[S1PR0DUCTI0NS]

5,000 rounds? lol i have a gen 3 with over 40,000 rounds through it in the past two years with a factory spring

[MarshallDice]

Coming soon to a drive by near you...

[OmegaxGoDx]

i wish i could have the rtf2 gen 4 glock 22 >_< but here in bum fucking were gonna make everything illegal California its not available to civilians.

[gus361]

i like my gen 3 glock 21.

[CaliforniaXlivin]

all you dicks complaining about the direction of this dudes EMPTY firearm muzzle are ghey as fuck. tryin to make it look like you know what your doing behind the trigger when all your really doing is either getting this dude fired, or a bunch of shit at work.

[UncleLoodis]

That's unbelieveable. It doesn't matter if it is 'unloaded' and/or even disassembled.  During a large portion of the video, he's pointing the muzzle at the interviewer's head and body, and his finger is on the trigger. It's poor, no, sloppy form; it's a way that bad habits are developed. Equally important, it displays to new shooters that this is acceptable handling of a firearm. It is not.

[USMCFISCELLA]

@UncleLoodis wow disassembled really? Should you always be safe? absolutely. A disassembled weapon is just pieces of metal. Also the only time i saw his finger on the trigger was when it was disassembled, which needs to happen to take a Glock apart. And i also don't think that new shooters would look at this guy and say "oh well i guess i can point my gun at people now" you are being silly.

[UncleLoodis]

@USMCFISCELLA I just think it's poor form. Sure, when it's disassembled, it's safe...it's just poor form; it's how bad habits are developed. But there are also times when it is assembled that he's pointing it in an unsafe direction. This is just my opinion. I'm not trying to be silly.  I'm just saying that it was not a good example of how to handle a handgun, IMHO.

[USMCFISCELLA]

@UncleLoodis Oh you are definitely right poor form yes. He should not be pointing at this guys head but i am sure that it was properly cleared prior to the interview.

[USMCFISCELLA]

@reesie0414 umm thats why whenever you pick up a weapon you always check it. You can "what if" anything for eternity. Also i have yet to hear of someone "palming" a round into a gun show to cause mayhem. Kind of silly don't u think?

[TheOREGON1859]

Oompa Loompa ?

[freezice100]

For those who say that he is allowed to do whatever he wishes as he knows more about firearms than we do and that the gun is not loaded and that it does note even have the firing pin, well... I am sorry by all manners he should be a professional at all times as we look forward to become like him one day, therefore he should always follow the rules no matter what

[TMHonfire102]

this guy need to fix all the Gen4 glocks in 9mm as most all them are having issues!!!!!!!

[2ndAmendmentFTW1]

I would agree that he needs to watch his muzzle if he wasn't using a display model...

[4thirteen]

for whoever says how he should watch his muzzle your an annoyance cause that thing is not even loaded and the firing pin isnt even in it. and i bet he has more firearm knowledge then any of you

[JesterSkywalker]

he shoulda used position sul

[windofthegods]

Long live the 3rd generation!!

[TMHonfire102]

@windofthegods True this!!!!!!

[teddydc2]

i still like the third gen with addition of the new recoil spring

[Tx1911]

Keep the backstraps, ditch the dual spring system ... nothing wrong with the old spring setup.

[slobknoblin]

I'd like to know more about the dual recoil spring.

[1xXitachiXx1]

if he is the "quality control" manager of "test firing" i would presume he knows what hes doing.

[jugglingembalmer]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I would sharply tell him to point the gun down, and if he didn't I would point the gun down for him. It was as if he had never held a gun before in his life.

[Tricksalot]

in reality, its a showroom gun without a firing pin. yeah i know always treat a gun like its loaded, but, these are showroom guns. they were built out of the factory to not be fired.

[sdcaljoe]

I have heard rumors that the Gen 4 Glock 17 is to

"oversprung" with the new dual recoil spring. I have heard that users are reporting problems with misfeeds and stovepipes. Is any of this true ??

[YeuLaKho]

i like Glock

[YooperViking]

god dammit, snowplow man! stop pointing your gun at that midget!

[flabeachcomber]

Wow 5000 rounds. BIG DEAL. I have put over twice that on my Berettas without any type of malfunction. That has to be minimum.

[Evereghalo]

Yea, I call bullshit, on the problems with glock

[lexmark136]

i normaly think glocks look hidious but that thing looks nice!

[Bigjatz]

Only in America!

[diderr01]

I've never had a failure on my Glock 17, and I've put several thousand of rounds through mine. I have yet to replace any part.

[waterchildtera]

5 k rounds ???

that isn't shit

5 days worth of shooting and it needs a rebuild

keep it !

[lallope]

max when someone that tall is next to you grab a chair for you and he/she..try to make it level,,ryr to eye

[alpha9mm]

Yeah, even though the guns safe, I recommend always practicing safety.

[simpleman601]

I love how he's pointing the weapon at the guys face.... safe.

[specialforces99]

@simpleman601

Fuck I know that guy looks like an Idiot! Bad rep for glock!!

[Paulieman64]

@simpleman601 not that its funny but the reporter is so short that it would miss his head, but you are correct terrible way to start a video

[MrBladeDude]

@1antisupercat Guns are never 100% safe. Always treat it as if its loaded

[1antisupercat]

@MrBladeDude well thanks for the pointer like... u think i didnt know that

[MrBladeDude]

@1antisupercat Clearly not. Nice comment removed lmao

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@simpleman601 Dude, they have hundreds of guns on display everywhere for anyone to pick up and point in any direction.. its really not that big of a deal, im sure they are all saf and they know it.

