Owned Glocks for 30 years & didn't rush out to get a 19X but saw one for sale about 3 months ago for $588 before taxes so I had to get one . My only regret is not getting 2 of them.
Love my 19x, kept it stock and I have 0 complaints…. I’ve put 5k through her of all types of ammo and I’ve had 0 issues. Reloads, handloads, steel, nickel, 100gr to 147 gr, +p, jhp, fmj of all types not one issue. I’ve shot it covered in mud, sand and dirt. Did the submersion test without any issues. I can carry her concealed or not. Love the way it feels and shoots. Great video. I personally love your in depth explanation that’s based on empirical evidence. You show the breakdown and explain everything. Keep up the videos brother.
Out of my Hk VP9, P320RX, Glock 17 Gen 5, Hk USP 45 and the CZ P-09, my 19X is by far my favorite to shoot. It's a proven gun with everything sorted out. The gun is cheap, the mags are cheap, upgraded sights are cheap. It's a got a dual recoil spring which is a common upgrade for some competition guns. It shoots super flat, the reset is solid. Most other guns silently reset and you can't really fee the reset. I see why Glock is the most popular sidearm chosen by many.
New subscriber, here! Excellent review! No wasted words! Thank you for using your gifts to serve the 2A community! Like you, I'm convinced the 19x is Glock's finest, out of the box, shooter!! Blessings on your continued efforts to inform us!
It's march, 2023 I just purchased a glock 19x brand new for $ 519.00 Ya just can't beat that. I had one malfunction, failure to feed, with the very first magazine I ran through it. 124gr blazer brass. Ran it some more and no problems. Very nice shooter, very low recoil 👍
Took mine to the range today and have never had a gun feel so good and shoot well right out the box. Definitely happy to have it. Swapped 19x slide to gen 5 19 and it’s a nice look aesthetically pleasing no doubt.
I’ve owned a bunch of glocks and never got excited by any of them except for the raw function. On a whim I picked up a 19x and I’m extremely impressed. Really a fine combat sidearm, nice grip, trigger , ergonomics, sights, awesome finish. I thought my p320 had a good trigger but the Glock outclasses is every way. So for me, it took 30 years but this is my perfect Glock.
The P320 has a decent trigger. The trouble is, as the Army has learned the hard way (but they did it to themselves), is that they splinter with real, hard use. There have been a host of other issues to boot, and not just with the P320. It’s a Sig issue.
I went to my LGS looking for a G45 I seen the my last visit. It was an FDE frame 45 and they had a 19x. I walked out with the 19x and so happy I did. It's a beauty...
Ive carried a hangun for 30 years professionally and personally. Ive owned and carried sigs, berettas, colts, smiths, rugers, etc. The 19x is my favorite and i carry it daily. I believe its one of the finest pistols ever made. Simple, durable, reliable, accurate, easy to shoot, lightweight, easy to maintain, holds alot of ammo, low bore axis, and fits a majority of peoples hands. What more can you ask for?
I love your channel. I learn so much about the history of guns and why some are better or worse than others. I recently purchased a 19X because of your review and a few others. It felt great at the store. Better than a regular 19. I have several Glocks and this is by far my favorite. I believe it shoots a lot better than my Gen5 34. At least it does for me. The trigger on my 19X is pretty awesome for a Glock trigger. So thank you so much for your review. So far 300 rounds and no problems.
