NOSTALGIA | NOIR Season 6 Episode 4
About this video
Colion explores the evolution of Glock pistols by shooting a rare Generation 1 Glock 17 and comparing it to later generations. He discusses his personal appreciation for the platform’s minimal changes over time and tours the Institute of Military Technology, where he examines historical firearms evolution from the Revolutionary War to modern suppressors. The video also includes segments on off-body carry techniques and a competitive shooting challenge between teams.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues that the Glock platform has remained remarkably consistent across generations, which he views as either testament to its revolutionary design or potential over-reliance on a working formula
- Colion demonstrates off-body carry techniques, emphasizing that this method requires heightened situational awareness and should be treated as an extension of your body, never set down carelessly
- Colion explains that successful defensive use requires understanding your marksmanship capabilities and constantly asking yourself ‘is the risk worth the gain’ before taking action
