So many retards think Glock has created something brand new to the world of firearms with this model 19x......700 dollars for a glock 19 with a glock 17 frame???? Rofl.
According to Larry Vickers and some inside info that he had, the Glock was beaten by SIG at the end because of cost. As far as performance went it actually outperformed the SIG, but the SIG was good enough and cheaper so that's that.
Just got home from purchasing this Glock 19x. Sitting in my chair unboxing it while watching this video. Sootch00 you’re the one that influenced my purchase. Thanks for your awesome videos. Your my favorite.

Secondly, I've been working at a gun store and have had plenty of time to handle Glocks. I've realized that Glock makes a fine product. The Glock 19X is my first Glock.

The Calli of hand guns Glocks work better any other made sis why FBI cil us marshall s special forces baby seals and all others use them then wount stop
I just found a Glock 19X in Stock ! Last One so I bought it and so far I really like it. My first 200 Rounds it shot flawless ! Like Your Channel ! Do a great job explaining Glock Pistols !
I've said it for 4 decades, the beautiful thing about the Commander, is the full size Government frame with the shorter length slide !!! I'm a G-17 Guy, now I would buy this Glock ! Thanks Sootch00.
Saw Colin Noir's review & how he called this his "favorite Glock" of them all! Just bought one, ran to range & couldn't put it down. Unique balance that makes shooting this really fun. Already anxious to shoot it again! GREAT gun!
Very nice review! I own an original Glock 19 that has never failed through about 100K rounds. It is a daily carry IWB and is extremely comfortable. There are two features of the 19X that I would like to have on my original, the fall free mags and the rail on the underside of the frame. As a much younger man (about 38 yrs as opposed to my current 70 yrs) I used this weapon on hit reactive bobber targets on range #3, Ft. Meade, MD to great success out to 750 yards. The 124 gr Hydro-Shock rounds required placing the front sight base at the top of the rear sight and then holding over about 12' for consistent hits. The 19X appears to have all of the improvements that even us older guys would appreciate!
Instead of being snarky you can pick up on a few clues. Here's one. "Gen 5 17 rd mags will need to have an original base plate installed to work." This means that the MAGAZINE will work, but not the BASEPLATE See those words? they mean things. You can't just make things up in your head to fit whatever you're trying to say. The magazines work. The baseplates do not. Aaaaand the baseplates are a removable part. Which is whyyyyyyy you can switch them out and they work. 3 dollar baseplate or 25 dollar magazine. You pick.
Picked up a 19X for $599. There is definitely something different about this gun, I picked it up and couldn’t put it back down I carry a gen 4 G26 or G19, but this is different. The trigger is definitely a Glock trigger, yet something about it feels better, not drastic, but noticeably better. Great review!
I only wish the 19x were that cheap. Here in Canada they are $869. I mean yeah our health care kicks the shit outta the American healthcare but our guns are super over priced
@@windwalker2731 the guns in Canada are about the same price as they are in America. It's because the Canadian dollar is worth less. 1.4 to 1 ratio. $600 G19X in America multiplied by 1.4 is $840. So basically the same price lol. With transfer fees I got my G19x for $640, so $896 in Canadian money
@@windwalker2731 your "healthcare" is fucking garbage. You have insanely long wait times. Low quality and subpar "doctors" that dont know their ass from their elbow. And everyone pays even more out of their hard earned money in taxes to support your trasg system lol. Buncha canCUCKS
This Glock 19X has all the stuff you want on a glock 19. Plus it comes with one 17 round mag and 2 19 round mags. Also iron sights with 4 back straps and a cool bronze color, what more do you want from Glock. Long live the republic Sootch00.
So happy that you and Chris Bartocci have the integrity to review and opine on a firearm that you have in your physical possession and have actually fired - unlike the other internet gun “experts” who only post pics and speak out of their rectums.
Hey man. I’ve been a subscriber for years. Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your channel. I have bought many guns off of your reviews and I’ve never been disappointed. I’m in law enforcement in NJ. Thanks again
I'm a proud new owner of the Glock 19X. My first Glock. Haven't shot it yet but looking forward to it. Thanks for the informative video. Long live the Republic.
