I like how Tommy Lee Jones' entire career also tells the Glock story.

I think the most impressive thing about Glock, is he’s an engineer that didn’t make something unnecessarily difficult to work on 😂

At 53 I remember when Glocks came out and NBC was demonizing them as 'pistols almost completely made of plastic' per Brian Gumble. Now I am enjoying my 3rd P80 build. Thank you for the video, and thank you Mr. Glock.

Rest In Peace Gaston Glock. You will be missed.

The genius part is when he he doesn't know anything about firearms, gets practical knowledge about its function, then goes to his target demographic to build something that caters to their needs. In the year of our lord 2023, we have an enormous amount of companies that still don't get this, and push nonsense that we don't want on it. Like everything touchscreen in cars, for example.

Lucas must be really stressed, he looks alot older now

In Glock Armorer School, they explained that Gaston Glock only built 4 (!) prototypes before "Perfection" emerged as the G17

The beauty of a glock is that it works everytime, but for me nothing fits my hand better than a 1911. So I have both

Glock is officially in the same category as the M1911 and AR-15. Ascension from gun to platform.

The history, future, and motto of Glock is make small changes and mix & match said changes for each generation. "Change nothing, but if you must make changes make sure they came from a past Gen Glock." -Gaston Glock

The thing I love about this channel is that it’s not just guns and gear information heavy, it’s history heavy. You learn why, when, and how, everything came to be. Love it.

Shadow systems also has a program that will replace your pistol if you used yours in a self defense shooting. (since yours will likely be evidence and you may not be getting it back.) Very cool and I would say definitely shows their mission of arming people for self defense.

This man is the best part of TRex’s YT content.

I don’t care what folks say… I’m sticking with my Glocks, zero need for anything else.

As a former LEO, I am predictably a Glock Guy, to such an extent that I became my former department's Glock Armorer. The first US law enforcement agency to adopt the Glock, as pointed out in the Barrett book, was the Colby Kansas Police Department, from which I live 35 miles away. My initial duty gun when I first entered LE was an H&K USP40, which I bought from my department when we transitioned to The Glock 22 in 2000. At that time, bought a model 27 which was carried as my backup, and which I still carry to this day (I also bought the G22 when I left the department). I am a big fan of the gun, and found this to be an excellent video which should be shown at the beginning of each Armorer's course. Well done, sir.

Everyone in my military unit carried a Colt 1911. So, when I showed up to the range with my brand new Glock, they all said," A plastic pistol? It will never make it, it will fizzle out." Then I let them shoot it. The rest is history. Glock is indeed, perfection. Like it or not. It's the most reliable gun ever. Period.

Glock 1 was a doorknob. Glock 2 was the curtain rod. Glock 15 was the entrenching tool.

Gaston Glock is a time traveler who successfully pulled off the Biff play from Back to the Future - change my mind.

I appreciate all the time and research that was put into this Glock video (while still making it fun to watch). Love all the T-Rex Arms educational vids! Glad to see a shout out to PSA, they are doing some great stuff!

I'm a retired Marine and I own some nice all metal handguns that shoot extremely accurate and look beautiful , but if I ever had to hit the road again with my plate carrier on and carrying a rifle and pistol, that pistol would be one of my Glocks . The combination of weight, durability , reliability and capacity make it the most practical.

Isaac can make any subject aound interesting and engaging. Makes me wonder what his own channel would do.

Isaac always provides awesome and stimulating content. Keep up the great work.

I love these “fire side chats”. More please 🙏

I thought I’ve seen every Tommy Lee Jones movie. I was wrong. And thanks for adding a Glock history lesson. Twofer!

As I have said before, I love your guys content. Facts and a complete explanation of the subject matter in every sense.

As a teenager I owned a Remington Nylon 66 rifle. It worked great, never failed, and yeah, most of the exterior was made out of plastic. I lived in the Mojave Desert, and we could pretty much drive out any dirt road and go shooting. I have no idea what I did with it but I sure wish I still had it. It is a classic! It was manufactured for 30 years!

Great video man, love watching you guys. Ordered a few things from you and will continue to be a customer!

Love what you guys are doing. Your products and your content are unmatched.

always grateful for the time and energy put into researching and delivering this content. can’t wait to hear about the p38.

Congratulations on this great vlog, an exciting story. I bought my Glock 17 Gen 1 second-hand in 1988. I have fired thousands of shots over the years, both plinking and match shooting, without ever a malfunction. My Glock is all original except for the lighter on the trigger and the skateboard tape on the handle. It's so good I've never needed to change it. I may purchase a Gen 5 in the future to have the ability to mount a red dot sight. I only had a bureaucratic problem with the 17-round magazines because, in Italy, where I live, the government had thought of and made a law to reduce the capacity to 15. Then, fortunately, it changed its mind.

Having owned multiple Glock handguns, my favorite will always be the Gen 3 G19.

Trex never disappoints with their movie clips.

