• Fact: The model 17 frame of the 19X offers the full grip of Glock’s original designs in which the company was based upon with 17 round magazines.
• Fact: The 19X comes direct from the factory with not only a 17-round magazine for concealed carry, but two additional magazines with +2 extensions to hold 19 rounds for added firepower when reloading.
• Fact: The 19X comes from Glock with factory installed night sights rather than the horrible tradition white outlined “U” shaped rear sight and white dot front sight.
• Fact: Located on the bottom of the frame is a removable lanyard loop for tactical operators who prefer to tether their pistols to their gear for jumps or just retention purposes in crowded non-permissive environments.
• Fact: Unlike most of the Gen 5 series of pistols, the 19X does not have a flared magazine well but does include the ambidextrous slide stop “U” shaped one-piece lever.

Aside from the hard, undeniable facts, let’s discuss a few items that have been both praised and criticized in recent reviews. Glock 19x for sale

First, the new Glock Marksman Barrel (GMB) which may or may not actually increase accuracy in a pistol that is universally known as a great combat shooting performer proven in some of the harshest environments on the planet.

Next, the color. Its brown. Glock calls it Coyote, the U.S. Army calls it Mission Brown and they love to paint everything within eye sight that color. While this is the first factory produced Glock in a color other than Black, it would not be the first choice in colors for commercial sales when the hot color for the tactical crowd is currently Grey. The new nPVD slide coating has already started to prove itself to be just as tough or even tougher than the traditional Tenifer finish with the other Black Gen 5 pistols.

Despite what the Glock 19X looked like or what changes were made from previous models, the real question everyone wanted to know was how did this hybrid or “crossover” Glock perform? This is where the table top reviews end and 1800GunsAndAmmo.com comes through for you each week! As I prepared for range testing, I honestly did not know what to expect given the full grip and shorter barrel of the 19X. Would the extra grip area give me more control? Would the shorter barrel be less accurate? Does it function with as many brands of ammo just as well as my personal Glocks? The answers would be discovered in “The Swamp” training grounds with the help of Clint and our guest shooter and good friend, John Ammons of UW Gear.

Range Time

On the first trip to the range, the 19X was ready to impress. The full-size grip was a bit of an overkill for my relatively smaller hands compared with Clint and John both being around 6 ft tall. As each one of us took turns shooting, there was a constant flowing dialogue of compliments for the pistol. Needless to say, there were smiles all around just to be out shooting with good friends on a beautiful day, but to be doing so with a good firearm makes it even better.