I managed to get my hands on one earlier today, just the simple fact knowing this is discontinued and adored in the gun community and seen as a diamond, I am so happy I came across this gem
Finally, a Glock worth buying that I don't need to spend $100s on to make it run the way I want it. Good out of the box. Have to wait until I retire and leave Commifornia.
Your review is professional & no nonsense. In fact I've seen only a few unbiased detailed analyses conducted this well. I'm a Sig Sauer & Desert Eagle fan but by demonstration you've sold me on this Glock.
@Tyler Herndon I've always loved the look of glocks. Ordered a G19x online the other day for my new hunting sidearm. I currently carry a G48 and G43 for public places and the woods. For the G19x the Iron night sights and higher capacity mags are better suited for the woods and would definitely fair better in a coyote or cougar attack. Plus I can share magazines with my UDP-9 PDW if I'm using that as a primary with the G19x as a secondary
I just bought this today didn't realize it was anything special I haven't bought a Glock since my Gen 2 model 22. Glad to see you made a good choice it was Mark down as well
The only reason Sig won was because they underbid it by like 100 million... plain and simple they were the cheaper contract. Glock is so much better in my opinion. I love mine
Yep, Glock much better choice. At least at some levels of the military we still get to pick what we use.... the Sig won't be on that list. Lost a ton of respect for Sig.
I can't believe they did that. That's an incredible amount of money to lose. (Or not gain). Not surprised though given Sigs reputation for poor quality control. This is good for us shooters. Because it forces Glock to depend on the public for money.

For all of the haters out there - I've carried a Glock since 1993 as a duty weapon and for personal defense. From my experience, they are the most reliable handgun out there, except for a wheel gun, which I carried as a duty weapon for four years before making the transition to the semi auto. I've fired Smith's, Walthers, Sigs and the like. The big difference for me is the simplicity of the Glock. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)! I currently have a Gen 3, which is my all time favorite. No need to "upgrade" though. I think they got it right with that model. Just my humble opinion.
Aaron Anderson a hundred percent agree with you sir absolutely ridiculous how certain magazines from a certain generation pistol won't fit in another generation pistol. Glock was retarded on their Gen 5 that pistol sucked.
Agreed, I think this is just about useless. Looks cool but short slide on a long frame? You would have to buy 3 glocks to get all the features the gen 5 should have. Also when everyone's doing front serrations I can't understand why the 19x wouldn't have them, or gen 5 for that matter.
Dennis Cronin I like the 19x. But the magazine compatibility is stupid. We’re approaching Apple business tactic where you have to buy a new bag of 20 dollar dongles for every device you buy
Im 6'6 with big as hands Thank you Glock for bringing this to market. The grip length was the main thing that kept me from picking up a 19 previously. With the longer yet more narrow grip this is a Glock im actually looking forwards to. Thanks for the review Sootch00!!
You are very welcome, and thank you for the excellent videos. I posted an article on All Outdoor and featured your video in it, and I posted a thread on the handgun section of survivalistboards forum and posted the video there also.
It is a stupid statement. For example, a reflex is a movement that is beyond you control. If your finger is a safety, then you do not have control of your safety. A real safety is not affected by emotions, fear, anger... etc. Your mind and finger are. During times of extreme stress we lose fine motor control. So during times of extreme stress you lose control of your finger safety.
Your reply is an excellent example of the problem. You think that you can defy body mechanics, and its just not possible. Do you control your reflexes? Nope. Do you jump when something scares you? Yep. A safety is a mechanical device. Your finger is flesh and bone and can not be a safety.
It seems a lot of people confuse safely using something with a safety feature. Keeping your finger off the trigger is using the gun safely. Using something safely, is not the same as a safety device.
We need a GLOCK 17X Carry. 17 slide with the 19 frame. Love everything about this 19X model except the frame grip length. No real reason to get this if you have a 17 but it sure looks cool. Come on GLOCK, make me buy another Glock.
