[K1LLaRoBOtFi5h]

they sell these at best buy surplus in spokane washington for an excellent price.

[MrPhdcandidate]

Nice vid. Thank-God some smart pistol up loaders.

[shademagic1]

lol you're so sick.

[jakob950331]

My favorit glock <3



[twistymcslide2]

1:44 , you really do have big hands. im sitting here with my 30 and your hand has an easy 2" on mine ...

[mars1952]

What do you mean the gun runs out of ammo? You are making a movie right? Everyone knows that guns never run out of ammo in the movies!

[akaitsmedre]

Own this gun. It is awesome. Mine doesn't shoot as well as yours. Lol

[jjkdogg]

This will be my first glock. I'm picking it up this week! So pumped!!

[TheWeskerman]

is 45.acp more expensive than the 9x19 parabellum im 13 but i dont ask about COD or anything, i just want to know XD

[nadskofhqwak]

movin to a shitty neighborhood. friend been held up at gunpoint there twice. gettin one of these soon :D

[Gunacctivist]

I just picked up the g30 three days ago.LOVE IT put 500 rounds through it very accurate and smooth no issues. First glock for me and am very pleased with it.

[itzyaboybugz]

I JUST BOUGHT ON OF THESE TODAY USED VERY CLEAN FOR 550 OTD!! I TURN 21 IN 12 DAYS AND I HAVE 3 GUNS WAITING TO BE PICKED UP AT GUN STORE!! I GOT 9MM SEMI AUTO MAC 11, .22 HIGH STANDARD REVOLVER AND .45 GLOCK 30!! IM MOST EXCITED ABOUT MY GLOCK I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOOT IT!!

[genadnon]

Friggin love this guy! Great video love your style!

[StaggerLeee]

@tubevideoguy762

Rounds smaller than a 45 wont always render your target immobile. Check history. That's the reason the 1911 was commissioned in the first place.

Also, your logic is flawed. A better comparison would be a 5lbs hammer at 20 fps or a 10lbs hammer at 15 fps.

If small rounds could do the job then most police agencies would require their officers to carry 40 and up, and the US military wouldn't be switching back from 9mm to the 45.

[riverrutt]

glocks are awesome

[TEREX9520541]

does the bullets actualy spin?



[TEREX9520541]

i wish you were my dad

[livefreeordie42017]

awesome vid picking up one of these in a month or so

[chapinfeliz]

hehehehe is coming after you....is rare that they attack, but I always ready... I like that.... Regards... Great videos.

[jigsaw183]

Glocks honestly look so square. Like a lego peice. Great vid.

[outdoortv13]

u are amazing

[100tarantino]

cool glocks

[lmcdowall]

That round will kill you sooo dead. That is serious shit there. fucking body dropper.

[K0DIAKJACK]

dumb question.. sorry its a 9 round... duh



[K0DIAKJACK]

where did you get that flush mag for the 30?

[MrLooseSkrews]

Hickok! I need help... I cannot decide for the life of me whether to get a G30sf or a G36. I would like the 4 extra rounds, but I'm sure the G36 if very comfortable. Also, I want to try the Ameriglo +0 tritium ghost ring sights for whichever I decide on. Any experience with them or advice on my Glock decision would me much appreciated. Thanks for all the great videos and thanks in advance for any advice!

[rb2112002]

I hate to call it a large gun, but it is bigger and fatter than a 26/27/33. I love the .45 though. I might get one of these for "high threat neighborhoods". lol

[calockdown]

Cool video man , I wanna get one big time,glocks are cool

[MYbabyGLOCK30]

Ive got the same model glock and have a ghost maker 3.5 lb connector i put in. Any ideas on what i should put in next to make trigger a little smoother pull.

[AngeredKabar]

@MYbabyGLOCK30 More ammo.

All the various fire control surfaces need to be smoothed out and you can do this either with a buffing wheel or by shooting it enough. Check out the 25 cent glock trigger job.