I agree with what you said about the MHS/XM 17 trials, but I would add that SIG has some responsibility here. I'm not a Glock lover and SIG basher (I carry a G26 and a SIG P229), but in my opinion there had to have been an "understanding" between SIG and the Army for whatever reason (maybe it's a holdover from the Beretta-SIG competition in the 1980s; who knows?). Regardless of the reason, it's too much of a coincidence that the RFP-which was so specific in every other testing procedure-failed to include the normal "rough handling" testing protocols the Army normally uses for rifles, shotguns, AND pistols. Had the Army used them, surely they would have uncovered the unintentional discharges earlier during the trials (and not after, which is allegedly the story). Someone please explain to me why the Army would decide not to put the XM17 competition through the paces of the "rough handling" procedures normally used! I think they knew there was a problem with the pistol long before the RFP was completed. In other words, it may have already been decided that SIG was to be the winner before the trials started, and that's why the rough handling procedures were left out of the RFP, and that is also why the testing was halted prematurely. Let's remember, this was a special kind of contract that did NOT require the lowest bidder. In fact, price was specifically NOT to be the deciding factor as the mission was allegedly to get the best pistol for our troops. Given the plethora of TH-cam videos showing malfunctions of various types over the last few years, and taking into account Glocks industry-leading reputation for reliability over the last 30 years, there is no question the Army selected the inferior pistol, and there was no question they would have gone into this competition knowing the onus was on SIG to prove to be as good as a Glock (because the track record since its release said otherwise). If anyone doubts this, watch the dozens and dozens of youtube videos where people's P320's were having malfunctions long before the MHS competition. Then watch all the ones immediately following the announcement of SIG's competition win when the pistol was clearly demonstratd to fire when dropped-not by one-but at least two angles. Moreover, neither the XM17 or the P320 are the same pistols that existed before and during the trials. The new ones have a disconnector (th-cam.com/video/5fZfjuBC2wM/w-d-xo.htmlm35s), and despite what SIG claims, this was put there for added drop safety (it ensures the sear and trigger bar are not connected when the slide is in its rearward position). More important, how many lies did we hear from the time of the CT police officer shooting himself when his holstered pistol hit the floor up to now? First SIG denied it, later they said it just needed a heavier trigger, and then we saw the whole redesign (not to mention the false rumors about the competition itself). The SIG P320/XM17 was a stupid design to begin with. There is a reason virtually every striker-fired pistol has a bladed or hinged safety. The ones that don't typically have a manual safety (e.g. Walther CCP). I also think I understand why they did it. SIG was trying to be as competitive as possible with the Walther PPQ's trigger (like everyone else), and they felt they needed to bypass the trigger safety to do that in my opinion. Now that they've changed the trigger and many are claiming it's not quite as good as the original, it really seems to be the logical reason. I'm sure the Army had confidence that, despite SIG's problems with the platform, they'd get it straightened out before anyone was the wiser. The problem was that the police officer proved the gun was not drop safe, and everything became transparent after that. All you need to do is read the RFP, read the military's "rough handling" procedure found in a number of documents, Glocks response, the GAO's pathetic response to Glocks's letter, and follow the storyline about what happened.
This pistol is starting to grow on me. The only thing I don't like about it is the polymer nub in front of the magazine base on the hand grip. It make the gun have a propietary magazine base.
I have often wondered if a good test of a military side arm would be to take an unloaded holstered pistol and slam it into a door frame 100,000 times and see if the grip part of the frame holds up.
Awesome pistol. I don't know what Glock did. But, they came up with a real winner here. Don't let the "it's a Glock" reviews fool you.It points, it's accurate and has very smooth recoil. I shoot 2k plus rounds a month and buy at least one pistol a month. I have no brand loyalty. I call a spade a spade. It isn't only my favorite Glock, but one of my favorite handguns.
The only issue I have with my Glocks is the ejection pattern. The spent brass comes back and hits me in the head quite a bit. Still my favorite and go to pistol.
Maybe one more difference besides the missing manual safety: I am under the impression that the MH program required the guns to have a place to mount a Leupold optic. As far as I can tell, the 19x is not available with an optics cutout.
Optics blah, some shooters suck using the sights that come on the pistol. I see it too often that some think that by adding a RMR type sight that they will be shooting like John Wick, but still suck.
Great video sir. You mentioned briefly around 16.50 there is a slight difference between this 19x’s trigger compared to the other gen 5’s? In Colin Noirs video he commended the 19x’s performance over the g45. Did you feel a difference, or all the gen 5’s should be pretty much the same? Thank you more power
I might be a year late and dollar short but my brother owns a G45 I bought him and I own a G19X I've shot them side by side and for some reason I'd say the 19x has a better trigger and I can't explain why. We even swap slides from time to time while shooting just to see and both agree the 19x has a better trigger.
Word in the Media is that the M18 was chosen because of the cheaper price. Correct me if I’m wrong but the M18 is more expensive than the 19x in the civilian market.