Well sir your wish is answered they finally came out with the Glock 49 You can also buy a gen 5 19 and a Glock 47 and have 4 guns in 2. Thinking about the 49!
In Costa Rica a Glock 19x goes for 1,250 dollars here and still my dumb ass wants to buy it just simply love it. Just had it in my hand and fell in love also thinking about the glock g23 .40
I use this as my current duty firearm. I put an NDZ steel guide ride in as well as a custom slide plate. When i replaced the slide plate i verified that it has factory Glock maritime cups already installed! Great Glock!
Levi Black Yea, Ive seen people do that. And crazier shit, like the Pinkus 26L. I want one from the factory though. With that slide finish and everything else this one offers.
🤔 Something tells me that Glock was confident they were going to win the military contract, so much so that they jumped the gun(no pun intended)and started mass-producing the model. The 3 things that bring me to this conclusion is color scheme, as we seem to be deployed in and near desert theaters for the most part. The second would be the lanyard loop integrated from the factory. Third would be the metal sites as standard equipment. Glock was not about to lose money over 2nd place finish, so they ended up making lemonade. If my theory IS accurate, it’s the best possible blunder they could’ve ever hoped for because this model is going to sell like hot cakes.
Exactly my thoughts🙌 I also thinks thats why they didnt budge on their prices when trying to sell to the military…thinking the military was going to pick them no matter what they charge$
Thank all you old heads for giving Glock a good name . You helped a young buck like myself get the best pistols on the market . Glock or nothing for me.
Received mine 2 days ago I never owned a Glock before just about everything else I'm not going back .This is a very good shooter ,it's the most comfortable in my old hands ....I love it.
faraway daddy The ones that aren't sitting around in an armory or being used have been given to partner nations. They'll probably have the P320s before all the Army gets there hands on them. Was that way with M4s.
Carried an M9 in Marines. Not that great. Cool they are metal. But old as hell. Military grade aka junk and was cheapest weapon they could buy in bulk.
As of 3/2023 588.oo clams all day long. Just purchased a G19X. A new Legend. Great job GLOCK. Compliments my G17L and G40 10mm with 6.02"barrels. Unlike other reviews, you got it right Sootch 👍 I think this is the most ergonomic and balanced GLOCK today. This from a CZ, Walther and VP70Z owner. 💥☮️🇺🇲✌️
Thanks for the video Sootch. I just picked up one of these guns off of gun broker and I really like it a lot. I have a couple of the big Glocks, a G20 and a G21, but I never paid too much attention to the other Glocks because the only model I had handled was the G19 which didn't feel right in my hand. But this one feels great in my hand. It has become my favorite pistol. So much so that I bought the G45 also.
Thank you for reviewing it, and personal opinion! I have something similar with Beretta 92 Centurion, full size frame, and shorter slide/barrel, and I love it.
I was just picking. The whole "Does it take Glock mags" joke from the Military Arms channel comments section, and some other channels, I just thought it was funny. :P
Thanks for replying! I know it’s difficult to answer back at times with so many followers. I have learned so much from your knowledge and made many great purchases that fit my pou ! Most recent a Kahr K40 which is best shooting 40 s&w I’ve ever owned , accuracy and dependable right out of the box . Thanks for all you do ,honesty and integrity in all your reviews . K
Love both the 19x and g45 but there’s something about the g45 that I just really like. I own both and actually ended up turning the g45 into a 19x by adding the +2 oem mag extensions, oem lanyard loop, Glock night sights, Glock maritime spring cups and oem extended controls. After making them basically identical, I still gravitate towards the g45. Not sure why. But you can’t go wrong with either. Great video!
Don, thank you for introducing me to my next firearm purchase! Can you please tell me if these will still run Gen 2-3 & 4 Glock magazine? As I don't know much about or own a Gen 5.
Thanks Steve! Yes, it's compatible with all OEM mags, it's just the base Plate on the Gen 5 and can be replaced with originals. Always appreciated Brother!