[walleyboy1]

I had a gen 3 glock 22. Had problems with it and sent it back twice. Now glock is sending me a new gen 4 glock 22. Will be in my hands monday.

[jimbo45cal]

what problems?

[GlockAnimal]

The backstraps thing is gay !!!! Why do that !!!

[ericx777]

@GlockAnimal

Because people come with different sized hands?

My 21 fits good in my hand while my wife's 19 is 2 sizes too small... different backstraps gives the single gun several sizes allowing the gun to better fit the users hand.

Worked with the P99, worked with the XD(m)... hell... works with my MIAD's on AR's!

Glad to see the new Glocks taking on that feature.

[bigbluemsp]

They are doing it because Glock owners have screamed for it for a while and then Smith came and started kicking their butts with the M&P with the interchangable backstraps. Losing Police Departments left and right to Smith..

[jimbo45cal]

b/c not everyone has monkey hands

[patrizzi159]

5K rounds WTF

[Thefilthsurroundsus]

I guess SHOT show is firearms safety disregard day?

[Prowler1]

WTH?

just 5000 shots with new dual springs?

isn't 80's Glock17 did hundred of thousands

before spring Fleur???

[ericx777]

@Prowler1

5000 rounds to factory reps equals 50,000 rounds in the real world.

Spring fatigue in both springs would start to be noticeable after 20,000... same with H&K USP's and guns with the Sprinco system in it.

If you can afford 20,000 rounds of ammo... you can afford a $50 replacement spring.

[Prowler1]

@ ericx777

wasn't referring to cost, but to durability. still not explained it for me completely.

[Vicfangio]

I fondled the Gen 4 and basically thought ''so what''. Of course I thought there was nothing wrong with the Gen 3 glocks. I like the more aggressive grip much more than the stupid back strap.

[sgthl]

Why do you think guns tend to get cracks in the frame? That´s right... because the dumbass owner didn´t change a 10 dollar spring on his 500 dollar gun.

Not changing the recoilspring in time has to be the most common "user error" there is.

It cost´s less than a decent meal, what´s the problem?

Compare the price of a recoilspring to the price of a new frame.... kinda makes sense to switch it for a new one once or twice a year doesn´t it?

Even 5K rounds on the same spring is way too much.

[datzitteezy]

If you can only put 5k rounds on that springs then that thing is a piece of shit. Hope that he is wrong about that especially coming from glock. You should only have to replace a spring once as a civilian. Think I would have to order three replacment springs for it.

[bigbluemsp]

Ive got 12,000 on my M&P 45 and the spring holds strong. I have spares (3) in case there's a issue.

My duty gun is a Sig P226 and I have 6200 rounds down it and (5) back up springs just in case after all that gun is my life line on the road.

[datzitteezy]

Yeah I've got the M&P 9mm and the spring on it feels brand new. holds strong and shoots straight.

[yadeyrinii]

Gen 4 is so incremental as to be negligible. That's it? Also, 5K rounds for a spring? The standard spring should be good for about 30K no?

[biggin2155]

agreed. i can put 5,000 rounds through my Glocks in less than a year. I think he was making either a) a conservative estimate or b) he didn't really know what he was talking about.

[scandapoodle]

i like that they changed the grip :)

[heymynameisaj]

5/5* nice

[edwinmichaelquiboloy]

im glad they didn't put the weird slide serrations of the RTF on that new gun

[MrMartyg1000]

Hey Max, watch for weapons pointed at your head...otherwise great job!  I like the new Glock.

[patrizzi159]

5000 rounds wtf?

[ihavesexforhappymeal]

5000 rounds on the recoil spring. What?

[HammerheadWOC]

are you confused on what that is or that its only 5000?

[GhostriderRSA]

Gad, GLOCK could have done a MUCH better job on the Gen 4's... let's hope someone offers backstraps that reduce the hump on the grip... and a recoil spring good for only 5,000-rounds? Still? I thought this was an improvement? ;)

[Lord666Belial]

I am sick of people who bitch about the hump of the grip if you dont like the Glock get another gun.

[myantispambox]

Considering the grip is the #1 complaint about Glocks maybe there is actually something about it that could be improved.

[Lord666Belial]

Like I said if you are going to complain about the gun get a different gun. Personally I love the grip as does THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. There is no reason to change it.

[biggin2155]

try millions... along with several countries and hundreds of law enforcement agencies

[TheHendricks5150]

William needs to watch his muzzle. Most of the time it looks like its pointing at the reporter's head and/or body.

[caltake1]

Yes, because its loaded, they keep loaded weapons at a floor show.

I know its the basics, but hes showing it off, give him a break.

[drethedog]

All guns in the gun show not only are loaded they also have a mandatory round chambered as well...

[TheHendricks5150]

Sorry, I disagree. You should always practice gun safety no matter what the circumstances are.

[caltake1]

Yes, cause thats a great way to show off the gun.

Grow up son.

I'm guessing you never watch action movies cause the actors point guns at eachother.

[TheHendricks5150]

When I am at a gun store and the person behind the counter is showing me a gun, he always uses proper gun safety. Even when I am showing one of my guns to a friend or family I use proper gun safety and correct them politely if they are being unsafe with the gun. You can show off a gun while using proper gun safety.

[XCritonX]

@TheHendricks5150 Have you even met a journalist? He is probably fantasizing about shooing him in the head.
