I bought this video with fairly low expectations that it would give me the information I needed to "master" the mini-Glock, but the video met its title statement. The sections on concealed carry techniques and draw from concealment were excellent. The disassembly/reassembly information was adequate that I was able to disassemble the slide and receiver assemblies to their lowest common denominators and reassemble them successfully. Mastery is a good word to describe the feeling when you know every part, how to get at it, what it does, and how to put it back. With the video and some practice (on my G19, G23, and G27) I am quite comfortable with all levels of disassembly. Maintenance suggestions were good but varied some from my Glock Armorer's manual in lubrication placement. In fact, what the Armorer's Manual calls "the most important drop of oil" is not mentioned by Magill. This is the drop specified where the connector and the trigger bar meet. Other missing information includes testing the trigger, firing pin, and drop safeties and the check routines to run after assembly to assure that everything is functioning properly. Overall, the video is a nice addition to the Armorer's manual to make the assembly and disassembly operations easier to understand, but it is not the complete and final word. The combat marksmanship hints are excellent and I learned from them. Just the hint of covering the back of the slide with the thumb while reholstering the weapon might be worth the cost of admission. Recommended.
 The Best I've Seen August 13, 2001

This Video greatly surpassed my expectations. I was mainly interested in getting a better description of the 'complete' Diassembly (down to the bare frame) and Re-Assemply of a Glock - which this Video was excellent at. What I also got was an exceptional decsription of Personal Protection techniques, firearm handling techniques, concealed carry options, and very good information on general gun maintenance. A winner...
Different From What I Expected - Of Value Nonetheless August 12, 2003

I expected this video to discuss handling and operating characteristics peculiar to the Mini Glock line of pistols. Two of these were presented: the need to press the thumb against the back of the slide while re-holstering the pistol in order to prevent it from moving out of battery (don't know if the Glocks are the only pistols with this requirement; my Colt .45 auto doesn't experience any problems in this regard) and the lack of grip length to accommodate the entire hand, requiring the pinkie finger to be curled up under the grip bottom (no solution was given for this latter situation other than a recommendation to purchase one of the after-market grip extenders). Nevertheless, I liked this video very much for the general information that was presented on self defense shooting skills and drills. For this portion of the video alone (which occupied the majority of the video playing time), I would recommend it to novice defensive pistol shooters. I also liked the section of the video showing the disassembly of the pistol. Although I have a manual with pictures of the disassembly steps, I like seeing these steps in a video as an adjunct to the manual.
THE video for Glock SubCompacts May 7, 2004
Janet Guffey (Plano, TX United States)
(Also available in DVD) If you are considering owning a Glock subcompact pistol or need some help with the plethora of modifications, this is the one video to buy. CCW and shooting tips, complete disassembly and reassembly clearly explained. While it does not go into Glock mods, it will teach you how to take the gun apart. Very well done.
This video could apply to all Glocks, not just the Baby Glock August 15, 2007

I found this video very interesting and easy to watch. It shows that with a lot of practice, you can be as good as this guy is, and he's pretty good. The concealment part was helpful, especially the reholstering technique he uses with his thumb on the rear of the slide. I would have liked to have seen more holster options explored, as there are many to choose from. The breakdown of the Glock was was the best part of the video, as it was shown in great detail, which is hard to see using still photos you find on the internet. Using the barrel to hold the firing pin when you are taking it apart was a very good tip, as it's tricky to do. This video could be applied to all Glock models, not just the Mini (I have a G26, G17 and G34). He did forget to lubricate the important connector, which could have been a simple oversight, which is why I rated this 4 stars instead of 5. Always follow the Glock's Owner Manual for lubrication spots.