I don’t know why people complain about the standard plastic Glock sights. They cost you about $5. If you change them, you’re out $5. If you don’t like the sights this gun comes with and you change them, you’re out $75. Glock gives you all but free sights knowing everyone has their preferred sights that you’ll want on the gun anyway.
Please Note: All Glock Generation 17 rd magazine will work in the G19X. The Gen 5 Base pads can be exchanged for originals and work fine. Magpul and ETS mags will also fit.

Aaron Anderson a hundred percent agree with you sir absolutely ridiculous how certain magazines from a certain generation pistol won't fit in another generation pistol. Glock was retarded on their Gen 5 that pistol sucked.
Agreed, I think this is just about useless. Looks cool but short slide on a long frame? You would have to buy 3 glocks to get all the features the gen 5 should have. Also when everyone's doing front serrations I can't understand why the 19x wouldn't have them, or gen 5 for that matter.
Dennis Cronin I like the 19x. But the magazine compatibility is stupid. We’re approaching Apple business tactic where you have to buy a new bag of 20 dollar dongles for every device you buy
Doesn't it use normal G17 mags guys? I mean who cares if it doesn't use Gen 5 mags, as long as it'll use older Glock mags we are good.
Normal Gen 4 Glock magazines. Their stupid Gen 5 magazines will not fit.
Hello to you again,
I held this firearm recently and right away I felt the difference, no doubt at all.
I am thankful for your review.
Be well
Im 6'6 with big as hands Thank you Glock for bringing this to market. The grip length was the main thing that kept me from picking up a 19 previously. With the longer yet more narrow grip this is a Glock im actually looking forwards to. Thanks for the review Sootch00!!
I am very glad you did not say "Your finger is your safety." Excellent video. I am using it for an article on AllOutdoor.
Thanks Brother! I appreciate what you do on Survival Boards.
You are very welcome, and thank you for the excellent videos. I posted an article on All Outdoor and featured your video in it, and I posted a thread on the handgun section of survivalistboards forum and posted the video there also.
It is a stupid statement. For example, a reflex is a movement that is beyond you control. If your finger is a safety, then you do not have control of your safety.
A real safety is not affected by emotions, fear, anger... etc. Your mind and finger are. During times of extreme stress we lose fine motor control. So during times of extreme stress you lose control of your finger safety.
Your reply is an excellent example of the problem. You think that you can defy body mechanics, and its just not possible. Do you control your reflexes? Nope. Do you jump when something scares you? Yep. A safety is a mechanical device. Your finger is flesh and bone and can not be a safety.
It seems a lot of people confuse safely using something with a safety feature. Keeping your finger off the trigger is using the gun safely. Using something safely, is not the same as a safety device.
We need a GLOCK 17X Carry. 17 slide with the 19 frame. Love everything about this 19X model except the frame grip length. No real reason to get this if you have a 17 but it sure looks cool. Come on GLOCK, make me buy another Glock.
chrizzis77 ***** 17L with a 19 frame***
34 slide with 26 frame
Well sir your wish is answered they finally came out with the Glock 49
You can also buy a gen 5 19 and a Glock 47 and have 4 guns in 2.
Thinking about the 49!
Just picked mine up this morning!! Now i just need to find some ammo 😩
same boat lol
crazy how long this "shortage" is lasting
In Costa Rica a Glock 19x goes for 1,250 dollars here and still my dumb ass wants to buy it just simply love it. Just had it in my hand and fell in love also thinking about the glock g23 .40
Great Video, ordered a 19X today. Also, love the intro music, has a “Game of Thrones” aspect to it! Keep the vids coming. Long live the republic!
Finally someone else understands that we do not need to reinvent the wheel when it comes to Glocks!
Exactly. Thanks PT
So why is every "new" Glock worthy of ridiculous amounts of propaganda, promotion and sales pitch?
Great review Sootch. Good to see you posting again. Hope you had a great Christmas and zNew Year's Day!
