I remember hearing this is also the reason the MK12 SPR has an 18" barrel. they wanted a precision 20" but the army said "nah we already got 20"ers, use the m16 barrels" so they came back and asked for 18"ers and it worked lol.

@@xavierh.5102 this is correct ^ The military isn’t immune to bureaucracy, even SOCOM

So what you are saying is we can use a Glock 17 instead of using a Glock 19

@Ariel Traasdahl you need to get a room for your .357 Sig. 🤣

Very cool!

@@InferiorRifles Jeff Gurwitch here, good video!

@@ModernTacticalShooting thanks 🙏

Nice try, liar. No one in SF refers to it as a "cell."

This goes for pretty much any rifle or pistol issued to SOCOM. Generally, cloners will either use contracted parts to clone an “average” gun of that type, or we’ll clone a specific rifle from one or more reference photos.

@@LiminalSpaces777 like I said in the comment above, you can either build a clone based on a specific list of contracted parts, or you can build one based on a specific reference photo. So to answer your question, no.

Lol I don’t think the Roland Special helped this at all

And it’s been coming out that SOCOM has been moving to the M17 In highly modified versions and AWAY from the Glock.

@@soonerfrac4611 not shocked by that. I tried to like the 320. I really did. Just couldn’t.

The CRF/CRIF guys got stuck with hand me downs from a certain SMU.

Very cool!

That’s because they’re now LE/Military only. Glock is pushing Gen 4’s to official use, and the public gets the Gen 5. Reason being is all the armorers in the agencies would have to be retrained, all inventories would have to be replaced, it’d create a nightmare. So only other way would be to find one in a LGS or private sale. Luckily, I got mine at a LGS and made a bootleg ripoff of a Mk 27 but I feel it’s a very accurate representation of one

I spent many years as an NCO marksmanship instructor teaching rifle and pistol. It was quite easy to correct bad habits when it came to rifle but people seem to have this attitude that they’re still gonna do what they wanna do when it comes to shooting a pistol. They think they know better than the instructors. It’s no wonder their scores always sucked. There’s a reason there are only a few tried and trued ways to shoot a pistol if you want to make reliable hits. If you don’t learn them or you think your way is better, you will miss. My unit was squared away but we often had to run ranges and teach other units. I absolutely hated it. The people we tried to teach never adapted to the training well and never took it seriously. Nothing was learned and nothing was accomplished. It’s amazing but many people in the military don’t actually shoot, train with, handle, or own firearm in their private lives outside of the military. So they never get used to them. If you’re lower enlisted and live in the barracks, you can’t have a firearm. If you live on post in government housing, you can have a firearm but registering it with the Provost Marshall is a hassle. If there are any domestic situations and that gun is mentioned, you could be arrested and kicked out of the military. If you live off post, you can’t conceal carry back and forth to and from post, not since 9/11 anyway. You’re not supposed to. It’s a big mess. All these rules are in place. The people who are supposed to protect freedom are less free than everybody else.

I went back and looked at that pic. How was he even holding that gun? Amazing!

That can be said about most US soldiers. I’m starting to believe that the government just requires warm bodies over proficient warriors.

@@durrtybuck8949 Starting to believe? That’s all they ever wanted. Young, dumb, obedient, strong, and brainless. When I finally figured out what was going on, 15 years had already passed.

What is a “Pro” version? Does it say “Pro” on the box or the gun as an official Glock designation or is that just a term that the finnish Glock importer decided on for the threaded barrel models?

The reason G19's in Finland all have threaded barrels is because without it, it goes into 'taskuase' ('pocket pistol') category by a few mm. I think it's because of Glock's different grip angle, since most other handguns of the same size don't need the threaded barrel to be okay (CZ P10C for example)

@@Bisley1 Pro isn't mentioned on the box or engraved on the pistol. I've been told they came from factory like this, per importer order.. Barrel is Glock original.

@@NP-cq3vb Yes and no. Barrel does work as suppressor mount and G19 with B&T Compact is pretty handy package.

@@NP-cq3vb interesting. Glock had or has a similar thing in the US with import pistols. That is why the G26 comes with adjustable sights and the compacts and subcompacts have trigger serrations. Apparently there is some kind of check list that includes features and dimensions and each gun needs to tick so many, to still be considered a sporting gun and be imported into the US.

The Delta Point is a great option too, I didn’t mean to imply that the RMR was necessarily superior. They both have pros and cons

Big clear glass windows with super crisp dot and edge to edge clarity. RMRs are very blue spectrum glass to get better battery life from a masked LED emitter and they have edge distortions. They are SUPER durable though. Each optic has its place.