[timbernie]

Herb. Shot a G30 yesterday. Nice. I also own a 21SF. makes those bowling pins fly about 10'. Another thing to remember. CPL and you blast someone. Which do you want to lose? Cops will take your piece. Ya might git it back. What do ya do in the mean time? Another thing. I think everyone should be able to hit a bowling pin at 21'. 5 times in 15 sec. Can't do it. Turn in your firearm. There are a lot of cops that can't hit a silhouette at 21'. And they kill innocent people all the time.

[HerbWalker]

Look at 4:00 time mark, that old frame turned a dark blue from the heat.I was at the range last weekend and fired about 25 -30 shotgun rounds in that NEF Pardner Pump 12 gauge. I went to lay that sucker down and did the BIG No-No. I grabbed that barrel !!! My boy says'Did you burn your hand?" I said,"Naw, just don't take me long to lay my shotgun down!"LOL That SMARTS!!!

[HerbWalker]

I got my American Classic II M1911 and I love it,but Ive been watching your videos and NOW I want a Glock 21 SF. I hear the grip is a little better/thinner than your G21 I watched. I have medium sized hands, but I really like the LOOK of this G30,also. Brother that pistol looks like a Derringer in your big old hands!:) hahahaha Take care & Love the VIDS!

[HerbWalker]

It's all about the MATH, your a teacher,you should KNOW this Hickok45!!! LOL A 230 Grain bullet goes INTO..... a 200Ibs Zombie (1) time.......with NO remainder! :) Class over! I LOVE that big old 'punkin' ball 45! Carried it alot of years in the US Army(I was too lazy to carry an M16,LOL)

[john121154]

That's some mighty fine shootin'! I'm impressed. Do you mind telling me what brand of ammo you prefer for self-defense with your Glock 30?

[tubevideoguy762]

WHAT HURTS MORE A HIT FROM A 20 LB SLEDGE AT 5 FPS

OR A HIT FROM A 12 OZ HAMMER AT 60 FPS??? WEIRD THE

HEAVY FOR CALIBER CROWD DOESN'T SEEM TO OFFER A

COUNTER LOGIC

[parody101pen15]

Ugghhh glock yucky

[Username7260]

the barrel looks thin and cheap :(

[shittyfuck]

now i know you use listerine

[physchohead24]

Just shot a .45 acp today, can't remember what the gun brand was, it was my friends. It was AWESOME

[SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

Life is always good when I'm watching one of your videos!

[samio1231]

muito bom

[oswhiteboymc]

Hickok needs a show on History.

[miafan89]

"It's rare that they attack. I didn't expect to get attacked by a tin can today."

hickok FTW

[dillonpslater]

That thing was wicked hot on the tip at the end! I marvel at why you don't sport the sub compact Glock 39

[popson45]

Two Wives wont allow the purchase of a G30

[hefedehefe]

Try the G29. What do you think?

[LecticProverb]

hickok45, in response to your comment about running out of ammo, you should try the Kriss SMG mags. They're basically a Glock 21 (13) round mag with an extension, for a total of 30 rounds. I have two and I love them.They turn my Glock 30 into the ultimate range toy!

[ladyfeind]

thanks to hickok i just bought one of these lol no joke. i also bought a viridian c5l laser light combo to go on the front. this man has sold more glocks than anybody glock needs to sponsor this guy. lol i'm writing a letter to those goofy germans.

[thefly1236]

Another great gun video from a true knowledgable professional. Keep up the awesome work, Hickok.

[cyborgee1]

I see the front of the slide got heated up quite a bit , is that normal for 45ACP

[butchy586]

@cyborgee1 that was powder residue smart guy

[game1hova]

@cyborgee1 Mine does the same thing... Never had a problem with it though..

[connorg494]

i love your sense of humor. very good video and very intertaining. I am thinking about getting a glock 30 as my concealed weapon when im 18

[michelthegreatable]

nice video hickok. just one question, do you use speed loaders with the glocks? because whenever i shoot a glock at the range i can never top off a mag. especially the subcompact mags. keep up the vids!

