Glock 19x vs Glock 45: Which is the Ultimate Compact Pistol?

Рет қаралды 24,721

Күн бұрын

The Glock 19x and Glock 45 are both popular compact pistols designed by Glock, renowned for their reliability and performance. The Glock 19x, initially developed for military use, combines features of the Glock 17 and Glock 19, featuring a full-size frame with a compact slide. On the other hand, the Glock 45 is part of the Gen5 series, combining a compact slide with a full-size frame, providing an excellent balance of concealability and capacity. While the Glock 19x has a unique coyote tan color and ambidextrous slide stop levers, the Glock 45 offers front slide serrations and a versatile MOS system for optics. The choice between these two models often comes down to individual preferences, with the 19x excelling in military aesthetics, and the Glock 45 providing a modern, feature-rich option for both civilian and law enforcement use.

From what I read, the flare out at the 19x handle has to do with wearing gloves. The flare keeps material of the glove from pinching into the mag as it's being inserted. Bear in mind that this was originally for Military use. ***Just to clarify: I'm not saying that's why: Only that I read it in a comment on another video.

Wherever you read that, was correct; according to the Armorer’s class I took last year. I spent about five minutes with mine, and a Dremel. I relieved the inside of that lip just enough to allow a gen5 magazine to fit properly. The original look is retained, and all generations of magazines now work.

When I first got my hands on a G19X I instantly fell in love with her. I upgraded the trigger because I personally like a 3-4 lbs pull. Next I put a nightstick light, say what you want but the G19X is my home defense rig so you need a way to PID. Honestly I hate WML on pistols I feel like they take away from the ergonomics of a pistol. Anyways, the more rounds I got through the G19X the more I wanted to start running a red dot. So I got the G45 MOS. And getting that in hand I fell in love all over again. Especially after mounting a red dot on her. My poor 19X just stays in my bed side dresser. In my humble opinion the G45 MOS is a better pistol than the 19X. But they are both awesome guns & you can’t go wrong with either. Also been thinking about getting me one of them G49’s. I like the idea of swapping out the slides and making a G19 or a G17.

The overbite on the 19X is there to increase surface on the front strap to help prevent fingers and gloves from being pinched when inserting magazines. Not the first time Glock has done that. Look at some of the sub-compacts.

You don’t have to cut the grip extension off to make Gen 5 mags work in it. Just hollow out the backside of it. I did that on mine, turning it into a lip like structure. Gen 5 mags fit just fine and unless you hold the gun upside down, you’d never know I altered it. Plus, even if you did hold it upside down, you might think that it was simply manufactured that way. Why Glock didn’t manufacture it that way is beyond me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glock 45 has a double wall trigger that is difficult to get accustomed to. It was a rental at a range so it had a few rounds through it. From a reliability standpoint this is a significant issue for me. Trigger consistency is important. Nice video. Thanks!

Glock 47 is better and has MOS these are outdated, g47 has a Glock 17 grip just like the 19x and 45 but has a 17 length slide with a shorter dust cover so the frame is compatible with a 19. So if you already have a 19 then buying a 47 means: 19 slide goes onto 47, makes Glock 45, 47 slide goes onto 19 makes Glock 48.
