Line45 Breaks Down Fast-Selling New Guns, From Glock to Henry
In this Line45 video, the channel walks through new pistols, carbines and rifles that are actually selling, from the Glock Gen 6 G19 to the Henry Protector Carbine, and explains why buyers are putting money down.
Snapshot
Line45 covers new pistols, carbines and rifles from Glock, Ruger, Taurus, Smith & Wesson, Henry and HK, citing prices, capacities and test results, including a heavy trigger on the Ruger Harrier. The channel's main argument is that these guns sell because each fixes a specific, long-standing complaint rather than chasing trends, as with Glock refining a shape people already trusted.
Key points
- Glock Gen 6 G19: more palm swell, a deeper trigger guard undercut, an extended tang and a lower direct-mount optic system; one 1,100-round test had a single stoppage tied to an out-of-spec round.
- Ruger RXM full-size: a serialized fire control insert that moves between grip modules, with 17-round capacity and support for multiple red dot footprints.
- Taurus TX9 Compact: $438 with a 4-inch barrel, 15+1 capacity and four backstraps; testing across the TX9 family ran eight hollow-point and three FMJ loads without a malfunction.
- Smith & Wesson M&P FPC 5.7 and Ruger Harrier: the FPC folds to just over 16 inches and carries 66 rounds onboard; the $699 Harrier has forged 7075 receivers and a nitrided bolt carrier, though its trigger was heavy in testing.
- Henry Protector Carbine and HK VP9 A1X: the $1,200 Henry comes threaded and drilled and tapped in five chamberings; the VP9 A1X puts a 4.09-inch slide on the full-size A1 grip with a 17-round flush magazine.
Quick take
Line45 argues these guns are selling because each one solves a specific, long-standing complaint rather than chasing trends, from Glock refining a shape people already trusted to HK pairing a compact slide with a full-size grip.
