I've been a Glock fan for many years (see my join date) and one of the reasons I've always touted for why I like Glocks is that with any solid shaft of 3/32" diameter or thereabouts, I can fully disassemble and reassemble the pistol. It can be a so-called "Glock Tool," or a proper steel pin punch, or even a nail in a desperate situation. Not sure why you'd be doing a full detail strip in a desperate situation, but whatever.

Now I just recently bought a VP9, the new model that's optics-ready, has the 17rd mags. I decided to look into what a detail strip involves on this new piece I've bought.

And, wow it's awesome!! Much better than Glock. And I mean much better! With the Glock, even if it's a simple tool, you do still need a tool for a detail strip.

But with an HK VP9, even better, NO TOOLS!! You just don't detail strip. Ever. Just don't. LOL

Guess I need some brake cleaner.

When I installed an aftermarket trigger on my VP9 it was a PITA to get a pin out. I think the Glock has 31 parts and the VP9 has over 50 lol. I love my VP9 though hopefully you do too!

The fact that the video is over an hour long tells me all I need to know.

I have several VP9s and VP9SKs. It’s the Glock killer. It does everything better. Better accuracy, grip, build, trigger... and as you’ve discovered, even the take down is better.

Guess you missed the point. Detail strip is not better.

Anyway, VP9 has been around for years. Glock is still here.

Have a VP9 and a VP9sk but still carry a Glock(43x, G45, G19G5MOS or G417). The HKs are great but I still believe Glocks will run long after others fail. Glocks aren't perfect but they are reliable. Just a personal opinion.

Man was painful just to watch that video!
1 hour to disassemble???

Exactly why I love my Glock!

Great video! This is why I appreciate the simplicity of Glocks so much.

I have gone on a pistol binge over the last couple of yearsand have bought,sold, and rented quite a few different kinds. While the glock may not be the most ergonomic pistol, I still think it is the best designed striker fired pistol out there. Honestly, it's biggest flaw may be that one has to pull the trigger (although there is a way around this) to disassemble it. Given how many idiots there are in the world, maybe that's not a great design.

There are striker fired guns I find more enjoyable to shoot, but I still think the glock has one of the most robust designs.

On the flip side, when I recently got back into TDA pistols, I was surprised at how easy it was to detail strip my sig pistols. It is obviously not glock easy, but not hard at all.

Soli Deo Gloria

You should try a USP . I just did a full disassembly to put in " match trigger kit " . Yikes ! Not sure it could get any more complicated. I eventually made it , but wow what a mess.

I don't know if they are "better", but my Step Son's sure feels good in my hand. It has been very tempting to me.

Gaston Glock really was a genius. Right up there John Browning.

The fact that the video is over an hour is enough to make me not want to attempt to do this.