Never get tired of hearing Tommy Lee talk about Glocks

Thank you for the history and future of the platform. Always a pleasure to listen in and learn.

This is an amazing video, it kept me interested for the entire 30 minutes. I would love to see more content of this style on the channel. Not that I don't enjoy the more usual content regarding shooting, gear, and the like. But the historical, educational, and analytical approach to firearms is every bit as important as the use and functionality of them. Knowledge and comprehension of these tools are, in my opinion, critical to the effectiveness of their use.

I never get tired of learning more about my favorite platform! Thanks Isaac! Y'all stay safe and keep shooting 🤙

I love these videos, Isaac. Keep educating us in a fun way!

I love this! I really like the variety of content. I usually hate long videos, but these I can watch. Thank you for the fun vid.

"A glock 7 porcelain gun"... The 80s were right around the time when airplane hijackings were a huge fear. The idea of an "invisible to x-rays" gun was very stupid but it fed into the anti-gun sentiment. Even at the time it was pointed out that all firearms have some kind of metal in them. The bullets, springs, screws, barrel, all things that show up on x-ray machines.

Thank you for continuing to produce thoughtful, informative and insightful videos. Love the T-Rex style of presentation!

Thank y’all for putting this video together, I was enjoyably informed! 😊

Man get to know your channel for a few days. You are actually the best gun channel on youtube!

I love these videos from Isaac. Keep them coming please

Wow, the P80 must have been featured in a video game recently😂 Seriously though, It's great to hear you're FINALLY going to support p80 with Kydex. The Lone Wolf Freedom wolf 80 has been around for quite a while and is absolutely a fantastic frame. Hopefully you support it soon as well.

Great video man! Just recently started tinkering with the platform and am enjoying learning more!

I really enjoy your presentation style. The history of suppressors is one of my favorite videos.

Still carry my Gen3

Your distinction of modern pistols being demarcated by before and after Glock is spot on. I'm still running my Gen 3 G19 as my EDC - it's the only Glock I've ever owned. I've pretty much kept it stock (only things swapped out were the iron sights, Vickers slide stop and mag release) but it's now milled for an RDS to keep it current. While I own post-Glock pistols like the excellent PPQ and VP9 (which owe their existence in some respects to Glock), my G19 can still hold its own even after all these years.

Great video. You guys do really good work. I'm new to guns, and your videos have been very beneficial.

Love the video very informative brother. Keep up the good work. I love the Glock vs 1911.

I’m so glad you are starting to make holsters for p80s. Thank you

Your Glock 101 class is awesome Bro, i appreciate great content like this... 😎👍🏾

I thought I was going to skim through this... instead I was hooked. Well done. Please do more particularly continuing with digital night visoin.

First video I’ve viewed from this channel, and I really enjoyed it. I’m now subbed.

I love this. Glock and Glock history by T.Rex? Yup. I'll take that.

Very much enjoyed this history lesson. Thank you Isaac!

i absolutely love this kind of content! you are doing great work!

In 1989, I met up with a Marine Patrol officer who had a G17 for sale. I was carrying a Lama 45 offshore and would just spray it down with WD40 once in a while. He told me to just take it down and put it in the dishwasher 😂. I still carry that gen 1 offshore to this day.

Very well told. I learnt a lot from this video. I own a Glock 20 for 10 years and it never failed at me. Love the simplicity. It's very nice to hear about the history of Glock. Thank you!

I'd love to hear the story of that P38 and its holster.

Very Nice. Thank You. Appreciate the time on this. I left my guns behind in 1974. Bought my first firearm this past June in over half century. Shadow Systems XR920 Elite. Getting closer to being one.

One of the best videos on Glock that I have listened to. Thanks for your work!

Of all the gun videos I have watched on KZfaq, I have to tell you this has been [the] most interesting and informative video I have watched to date. I want to say a very sincere thank you for taking the time to share your expertise in educating all of us on the details of the gun that changed the modern world; i.e. post Vietnam era. The more experts that take the time to share what they know with all of us the better this world is. Again, thank you for all you do to educate and inform.

Remington's Nylon 66 was a complete nylon gun. The nylon receiver was just covered with a piece of sheetmetal to make it sell better.

This was an outstandingly interesting video. I am not a big gun guy, but I am an engineer. This was a great story about Glock and how his innovative design changed the course of history (at least regarding gun manufacturing).

I have owned a lot of glocks over the years (starting with a gen 2) and they have all been fantastic! I still use my Gen 2 mags in my Gen 5. That is one thing you don't talk about is the magazines and how they seem to last forever. I think I have only ever thrown away 2 or 3 but none have been because of spring tension issues. I have a Gen 3 mag that has been loaded for probably, what 10 years or so (it is a spare loaded mag hidden in my house) and every time I bring it to the range it works like a champ. Then it gets loaded back up and put back in its spot. I ha e had problems with FN mags HK mags S&W mags Sig mags and I am pretty sure Canik mags come broken, but glock has never let me down.

