In this video, I’m cutting straight through the “Glock Perfection” marketing and talking about which Glock models I’d actually trust to shoot forever—and which ones I think are basically guaranteed job security for gunsmiths. I’m looking at the real-world stuff that matters: reliability over high round counts (think 20,000 up to 250,000+), patterns of common malfunctions, and which designs consistently hold up when you stop babying them. If you’re shopping for a carry gun, this is the difference between buying a tool and buying a headache. On the “worst” side, I break down why the Glock 36, Glock 44, and Glock 42 get so much heat—finicky behavior, problem-prone setups, and the kind of quirks that show up when you actually run the gun. Then I go the other direction and explain why the Glock 43X, Glock 17, Glock 19, and Glock 26 are the champs: proven track records, simple reliability, and the kind of consistency that makes them hard to beat for EDC. The big takeaway is simple: some Glocks are legends for a reason, and some are just compromises that don’t age well.