[hickok45]

@michelthegreatable , I just load mags down one if I can't get the last ones in easily. 

[butchy586]

@michelthegreatable lift some weights,

[txanarchist]

@michelthegreatable- I had the same problem initially with my G26, but after several range sessions, it becomes easier to load the mags. When first purchased, the speed loader was required for the last 3 rounds, after 3 months, it stays at home when I go to the range.

[KOLIN25]

is this the type weapon that almost took the senators life???

[butchy586]

@KOLIN25 what makes the difference,any gun can take a life.guns dont kill people,people kill people.u can kill a person with a hammer.a gun is just a tool,a tool for self defense or a tool to put food on the table.everybody think about that for second.it wasn't long ago thats the way people looked at firearms,not in todays world though.boy its weird to here from somebody with some sence for a change, isnt it.

[6bad6]

Mr. hickok45 I think there aren't pistols that you can shot bad, it's very diffculty which is the best. Regards

[smuger357]

Its the wise man (woman too) that can learn from anothers experience. and hickok45 has plenty of experience. Watch, pay attention and learn.

[SammysPizza]

Hey, Hickok45 here.

[thatsbovice]

Thank you Glock Doc. You've convinced me to get a Glock 30 for my concealed carry

[bigdollars99]

how is the recoil on the G30?

[TheBassGuitarist1]

@bigdollars99 less than a g27

[Yoakumnator]

You need to be on television.

[JUKEBOXX1990]

@Yoakumnator no way then their would be commercials..hickok45 stays on youtube.lol

[twokings907]

what kind of rubberized grip is on this 30? I wonder if they make one for my glock 36.

Thanks for the videos.

[Vergon3256]

Good job bro

[turtleboyattacks]

thanks for all of your videos.

[TTundragrizzly]

good I always hated LIsterine . Awesome gun and awesome shooting sir. Thanks for posting.

[flybyjbg]

@3RRG... Try again they make the G30 in the slim frame it is the G30SF

[flybyjbg]

Nice use of a .45 ACP as a chainsaw

[McGregor5973]

@tarlcabot2k

ur right, but if u have federal efmj u want them to work.

[watisituya]

hey hickok45 do you know of any conversions for the glock 30 besides 22lr.... Ive heard about a 460 rowland conversion for the 1911 style guns and the xd. but nothing for glock

[McGregor5973]

Thx for the quick answer. Here in Glockland (Austria) we are very limited to handguns. IF you get a permission to own one (very rare, NO chance to get permission to carry), u've to think twice what weapon u will buy.

thx and good bye

[McGregor5973]

Great Vids, with a lot of usefull information. One Question... Whats ur oppinion in the rumors the glock 30 does not develop enough muzzle energy for .45 self defense ammunition. (bullet expendation).

keep it on!

[hickok45]

@McGregor5973 , There are lots of silly rumor about firearms, most of which are based on myth or just gunshop blabber. :-)

[HerbWalker]

Hey Partner! I bought a new pistol and want to see if you can do a review on it for me?

Its a Metro Arms "American Classic II"M1911 45 ACP. Its made in the Philipines and it has all the bells & whistles. This is one hell of a gun.It is only $420 new in the box!!! The fit,finish and reliability are GREAT too! It reminds me of the old rattling Colt I carried in my Army days. Well see if you can for me please.

From one old Tennessee boy to another, Merry Christmas Partner!

[dakidd7891]

look at the tip of the slide at the end of the video. thats heat and steel for ya

[piperboy350]

i cant stand your thumbs dude...are theey flexibile?

