    Please Note: All Glock Generation 17 rd magazine will work in the G19X. The Gen 5 Base pads can be exchanged for originals and work fine. Magpul and ETS mags will also fit.

      According to Larry Vickers and some inside info that he had, the Glock was beaten by SIG at the end because of cost. As far as performance went it actually outperformed the SIG, but the SIG was good enough and cheaper so that's that.

    Very nice review! I own an original Glock 19 that has never failed through about 100K rounds. It is a daily carry IWB and is extremely comfortable. There are two features of the 19X that I would like to have on my original, the fall free mags and the rail on the underside of the frame. As a much younger man (about 38 yrs as opposed to my current 70 yrs) I used this weapon on hit reactive bobber targets on range #3, Ft. Meade, MD to great success out to 750 yards. The 124 gr Hydro-Shock rounds required placing the front sight base at the top of the rear sight and then holding over about 12' for consistent hits. The 19X appears to have all of the improvements that even us older guys would appreciate!

  • @davidadams5781

    For all of the haters out there - I've carried a Glock since 1993 as a duty weapon and for personal defense. From my experience, they are the most reliable handgun out there, except for a wheel gun, which I carried as a duty weapon for four years before making the transition to the semi auto. I've fired Smith's, Walthers, Sigs and the like. The big difference for me is the simplicity of the Glock. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)! I currently have a Gen 3, which is my all time favorite. No need to "upgrade" though. I think they got it right with that model. Just my humble opinion.

      Instead of being snarky you can pick up on a few clues. Here's one. "Gen 5 17 rd mags will need to have an original base plate installed to work."
      This means that the MAGAZINE will work, but not the BASEPLATE
      See those words? they mean things. You can't just make things up in your head to fit whatever you're trying to say. The magazines work. The baseplates do not.
      Aaaaand the baseplates are a removable part. Which is whyyyyyyy you can switch them out and they work. 3 dollar baseplate or 25 dollar magazine. You pick.

      Well sir your wish is answered they finally came out with the Glock 49
      You can also buy a gen 5 19 and a Glock 47 and have 4 guns in 2.
      Thinking about the 49!

    • @survivalistboards
      @survivalistboards Před 6 lety +4

      It is a stupid statement. For example, a reflex is a movement that is beyond you control. If your finger is a safety, then you do not have control of your safety.
      A real safety is not affected by emotions, fear, anger... etc. Your mind and finger are. During times of extreme stress we lose fine motor control. So during times of extreme stress you lose control of your finger safety.

    • @survivalistboards
      @survivalistboards Před 6 lety +2

      Your reply is an excellent example of the problem. You think that you can defy body mechanics, and its just not possible. Do you control your reflexes? Nope. Do you jump when something scares you? Yep. A safety is a mechanical device. Your finger is flesh and bone and can not be a safety.

    • @survivalistboards
      @survivalistboards Před 6 lety +2

      It seems a lot of people confuse safely using something with a safety feature. Keeping your finger off the trigger is using the gun safely. Using something safely, is not the same as a safety device.

    🤔 Something tells me that Glock was confident they were going to win the military contract, so much so that they jumped the gun(no pun intended)and started mass-producing the model. The 3 things that bring me to this conclusion is color scheme, as we seem to be deployed in and near desert theaters for the most part. The second would be the lanyard loop integrated from the factory. Third would be the metal sites as standard equipment. Glock was not about to lose money over 2nd place finish, so they ended up making lemonade. If my theory IS accurate, it’s the best possible blunder they could’ve ever hoped for because this model is going to sell like hot cakes.

I own both and actually ended up turning the g45 into a 19x by adding the +2 oem mag extensions, oem lanyard loop, Glock night sights, Glock maritime spring cups and oem extended controls. After making them basically identical, I still gravitate towards the g45. Not sure why. But you can’t go wrong with either. Great video!

    @reignick1133 Před 6 lety +1

    Sootch I am glad you like it , but the incremental arbitrary changes without addressing the platform's main problems is exactly why shooters like me have left Glock behind.
    As a whole It's not bad , but one should strive for more than just "not bad" , ESPECIALLY if your sales copy is "Glock Perfection".
    The design has NINE major issues which could easily be overcome if not for their insistence their egos being more important than requirements:
    1:The front lip on the frame is unwanted as it precludes some magazines form working.
    2:There is no easy way to strip a stuck magazine out of the frame.
    4:The ambidextrous slide catch levers is a step in the right direction marred/ made completely moot by the fact that they are tractionless and near flush to the frame making it a poor choice to either manually hold the slide open or close the open action. the part may be ambi but it is also vestigial at best .
    5: The trigger guard is still too small for gloved hands / cold weather use.
    6:The trigger guard is not undercut so regular use will give the operator a blister on the shooter's middle finger like all unmodified factory Glocks.
    7: Even at the detriment of a large portion of their consumers and behest of the US Army Glock is still stubbornly insistent upon placing that ridiculous useless hump at the back of their frames even though a cottage industry has sprung up to reduce / negate that hump and it's effects on grip angle.
    8: This stems from problem 7. The needed inclusion of added backstraps to place a beavertail unto the frame , the beavertail should be a base part of the frame ESPECIALLY for US Army use. Your sidearm should be usable by ALL soldiers in time of need without the worry of slide bite no matter what their hand size is.
    9: The magazine release is not ambidextrous , it is "either / or". The cottage Upgrade industry has already alleviated this problem in the Gen 3 Glock pistols, there is no excuse for Glock as a company not to implement this.
    Glock for the past 30+ years has steadfastly placed their egos above practical design evolution and for this the cottage aftermarket upgrade industry has solved almost all of these issues that the Glock has always come standard with. An entire industry was created to fix what the factory offerings REFUSED to.
    When a Polymer 80 , an 80% aftermarket Gen 3 Glock 19 frame *that the user must cut themselves* solves 90% or more of the aforementioned problems / is a more practical common sense option as opposed to the factory which originally designed the firearm in the first place , you have the prime definition of a GLARING lack of both paying attention to customer feedback and a lackadaisical attitude towards ergonomics and R&D.
    ALL of these problems could be easily solved.
    There is no excuse for Glock's hubris.

    I don’t know why people complain about the standard plastic Glock sights. They cost you about $5. If you change them, you’re out $5. If you don’t like the sights this gun comes with and you change them, you’re out $75. Glock gives you all but free sights knowing everyone has their preferred sights that you’ll want on the gun anyway.
