am I the only one who thinks the glock 17 looks nice since its so simple.

I really dont understand why so many people hate the looks of Glock pistols. I think the glock 17 is the best looking pistol to ever exist. Simple, yet still badass.

This guy is the American dream

I think Glock pistol is the best example of how simplicity and awesomeness go hand in hand.

I carried one for over 15 year as a street cop....Best gun ever made in my opinion!

As a ex military and a sharp shooter ,You Sir have my respect for shooting like a pro and being modest about it.Great trigger manipulation and recoil control. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Sometimes, I think he misses a shot or two on purpose to make the rest of us feel better.

My old man was my go to for all gun advice for 38 awesome years, but he died last month. He left me with approx 40 different firearms. Some were gifts through the years the others I inherited. I was never raised around the polymers but have fallen in love with a few of them latley. Simplicity is stylish to me, more accurate than I am and very practical. Oh thats right, I was commenting to say that I really enjoy listening to Hickock talk.

I'am little bit proud of my country Austria

I still own my glock 17 gen 1. Bought it in 92. I carried it as an LEO but now it lives in the safe. I'll keep it until the day I'm no longer on this earth.

That shooting range is so beautiful!

The sound of the glock 17 firing is so satisfying👍🏻👍🏻

Hickok, Just bought my first Glock based on lots of research concluding with this video. Bought a brand new Gen4 17, lubed it how you recommend, and just returned from the first outing. Absolutely could not be happier. 0 malfunctions, unbelievable out of box accuracy. I shoot this better than a beretta 92A1. Im a officially a Glock fan. Thanks for the great vid

Ever notice how glock haters complaints never involve the function of the gun, just the way it looks or feels. They can't say it doesn't work. I'm with you hikok ,

Glock 17 is my favorite pistol.

I have learned so much from your talks and You have talked me into a 19 Glock for my updates in my over 25 year old collection! Thank you so very much!

My first hand gun I ever owned, I love my glock 17

How can people complain about another Glock video? This is Hickok45. The occasional Glock video should be expected. Actually, I think it's been a while. Good to see the G17 join the ranks.

dude, you really love that piece! the expression of joy on your face right after shooting it, is indescribable!,,, great one bro, keep shooting more of these videos, you really make us happy to watch you shooting all those nice and beautiful guns! :)

The simplicity of the Glock 17 and the boxy nice comfortable feeling of it makes it one of my FAVORITE looking guns!

God, you're such a good marksman....

Just some info I’ve acquired during Glock Armorer Training and use of my own Glock 17 Gen 4. • They now fire each gun 7 times and should include 2 of the shells in an envelope with the gun • They use Blazer AL in most of the common calibers. • The copper lube they use on the guns from the factory is no longer necessary and they stopped doing it for a while. There was one guy at the factory responsible for this. After they stopped, they got complaints and they stated applying it again. I think it had something to do with the change in finish from the Tennifer process to the Nitration process they use now. • They don’t recommend using nitrate based solvents, as it can discolor the Nitration finish. It can be fixed by merely rubbing in some gun oil. Otherwise they say you can use any lube or cleaner specified for gun use. • They do recommend that you field strip, clean and lube a brand new gun. They tell you not to take the copper off, but since it really isn’t required anymore, then it should hurt anything. • The only place you shouldn’t lube a Glock is inside the magazine and in the firing pin channel. • Out of my multitude of firearms, I have only 3 that have performed flawlessly, my G17, AK-47 and my S&W Model 66 and all with over a 1000 rounds or more through them. I have a pretty good AR, but I have had a few type II failures in the 1000 rounds I’ve shot through it. • I’ve taken apart almost every firearm I own and the Glock is by far the easiest and simplest firearm to field and detail strip and reassemble. One more thing, I don’t think people appreciate how good a shot you are. You make it look easy, but I know that what you make look so easy, is really hard for most people. Myself included.

Honestly, Hickok. I am enjoying all your videos as they come, and when they stop (for whatever reason) you WILL be remembered fondly. Stay safe out there everyone! and much love! Greetings from Phoenix.

Glocks are sexy not ugly

A great in depth report. I was undecided about weather to get a 17 or 19, I believe the 17 is for me. Thanks for helping me out. I love how you just have so much fun during your videos!

I bought my first Glock in 1986. I still use it today and it has also been my duty carry weapon. Works great!!

I have been watching his videos since he started, and I just barely realized something...the enjoyable report of the weapon is largely due to the range, the trees, everything that sends the sound back and creates that lasting echo.

I love the knowledge you are giving on this 17. Definitely like how your teaching us and showing us at the same time while having fun

Probably my favorite video of yours... watched it a couple times and just really enjoy your enthusiasm for the 17 ! I ordered mine and am anxiously awaiting its arrival.

hickok's video made me choose my glock21 gen4, love it and love this channel!