Thanks NBT! Happy New Year to You and Yours!
Great review. Gotta love Glock reliability. Knowledge is Power. Thanks
I use this as my current duty firearm. I put an NDZ steel guide ride in as well as a custom slide plate. When i replaced the slide plate i verified that it has factory Glock maritime cups already installed! Great Glock!
I have to Say this is one of the Best GLOCK G19X Videos I seen.
I'd like a Glock 19Y.
With a 19 length grip, and a 17 length barrel.
Joe Morrell cut a polymer 80 pf940 v2 frame down to g19 length
Levi Black Yea, Ive seen people do that. And crazier shit, like the Pinkus 26L. I want one from the factory though. With that slide finish and everything else this one offers.
Joe Morrell that would be "perfection" lol
Levi Black Haha. Perfection to me would be a true 19 sized 10mm. Man, I've been waiting for one of those for years...
Joe Morrell hell yeah I agree!
🤔 Something tells me that Glock was confident they were going to win the military contract, so much so that they jumped the gun(no pun intended)and started mass-producing the model. The 3 things that bring me to this conclusion is color scheme, as we seem to be deployed in and near desert theaters for the most part. The second would be the lanyard loop integrated from the factory. Third would be the metal sites as standard equipment. Glock was not about to lose money over 2nd place finish, so they ended up making lemonade. If my theory IS accurate, it’s the best possible blunder they could’ve ever hoped for because this model is going to sell like hot cakes.
Exactly my thoughts🙌
I also thinks thats why they didnt budge on their prices when trying to sell to the military…thinking the military was going to pick them no matter what they charge$
That is one sexy pistol!! I'll have to get one even though I have a G45 already lol.
Thank all you old heads for giving Glock a good name . You helped a young buck like myself get the best pistols on the market . Glock or nothing for me.
Same here my friend
just bought my first glock today, it was this one because of your review
whenever I go to buy a firearm I look for your videos to make the right decision well done sootch00......
Awesome video, Sootch00!
Thanks Travis!
sootch00 You are welcome, this was a darn good range review and I plan to pick one up this summer (got and AR build to do first!)
sootch00 why do you rack the slide twice?? 12:57
How's it going?? Hope your New Year went well, SOLID REVIEW!!! Long live the Republic!!! :-) :-)
Happy New Year Weed! Thanks Brother
Sootch, we need you to "carry" this for a month and report back... Ty...
Received mine 2 days ago I never owned a Glock before just about everything else I'm not going back .This is a very good shooter ,it's the most comfortable in my old hands ....I love it.
I enjoy and learn from many reviewers and gun guys. You are my favorite. Thanks much for what you do.
all i care about is when are they going to start selling off the old m9 pistols to civilians or are they gonna give/sell them all to other countries
Drew Martin They already gave them all away to other countries, you should know better.
They are still carrying M9s. At least in the middle east they are
faraway daddy The ones that aren't sitting around in an armory or being used have been given to partner nations. They'll probably have the P320s before all the Army gets there hands on them. Was that way with M4s.
Carried an M9 in Marines. Not that great. Cool they are metal. But old as hell. Military grade aka junk and was cheapest weapon they could buy in bulk.
They'll probably arm some more ISIS members with it.
May trade my vp9sk for a 19x I own mostly Glocks love simplicity of cleaning and I shoot them very well
As of 3/2023 588.oo clams all day long.
Just purchased a G19X. A new Legend. Great job GLOCK.
Compliments my G17L and G40 10mm with 6.02"barrels. Unlike other reviews, you got it right Sootch 👍 I think this is the most ergonomic and balanced GLOCK today. This from a CZ, Walther and VP70Z owner.
💥☮️🇺🇲✌️
Awesome video review. I also think it's an great addition to the Glock line-up.
Thanks Brother!
Thanks for the video Sootch. I just picked up one of these guns off of gun broker and I really like it a lot. I have a couple of the big Glocks, a G20 and a G21, but I never paid too much attention to the other Glocks because the only model I had handled was the G19 which didn't feel right in my hand. But this one feels great in my hand. It has become my favorite pistol. So much so that I bought the G45 also.
