@@frankgonzalez3822 They are essentially the same pistol. The 19X is commonly said to have a slightly better trigger. But dimensionally they're the same. But the 45 has from slide serrations, is black in color and doesn't have the leading edge tab protecting the mag.
@@frankgonzalez3822 Personally I don't see the point in the Shadow Systems post. Yea, if you want a Gucci gun, sure. But I'd take the 19x or even a gen 3 G19 over the MR920 for life saving and duty use.
The color alone is what drew me to the Glock 19X. I absolutely love the color. The other features were no brainers. Upgraded barrel, Night Sights, everything on this Glock i absolutely love. And it matches perfectly with the FDE/Coyote Brown color of my AR 15 that i also own.
I recently purchased one and the Aesthetics was one of the reasons. mine's a little unique it's went through the Apollo Custom Custom Shop and has the upper slide in black with I would call Burnt bronze or coyote tan Stars and Stripes. Stars toward the muzzle Stripes toward the back. looks really sharp!
Not really a glock man at all. But this one changed my mind. I’ll be gettin one of these. I love everything about from the grip to the color. An the 19 round capacity 😍😍
The color is what first caught my attention to this gun. I personally love it! But I didn’t buy the 19X as a conceal carry gun. I have a 43X for that. It is a great gun and has quickly become one of my favorite guns that I own. Thanks for your review!
Best review on the 19X out there , I'm glad you talked about the grip length and controlling the pistol. And the comments about the difference between hobbyist and shooters was spot on.
I checked one of these out the other day and thought it felt great in my hands. Wanted to view a few videos and get a feel for what most shooters have to say about the 19X before I pull the trigger and make my purchase. Your video and 5,000 round evaluation sealed the deal for me. I never once considered owning a Glock before I saw and felt this pistol. They just werent my cup of tea. I've owned and own Colts, Springfields, Rugers, Smiths, and CZ. About to become a first time Glock owner. If this pistol is half of what you say it is I will be a happy camper. Thanks for your honest review. Wish more reviewers were like yours. No BS . You just cut to the chase and speak the honest truth. You have earned a subscriber.
well im sure you sold all your others and replaced them with glocks by now sig p320's are A1 to I don't care what anyone says sig p320's are just as good as glock not better but just as good especially the sig p320 M18 which i have.
"The lanyard loop didn't call my momma names" 🤣🤣🤣 great video! I'm a 1911 guy and i bought this glock as my first glock. (I've shot glocks in the past just never bothered to spend my money on them also a lefty) and i would say I'm pretty impressed with my buy.
Good video brother, you earned a sub. I bought a G19X yesterday at Academy for $589.00. I freaking love everything about it. I also require that a pistol has a proper size grip for my man size hands, I just feel more confident with this custom tailored pistol. I personally feel that Glock knocked it out the park with the 19x. I don't understand why people give it so much grief.
Im a glock guy and i didnt relly care about the 19x when it came out, untill recently i spent some time with it and o man do i love it. Shoots dam great!!
I subscribed, liked the in-depth review. I have this gun, it gives you the most value out of the box from the Glock platform. It is my carry gun now. The reason the gun lost (it was the runner up) the trials, is not just that Sig massively undercut the price of their gun for the contract. Is that Glock failed to meet the modular requirements. They delivered a refinement of their greatest gun (the G19), which might have been the best gun (performance and reliability) in that contest, but it didn’t meet many of the requirements. All the more impressive that it made to the finals, over the APX (which Beretta design specifically to meet the requirements). I agree, I think the 19x is a great gun.
I bought one today. I put 250 rounds through it without issue. The 19 doesn't fit my hand as well as the 19x plus it comes with factory night sights. I picked it over the 45 and the 19 and a CZ. of course I also bought a Kimber ultra carry II and I think it might have been more accurate. What a good day today is.
