    I went to check out the Gen 5 Glock 19's today, and somehow a 19X followed me home. I don't normally like guns with these desert-tan finishes, but the 19X's balance was simply too good to walk away from.

    I'll provide more of a write-up after this weekend's range session, but I have to say that the out-f-the-box package looks good. Three 17 round magazines, two of which have +2 grip extensions. Four extra back straps. and the usual speed loader, bore swab, lock, paperwork, etc. And it come out of the box with the night sights ... which aren't generally something I care about, but these seem pretty subdued and should work fine.

    I’ve had mine a few months now and got to say it’s my favorite of the four Glocks I own. I did replace the trigger with the McMaster Gen 3 mod. Very accurate too.

    Love mine as well, the full size grip is fantastic and already having 19 holsters laying around it works for me. I am about to custom out my gen 4 19 and the 19x will remain stock.

    If the 19x were opposite of what they made it(17 slide, 19 size grip) I’d already have one.

    "The Long Slide for Glock 19 by Brownells lets you enjoy the benefits of a full-length G17 slide on the compact G19 frame. Extra length gives a longer sight radius for better shot placement, while also aiding in recoil control. The shorter G19 grip is an excellent option for those who carry concealed and have trouble with larger grip "printing" but are OK with the full-size pistol’s longer slide. And it aids shooters with smaller hands who find the full-sized G17 grip cumbersome."

    If you have a Gen 5 G17 and Gen 5 G19 you can swap slides and see what you like best.
