1278shooter]

litle tip bring the gun to your eyes not your eyes to your sights you crouch down to find the sights this slows you down as well as makes your body more tense your vid maybe you should watch yours self before you think your an expert

[kickedintheballs2000]

Who said I was a expert?

[Leland1037]

Hey Mike!! Picked up my GLOCK 17 yesturday!!!! Love it!! Now im chomping at the bit to hit the range!!!

[aazazaz]

i can get it for about 120 dollars he he its orange though and a extra 5 dollars to get the sray paint and paint it

[aazazaz]

1 thing how much is it cheapest

[theVirus7]

i know this has nothing to do with the video, but do you or anyone know if they sell just the frames in other colors such as olive drab? or do they paint glocks? i want a complete olive drab glock, but am having trouble finding any info on it.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Well I could be wrong about this but I think since the frame has the main serial number on it you have to go through glock to get another frame.

[JoeDurobot]

I know there is aftermarket frames that you can buy, in aluminium or steel, maybe you can find painted polymere too.

You can also paint it yourself with special paint made for painting gun for cammo and such.Well I dunno if that helped.BTW what can of Glock do you have?

[tacoma200]

I enjoy you video's. Very informative..

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks man.

[gajl07]

good video men, I have a g17 but I can not open it, I Don`t know what happen whit the slide, Do you have had this problem?

[UnKn0Wn562]

just wondering wts the point of the limprist test

just wondering

[cts1236]

great video bro, keep it up glock 17 is my favor gun

[cpuneronet]

holy shit whats with the music on here??? sounds like a sad war movie.. lets hear some banjo haha

[Tackleberrym14]

I'm going to buy one!!

[rwh5350]

Hey Man just wanted to ask what ammo you use for target shooting and what you use as your regular day to day ammo, when I bought my glock 17 4yrs ago the guy told me to only shoot FMJ and to stay away from the cheap stuff, whats the cheapest ammo you use? What about HP?

Keep up the good work

[kickedintheballs2000]

I have shot many types of very cheap ammo in my glocks and the best bang for your buck ammo I found that works good is WWB ammo (Winchester White Box) you know the stuff you see at wally world (Walmart). Some people have problems with WWB but it has always worked great for me (even know it does burn pretty dirty). Now that I started reloading I can load my own at half the price of WWB ammo.

Just never use lead rounds in your glock and you should be ok.(Always use Jacketed rounds in glocks )

[bravesandfinsfan]

i have a question what is the purpose of the limp wrist test, your are never going to shot like that so why does it matter? im not trying to be an ass either i honestly would like to know what that might tell u about a firearm

[kickedintheballs2000]

Well I don't really feel the limp wrist test holds any water also but some people do. The idea of the test is to see if the firearm is not held right will it still work ( As in , say your shot in the arm and still need to fire the gun without a good grip )

Many Semi-auto handguns will fail this test with target loads but using normal self defence loads like +p ammo will help the firearm best this test.

[Gaverny]

god, that was a bad ass video dude.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks man

[hate1diesel]

thanks for the reviews just bought my first Glock today!

[jkatz44]

im thinking of getting a glock 17 for competion shooting have any suggestions on where to get a good deal on one of them

[bbiguy]

yea, a local gun store (:

[kickedintheballs2000]

Yep thats where I get all my firearm also , just a local gun store here in adrian MI

[afti123]

Best layman gunster on YouTube

[kickedintheballs2000]

lol thanks ( I think )

[DizzyDashLoc]

I love the videos, my friend.

I just kept finding stuff I was looking for info on, covered entirely by your videos.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks man , I'm glad I could help.

Thanks for watching.

[Verator]

Great videos man. If you ever get the notion or have the time put a review of the Glock 19. Great gun in my opinion and you've done the normal size (17) and the sub compact (26) a review of the compact model (19) might be nice to round it out and maybe a (34) review. Anyone that knows anything about firearms knows you are doing a great service to the community. Keep up the nice work. Remember stock mags are regular capacity not high capacity. We don't have enough firearms rights as it is. ;)

[kickedintheballs2000]

Thanks you very much man. I don't own a G19 at this time ( Yet ) but I do plan on getting one before to long.

I own a G23 which is pretty much the same thing as the G19 but in the caliber 40S&W which I could review until I get a G19.

Thanks for the support man.

[Verator]

A glock 23 video would be excellent. I appreciate your reply.

Keep up the good work.

[BigR5d]

what the name of the song at the beginning?...

[kickedintheballs2000]

That is the opening tune to HBO's " John Adams "

[BigR5d]

whats a good 9mm self defense ammo?

[fivepoint7090]

DRT frangible!

[clap5]

I just got off the phone with Glock. They told me the 4th Generation Glocks won't release until Mid 2009.

[kickedintheballs2000]

As long as we can still buy handguns in the USA its worth the wait lol.

Thanks for the info man.

[clap5]

I called there American Head Quarters in Georgia. I don't believe we have to import the guns into the U.S.

[subaru84]

any gun is susceptible to limp-wristing; they're not designed to be fired without a good grip.

[mikejoproductions]

yes, that is true, however, the glock 17 fails EXCESSIVELY when limp wristed. any other gun shoots SOME rounds. The glock fails nearly every single round.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Well not really cause I have done this same test with +P ammo and the firearm did very well.

[generalsaam]

What is the song that starts in the range tests? I remember it from somewhere...

[kickedintheballs2000]

Well I forget the name of the song but its from the " Black hawk Down " Soundtrack.

[chrisw992]

The song is track# 13 (Leave No Man Behind) from the Black Hawk Down soundtrack.

[clap5]

I got a G26 and G19. Looking to get one as a combat pistol...should I go for the G17 or right on up to the G34?

[kickedintheballs2000]

Well I think the G17 is just as good as the G34 but some people like the longer sight radius of the G34. Other then that they are pretty much the same firearm.

[4638JL]

Great video, you might fair well in Law Enforcement?

[mlorentz87]

glocks are not a DAO they are striker-fired, other than that good review.

[kickedintheballs2000]

Yes I know its called a glock action but the ATF has it as a Double action.

But for looking out man.

[thewoooolf]

amazing review ! whats the song in the end ??

[kickedintheballs2000]

I forget the name of the song itself but the song is from " The da vinci code " soundtrack.

[dandaisapanda2]

hey just curious.... where do u purchase a new glock from glock?

[kickedintheballs2000]

Just from my local firearm store.

[dandaisapanda2]

thanks

[GitcheG75]

How many mags would you recomend buying for the Glock 17?  Would ten 17 rounds mags be sufficient?

[dc5type5policeman]

great vid buddy, especialy love the 92fs vids, what is the song playing from 3:08 till 5:01, cheers

[kickedintheballs2000]

That song is from the " Black hawk Down " Soundtrack but I can't remember the name of the song itself ( Sorry mybad )

[chilllpsupbabe]

informative vid. nice work. what do you think of the sig p226?

[05MagnumSXT]

My first Glock was a 17. Great video. I always wanted to know how to get the slide plate off.

Thanks!!

FIVE STARS

[kickedintheballs2000]

No problem man thanks for watching

[enemykilla52]

what would you recamend glock 17 or beretta 92?

[depusn2007]

I would definitely say the 17 is a much better gun. I own one and it shoots every time. Its triple safe system is unsurpassed. It is also very clean looking with good front and rear sights. I don't sights on beretta and other guns.

[enemykilla52]

im in the market for a 9mm but im undecided.how much did youre's cost you?