[mvallin]

it looks tiny in your hands

[xXBallistic82Xx]

you make that glock 30 look like a keltec 380

[BostonMike87]

Hi Mr Hickok, three weeks ago I just moved to TN from MA and I have been following your videos for a good year and a half. You have educated a lot of people young and old and thanks for devoting your time. I just bought a glock 30 and love it. Id love to spend a sunday afternoon with you and sling some lead. Only 30 mins from Cheetam County:)

[twcbttn]

Love your vids Hick, i just bought my first glock (G30 sf) im kinda a newb to guns and noticed in this vid and on my 30 after i shoot all this what looks like gunpowder residue all over muzzle area of the gun. is that normal?, and why dont i see this on other guns?. Anyone that has a answer i would love to hear . Thanks

[CrackerKen1]

Great pistol. I have the Glock 30SF - and yes, they do make a G30 Short Frame. The 9 or 10 rd mags are quite comfortable with these. Great video Hickok45!

[1benhall2]

Hello Sir, I love your videos! Very informative. You have inspired me to get the Glock 30, I love the big caliber handguns! Ben from VA.

[Robgar13210]

Hi Hickok45 I have been watching your videos for a while and I have learned some stuff about the flocks that I did not know I want to get a glock 27 or 23 for conceal carry which do you think would be better?

[hickok45]

@Robgar13210, The G27 conceals better, but the G23 is easier to shoot well for most people. If you shoot a lot, you'll shoot the G27 well, too.

[McGregor5973]

@Robgar13210 

[XxGLOCK45CALxX]

i've seen most G30's with the mags with the pinkie extention, which usually hold 10 rds. How many rds do the flush mags hold?

[hickok45]

@XxGLOCK45CALxX , Supposedly nine, but that's way too tight for my tastes. I load them with 8.

[3RRG]

It's the glock 30 they don't make SF for something that's already a sub compact.

[usfdude]

@3RRG I have the sf G30.

[Ls3guy]

@3RRG dude i have a glock 30 sf watch my videos im sure you can find it 

[BFerry10]

I bought a Glock 30 after watching Hickok's videos. It is one sweet little pocket cannon. Recoil is moderate. It shoots a little high at 20 yards in my hands but the group is tight. A little on the fat side (compared to a Glock 27 or a Kahr) for inside the belt carry but, it will work. Perhaps my Carhartt pants are just too tight to begin with.

[apomiller12]

Do you think it's necessary carrying JHP's in a .45 CCW gun ?

[danipacheco13]

You're the man! I enjoy your videos a lot and i've been learning quite a few things with them! Cheers from Portugal!

[hickok45]

@lookingdowna45 , It's the standard Glock 30.

[PopsMedlong]

It looks like you use rubber sleeves on your Glocks. We put bicycle inner tubes (2.25) turned inside out, on all of ours. $4 for a bunch. They last about a year with daily carry. If you haven't tried it, you might find it useful. I also put them on the AK's, Beretta's and even the PPK/S.

Glad I found your channel, very entertaining and educational. I appreciate that you don't find it necessary to use coarse language.

[hickok45]

@PopsMedlong , Glad you found the channel. We used to use inner tubes, too, in the early days. Then I went to the Hogue slip-ons for years. Then I tried Decal Grip on my G30, just for kicks. Didn't think I liked it at first, but it grew on me, plus it kept the size of the grip pretty much original. Then I started just cutting the stuff and putting strips where I wanted them. Now, since discovering Talon Grips, I like them the best of everything I've tried.

[hickok45]

@jimkressin , I certainly understand; good to have you aboard!

[hickok45]

@jimkressin , .45 ACP is not quite a toy. :-)

[triton302]

"Empty again. That's the problem with these guns, they always run out of ammo."

Priceless quote!!! haha

[MrLazyboy4200]

nice gun dude

[LastBlastOfMy45]

I believe it's because on the glocks the slide release isn't really intended to be used as such. Just to lock the slide back because it's so small. I was told glocks are meant to be released by doing what he does. Pulling back on the handle. I have the glock 30 and this seems true because u barely have to pull the slide back and it releases. Actually it's easier than trying to mess with that little slide release button.

