The new Glock 45 in 9 mm they name it 45 because it is the 45 gun so far anyway better than all the Glock 9 mm if you could find one buy it they are hard to find made in Austria 🇦🇹💯👍

i live in bear country in west Virginia i do a lot of hiking in the spring and summer months looking morel mushrooms and ginseng and i was looking for a good cheap hand gun either 45 acp or 357 or a 40 S&w or 10mm and every thing in those calibers were to pricey for a full sized frame gun like in glock mnp and a few budget kanics so i was at the rang and some old feller 15 years ago was shooting 2 high points one in 380 and 9mm i said hey brother what is the brand of that butt ugly brick of a gun and dose it shoot good and the feller let me shoot them and i was plumb surprised on how they worked for a butt ugly gun so i pulled the trigger and bought the c9mm and the 40 s&w for hiking in my pack and i shot the living crap out of those 2 guns for 12 years with most nasty ammo i could find its jams with the tula stuff but every type of brass ammo i put in never fails it kinda like hallow points some times but it never jams with fmj or soft led core round witch is fine with i use the led core stuff from buffalo bore for bear if i have to defend my self from one when im hiking and such never had to shoot a bear yet with the 40 but i love having it on me when in the woods for peace of mind to not be to naked out in the woods with out something to save my life its not a bad gun for the price i would recommend for a good hiking pack gun but i tried to carry it on my hip once and i had a hard time keeping my pants pulled up all the time carrying it up and down the mountain thats why its always in my pack great video sir

would it survive shotgun use

Shame you didn't demonstrate drawing with it on you and just as important, holstering your firearm. My concern is the holster narrowing when nothing is present and a mounted light or just the firearm itself getting hung up when trying to holster it. A proper holster shouldn't be a distraction when doing so and not require both hands.

I think that guy doenst know what he says..g19 is still a king...45 is just gimmick..would take g19x any day over it s looks better.

G3C still stand to this day yall! July 2024 and they’ve MORE than proven they’re worth!

Look at both frames,the rugers top strap is much thicker steel the the sw

Very good video

Aluminum does not rust

God bless you bro

Extra large button up shirt. No one knows anything.

Not that the CZ is a bad rifle but, the Anschutz is the better rifle. Anschutz 1710 provides 50 metre groups, inside of 1/2 inch all day long. No CZ has made it to the Olympics. There

Love both guns! The Hellcat is smaller and lighter. I can pocket carry it but the Taurus is to big for the pocket.

The bbl profile at the receiver is much better on the CZ 452. I'd put my 452 FS against the 64 series Anschutz any day. For an average shooter my 1710 DKL shoots marginally better than the 452 FS. I'd also rather shoot the FS over my 64 series Anschutz. Bought my 64 Annie 50 years ago.

Do you prefer the g45 mos?

Carry guns only need a night sight on the front sight... blacked out rear gives the gx4 a combat sight where you focus on the front sight post. Do not know why so many people go all tacti-cool and put red dots and lasers on a conceal carry weapon. KISS- "keep it simple $tupid" is a principle to live by.

Can u recommend an iron sight upgrade looking at trijicon hd nv I didn’t get a mos sadly

For me 17,19 or 45 are not so good to carry, probably a 43 or 26 would be a better option

Forget the ramp gripe, to me that looks like crap ... the Ruger (unlike the Smith) has provided a super easy way to exchange to whatever front sight floats your boat.

I own Glock 45 it’s my duty gun. I also can conceal it with no problem

I know I’m late to this but I’ll chime in. I also own both of these pistols. Both have been 100% reliable. I do like the sights and the trigger on the shield a little bit more. The smith has a lighter trigger which for me makes me more accurate and the sights on my gx4 had to be replaced due to them drifting. Specifically the rear sight had a problem with moving. I do like the gx4 magazines better than the smith magazines. Mecgar is just hard to beat. They’re both great pistols. I would give the edge slightly to the smith but mainly because it’s been around since 2014 in one iteration or another. Hopefully Taurus will keep up its trend of improving the quality of their firearms.

There's multiple ways to get a 19 to be 45 size, but you can't get 45 down to 19 size

I shot sporter class with a 1710 anchutz bull barrel. I stayed in the high 240ties. I even shot a perfect 250 once. I also had a C.Z American and any given day it might out shoot my 1710. It was extremely accurate for what it was but it couldn't beat my 1710 very often.

I think the biggest and most important reason is they serialize the upper so you can interchange barrels withought buying a new “gun”

Is there a Glock with the Glock 19’s grip but the g17’s slide??

Oh Man, you did not show the installation of the bottom battery seal (rough side down). It is in the slot barely visible in the box. If you do not install it, and seal it with the "O" ring on the sight, it will NOT be waterproof at all. Like I said I own 2 of these. Great dots.

WTH? You weigh the sight for a pistol WITH the rifle mount? The weight of the sight and mount means NOTHING on an AR platform, the weight of the sight on my slide means EVERYTHING, from spring weights to compensator style. Next time please do both. Thank you in advance. PS I bought one in March and another in April. Great sight.

Great vid man! Looking for an alternative to a Hellcat for my kid! This one is definitely the one! Thanks again for the vid. Well done! I’m definitely subscribing to the channel!

Glock gun's are much better and less money Sig guns are over Price and magazines are hard to find and over price just about every gun store has Glock guns and magazines 🇦🇹💯👍

Armscor/RIA is very good for the price because it's what Filipinos use themselves in the Philippines. It's not some cheap budget pistol dreamed up by some faceless corporation. It's made with Filipino love and pride, that's why it's so good despite the price.

You said it weighs about 12 pounds???? 😮😮 I think you meant 12 ounces

If you push down on top round while loading instead of pulling the assist down it loads perfect. Use the assist to assist. I have zero issues with glock mags and pro mags are finicky. Have to keep them clean and dry lube and they can function pretty well.

I wouldn't harp on the front sight quite so harshly. There are inexpensive options on the market, and Ruger's quick-change design means a guy can swap out the front sight in about one minute! Personally, I love a fiber optic front sight.

Just turned 21 Glock 45 looking soooooo good rn

Excellent video. Gun video makers should study how you did this...short and to the point, informative and entertaining. Great job!

Great review. I was considering getting some of these and your vid has secured my mind that I’m going to purchase these. Thank you. Small note: you have a good clear radio news dj type voice. Your description was clear and concise. Very good review. I subscribed. TY.

What's the point? It makes way more sense to use airsoft or 1:1 replica air guns that way you can actually rack the slide, practice magazine changes and weight is realer

It would be great for kydex holsters

Tenicor AIWB holster...buy once cry once..

Needs a folding brace and a carrier with a foregrip. Fixed barrel pistols are always tack drivers.

What holster would you recommend with this?

I have a 1983 model 686 4" and I also have an early model GP100 3". both are great guns but I will never get rid of my 686. Much smoother trigger than the Ruger and is better looking.

had them, returned them they suck ! maybe for your airsoft -- not for a serious rifle not even 22LR

G3C all day compared to that Hellcat

That’s pretty cool wonder about the durability

2024 and the Taurus is $250-$350(OR version). The shield plus is $400-$450 so yeah I think I'm getting the Taurus😂

WHAT ARE THE FRONT LIGHT AND MOUNTED ON RAIL LASER? JOHN

The factory mag extension is really cheap and short. Perfect size. Talon grips make a grip extension that fits perfectly. Pinky problem solved.

The G3C at this moment is around 279 and the toro version about 349 Shield plus 399 and the optic ready about 459 not 50 dollars on either versions

I own both of these pistols. I give a slight edge to the shield plus because the gx4 can be finicky with ammo.
