Why Glock 19 Used to Be The Answer & Isn’t Anymore
About this video
Colion argues that 2025 represents a “golden age” for concealed carry firearms, contrasting today’s compact, high-capacity, optics-ready pistols with the compromises shooters faced a decade ago. He walks through his own carry evolution—from full-size Glocks to subcompacts like the Shield, P365, and slimline compacts—and explains how modern guns, holsters, and accessories have eliminated the old trade-offs between concealability and capability. Colion emphasizes that the hardware advantage only matters if carriers train consistently, choose gear that fits their skill level, and understand their legal responsibilities.
Key takeaways
- Colion teaches that modern carry guns offer high capacity, optics compatibility, and shootability in compact frames—eliminating the size-versus-performance compromise of the past
- According to Colion, successful concealed carry depends on matching the right gun to your body and skill through hands-on testing, not brand loyalty or trends
- Colion stresses that capability must be paired with training, proper gear setup (holster, belt, optics maintenance), and legal knowledge to be effective in real-world defensive scenarios