[potatatty]

Glock 18 FTW

[Likeafoxow]

i rarely see you use the slide release button (you always seem to pull back on the slide to release it). is there any reason why you usually do so?

[MrForeverReal]

Damn that gun is an animal im about to turn 21 i need this one after i get my license

[liameras11]

have you every tried to go auto with a glock?

[gimmeagoodname]

hickok i have a glock 30sf and i have recently ordered a glock 29sf...and was wondering how the recoil compares...i can handle the 30sf just fine, but im a little curious as to how much more the 10mm is over the .45...thanks

[hickok45]

@gimmeagoodname , There's a difference, but you'll be able to handle it. The G30 is sweeter to shoot with a more comfortable recoil.

[xUbastardx]

You got a Mr. Rogers mellow goin on in this clip. Its good.

[MajorDEEDEEDEE]

Faye Valentine's favorite man stopping handgun

[MadBadVoodo]

Thumbs Up and some Money Love my Friend!!

[LucMelo31]

i love you... glock 30 in it's finest... aaah

[Brandon401401]

thumbs up!!!!! love the glock 30

[RROOP3]

where did you get the flush mag for the glock 30? is it the 10rd flush for the 21?

[hickok45]

@RROOP3 , No, it's a Glock 30 flush magazine; it's the only kind I keep. I have bought them at MidwayUSA

[deadshot86]

what is the rainbow on the end of the barrel? is that heat from the 45 cartridge or is it gun oil? see real well at 3:50

[manicdevery]

to those who watch this, at 3:40 he puts his left hand thumb on his right wrist. be leery of doing this for it can bite you pretty bad.

[hickok45]

@manicdevery , Yes, it's not something I normally do. I was sitting in an awkward position, trying to mainly give the camera / viewers over my shoulder a good view, etc. I can't believe I actually did it, but you notice my instincts in keeping my thumb down against my hand so that the slide passed high over my thumb.

You really don't want to ever use this hold. manicdevery is right. In these types of videos I'm doing some strange things; generally this can cause pain!

[mmafan69]

would love to see a video on the g35

[SpartanXConquer]

awesome vid

[TheBigbrad75]

I absolutely love my GLOCK 30. Ever since I got it my GLOCK 23 has been on Night-Stand Duty. I use it for my EDC and it works great with a FRONT-LINE Kydex IWB Holster. By far my Favorite GLOCK! By the way, when I buy my own place I look forward to trying to recreate a range like yours (not featured in this video) I absolutely LOVE your little range.

[pyrolowryder]

hickok45, got any 33 rounders? :)

[NC77583]

WTF is that blue thing on the end of the slide (front end) that you can clearly see on 3:55?!?! Is that burning powder?!?! PLEASE ANSWER!!! Thank you.

[IslandersMets10]

The glock 30 is my every day carry, here in the great southern state of florida.

[crek1]

how much does 1 round cost?

[saj12100]

@crek1 on average $1.05

[MstangMch4]

@crek1 if you get lucky on Factory ammo you can get a 100rd Box of Winchester White Box for $34.95 at Walmart so about 35 cents a round. If you reload your price will be much lower per round

[kingofshrimp]

Do all your Glocks have stock connectors?

[hickok45]

@kingofshrimp , Yes, every single one of them.

[hickok45]

@rohan9621 , I didn't realize I was in an IPSC match!

[Model29Lover]

@rohan9621 I think you need to change your tampon and leave the shootin' up to the men.

[jtmoney606]

i have been thinking really hard about trading in my LCR with crimson trace for the glock30 but its a hard decision for me i love that LCR

[FLATblacktical]

@jtmoney606 I dont know how much the lcr cost, but I'd rather carry a g36 than an lcr. Go handle the 30 before getting it, a lot of people find them rather THICK

[jtmoney606]

@FLATblacktical the LCR is about $415 plus the $229 for the crimson trace but i have held a glock 30 and liked it i dont like the glock 36 cause of the mag rd capacity is so low for a semi auto 6rds is weak

[FLATblacktical]

@jtmoney606 I'm not saying the g36 is the end all pistol. I just like how it feels compared to all other glocks. I don't know why an auto NEEDS more rounds? You must think 1911s are weak too.