@All Day Son all right man, how'd it turn out? I bought a Kimber Solo since that post and had to work out some issues with it. I'm liking it now but I still see a Glock 26 in my immediate future.
I was looking at the 45 too and the uniqueness of the x made my decision. I am so tired of black (bibles, knives etc.). I have CZ75 P01 and it's another wonderful 9 along with my Hi Power.If
Been a total Springfield guy for 10 plus years. I’ve always bashed Glocks for no reason other than I assumed they were overly hyped. I’ve always passed the Glock sections at Academy, Bass, pawn shops, you name it. Until I saw this beautiful brown 19X sitting in display. It was literally love at first sight! Didn’t even try it a range first. Best pistol purchase, best pistol I’ve ever had or shoot, and my favorite edc or home defense ever. I see why Glock has its reputation. No jams out of it and it eats everything! I still love my Springfield’s and Canik’s but nothing can compare to a Glock. I’ve since bought more Glocks and the addiction now is growing lol
Another EXCELLENT point about grip size and control ability. Back in the 70s S&W and Colt made snub-nose 2" and 3" revolvers, with a full size "Magnum" Stock grip for that exact purpose. Great for Combat shooting!
I've had my Glock 23 since I bought it brand new in 1993. I have no idea how many rounds I've shot through it over the past 28 years and I have never had a single issue with it. I love that gun and will have it until the day I die.
I bought one strictly because its desert tan and realized after using it the performance on this model is smooth and amazing perfect first purchase for somebody new
This is an honest and straight forward review of the Glock 19x. And funny lol. I have been wanting to add a Glock to the collection but wanted the perfect Glock for me. I believe this one is it. It takes what I love about the 17 and 19 and combined them. Just perfect for me. Your review helped me decide. Thank you.
I've heard that argument that the G19X was too hard to conceal. For years, I conceal carried a full size 1911. If you can conceal that, you can conceal a Glock. Proper holster and attire is key.
I love this pistol! I don’t use it for concealed carry though because it’s just not comfortable to me. I recently bought a FN 509 midsize and been carrying that over my p365. The 19x definitely sees plenty of range time though; love it
Scotty Semievil i was considering fn 509 but heard lots of issues with striker getting broken. How many rounds have u put in it so far? What’s ur take on it
I sanded off the front lip on a belt sander. Polished it with some 400 grit sandpaper. Carried a G45 for a year as a truck driver, didn’t get made a single time
I have owned a Glock 19X for over a year and I Agree...For some reason the G17 Grip makes this pistol a Great Shooter.... No Malfunctions using Blazer Brass Ammo (Approx 1,000 Rounds) Color had to grow on me but it's My Favorite Glock to shoot.
It’s certainly an upgrade from the 19 for me, big hands. I would have liked to see more tactical features, threaded barrel optics cuts, height sights, take or leave fronts slide serrations. I like the finger grooves added a Hogue grip and it was perfect today. I like the little magazine lip and proprietary magazines, these small differences set it aside from every other Glock. Far from perfect it is the closest thing to factory unique they have produced. Also love the factory slide finish.
Bought mine 6 months ago and I love it! Smooth, Accurate, I'm left handed so I switched the magazine release over to the right side, and it holds 19+1! I carry it everyday! I've never owned a Glock, hell, until I bought my 19X I'd never even shot a Glock. Now if only more companies would make true lefthand eject pistols! I forgot to mention that it feels better in my hand than any pistol I've ever fired.
@@loganbyers1853 Have you ever looked at Cabot Firearms? They make a completely lefthanded 1911, but its not cheap! They'll also build you a matched set, one left one right they call "The Mirror Image. Their stuff runs from about $4k to over $8k. They're also known for building a 1911 out of metal smelted from a meteorite. I've always wanted a lefthanded big game rifle in one of the classic calibers, .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, or in a Weatherby .378 or .460. I've found a few online but everytime I got around to committing they were sold. Last year I found a brand new, unfired, in the box, Lefthanded stock and bolt, Winchester Model 70 Express in.375 H&H, so I bid on it and won, I think I paid $2100 for it. I put a $1500 Leupold on it. I love this gun. And one day I'll move out to the north west where I can actually use it. Winchester made several calibers in this rifle, topping out at .458, but they used the same profile barrel, so my .375 is a bit barrel heavy, but to me thats a good thing as it helps keep the muzzle down. One of these days I plan to have a Weatherby style muzzle brake installed.
