Why I Don't Like The Glock 17
About this video
Colion explains why the Glock 17 doesn’t work well for him personally, despite acknowledging its reliability and iconic status. He describes his subjective issues with the gun’s aesthetics, ergonomics, natural point of aim, and recoil impulse, though he prefers the compensated 17C variant. Colion emphasizes that his critique is personal preference rather than a flaw in the firearm, and he encourages viewers to test guns before purchasing rather than compromising on fit.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues the Glock 17 feels disproportionate and doesn’t point naturally for him, requiring constant sight adjustment
- According to Colion, even reliable iconic guns may not fit every shooter’s hands or shooting style well
- Colion recommends testing firearms before purchase since today’s market offers enough variety that shooters don’t need to compromise on fit