I've heard from different sources that the 14.5mm barrel is superior over the 1/2×28 one because it doesn't back out when firing. Have glocks with both types, never noticed a difference between them. Neither has backed out even the slightest. 🤷‍♂️ But honestly, it's just a swap of the actual piston. AFAIK, it's really just a preference/ availability thing. OEM threaded barrels for glock are rather rare for any model, and most after markets use the standard threading. Also, if you're looking for a standard threading barrel, Bear Creek Arsenal and Brownells make pretty solid barrels that are budget friendly... at least they were when I bought mine.

@@lincolnpascual interesting observation. I happened to stumble over the thing on GemTech’s website one day and jumped on it. Now I just wish there more available for the Glock 48

@@gtcam723 48... hmm. Is the locking block for the 48 different from the 19? I don't have a 48, so I can't compare, but if you have both models, you should check it out. I know 17 and 19 barrels aren't cross compatible because the lock blocks are different, but glock makes most of their numerous models cross compatible with other models of similar size... 9mm and 40 cal barrels are interchangeable, 380 and 357, and i think the 10mm and 45 are also interchangeable (but i might be wrong about that one. I've don't the 40cal/9mm swap numerous times across 17 and 19 frames, so i know those for sure work. Look into it though, maybe you get lucky and can use a 19 barrel in your 48?

@@lincolnpascual the muzzle hole in the slide is smaller as is the barrel OD

@@gtcam723 oh damn. That's a bummer. Well, if the usual sites don't have em, ebay sometimes does. There are a bunch of reputable custom barrel shops that sell on ebay. It's a hit or miss thing though in availability. Best of luck finding one. Every time i sell a sale on barrels, i try to buy at least a couple, just to have spares for other builds or replacements. Wish i could help further.

I'm salty the m17 is soooo top heavy

Yep if it wasn't for the fact that Glock wanted more money for accessories..... It would be to this day.

Surefire masterfire probably.

SilencerCo 1/2X28 with the black finish. It should be noted that the trials suppressor in the reference photo used a stainless piston.

The Glock 45 has a 17 (full size) length grip.

As with all US military small arms, they will typically be cleaned after every shooting session or exposure to the elements if/when possible. They may not necessarily need to be cleaned that often, but the military takes a uniform approach to weapon maintenance for the most part.

Because they have a shorter service life

And I’ve also heard they’re not that much more effective than the regular ones

The don't work that well

@@InferiorRifles this, the service life/change interval is around half the standard cups and they have no appreciable benefit over the standard ones. If there's a difference under water i've never noticed it in testing. Maybe if the sample size was larger there would be. If you've got a pool handy try it, it's pretty fun. 9mm only goes like 4-8' underwater. I tried the oem maritime cups once(different 19) and they deformed after around 2,000 rounds to the point where it was jamming up the firing pin's movement.

They’re not the best suppressor hosts in existence, but they work fine assuming the gun/piston assembly is maintained frequently

Silencerco was not taken seriously by DOD. They are considered a niche commercial supplier, whose facilities, funding, production and supply capability are marginal at best.

I have seen photos of a data matrix engraved on the bottom of the trigger guard of a MK27, although I don’t know exactly when that change was implemented. As for the slide, there are no differences in the markings though it should be mentioned that the Mod 2 is made in the USA (as opposed to Austria).

@@InferiorRifles thanks. I knew there had to be something to indicate it.

The MK27 is not intended to be holstered suppressed.

Still a few months out. Edit: it’s on its way back from RBA

@@InferiorRifles nice. I'm looking forward to seeing the completion video.

Not that I’m aware of.

Those were used exclusively by JSOC and were purchased at a unit level, therefore they didn't need approval from big Army. The MK27 program was for all of SOCOM, therefore it did.

@@InferiorRifles then how did i come up on some on Ft. Benning????

@@sancfireactual307 What time frame?

@@JEJAK5396 2012 RRC and regiments sniper sections had been using Gen 3 glock 19’s and 22’s for a few years before that. 22’s being more prevalent. Probs because of JSOC. But they existed.

Cloning is the hobby of building firearms that replicate issued service weapons

Lowest bidder. That met the standard.

The cost per performance for a Glock can’t really be beat. I’m betting you’ll start seeing m17/m18 replace SOCOM Glocks as they fall out though. From an acquisition stand point they’re “free” to SOCOM from big army so they won’t have to buy glocks with unit funds. And from the factory they can do all the stuff these SOCOM Glocks do. Optics plates, modular grips, mag wells, threaded barrels. All user serviceable and changeable.