[jtmoney606]

@FLATblacktical actually my kimber holds 8+1 with the mags i use cause i have a magwell on my 1911 and yes thats 2 more rds which makes a big difference yeah its still a low rd count gun to be so big but with the way glock does there double stack mags i dont see why the 36 cant hold at least 8 the 27 holds 9 and its the same size gun!!!

[FLATblacktical]

@jtmoney606 With the pearce grip extension that most use on the g36 its 7+1. I'm not trying to argue though. The 36 is the only true single stack glock. It's much thinner than their standard double stack mag config in .45 acp. There are fans of the 30 and fans of the 36. Both are gtg in my book.

[Ringwraith30]

Glocks are my favorite, and always will be, but i was wondering if you would mind doing reviews on any other handguns, preferrably something by Browning?

[Ringwraith30]

@originalxchin 13 rounds he says it in the video but it depends what magazine youre using of course

[DarthByss]

I wouldn't want to fire a .45 in a sub compact. Me personally would like a little more grip if I am firing a .45 slug lol, but I am not as experienced as professor hickok45

[ls1dragracer]

I've been a sig guy for 20 years... Bought my first glock & i'm loving it... Guess what my first glock is... Yep G30...

[Ferrar1GT]

@MrVidAnderson Thanks for the advice. I have leaning towards getting the SW 642 as this would be my first firearm and do not have much expierence with firearms I figured a revolver would be the easiest to use. But I have to admit the G36 has got my attention. Im just wondering if its easy to conceal. I understand it wont be as easy as the SW642 but thats OK. I am going to go to a range and rent a G30 or 36 and see how I like them.

[huttwigley]

Awesome! My dream carry pistol!

[manicdevery]

You have improved my shooting ability, taught history of firearms, plus gave me many hours of fun shooting videos thanks for everything hickok. have a safe and happy 4th.

Devery

[TribTrekker]

Whoa! Is that heat bluing at the muzzle end of the slide? Or just optical illusion from the video optics? Remember guys, Glock is a great tool to convert a bad guy into a "holy one."

[hickok45]

@TribTrekker , I think it's mostly powder residue.

[tnb4mnf]

i hope you dont use firearms to take ticks off yourself

[patriotseven7]

Life is good with Glock Perfection

[Jefro999]

good to see u ready for the illusive attack can, good show Mr hickok

[whylie74]

always with the additional sound effects. love it.

[Gmaker202]

Out of curiosity, have you changed out your guide rod with something other than stock? That's the first thing I did on my 21 SF

[hickok45]

@Gmaker202 , No, I keep the stock guide rods.

[henrycems]

Great video, I think the zombies have been talking with the tin cans. You may need to keep an eye out for them.

[generalcarver]

Love it. Another great close up. Thanks Hickok.

[Ralastar]

Looks like that Glock 30 has seen some love! I noticed the front of the slide has a large heat effected zone!

[kirk0respite]

Whats not to like. It's a Glock !!!

[Tardisius]

They sure run out of ammo fast-

I hope you try out a Kel-Tec PMR30

when available(30 rnd mag)

It's only a 22WMR but some fun.

[hickok45]

@sevendeadly69 , Stock sights work fine. I don't have any problems with the night sights that are on two or three of mine that I bought used.

[NightFly216]

Hey Hickok, nice video. What is your thoughts on the Glock 30SF? Any pros or cons as opposed to the 30? Thanks -

[hickok45]

@NightFly216 , Just depends on your hand size. Otherwise, it's the same gun.

[shadowsteel5]

@hickok45 whats up with the vuvuzela in the background hickok!

[hickok45]

@shadowsteel5 , The what? :-)
