 Hey there friends thanks for checking in it's time for another handgun showdown where the viewers of this channel decide which manufacturer produces the better handguns. This time it is a bit different we have Glock versus Glock clones and I think this will be tight because there are so many strong feelings on each side of this issue but before we get into that we have to report the results for the last handgun showdown which featured FN versus Springfield Armory and once all of the comments came in and there were many FN took it many people love FN Firearms Springfield was well represented but in this showdown FN took it but I think we have a good one today I can't wait to get into it so let's do it let's begin with Glock and we'll start right here with the Glock 19 this is a Gen 4 model it used to be Glock's most popular handgun I'm sure it's up there the 19x or the 43x may have taken that spot but the very well respected Glock 19 remains a strong contender in any category in terms of compact size handguns 15 round mags it will accept the larger cap mags and it is known for reliability many torture tests this model here has sustained no problem it is very reliable people love the Glock 19 many people carry the Glock 19 and it is a very nice shooter extremely reliable we'll run any type of ammunition does have a five and a half maybe a little heavier trigger pull very familiar trigger pull often modeled and here is the reset all right we've got a four inch barrel there a accessory rail this one has night sights and overall it carries well it's a nice shooter people love Glock this 19 seems to set the standard for so many other compact size handguns when I when I get a compact size I always compare it with the Glock 19 because everybody seems to know the specs and the shooting impressions of the Glock 19 I've often considered my favorite Glock to be the Glock 26 3.4 inch barrel essentially the same gun it's just in a smaller package comes with 10 round magazines all right and this too will accept the larger you like to throw that 15 round mag I could throw a 33 round 9 millimeter mag in and it'll work just fine same trigger pull all right five and a half to six pounds with the reset right there the reason I love this Glock is because this was the baby Glock this was the one that really started the double stack subcompact 9 millimeter handgun craze if you will and Glock did a great job with it and it's extremely reliable for a subcompact gun it sure is accurate and I've always enjoyed it I continue to and I hold this gun in high esteem but now we've got the Glock clones they are very similar but different in their own way many people say this is what Glock should have been but Glock does hold the standard width aftermarket parts and accessories let's start with the lone wolf arms LTD lightweight tactical defense 19 here it is they use their own frame it's a timber wolf C frame a little more vertical grip angle very similar trigger pull six and a half pounds and Glock 15 round magazines so I mentioned six and a half pounds right there with a reset very similar to the Glock 19 you'll notice right away it does have lightning cuts forward serrations a two slot pick rail cuts in the slide make it look nice lone wolf barrel it does have extended takedown levers magazine release extended slide stop uses the Glock sights but I took this to the range and it really fires nice I am very much impressed with it goes about 700 bucks and people were buying these up when it was first introduced a couple months ago but over here we've got the 80% arms GST9 flat dark earth it's also available in black and odi green also uses the Glock 15 round mags this has slide cuts as well check that out optic ready cut to fit a trigicon rmr or hollison 407 check out that grip texturing additional back straps that also beveled down a little bit so you can put the larger bag in there if you choose sort of bottles after the 19x undercut in the trigger guard and about a six pound trigger right here very Glock like much like the lone wolf arms a full pick rail there forward serrations it does have a fluted four inch barrel scallops on top of the slide a beautiful looking and shooting handgun I took this to the range and I was so impressed both of these very much impressed the longevity of Glock is it modeled after these I guess we have to put some more rounds to be sure but they sure do function nice and they are both feature loaded so which of these best fits you are you a Glock traditionalist who says give me the Glock I know what I'm getting I'll enjoy the aftermarket parts and accessories and expect extreme reliability or do you want it all for a little bit more money but most of it already included do you trust the Glock clones as much as you do the Glock that's the question I'm wondering what you would go for would you go for Glock or the Glock clone be sure to comment I'll report the results back with the next handgun showdown if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate the thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
