Press to jump
- 0:10The host introduces the Gen V comparison and explains why he stopped carrying a Glock 19.
- 2:06The bench comparison highlights external differences between the 19X and Gen V, including finish and optic cut.
- 4:14The host prefers the Gen 6's revised grip, beavertail and trigger design.
- 5:33Range footage shows the host shooting the 19X, Gen V and Gen 6.
- 9:34He attributes weaker Gen V demand to distributor inventory and the arrival of the Gen 6.
Military Arms Channel opens its Glock comparison by clearing something up: "Now, I know you guys think I hate Glocks. I actually don't." What follows is less a dismissal than a question about timing: where does the Gen V fit when the Gen 6 offers changes the host prefers?
"The gun Glock can't give away - the Gen V" was the week's most-watched new upload, passing 100,000 views. At the bench and on the range, the host compares it with the 19X and Gen 6, singling out the latter's grip and trigger for praise. He attributes the Gen V's weaker demand to its place between generations, while leaving room for it as a possible collectible. The video includes a paid sponsorship segment.
Viewers bring their own upgrade dilemma to the discussion. Some describe keeping older Glocks because they see no reason to replace them; another expected the title to refer to the .45 GAP models instead.
Collectibility also runs through "Once they were junk now they're collectors items." Its subject is the changing reputation of Chinese AKs, and it is currently drawing the most daily views of any MAC upload. The new Bren 2 clip follows it, with October's WWII German sniper-rifle video remaining active behind both.
Across the channel, daily views are roughly double their usual level, although subscribers were unchanged over the week. Weekly viewing was close to sootch00's, while TFB TV had a larger week. MAC's remaining new uploads added a compact Mossberg 590RM and Billet Precision rifles to the mix.

What viewers say
As a consumer I never found a reason to dispose of my Gen IIIs in favor of a newer Glock. A reason new Glocks now sit on dealer shelves may be market saturation. I mean I know people who are still happy with their Gen 2 Glocks and had no perceived need to get aa Gen III when that came out, and of course i know others who still carry their Gen IIIs and IVs.
@kenibnanak5554See it on YouTubeI thought you were going to say those 45 GAP Glocks. I think those are the most unwanted.