Dallas More wow that stuff sounds awesome! If I could afford it I would definitely buy it as I love 1911 but I’m only 18 and am on a strict budget 😂 those rifles sound awesome too! I’d but all of it I’m glad I don’t have the money because firearms would be a problem for my bank account 😂
Love the gun review. I've had mine about as long as you and loved it from day 1 but nowhere near as much ammo through it. I love watching other people shoot it and become amazed at how it feels.
EXCELLENT review! I have big hands and while I love shooting my 19; it would be nice to have the extra grip length for added control. People complain, but isn't it the Army OPERATORS who contributed to this design? I would think they know a little more than the civilian pop as to what makes for a good combat pistol design. This will be my next firearm purchase. THX.
Thinking of getting a 2nd 19x. Love the feel of the trigger and shoots like a dream. The larger handle works great for me because I have pretty big hands. Love it !
i can honestly say,i didnt care for anything about this gun.and only bought one because there was no gen 5 g19s.and now i love it!i thought the loop was ugly so i took it out!i liked the look of the finger grooves but after actually shooting this the grip is great.i never liked the look of this but the performance of it is undeniably great.and i can be very accurate with it.
Thanks. Just wondering if you would say the Glock19X could be a firearm that you could effectively conceal carry? I’ve heard many complain that it’s not a very good firearm to conceal carry. I’m glad that you believe it’s not a problem to conceal carry. Great explanation of why having a full grip is important. Thanks.
I conceal carry it a lot. People have been conceal carrying the G17 for years and years, and it somehow magically became a problem to CC big guns in the last 5 or 10 years.
I'm a leaner guy and have no issue concealing mine in medical dress, casual, as well as professional dress. I use an enigma to make it essentially disappear.
I totally agree. I like the G19X so much, I have two of them. I don’t understand the complaints against it as well. None of the complaints make sense (besides maybe color). I will say though, I think the gen 5’s are pretty solid. Sure, the initial run didn’t have the beveling which was stupid, but they fixed that. The gen 5’s have a better trigger then previous (especially compared to gen 4). They also have a better barrel (although most people can’t outshoot the previous barrels). I have gens 3, 4 and 5 and like the 5 the most, followed by 3. At the top though, is the 19x. For some reason, I like it better than the G45 even though they are pretty close to being the same gun. The 19x coming with night sights and maritime spring cups is an added bonus, and the 19 round mags are pretty nice.
Thumbs up as soon as I heard you say no car wash.😂 Seriously I'm in groups where people agonize over scratches and wear on something they scratch in/out of kydex holsters, haha. Great video, man. I'm 54+ yrs old with scars. My guns and cars and guitars all look like they're enjoying this world. Hope you all stay safe and enjoy peace.🤘
I purchased this as my first Glock. I’ve been shooting XDM and Beretta. I wanted something that would run for 1000 years. Moral of the story is I like the grip, I like the sights, I like the controls, and it works well concealed. Thanks for the video. My New Years resolution is to put 3K rounds through this thing and smooth it out.
Thank you for your sober, mature no nonsense presentation. I'm just starting out enjoying my G19X and a Streamlight TLR-1HL. It's a new addition to my CZ metal pistols, H&K VP70Z staple gun 9😁, and a few Walthers family. Suffer no fools & whining posers. 💥☮️⚖️🇺🇲✌️ 72 male New Hampshire.