I have 5,000+ rounds through my 19x (mostly Federal 115 grain) and I do love the pistol. However... there was a break in period.. I lubed the handgun out of the box and took it shooting the same day. I had many failures the first range trip. It would jam about every 6 rounds. That being said now that I have much more trigger time with it, it has worn in well. I have a comparable amount of rounds through my Gen 4 19 and I can say without a doubt the 19x wares much more so than prior glocks. I clean my pistols after every range trip and my 19x has A LOT of ware on the barrel and slide.
Probably price was the issue. I seen a video of soldiers getting their new out of the box Sigs. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The soldiers didn’t even know what they were doing. They acted like they hadn’t ever handled a pistol. I thought you kidding me. So that brings me to not trust military decisions sometimes. Glocks are simple and they just work. And that’s what Mr. Glock and his team were trying to make. Enough said
Another great vid with straight info, thanks! One thing..... you swept your camerman at 16:15! It matters not that the weapon was at slide lock. We should always strive to set a good example. Keep the vids coming.
To those of you who have argued with Chris Bartocci... Do you know who you're talking to?! This guy is as legit as they come, and you have the sheer audacity to call him a liar? Do you know anything about him? Have you watched/read any of his material? Obviously not, because if I had to describe Chris in one word, "genuine" is the one that comes to mind. Now, he might say things that you don't like, but there's an enormous difference between that and being disingenuous. For God's sake, stop this needless negativity. Instead, try going outside and making our world a better place. We, as law-abiding, gun-owning Americans, have no shortage of actual hills to climb. In conclusion, Chris is not your enemy, so I ask you to use your time and energy in a more productive and positive manner. Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.
I agree 100%. Nobody in the military, outside of special ops types will be aloud to custom build there sidearm rendering the modular system a moot point. Of the Glock and the Sig, the Glock would have been a better choice with out the additional tests.
Convinced that the fact you have to pull the trigger to disassemble the Glock and don't have to pull the trigger to disassemble the Sig, was the deciding factor.
I'm not going to say that the P320 is a bad gun, because it's not. I've owned one, and it seem to function just fine. It's just not proven, because the Army literally didn't test it. But the true irony is that the whole "modular" feature isn't really going to be used anyway. The military version has anti-tamper pins, and it's not like they're going to hand out extra grip frames to anyone anyway. If they had gone with the Glock, or anything with removal back straps, it probably would have gotten _more_ modularity, since those things are much easier to change and much cheaper to get a set for literally every soldier.
Yup. I have taught elderly women to shoot with my Gen 5 17. It isn't too big for them. And my friends with bigger hands have no issues and generally don't need a back strap. If you got hand phat, then a backstrap helps avoid slide bite.
I have had Glocks in the past.Now I just have a G21SF ,that I carry.Im curious why this model Glock is considered the best one yet.All Glocks work thats not an issue.How about concealing the G19X?
For fucks sake this gets old. YES. You can conceal a 19X. If you can conceal a 17, you can conceal a 19X. It isn't much bigger than most other guns. Get a good holster, carry it.
quite a few improvements that you haven't realized yet. All torsion and expansion springs been changed to compression springs (more reliable and same spring used in more than one location). earlier firing pin retraction. better trigger bar to connector angles. less grip hump and no nubby finger grooves.
Why is the SIG XM17 commemorative pistol so much more expensive than Glock's 19X? Does the latter not have the coatings on the internals that they used for their XM17 submission?
Forum and Brim no, this is how Sig will make their money they lost on the government contract. $200 something to the govt, $700 for a quasy M17 and $1600 for the real deal marketed as a M17 commemorative.
Even though you can also remove the trigger mechanism in the Glock 19X and place it into a new polymer frame, which is one of the aspects of modularity - this operation is far more complex and long than the same process on Sig P320. Sure Glock 19X is far more tested and reliable handgun as Beretta M9A1 but this is not the point. The Army wanted to have an ultra-modular, light and ... simple to manipulate gun especially under field conditions when the exchange of for instance a broken frame should take no tools and extremely little time. Yes, Sig P320 has issues but they can be removed by a tight cooperation between the army and Sig engineers. Once done this will be a LEGO-type of a gun - a concept in all kind of engineering, which is the future and the way to go.
