The Primacy Effect & Steel Glock Mags | SOTG 1350
Friday, 17 July, 2026
What happens when one of the most popular carry pistols in America gets a new magazine that might change the conversation? In this episode of Student of the Gun, Paul and Jarrad dig into the primacy effect, Glock's new steel magazines for the 43X and 48, and why "new and improved" doesn't always mean what the internet thinks it means. From the debate over whether the Glock 19 is "dead" to the bigger lessons hidden inside firearms training, this episode connects gear, psychology, and real-world performance in a way that will make you rethink how shooters are taught, and what they remember first. Along the way, you'll hear sharp observations about training scars, habit formation, and why the first lesson can shape everything that follows. If you care about concealed carry, firearms instruction, or simply understanding why some ideas stick harder than others, this is an episode worth your time. Play the episode now and find out why the first lesson may be the most important one of all.