I've got the same set up here & just took her out yesterday and at 25 yards? I was smoking that X on the target, about a 6" group.. She hits where ya aim. I polished the trigger bar, disconnector, plunger, etc. & Found the trigger bar was rubbing against the frame. I sanded that down & boy what a change it made in that trigger & reset.
Great video, great questions and answer segment! I agree entirely with your overall assessment, this is my EDC pistol for all the reasons you so eloquently expressed!
The same people bitching are the same people who buy a Glock and immediately replace half of the parts, including the barrel. I carry a gen 3 stock 19. I did, after seeing a Pat McNamara video, try how he inserts his whole finger on the trigger. Any problem I had with a Glock trigger disappeared. This was a good and honest video. I subscribed and hit the notification button. I generally watch a few videos before I subscribe and a few more before the notification button. I like your style, Sir. Good job from an OLD Marine!
I think I'm in the minority when I say the finger grooves don't bother me. In fact, they help me to grip the gun the exact same way, each and every time.
Simple answer to all comments you addressed is it was not made for you and me. It was made for our “military”. Was not intended to be released for civilians. And all you’re answers to his comments are right!👌
Best review yet man, I have had mine for only a few months but I agree very flat smooth shooter. Good to see after 5000 rounds. Love mine man thanks for the vid.
I just made a dremel cut that made mine accept gen 5's, and I kept the front shelf. (even though my hands are too small to make use of that grip extension up front. My freakishly long fingers can make use of it with my non dominant hand pinky however.)
Thank you fo the review on that model , I recently purchased the Glock 45. Very good weapon and I agree people complain about the wrongs things, lol !!!
I agree, even though mine has been slightly modified, with hight cut trigger guard, cut beavertail adaptor, Talon Grips, and Ameriglo I-dot Pro sights. My finish has started to melt off, got some nasty pitting on the rear of the slide and around the rear sight. To me, it's a tool but the pitting is getting worse and this is just my body sweat, oh well it is what it is, I might refinish it sometime here soon. Good project for gunsmith school. Also, I replaced the lanyard loop plug with a different plug. Yeah and the dingus went bye-bye with a Dremel not cause of the magazine issue, just because I didn't like it. I forgot to add, mine is hitting well over the 5,000+ rounds also and still going, shooting, brass, JHP, Steel case, Brown Bear ammunition without an issue yet. I also put in a Ghost Angel connector bar in it.
At first I didn't like the color. I bought it because it felt the best in my hands, which in my opinion I think means the most. I plan on getting mine coated very soon thought, even though the color is growing on me.
@@csutcliff There's a whole lot wrong with Mr. Gunn's statement. The x-grip is somewhat known to pinch the palm of your hand, if you have meaty hands. Not only has there been and improvement on the barrel, but the trigger as well. And the grip profile and feel from the 19 to the 17 (19x) is different. Sure you can throw a g17 mag into a g19. I've done it fir years without the stupid grip inserts. But a replacement for the 19x, it absolutely isn't.
Yeah I read some of the internet complaints-“short slide long grip doesn’t make sense” etc. But I like to see for myself, so I picked one up and it just felt good. Better than the Sig P320 (early version). Anyways, bought one and it’s one of my better shooting Glocks. With the lanyard loop, make it a great keychain too. Lot of military pistols have provisions for lanyards, surprised that was a complaint
Hope ur channel goes to the moon. Out of the 20 videos I watched after I already purchased mine, yours is by far my favorite. Very real person no bullshit 🤝🏽keep it up
Good and straight-to-the-point review. I own G19X too and it's the best Glock pistol I've shot so far. How about coating? Does it wear out in your case? Mine does a bit at front on both sides of the slide. Maybe it's more visible because of coyote color. Greetings from Poland.
I have very minor coating wear on the corners of the slide near the muzzle. I can only assume that is holster wear. And a very small amount on the top of the slide from the Safariland holster locking mechanism.