@@jamesgarrison5546surprised more companies haven't gone for Sig's FCU style system. It seems like the future of handgun end user customization.

I personally wouldn’t try to holster this with the suppressor attached. End users will typically attach the suppressor after drawing the pistol from the holster, assuming they choose to carry the suppressor in the first place.

I have to agree, you don't "holster" suppressed pistol, in war you already know how your going in...even if it doesn't work out

I’ve only heard of older STI 2011’s being used by Delta, though the US Marshal SOG Team now uses a Staccato P Duo with a Delta Point Pro and Surefire X300U.

So to clarify… this looks like a Roland Special minus the one defining characteristic of a Roland Special?

@Chano Leyva exactly. Give me the opposite set up. Glock 17 slide on a 19 frame.

Someone didn’t watch the whole video.

Could've been a possibility.

Not of the MK27. There have been Gen 5 Glocks seen in use by SF though.

Well, one is a designation for a gun used by SOCOM, and the other is a dead fad.

Generally speaking, users don’t holster a suppressed pistol. They would carry the suppressor in a separate pouch and attach it as needed after drawing the pistol from a standard holster, which would vary anywhere from a Blackhawk Serpa to a Sarfariland 6004 or a more modern ALS model

Trex arms makes dropleg suppressor holsters. But surprisingly the armpit position works quite well for a suppressed handgun.

@@50shadesofcerakote I love Trex arms ♥️

@@50shadesofcerakote I’m aware, but I wouldn’t consider the ragnarok-sd a “duty” holster. The pistol isn’t secure enough, Lucas himself has said this much

I'm partial to any pistol with a paddle mag release.

Try to service it yourself or try to get parts for it, good luck with that!

Roland specials typically have a compensator

I prefer to have the light sticking out. It’s a good stand off device. Just in case if an intruder or assailant gets too close, you could press it against them without pushing your slide out of battery. That way you won’t have a dead trigger.

@@TerranPlanetaryDefenseForce Represent!

Yeah a trl-7 would look so much better.

I’d believe it, Gen 3 19’s were used for quite a while before the Gen 4’s were acquired and given the “MK27” designation

That may be the one positive feature on the XD’s.

I’m sorry man but XDs are absolutely terrible guns. They don’t meet the MRBS or MRBF of any contract I’ve ever seen. Which is why they’re not purchased by any units and they’re not allowed for most LE departments that follow the testing.

@@jamesgarrison5546 I've never heard or seen anyone ever have any issues with XDs. hell, you can fire 45 Super out of an XD with slight modification. Something I'm pretty sure you can't do with Glock, at least not long term. Also, the requirements for a contract doesn't have to completely do with durability or accuracy. I imagine a lot of units just don't want a grip safety especially because honestly, LE caters to the lowest common denominator of recruits.

@@saurelius5217 XD was dropped from MHS trials because they were so unreliable. In the first round of testing.

@@GPOLICE I'm not one to not admit when I'm wrong and would concede if proven wrong. That being said, Yeager is a moron and a hypocrite. The man bitches about how 1911s are obsolete junk and than goes to a factory where they make 1911s and praises the company.

Right? The light? Ok....the threaded barrel and suppressor? Meh not sure. I honestly never got the point of pistol suppressors. They still make a pretty decent noise unless you are using subsonic ammo.....

And the replacement HK Mk 24!

*Roland Special. And not really, the key feature of a Roland is the compensator, which the MK27 doesn’t have. It’s just like any other Glock with a red dot and a flashlight.

Gen 5 all day everyday. I just never liked the finger grooves. Wish the Gen 4 never had those.

@@DocMitchell69 I prefer Gen 4 is immensely because of the grip texture and recoil spring. I also love the finger grooves. Which is why I purchased as many gen 4S as I can get my hands on after the Gen 5 came out. So many idiots were dumping theirs just to get a Gen 5. Also New Gen 4 was going to be going away after Gen 5 got popular.

@@napalmstickylikeglue Oh yeah, I think the Gen 4 was a massive improvement on the Gen 3. My fingers are juuust too fat to fit in the finger grooves comfortably, but the mag release was a perfect addition for my short and fat thumb. All in all, I think they should’ve just made the Gen 4 with and without finger grooves to appeal to both parties. But of course in classic Apple like fashion, Glock had to milk their pistols as much as possible with incremental changes.

Really? That's crazy because I have the complete opposite preference. I own them both and enjoy shooting them but I always grab a 17 before I leave the house.

Could you feel your IQ rising as you typed that?