Thank you for reviewing it, and personal opinion!
I have something similar with Beretta 92 Centurion, full size frame, and shorter slide/barrel, and I love it.
Oh wow! My wife is going to kill me BUT I’m getting one!
Great review.. dammit! Hahahaha 👍🏼
M Schoenfuss so did you ever get one?
Why is your wife going to kill you for getting a Glock? Is she a Sig fan? (Kidding)
@@МыколаНетребко 😂😂
I have so many now she don’t know whats coming are going.
It's a Glock that doesn't take Glock mags.
Actually if you switch out the Gen 5 base plates to the originals they will work. All other Gen magazines are compatible
I was just picking.
The whole "Does it take Glock mags" joke from the Military Arms channel comments section, and some other channels, I just thought it was funny. :P
I'll stick with the M&P m2.0 in f.d.e , looks better and feels better
Thanks for replying! I know it’s difficult to answer back at times with so many followers. I have learned so much from your knowledge and made many great purchases that fit my pou ! Most recent a Kahr K40 which is best shooting 40 s&w I’ve ever owned , accuracy and dependable right out of the box . Thanks for all you do ,honesty and integrity in all your reviews . K
Welcome back...great I got no money left after Christmas...it'll be July before I'll be healed up
Great firearm. I just picked up one and I'm very happy with it. I've also concealed carry iwb. No issues. Learn how to dress around the gun.
What holster do you use
Every gun you review has a "crisp" trigger
xBERSERKx69 lol
Facts!😂
chalk up another great review
Love both the 19x and g45 but there’s something about the g45 that I just really like. I own both and actually ended up turning the g45 into a 19x by adding the +2 oem mag extensions, oem lanyard loop, Glock night sights, Glock maritime spring cups and oem extended controls. After making them basically identical, I still gravitate towards the g45. Not sure why. But you can’t go wrong with either. Great video!
Change firing pin and spring....get the new extractor...
@@isawit9722 can you elaborate? Aren’t they the same? New extractor? It’s Gen 5…. Did Glock release a new version?
What sights are they every time i look on the website they never available
@@KingVegeta85 I just bought Glock OEM 6.5mm night sights. They are the same. Found them on eBay.
Good to see you still have the old truck lol.... great vid.... you are the first respectable channel to review the x good job again sir.
Law enforcement has been using guns without external safeties (Glocks, revolvers) for years. Why would they US military need an external safety?
So soldiers don't shoot their selves in the femoral artery
Have you seen who they let in the Army these days? Ha ha ha
Is the 19x going to be a limited production run?
I don't think so.
Hey sootch does it take Glock mags LMAO!
I recently picked this up and absolutely love it! This was an outstanding review!
Man you guys look so comfortable shooting so fast and accurate.
you claim the internals are gen5 but the trigger spring most definitely is NOT. Please detail strip and explain
Don, thank you for introducing me to my next firearm purchase! Can you please tell me if these will still run Gen 2-3 & 4 Glock magazine? As I don't know much about or own a Gen 5.
Thanks Steve! Yes, it's compatible with all OEM mags, it's just the base Plate on the Gen 5 and can be replaced with originals. Always appreciated Brother!
great question, I searched for it before I asked it myself.
My next 9mm.
My favorite TH-cam firearms channel! Long Live the Republic!
everytime i open youtube i follow this channel very impormative
I still kinda like gen 4 more
Is the lanyard removable?
WxGuy yes it it.
I don’t know why people complain about the standard plastic Glock sights. They cost you about $5. If you change them, you’re out $5. If you don’t like the sights this gun comes with and you change them, you’re out $75. Glock gives you all but free sights knowing everyone has their preferred sights that you’ll want on the gun anyway.
Absolutely miss watching your channel. Those intros are the most epic
Greatest Glock ever made. If you in the fence about purchasing one just DO IT. Trust me and just buy it. Insanely comfortable and balanced