Freaking love my gen 4 glock 17. Personal carry and doing security work with it. Over 1500 rounds and still works like a champ

This dude is one of the best marksman with a channel. Whenever I go to buy a new gun I check out Hickok45 and his opinion! Subbed!

its about time !!! I've been watching since your very first video, though I haven't watched all of your vids, (near impossible) I must say its GOOD to see a Glock video from you again.... !!! keep on keeping on...

When I first saw a Glock pistol that a friend of mine bought when they first came out compared to a let's say Smith and Wesson 9mm. Or Colt , I thought the Glock looked like a Station Wagon compared to a Corvette! But over the years the look of the Glock 17 Gen 4 to me is a comparison to a Land Rover or a Military Hummer! The reason for that is because compared to "ALL" other gun's, a Glock will save your ass long after like you say a zombie apocalypse scenario is over and the other brands are being recycled into engine blocks! And I quote " They Just Shoot " And keep shooting and shooting and shooting!!! So needless to say, I think their a piece of engineering excellence. That's all I have to say about that.

Your the man Hickok your such a humble dude and your so full of knowledge and experience thank you for all you do for us… happy holidays 🌲🎉🥳🎊🗽

What a GREAT video, prob best of all Ive seen from you Hickok45! Thank you! Picking up a 17 tomorrow!

Glock so simple, so efficient, so reliable, looks so nice and tactical, ready to go when you need it. Most trusted gun in the world.

I can’t thank you enough for this video! You are perfect in your presentation from the unboxing/cleaning to the end of video. Loved the history lesson on Glock. I’m thinking about buying a handgun (after 30 + years of a gun free household) for personal/home protection and have been doing some research on the best tools for that. Glock name and Glock 17 comes up in every article. I think you nailed it down for me! Thanks a million!

I remember the first time I fired a Glock. Ten years old, I never even heard of a semi automatic pistol. All I known was rifles, shotguns and revolvers. My Uncle. A Marine. Opened my eyes to a new world of firearms.

Hey Hickok, I'm up in Canada. I love your videos and have just purchased my first Glock. A Glock 17 gen 4. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for all of your wisdom and experience. I appreciate all of your comments. The positive and negative ones.

I have this gun and love it. Smooth, easy to use

The glock 17 should be the official side arm of the us military.

Just bought my first Glock 17 because of this video. Great work explaining everything Hickok!

Absolutely my preferred Glock for Home-protection,..the weight and longer barrel makes it super accurate and with weekly practice you have a buddy which NEVER will let you down !

Great to stumble on this video. I was lucky enough to decide on a Glock 17 Gen 4 for my first pistol a little over 18 months ago. I chose Glock mainly because of their reputation for reliability and ease of breakdown and maintenance, being a novice and all. I say lucky because none of the gun shops in my area offered guns for rent before making a purchase decision. It's been a great treat to shoot. Out of the box I was able to put ammo downrange on center mass anywhere from 15' to 50 yds. One other Glock I've had the pleasure to shoot recently was the new G41 .45ACP. On a recent trip to Florida to visit a friend we decided to take a trip to a local indoor range that offered free rentals with an hr of paid range time & 100 rounds. The G41 has a dual stage recoil spring that does a great job managing kick and letting you get back on target quickly. Honestly, I think it hardly kicks more than my G17 9mm! As with my 17, I found I was able to put lead on paper/center mass from shot one. I hope to add the G41 to my collection soon. I'd like to see your review of the 41, if you haven't already done so. Lawrence Black

My first gun - the Glock 17 Gen4. Love it!!!!!!!

OG’S Say That Hickok45 is The GOAT KZfaq Channel that loves reviewing and testing out firearms

They showed some of your videos in my pistol permit class. Shows how well you know your stuff!

damn those were some sick shooting!...respect!

I bought one of these for the first time last week and I gotta say the hype these guns get is legit I was nailing about 90% of my shots during my first 50 rounds not trying to brag but get this gun you won't regret it best 500 I ever spent

Never a bad or dull video. Thanks Hickok45

Just got this gun as my first and I'm in love with how clean it is.

Just bought my first gun and I chose the G17. I'm so excited for my waiting period to be over!

"Is it real time? I think it's kinda real.." HAAHA I love Hickok's humor

I love this guy,,, he doesn't fyck around,,, knows his way around artillery and ammo,. Got a new sub here,,that Glock is sweet.

Thanks for sharing ! Love tour Channel! Been subscribed for years!

Its my favorite glock model

Gen 4 G17 is my EDC. Love it.

Picking up my G17 gen 4 tomorrow! Really excited! Your video made me choose this over the 19 :)

I love how he always clears them, like 24/7. Definitely sets a really good example of how to treat a firearm. And how he keeps the muzzle downrange always. I try and do follow his example when I’m shooting. I’m always alone when shooting but I still behave as though there’s a bunch of people near me, and keep it pointed in a safe place.