@@RTTGunsGear Same as me, virtually similar as on thumbnail pic of this vid so it's because of holster, without a doubt. I'm running TREX Ragnarok as Safariland don't have holsters for G19X and TLR2 combo.
19X is my nightstand gun cause I agree with you Sir. 19X is an absolute awesome blaster. I also prefer the ball & cup Factory sights that every Karen cries about LOL.
Just found your channel today, and i gotta say i like your attitude, and on top of that your right about what your saying, it's july 2021 and i made the jump to the 19x and feel good about it
I own several glocks …17 and 19 gen 5 …a couple gen 4s also ..purchased the Glock 19x and is by far my favorite ..I’ve never cared to much for the flared mag wells on the gen 5s ..that’s just nick picking though ..great guns ..great review
Great review, I knew I was going to love this gun when it came out and I’m ready to buy a second. I agree with everything you said here. Out of dozens of Glocks I’ve owned over the years, this is definitely my favorite and a keeper. I just found your channel and subbed, I like your opinion and attitude.

Bought mine 6 months ago and I love it! Smooth, Accurate, I'm left handed so I switched the magazine release over to the right side, and it holds 19+1! I carry it everyday! I've never owned a Glock, hell, until I bought my 19X I'd never even shot a Glock. Now if only more companies would make true lefthand eject pistols! I forgot to mention that it feels better in my hand than any pistol I've ever fired.
I’m left handed too am I’m looking at getting one of these! I finally found someone who has the same problem!!!😁
@@loganbyers1853 Have you ever looked at Cabot Firearms? They make a completely lefthanded 1911, but its not cheap! They'll also build you a matched set, one left one right they call "The Mirror Image. Their stuff runs from about $4k to over $8k. They're also known for building a 1911 out of metal smelted from a meteorite. I've always wanted a lefthanded big game rifle in one of the classic calibers, .375 H&H, .416 Rigby, or in a Weatherby .378 or .460. I've found a few online but everytime I got around to committing they were sold. Last year I found a brand new, unfired, in the box, Lefthanded stock and bolt, Winchester Model 70 Express in.375 H&H, so I bid on it and won, I think I paid $2100 for it. I put a $1500 Leupold on it. I love this gun. And one day I'll move out to the north west where I can actually use it. Winchester made several calibers in this rifle, topping out at .458, but they used the same profile barrel, so my .375 is a bit barrel heavy, but to me thats a good thing as it helps keep the muzzle down. One of these days I plan to have a Weatherby style muzzle brake installed.
Dallas More wow that stuff sounds awesome! If I could afford it I would definitely buy it as I love 1911 but I’m only 18 and am on a strict budget 😂 those rifles sound awesome too! I’d but all of it I’m glad I don’t have the money because firearms would be a problem for my bank account 😂
@@loganbyers1853 I'm 58 and retired. I bought that Winchester at 57 as a retirement gift to myself. You've got plenty of time.
Dallas More congrats on retirement! That’s what everyone keeps telling me but I also had heart surgery in July so we will see 😂😂
Just bought one. First handgun that i have ever purchased and I really like it
Glad to hear it! Mine had its 10,000th birthday not long ago - czcams.com/video/ubkM-Jst8lQ/video.html
Love the gun review. I've had mine about as long as you and loved it from day 1 but nowhere near as much ammo through it. I love watching other people shoot it and become amazed at how it feels.
I really appreciate review like this over others that get kick backs for reviewing companies products
I bet if Glock offered an FDE color option on all of there versions they would be surprised on how many like the color...
EXCELLENT review! I have big hands and while I love shooting my 19; it would be nice to have the extra grip length for added control. People complain, but isn't it the Army OPERATORS who contributed to this design? I would think they know a little more than the civilian pop as to what makes for a good combat pistol design. This will be my next firearm purchase. THX.
I like this guy. Best review I've seen yet.
Thinking of getting a 2nd 19x. Love the feel of the trigger and shoots like a dream. The larger handle works great for me because I have pretty big hands. Love it !
