Shot Placement Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I didn't see a Glock 19X thread yet (probably just didn't do enough of a search) so I thought I'd post the provocative title. But, I do love the 19X in particular, and Gen 5 is really growing on me. The 19X has incredibly comfortable ergos; I thought I needed the finger grooves but with Talon Grips on my 19X I find it even more comfortable than my Gen 4 G17. The 19X trigger (Gen 5 too) is AWESOME. Smooth, non-gritty take up, crisp break- if someone had handed me this gun and I shot it blindfolded, I would assumed it was a trigger job. I'm sure the Marksman barrel helps too, but my groupings are as good as I've shot with a Glock (or maybe that's the blindfold?). Big fan of this 19X. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusn Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) I know that Iwould like to buy one of these but i was really hoping Glock would come out with an MOS version. I put my first optic on a Ruger Mark IV and I’m hooked. Edited July 1, 2018 by Cusn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCGunner Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I love mine. I've actually been approved to carry it on duty at work. I figured the tan finish would be a killer but they didn't mind it at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmet Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The more I think about the 19X, the more I think I need one to go along with my other 19s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M7425 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I didn't see the sense of the 19x honestly...until I held one. If I didn't already have a 17, 23, 27, and a 30s, I would get a 19x. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmgunshooter Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I have a 17,19 and a 43. I really don't see the need for a 19X. Maybe in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to wait, don't shoot one. Once you do that, its over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeG36 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I didn't get the 19x when it first came out but man I'm glad I held one and saw the light. It's not a great CCW IMO but I sure do enjoy shooting it. I'll definitely add another to my collection as soon as it comes in black. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure Glock will come out with a black 19X at SHOT next year and it will become the duty choice for many agencies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 19X is in a class unto itself. From an ergonomic perspective, it's really a 17 Commander. The grip is not at all like any other 19. You'll love it either way.

Texaspoff Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 My idea of 19X perfection....one for duty carry and one for teaching at the range. TXPO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiesam1983 Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I bought a 19X and love it so much that I bought a used one (with holster wear) at a great price so that I could use if for some pretty extensive training I am doing over the next several months. If it gets beat up, I won't care. I may sell the one that I bought new, I just couldn't beat up a pristine pistol, even if it is a Glock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davem Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Love my 19X so much I bought a second one a month later! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commbloc74 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I just got one yesterday. This is the first 10 rounds out of it at 5 yards.Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Placement Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 @Commbloc74 nice shooting! I found my 19X to be equally accurate right out of the box. I'd never previously had a Glock produce a ragged hole 5 shot grouping at any distance until the 19X. The combination of the smooth trigger and Marksman barrel are fantastic. The gun balances extremely well too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Placement Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 I will say the factory night sights of the 19X aren't the best, and I'm a huge proponent of Glock factory sights (plastic or steel). I only change my Glock sights from plastic to steel, and even that is unnecessary. However, I found the 19X factory sights to be poor in just about all lighting conditions, except bright light. They were just greyed out most of the time. For self defense shooting, they are more than adequate but if I'm going to have night sights, I may as well have ones that are easy to pick up in all (most) conditions. So I popped on some Ameriglos (reddish orange front, tritium rear). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shot some 25 yard B8 targets later that day and was thrilled to put all ten shots in the black with a score of 94 / 100 in slow fire. I think I'll leave this one stock and buy another to put an RMR and comp on. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
