thanks for watching peace love and guns today we're gonna be taking a look at the Glock
19x thanks for tuning so standard clock box color to fit the color of the gun itself one
flush fit magazine - two-plus magazines you got a loader you got a brush and somewhere in here
you got a barrel cleaning rod with brush and of course your obligatory pistol lock that makes
the pistol useless in the event that you should need to use it let it sit safe because this gun
will get up and do things if you don't watch it just taking a look at the Glock 19 X the Glock
19 X is a marriage of the Glock 17 size frame with a Glock 19 size barrel which is to say a
full size handgun grip with a somewhat compact barrel length in my opinion the the Glock 19 is
a full size handgun but some people don't like the extra length that a 17 offers now the Glock
19 X is more than just a compact length barrel and slide assembly on a full size grip it comes
as a package in the beautiful coloration that you see that that flat dark earth with that kind of
semi metallic finish it comes with glock night sights and they have tritium vials and i'm nice
bright white outlines three variety it's got a nice flat front if for whatever reason you'd
like to boot stroke or built stroke or holster stroke your slide in the event of a malfunction
or whatever you can do that on that backs back sight so they've put a lot of thought into this
thing some other differences are in that the the bottom of the grip has a little bit of a flare
to it going out this away I feel like that that's rather nice probably the most notable difference
is you've got a lanyard loop which is removable it's just got a little pin if anybody's familiar
with the Glock plugs it would just come out just like that and they'd remove the finger grooves so
that was one of the main complaints that a lot of you know anti Glock guys or Glock guys that
begrudgingly had to file down these finger grooves so that was a big thing in the Glock aftermarket
for a long time another thing they did was they put a stock undercut underneath and that might
not be enough for some uber competition guys but man I think it feels really good being able to
get in there and get a good high tank grip on the gun so just a nut show Glock compact slide length
it's the size of a 19 you've got a full-sized grip a lanyard loop it's a gin for setup for the
most part and it's got a gin for recoil spring in it the barrel that they put on this thing is
called the Glock marksman barrel and if I'm not mistaken it's a fully supported chamber so you
can use reloads with this without the without the danger of cases blowing out from reloaded brass
you just want to take a look typically Glock has polygonal rifling and this does not appear to be
the case just by looking at it yeah this looks like it has regular lands and grooves in it so
another complaint about Glocks for real odors is that the lead would also build up in the polygonal
rifling because they have like a hexagon bore or an octagon anyway the polygonal rifling doesn't
take well to like leg cast bullet it's not that a lot of people shoot those anyway but this has
typical lands and grooves and a lot of people would just replace this barrel with a barrel
with a fully supported chamber and non octagonal or polygonal rifling so that's kind of cool that
they do that out of the box they're kind of giving the competition shooter or the B the Glock mater
they're giving the Glock mater you're getting the Glock modders Glock right out of the box and all
of this comes in at about six hundred dollars roundabouts so it's a little bit more expensive
than the now aging FNS which was my preference back in the day but had this been available
when I bought this this would have been a pretty strong running option I mean you get two of these
magazines with a plus two extension so you get 19 rounds in the magazine which competes with the XDM
and all kinds of other guns which you might pay you don't have the same for me they don't have
the same aesthetic and feel and you get 117 round full-sized magazine so that's kind of Newton kind
of another thing that we noticed and get your Glock you got your gin for Glock recoil spring
that's a double capture brief oil spring and you kind of get this nice little purple finish on the
inside probably as a result of heat treating or the tenifer process or something but for whatever
reason with this coloration on the outside in this line you get that on the inside so that's
kind of cool and the gun goes back together in a predictable manner make sure your rails are own
good clock 19 X so you guys can see it with the extension again from the other side you
also of course get the generation 4 clock backstraps so the gun as it comes is the small
you've got medium and large back strap back straps for the gun as well and then you have medium and
large back straps with the beaver tail my personal preference supposed to run one of these that I
remember if I use the medium or the large on my 17 but I rather liked it for whatever reason just
fit my hands and I rather like the beaver tail on there so far so good I haven't got to shoot this
yet but all indications and research that I've done show that this thing is basically a Glock
generation 4 with the aforementioned removal of the finger grooves which nobody likes a
nice high cut on the underneath the trigger which everybody likes and this is a bit of a point of
contention with some people but I rather like it because it kind of delineate the bottom of
the pistol it almost gives you a little bit of a magwell flare you've got the lanyard loop of
course if I owned this gun I would probably take that right off but it's there for law enforcement
or military types that for whatever reason they would use a lanyard standard light rail so that
you can attach your light or laser combo onto there and yeah beautiful package great color
and they're coming out with black soon all right just to do a size comparison because no initial
impressions review would be complete without that here we have the FNS nine the FNS nine is
a full-size grip with a compact frame so these guns are actually very similar in that regard
so just to kind of take a look at the footprints of these guns approximately four inch barrels on
both and they look pretty well similarly sized if when you stand the guns up on their sights they
are very similarly sized they're almost exactly the same dimensions so for for me I think that
that's a that's kind of cool you don't have super long barrel lengths or unnecessarily long barrel
length you get accuracy you would expect out of a handgun they never really noticed my 17 to be
more accurate than the FNS nine then any glock shooting that I've done on a 19 never really
noticed that I shot a whole lot better with the 17 so in a kind of duty pistol this is a great barrel
and slide length and then with the ammunition capacity that we know and love both of these
are 17 plus 1 with flush fitting magazines and of course with this guy you're getting the plus 2 on
each yeah and just so you guys get a feel for what the sights look like where is my lens at this is
what the sight picture looks like with the Glock 9 Sates they're actually kind of a little profile
sight rather like that they're rather bold and you can even see the tritium glowing and we're
out in bright daylight so your slide release is going to go ahead and be ambidextrous so if
slide can be locked from both sides Glock doesn't like to call this a slide release and I don't use
it as such but if for whatever reason you are that person and you put an extendo slide lock on there
you can use it from both sides so that's cool the magazine release like the gen force is also
reversible so you can this is simple the gun then put it in from the other side and then you've got
the button press e thingy for the left hand ECE people's so that's cool and of course it's got
the external extractor which the Gen 4 started with the owner this seems to think that the
trigger is better than previous clock iterations I don't notice the difference it feels like a
brand new Glock trigger which to me has always been just fine very serviceable so we'd like to
thank demo outdoors for letting us take a look at this today and you know kick it out and shoot
you know just get some get some range time with how we like tuna