So I picked up a g17 gen 5 a few weeks ago. Really mad I didn't start with it. Phenomenal shooting pistol.

The future of Glock is exciting, and sure to be full of innovation, and originality. I heard the Gen 6 may have "Steel sights" and no guarantee but it may also have a "steel recoil guide rod". The guide rod may not be available until gen 7 but it is possible we might see it on the Gen 6. The future is looking bright fellas.

Once again, one of my favorite videos I’ve ever watched on KZfaq this and the AR 15 video. Awesome job.

I could listen to Isaac talk about guns all day. The military weapons video view months ago or whatever (chefs kiss). Oh the suppressor one was good too. Keep ‘em coming man you do great work.

Great video guys!

Great video, as a Glock-fan i really appreciated this video about the history and evoltion of Glocks :)

Love these deep dives. Keep them coming! Love this guys cadence and demeanor during them as well.

These videos are always very informative. Thanks for that transfer of knowledge!

Great video! Isaac knocks this stuff out of the park; makes what could be very dry content into something interesting and entertaining.

glock 19 gen 5 mos was my first ever firearm purchase and i will love it forever

Very cool history lesson. Can't wait to hear about the P38 story

Excellent video, the most informative and interesting gun related video I have had the luck to see yet.

I messaged you guys a while back about a p80 holster, I'm glad you're making one now.

I remember when I picked up a Glock 17 for the first time and was impressed with how well it fit into my hand. Was really comfy to hold.

Awesome video. I love 1911’s but even a fan like myself can’t argue with just how simple and reliable the Glock and Glock style designs are. The slide stop/release just illustrates the point so well.

What a great historical overview of (and commentary about) the sea change of handgun design pre and post Glock.

Two major changes they need to make; 1) Compete with the PSA dagger by making suppressor height sights, rmr cuts standard, and lower price. 2) Other platforms like a pdw, pcc, (both taking Glock mags) and of course, actually release the 5.56 rifle. Bonus if they could make affordable and reliable red dots.

Refreshing video, never been a fan of the glock , mostly due to unfounded prejudices, but thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. Might just have to try a gen 3,soon. Thanks!

Now I understand the history of Glock and Tommy Lee Jones’s movies.🎉

i grew up shooting at gen 2 glock 24 (the .40 version) and i still think it is the most comfortable shooting glock they ever made. i know people hate the gen 2 grip, but i loved it with stippling or grip tape (i kind of preferred grip tape). literal skateboard grip tape was hard to beat, especially if you use some liquid chalk on a sweaty day. i was lucky to grow around a lot of early glock owners so i got to try each version, even the 10mm, and the 24 was the easiest to shoot. they each have very different recoil to me

Excellent video. My first ever gun purchase was a gen 4 g21 and I continue to love it. Lots of rounds, the only things I upgraded were the slide release, ejector, and sights. As you said Glock really pioneered modern pistols and gave us the tools and knowledge to keep evolving, I just wish they would wow the industry with something really cool like a rifle or custom calibers or something because they have become somewhat stagnant in their development when there is so much money to be made in those areas, albeit maybe from niche markets. I do think there's still lots to be learned from the old pistols - understanding metal fabrication and machining techniques will never be useless. My all time favorite pistol ever is the old all steel zastava m57. I can't explain why because all my modern pistols are objectively much better, I just like the uncommon tokarev round and it's extremely comfortable for me and I think the hammer pack modularity was many years ahead of its time. Close behind the m57 is my Erfurt Luger P08 made in 1918. The thing is a tack driver, but holy crap do I have a difficult time with the sights. But all my old steel pistols require that extra precision that you mentioned in the video, and are now easily outpaced by a factory Glock, so who's the real winner?

Awesome. Would love to see more videos like this.

I have 2 Glock 19’s. Both gen 4. Great guns, set up identical. They work. Every Glock I have ever owned (a bunch) has been outstanding. Great video.

Just bought my first Glock today! Pretty excited. I own a Smith & Wesson and a Canik. Love them both, but OEM magazines and parts are expensive and the aftermarket options are terrible (especially for Canik).

I like your videos. Very educational. You have a new subscriber. Thank you.

Love my glocks and seeing them constantly improve over time with upgrades and mods. Great presentation on a fantastic firearm, well done T.REX!

Really enjoy this type of content, thank you for the educational videos you do Isaac and TRex team!

great video, including history & movie clips

Glock is my go to and my only recommendation for new shooters. Simple, reliable, affordable. So many accessories too. Mags are everywhere, I've literally found them on the ground before.

I like the fact that my CZ P10C rides just fine in a G19 holster.

Great video and very informative!!!

This guy is a great presenter and this was extremely well put together. More videos on the history of firearm platforms and advances would be great

Shout out to y’all for including the clip from greatest western movie ever made in Lonesome Dove!

This review and historical walk through of Glock is top notch. T.Rex is one of the best platform who care on educate the gun community. Thank you and Lucas for everything you do!