I’m with ya. Great no nonsense review. I like that configuration so mush I bought the 19x and the g45.
i can honestly say,i didnt care for anything about this gun.and only bought one because there was no gen 5 g19s.and now i love it!i thought the loop was ugly so i took it out!i liked the look of the finger grooves but after actually shooting this the grip is great.i never liked the look of this but the performance of it is undeniably great.and i can be very accurate with it.
Same thing just happened to me..I went for a G19 gen 5 and they were out so I bought the 19x and actually really like it
Thanks. Just wondering if you would say the Glock19X could be a firearm that you could effectively conceal carry? I’ve heard many complain that it’s not a very good firearm to conceal carry.
I’m glad that you believe it’s not a problem to conceal carry. Great explanation of why having a full grip is important. Thanks.
I conceal carry it a lot. People have been conceal carrying the G17 for years and years, and it somehow magically became a problem to CC big guns in the last 5 or 10 years.
I'm a leaner guy and have no issue concealing mine in medical dress, casual, as well as professional dress. I use an enigma to make it essentially disappear.
Most dealers couldn't keep them in stock the first year the 19x came out i got mine yesterday love the feel of it in my ✋
Sig won the contract by 102 million dollars. The US military paid Sig $207 per pistol but us civilians have to pay $1000
I totally agree. I like the G19X so much, I have two of them. I don’t understand the complaints against it as well. None of the complaints make sense (besides maybe color). I will say though, I think the gen 5’s are pretty solid. Sure, the initial run didn’t have the beveling which was stupid, but they fixed that. The gen 5’s have a better trigger then previous (especially compared to gen 4). They also have a better barrel (although most people can’t outshoot the previous barrels). I have gens 3, 4 and 5 and like the 5 the most, followed by 3. At the top though, is the 19x. For some reason, I like it better than the G45 even though they are pretty close to being the same gun. The 19x coming with night sights and maritime spring cups is an added bonus, and the 19 round mags are pretty nice.
well this seals the deal for me. Good thign I'm not married hahaha... aww, so lonely.
T Web hahahah
Thumbs up as soon as I heard you say no car wash.😂 Seriously I'm in groups where people agonize over scratches and wear on something they scratch in/out of kydex holsters, haha.
Great video, man. I'm 54+ yrs old with scars. My guns and cars and guitars all look like they're enjoying this world. Hope you all stay safe and enjoy peace.🤘
I purchased this as my first Glock. I’ve been shooting XDM and Beretta. I wanted something that would run for 1000 years. Moral of the story is I like the grip, I like the sights, I like the controls, and it works well concealed. Thanks for the video. My New Years resolution is to put 3K rounds through this thing and smooth it out.
Than buy a sig p226
Thank you for your sober, mature no nonsense presentation. I'm just starting out enjoying my G19X and a Streamlight TLR-1HL. It's a new addition to my CZ metal pistols, H&K VP70Z staple gun 9😁, and a few Walthers family.
Suffer no fools & whining posers. 💥☮️⚖️🇺🇲✌️

I got one last week and it has exceeded my expectations shoots smoother than I expected. Very happy with my purchase
This one is at just about 10,000 rounds now. Getting ready to do another updated review. Still holding strong.
@@RTTGunsGear what grain do you reload to?
@@Stihl4life I don't reload. But I shoot mainly 115gr and 124gr
I've got the same set up here & just took her out yesterday and at 25 yards? I was smoking that X on the target, about a 6" group..
She hits where ya aim. I polished the trigger bar, disconnector, plunger, etc. & Found the trigger bar was rubbing against the frame. I sanded that down & boy what a change it made in that trigger & reset.
I wash, buff wax and take my gun to the car wash 😂😂😂
The sound of you unholstering with your setup is ASMR gold.
Great video, great questions and answer segment! I agree entirely with your overall assessment, this is my EDC pistol for all the reasons you so eloquently expressed!
