19X
Anyone else get to play with a 19X? So far I'm a big fan. I wasn't excited when I heard about it, then I held one and had to have it. Once I shot it I fell in love. Just wish it came in 45.

Re: 19X
I like the idea of it. I wish it came in black. I have never held one though. If they release in black, I'll likely want one.

Re: 19X
Picked one up.
So far, I like it. Ordered some extra mags. Probably going to half "Roland Special" it. Everything but the RMR
I have big hands so the big grip is nice.

Re: 19X
I liked it so much, I bought two
Feels like a Glock and shoots like a Sig.
The Match barrel Glock used in these actually makes a significant difference (at least for me it did) in the accuracy of this pistol.
It is not a likely to be a CCP for you but, it is accurate as heck and the capacity is very nice (1x17rds and 2x 19rds come with it).
This one is a must have for Glock fans.

Re: 19X
Ive been carrying mine around concealed without issue. Maybe a different story in the summer.
The gen 5 trigger is really nice. Feels smoother with a crisper break.

Re: 19X
When I first saw the 19X I was like "really Glock...cmon?" The msrp (749) was enough to make me balk at the thing. I even texted a pic or two of it with buddies, making fun of it.
But then the funniest thing happened. I was seeing it online more and more and I kept getting intrigued by it, little by little. Finally one day I was like... FINE.... I'll watch some YouTube videos and look up online prices. By the end of that day I had decided my tax refund would be allocated to a 19X, provided I could get it locally for UNDER $700 (online prices seemed to be 650 and up). So the search commenced.
Within a couple days I was surprised to find it in stock at a LGS for $599. Needless to say one came home with me that day. I could not be happier with it. Granted I only have 500 rounds thru it so far but it's such a pleasure to shoot. I have had two other gen 4 Glock 19s (one of which I still own) and I love them. They've always been my go to choice for EDC. I also have a CZ P10c which had sort of become my recent favorite 9mm to train with. I'm rethinking this now because of the 19X.
I never would have imagined that something as mundane as a "19 slide on a 17 grip" would be so amazing, but it seriously seems to achieve some sort of "zen" state of balance and feel! Silly I know, but try one out for yourself and see if what I'm saying isn't true!

Re: 19X
Why is the price so high? Most poly guns are much cheaper
Is it because they come with 3 mags?
I am definitely intrigued by it though, just can't seem to justify the price for a glock though?

Re: 19X
I was at GW Friday to buy a G43 and checked out the G19X. Blue Label pricing for LE/Mil is $534 for the 19X and 3 mags. I'm perplexed why local retail pricing is over $625. BTW, Blue Label pricing on a G43 with factory night sights and 3 mags was $415 plus tax. So if you qualify for Blue Label pricing (1st Responder or Active/Res/Ret Military) on Glock pistols it's well worth buying there.Flawlessfoose wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 6:03 pmWhy is the price so high?

Re: 19X
Yep and those are less than $500 with Blue Label pricing and Glock night sights at GW-LE. Prob going to pick one up next month. Now if they made a G45 MOS.....Flawlessfoose wrote: ↑Wed Sep 26, 2018 1:43 pmLooks like you got what you asked for

Re: 19X
I believe a lot has to do with night sights and the higher capacity mags. 1-17rd and 2-19rd...

Re: 19X
From what I can tell, the 19 rd mags are just regular G17 mags with Glock +2 extenders. That should add about $16 to the price. Blue Label price on the 19X isn’t too bad, but still $130 over a G17 or 19 with NS and 3 mags.Haynes and Sons Guns wrote: ↑Thu Sep 27, 2018 10:56 pmI believe a lot has to do with night sights and the higher capacity mags. 1-17rd and 2-19rd...
