Glock 19X vs. Glock 19 Gen 5: A Comprehensive Side-by-Side Comparison

Рет қаралды 90,144

Жыл бұрын

There are many similarities and a few differences between the Glock 19 and the Glock 19x. Some of these differences are very minor and others are important to know about.
The Glock 19 is the most popular concealed carry 9mm pistol on the market and has been the top selling firearm for many years. There are many reasons for the popularity of the Glock 19 and during the search for a new military sidearm, Glock introduced the Glock 19x.
While the military ultimately chose the Sig P320 as their new standard issue sidearm, the Glock 19x was a very close second. The Glock 19 is used by the Navy seals and many other government agencies. The Glock 19x was released to the public with only a few modifications from the original pistol that went through the military trials.

It's not that a Gen5 magazine won't fit the G19X. It's the GEN5 base plate. You replace the $2 base plate then the GEN5 magazine fits the G19X. All Gen1, 2, 3 and 4 magazines fit the G19X, with out mods. I bought a G19X to compliment my G17L long slide 6.02" barrel. I've been shooting since 1964. 72 in New Hampshire 💥☮️🇺🇲✌️ The G19X is a very exciting pistol, I'm glad for GLOCK. Their ergonomics have trail the industry for decades. My other shooting tools are CZ, Walther, and a H&K VP70Z from new. Full circle. Glock had a VP70Z on his desk while they designed the first G17 pistol.

I've got a G19 gen 5. Get yourself a G17 mag and an "X Grip" and you've got yourself a G19X. Want a 19 round mag? Buy a Glock G17 mag with a factory +2 extension and an "X Grip". Easy-peasy. I think it's a better option because you can still use a standard 15 round mag and it's easier to conceal. I know lots of folks like the 19X, and that's great. I think folks should get and shoot whatever floats their boat. I just don't see the point of the 19X.

Seems like Shadow Systems has essentially cloned Glock but with much improved sights and triggers. Sights and triggers are the top two parts people swap out with their new Glocks. SS can’t have the decades of proven track records like Glock but so far they are said to be just as reliable. Considering Glock for a first SA ,it may be worth waiting to see how SS fare a little further down the road.

@@BoomStickTactical True but that’s not to say they aren’t excellent clones. Now that Glock is no longer protected by a patent the blueprints are up for grabs, it seems. My novice opinion is that if Glock were to put out a new line with enhanced grips sites and triggers, they would pretty much have no competition. They already have a huge fan base, which is slowly becoming a begrudgingly loyal fan base. A new line of tricked out Glocks with the same legendary indestructibility I think would eventually make even Glock haters come around! Lol Yet, Glock obviously knows it’s own shortcomings, yet chooses to do nothing. Who knows maybe they’re having internal structure issues on a grand scale.