Just picked it up this morning!! On my way to the range tomorrow....cant wait 👍🏼
The same people bitching are the same people who buy a Glock and immediately replace half of the parts, including the barrel. I carry a gen 3 stock 19. I did, after seeing a Pat McNamara video, try how he inserts his whole finger on the trigger. Any problem I had with a Glock trigger disappeared. This was a good and honest video. I subscribed and hit the notification button. I generally watch a few videos before I subscribe and a few more before the notification button. I like your style, Sir. Good job from an OLD Marine!
I think I'm in the minority when I say the finger grooves don't bother me. In fact, they help me to grip the gun the exact same way, each and every time.
Simple answer to all comments you addressed is it was not made for you and me. It was made for our “military”. Was not intended to be released for civilians. And all you’re answers to his comments are right!👌
Best review I have seen on this weapon. I have a 19X and love it as well.
A good honest man's opinion! I agree because I have one! I like it and mine sits on the nightstand!
It’s funny how you covered all the complains and turn them into something positive. Awesome video love it. Keep up the great work sir
Best review yet man, I have had mine for only a few months but I agree very flat smooth shooter. Good to see after 5000 rounds. Love mine man thanks for the vid.
I just made a dremel cut that made mine accept gen 5's, and I kept the front shelf. (even though my hands are too small to make use of that grip extension up front. My freakishly long fingers can make use of it with my non dominant hand pinky however.)
Thank you fo the review on that model , I recently purchased the Glock 45. Very good weapon and I agree people complain about the wrongs things, lol !!!
Well-delivered Sir! Enjoyed it.....securing my 9x19 today! I'll be tuning in! God Bless!
Best selling Glock in a 12 month period out of all Glock models. Over 100,000 sold in the first 6 months
I agree, even though mine has been slightly modified, with hight cut trigger guard, cut beavertail adaptor, Talon Grips, and Ameriglo I-dot Pro sights. My finish has started to melt off, got some nasty pitting on the rear of the slide and around the rear sight. To me, it's a tool but the pitting is getting worse and this is just my body sweat, oh well it is what it is, I might refinish it sometime here soon. Good project for gunsmith school. Also, I replaced the lanyard loop plug with a different plug. Yeah and the dingus went bye-bye with a Dremel not cause of the magazine issue, just because I didn't like it.
I forgot to add, mine is hitting well over the 5,000+ rounds also and still going, shooting, brass, JHP, Steel case, Brown Bear ammunition without an issue yet. I also put in a Ghost Angel connector bar in it.
I love my 19X, best handling pistol I own.
The only complaint I had with the 19x was the colour, but the more I see it, the more I like it. It just feels right!
I just got one. I'm starting to feel like it's a glock 45 spray painted gold
Grab a G45 9mm you will like them both. I have both (19x,G45) and have a terrible time deciding which one I want to carry.
At first I didn't like the color. I bought it because it felt the best in my hands, which in my opinion I think means the most. I plan on getting mine coated very soon thought, even though the color is growing on me.
I just got this gun and I really like it so far. I’m actually gonna get the mos version as well.
it does not come mos?
Is that for the sights? I have one and i heard the newer ones are optic ready
Thank you for keeping it real and to the point. I love these glock 19x, but California Gov hates these...
Great comments and review, I appreciate seeing someone who knows the critical points of shooting with a pistol.
I use x-grips on my 19 while running 17 mags which gives me the same 17 grip length.......my $15 solution to upgrading
Unless you have the G45, then your G19 with extended mags isn’t the same as the 19x. I think they changed the barrel from the G19 when making the 19x.
@@csutcliff There's a whole lot wrong with Mr. Gunn's statement. The x-grip is somewhat known to pinch the palm of your hand, if you have meaty hands. Not only has there been and improvement on the barrel, but the trigger as well. And the grip profile and feel from the 19 to the 17 (19x) is different.
