So I stopped in to my local gun store to browse yesterday. Was not going to buy anything, was there to browse and just look around. I saw the Glock 19X in the case. I had NO interest in this gun, but I asked the clerk to see the gun.
I've been a long time Glock fan. Ive owned a ton of them, perhaps 40-50 of them over the past 20 years. That being said I HATE the finger grooves on the 3rd and 4th generation pistols. I was very happy to see Glock remove the finger grooves on the 5th gen pistols. Glock totally screwed up the grip on the 5th gen Glock 19. It has a cutout in the front bottom of the grip to facilitate ripping the mag out in a malfunction. The 5th gen G19 grip is unusable by me, its so bad.
Enter the G19X. Its a 5th gen G17 frame, with a G19 slide. And it just melted into my hands. The most comfortable Glock grip I have ever felt. I had no interest in the G19X, until I actually had it in my hands. It just feels so well balanced, and perfect in the hand. This model comes standard with night sights, one 17 round magazine, and two magazines with plus 2 base-plates (19 round). It also comes with 4 back straps you can add to the pistol to fit your hand.
This pistol is close to what Glock submitted for the military pistol trials. As such, it is a Coyote Brown or Desert Tan type color. I dont really care about the color one way or the other, and probably would have just bought a black one, but those are not available yet.
I think Glock fans will really like this pistol.