I live in England and of course we are not allowed guns and I know bugger all about them but your videos are filled with information and I find it very interesting.

Gonna get the Gen 3, like the grips better. Awesome weapon, the 17 started it all. Excellent video Mr. Hickok45😀

Bought a g17 gen 5. The feel, the recoil, the 30 rd mag (my preference) it all comes together to beautifully

Another great review sir! I just ordered one today. My first Glock, probably the first of many. I ordered a 4th mag, wish I would have seen that extended magazine first. Now I'm on the hunt for some lol.

I’m impressed with the 9mm knocking over those rams at that distance. I have a Glock in 9, 40 and 45. May start carrying the 9.

Is the 17 legal...how long till it turns 18?

i love the reliability and look of the gun. And on top of everything its so easy to understand.

Great video as usual and it is a perfect design!

25:50 That’s some good shooting, satisfying to watch 🔫 i recommend this weapon

thanks so much :) now i know how to clean My glock 17

The love this guy has for guns the way he handles each component 😂 is love to hand out with him I feel like I need to give my glock 17 a good clean down now

As a British Infantry soldier I was lucky enough to get on a 8 day shooting course with the Police Tactical Firearms Unit based in Maidstone, Kent. Such a excellent weapon and I am very envious of those who can own and shoot one of these when they wish.

I love my Glock 17 good video.

This video was perfection! Here's another THUMBS UP!!!

I love the full size Glocks, especially the 21 with finger grooves. I always lube up all the contact surfaces with EWL 3000 prior too shooting & then clean it after 50 to 100 rounds. Also wipe the outside with oil or Balistol for long term storage.

It must be so fire shooting in that range. I see you Shooting and it’s looks so fun. Thanks for your videos.

This guy is really living the life man

I've been shooting a Glock 17 most of my adult life. It has always been rock solid and reliable for me. I have only had a couple of feed issues, which was actually caused by bad ammo. The ammo was old and not stored well. Some of it was sunk in to the casing. Some of it was tarnished and looked like shit. It was easily over a decade old and a few of the rounds just didn't have the kick to fully cycle the slide. Besides that, which was one time at a range and maybe 3 rounds, I've never had a problem with a Glock. (I own 3 of them at the moment.)

I have been wanting a Glock 17 since they first came out and finally bought one, in fact the same one you have. Your video inspired me to break down and buy one. Best gun decision I have made in a long time. I looked at the gen 4 and 5 but like the finger grips on the 4. great video I have learn more about my new gun, I enjoy all your videos. Thank You.

I have 3 glocks but my original 17 will always hold a special place in my heart. (48 is my new fav tho)

I remember in the 80's seeing this gun for the first time and saying to the the guy behind the counter that I would never own a tupperware gun . Man did I eat those words . I bought a Gen 2 Glock 17 in the early 90's and never looked back. I love good revolvers and 1911's I would put this Glock 17 up against any gun made. Haters can Hate but I still love my Glock Especially my 17.

Love your videos. Full of info and even a laugh every now and then. It would truly be an honor to shoot with you sometime.

The thing I love about Glock handguns is they are designed to FUNCTION. They aren’t there to win a beauty contest…they are there to WORK. When I got my G17, I fully cleaned it before shooting it. That copper lubricant looks almost identical to copper anti-seize compound. It’ll lubricate the gun, but it isn’t a dedicated gun oil or grease (I use a combination of Hoppes oil on mine with MPRO7 gun grease on the slide rails). I have a Gen 3, have about 3K through it with no issues. When I clean it, I use an ultrasonic cleaner, so it still looks like new.

This guy is all American .... respect from Poland. I have uncle in Usa, Chicago; like these video

Even doe this a old video I love every single one of them 💯🇺🇸

Keep the glocks coming. I just bought me glock 17. Awesome gun.

Eye-candy for sure. "Fresh eye's" on Glock's inception was a great fun-fact too @ 14:50. Thanks. - N Idaho -

I have these one a its very good pistol, thank you for your competition and shooting Hickok

Great video! I love the Glock 17. I only wish we could own them in the UK as easily as in the USA

Such a nice side arm. Such an iconic shape. Great video :)

wow! im amazed by that long range shooting accuracy.

One lf my favorites... Thanks for the video.

Just purchased a G17 this weekend, thanks for the review

"quick clean the glocks! hickock45 is coming" said hickock45s local gun shop owner.

Great video as usual. Keep it up , God bless yalls, and marry Christmas.

I love my G17 honestly best purchase I’ve made. Any gun I buy I make sure you have reviewed it first.

Bought one! Love it!

I've finally been converted. I couldn't resist the Glock 17 Gen 4.

Perfect right out of the box. Just got a brand new model 19 Gen 3. Took it out in the desert and put a couple mags through it, perfect right out of the box. Doesn't need any aftermarket anything

The best dry humor that can be found anywhere