Sure you can throw a g17 mag into a g19. I've done it fir years without the stupid grip inserts. But a replacement for the 19x, it absolutely isn't.
And you have the option of going back to a smaller more concealable carry.
Yeah I read some of the internet complaints-“short slide long grip doesn’t make sense” etc. But I like to see for myself, so I picked one up and it just felt good. Better than the Sig P320 (early version). Anyways, bought one and it’s one of my better shooting Glocks. With the lanyard loop, make it a great keychain too. Lot of military pistols have provisions for lanyards, surprised that was a complaint
The tab is a combat feature.. It is there to protect the magazine base plate from impact which could damage the magazine or the magazine catch.
Hope ur channel goes to the moon. Out of the 20 videos I watched after I already purchased mine, yours is by far my favorite. Very real person no bullshit 🤝🏽keep it up
Thank you!!
I love my 19x it goes in and out of my truck every day as a better alternative to my pocket carry.
I've always appreciated glock, I was just never a big fan... but since the inception of this model, my interest has been peaked
Cabelas had them 100$ off so I got one
Bought one today. Super happy.
I just picked up my 1st Glock, it was the 19x just got it two days ago can’t wait to shoot it
Went to look at a 34 and walked out with the 19x. Very happy so far. Thanks for a solid review.
You should do a 2-3 year review on how the 19x is holding up and any modifications you added.
I have a 10,000+ round review/update that I did sometime last year. No modifications or part replacements have been done.
Good and straight-to-the-point review. I own G19X too and it's the best Glock pistol I've shot so far. How about coating? Does it wear out in your case? Mine does a bit at front on both sides of the slide. Maybe it's more visible because of coyote color. Greetings from Poland.
I have very minor coating wear on the corners of the slide near the muzzle. I can only assume that is holster wear. And a very small amount on the top of the slide from the Safariland holster locking mechanism.
@@RTTGunsGear Same as me, virtually similar as on thumbnail pic of this vid so it's because of holster, without a doubt. I'm running TREX Ragnarok as Safariland don't have holsters for G19X and TLR2 combo.
Straight to the point. I like this guy.
I have xl hands and the 19x feels custom made to my hand. Waiting for the range to open so I can put the first rounds thru it.
19X is my nightstand gun cause I agree with you Sir. 19X is an absolute awesome blaster. I also prefer the ball & cup Factory sights that every Karen cries about LOL.
I love my 19x. Have the tlr1s on it. It's so far one of my best shooters. I rotate between thia the M17 and the shield 9mm.
Love this review, definitely honest on all points
Just found your channel today, and i gotta say i like your attitude, and on top of that your right about what your saying, it's july 2021 and i made the jump to the 19x and feel good about it
Dude it’s so annoying when you keep ejecting the mag and putting it back in other then that great video I love my 19x
He just wants you to know the mag release works.
I love mine also. I wish it came with the MOS option because I would love to put a Trijicon SRO on it.
Thanks for watching! Personally I would rather mill the slide. The MOS isn't as stable.
I own several glocks …17 and 19 gen 5 …a couple gen 4s also ..purchased the Glock 19x and is by far my favorite ..I’ve never cared to much for the flared mag wells on the gen 5s ..that’s just nick picking though ..great guns ..great review
Great review, I knew I was going to love this gun when it came out and I’m ready to buy a second. I agree with everything you said here. Out of dozens of Glocks I’ve owned over the years, this is definitely my favorite and a keeper.
I just found your channel and subbed, I like your opinion and attitude.
Your attitude is absolutely on point. Honest people earn my respect. I completely agree with this review. If only people wouldn’t bitch and complain.
I bought a 19X a few months ago for the fit and the color. Love it
To be honest I love the 19x. It has replaced my s&w m&p 2.0c as my winter carry gun. It shoots great and feels awesome in my hand.
Personally, I like to wear my 19x around my neck, when in season :). The lanyard loop is essential
