The Glock G19X... WTH??

First and foremost let me state this: I AM NOT A GLOCK FAN!!!
(I carry one at work because they issue it and I am required to; I have also taught firearms for over 25 years to both police and civilians mostly using the Glock)

Then I shot the G19X

And then I bought this...



G19X - Basically a Glock 19 slide on the Glock 17 frame..

I just can not find anything wrong with this pistol!!! DARN IT!!!

I have fairly large hands and the 17 frame fits me much better and for some reason the 19 length slide just works and works better than I imagined..

In comparison I own the Sig P320 and the FN : FNS-9 and love them both but this G19X just feels better in my hand, points better and I just like it..

My "Off Duty" EDC is and has been for a long time, the Sig P938, so I was not looking for a carry gun. I collect and have never really considered any Glocks simply due to the fact I consider them the "Hammer" of the pistol world. Great and reliable tool, but not worthy of collecting. Until now..

I consider this pistol to be attractive, functional, full of features and very collectable. (AARRRGGHHH I can't believe I just wrote that about a Glock!!!) However it is true.

While the longer grip will make carrying this pistol somewhat more difficult than many other options, trust me when I tell you the positives far outweigh the negatives..

So if you are in the market for a very accurate, attractive 9mm with 19+1 capability; check out the G19X.

I did, and I am glad

**Still not a Glock Fan Boy**

It's gold(en)! So pretty! It doesn't even need to be bedazzled!

a reply to: Sookiechacha

Yeah...

I really like the color as well...

I have several flat dark earth guns but none with this particular color..

Noice,

I'm a Glock tragic. Okay, it's ugly but man when you need it, the flamin thing doesn't let you down.

Would love to have a go at the G19X but that ain't gonna happen.

Great thread.

Kind regards,

bally

I always carry two guns. I need to get a concealed carry permit so I can stop wearing sleeveless shirts. Crickets love my jokes. How much was the Glock? Im going to be buying a handgun soon for the house. Not a gun nut but I want the best and you seem like the guy to ask. My hands are big. And where do keep yours when you sleep?

a reply to: Starhooker

You can find them used now for between 500 and 600 USD.. (I have even seen them as low as 475 but not sure I would trust that)

I always keep a pistol on my nightstand..

I do not have any children so it is loaded and easily accessible..

If you have children you may want to consider other, safer options..

Glocks are garbage, get a Sig if you want to hit something out to 50 yards.

a reply to: semperfortis

What gun is on the nightstand?

a reply to: Starhooker

Depends really on which gun I am currently taking to the range or cleaning..

Normally I keep either a 1911, in 45acp or 40s&w; or the Taurus Judge with 3-000 Buckshot loaded.

Which one is the best if you knew there was multiple Intruders?

a reply to: Starhooker

If you are in fear of multiple intruders, I would suggest moving.. LOL

But to answer your question, my 1911 in 40s&w is a Para Ordnance Hi-Cap and I keep her loaded with 12 rounds..

a reply to: semperfortis

Who did you buy it off?
Liberace?

a reply to: SprocketUK

Mate, all it needs is rhinestones

Did they not have it in black?

a reply to: SprocketUK

No black and I like the color and since it is mine, I suppose that is all that matters..

I love glocks and have shot one a couple of times. Love the look of them and seen a few youtubers firing the 19X

Think I'll get one myself ... oh wait I live in England

Yeah, being shot by a gun like that would only add insult to injury.

"Doc, you wouldn't believe how ugly that gun was. That guy should be embarrassed to have it. I ain't breaking into that house again until he gets a decent looking black gun. So, uh, how long will I have to wear this cast?"

a reply to: semperfortis

Yeah, dead right there.
It's just a bit blingy is all, had you down for Matt black or nickel.

I used to carry a Ruger Super Redhawk 44 mag with a nikon scope, trigger work and magna ported barrel when I lived in Montana. I didn't even have to shoot it.... Deer would just surrender at the site of it.