This is my first time on your post and I want to be able to hear what you're saying turn the microphone speak louder into it or I'm out of here thank you 😮🇺🇸😎👍 Q WWG1WGA Q 👍😎🇺🇸💯👍💯
I don’t own one of these models, but I’ve shot them. Performed as expected. The P320 is junk! Sig outsources their MIM parts and there is poor QC at best. I’ve heard horror stories galore about the guns and won’t touch them. Sig is pathetic.
Sorry but Sig has 17 rounds just like the Glock and you can pop a 21 round magazine in. And you can bump it down to 15. It’s hard to argue against Sig because the 320 is such a great all around gun.
The ONLY thing on earth I'm less interested in than the royal family is taking the upper from one model of a ho-hum, way-overpriced pistol, mating it to the lower of a different model of a ho-hum, way-overpriced pistol, then jacking up the price $150.
@@dannylandrum7899 u talk about 600 over priced? But from what ur saying sounds like you have $700-$1,200 pistols BUT WE REALLY DONT KNOW IF THATS THE TRUTH???? so u talk about over priced i said go buy a hi point bc it sounds like u crying about the reasonable price golck put in this pistol so if u wanna pay $150 hi point well b a good budget boss👌
I was liking this video. Until you said you had several hundred or a thousand rounds through that 19x. That's never been fired more than one or two times at the factory. :/ Look at ALL the wear points. Their almost completely unmarked. Even racking the run by hand several times will mark the parts. But a gun with even 100 rounds through it doesn't look like that.
Owned Glocks for 30 years & didn't rush out to get a 19X but saw one for sale about 3 months ago for $588 before taxes so I had to get one . My only regret is not getting 2 of them.
Love my 19x, kept it stock and I have 0 complaints…. I’ve put 5k through her of all types of ammo and I’ve had 0 issues. Reloads, handloads, steel, nickel, 100gr to 147 gr, +p, jhp, fmj of all types not one issue. I’ve shot it covered in mud, sand and dirt. Did the submersion test without any issues. I can carry her concealed or not. Love the way it feels and shoots. Great video. I personally love your in depth explanation that’s based on empirical evidence. You show the breakdown and explain everything. Keep up the videos brother.
Out of my Hk VP9, P320RX, Glock 17 Gen 5, Hk USP 45 and the CZ P-09, my 19X is by far my favorite to shoot.
It's a proven gun with everything sorted out. The gun is cheap, the mags are cheap, upgraded sights are cheap. It's a got a dual recoil spring which is a common upgrade for some competition guns. It shoots super flat, the reset is solid. Most other guns silently reset and you can't really fee the reset.
I see why Glock is the most popular sidearm chosen by many.
Niiiiiice, dual springs, so that's why it looks so slick on reset..!
I have just over 600 rnds through my 19X. First Glock I’ve owned and I’m very happy with it. I really like the trigger. Keep the great videos coming.
I like my 19X so much that I sold my M18. The 19X is Superior.
New subscriber, here! Excellent review! No wasted words! Thank you for using your gifts to serve the 2A community! Like you, I'm convinced the 19x is Glock's finest, out of the box, shooter!! Blessings on your continued efforts to inform us!
I'm over 1000 rds with my 19x, very satisfied, And I wasn't a big Glock fan prior. Great channel
It's march, 2023
I just purchased a glock 19x brand new for $ 519.00
Ya just can't beat that. I had one malfunction, failure to feed, with the very first magazine I ran through it. 124gr blazer brass. Ran it some more and no problems. Very nice shooter, very low recoil 👍
Watching this video 4 years later. Thank you for the background information on what really happened with the Army's weapon selection process.
I carried for about 30 years, I really like a lot of guns, I carry a few different ones from time to time but im always going back to the glock.
Took mine to the range today and have never had a gun feel so good and shoot well right out the box. Definitely happy to have it. Swapped 19x slide to gen 5 19 and it’s a nice look aesthetically pleasing no doubt.
Such thorough reviews…I don’t know of another channel as knowledgeable. Thank you.
I’ve owned a bunch of glocks and never got excited by any of them except for the raw function. On a whim I picked up a 19x and I’m extremely impressed. Really a fine combat sidearm, nice grip, trigger , ergonomics, sights, awesome finish. I thought my p320 had a good trigger but the Glock outclasses is every way. So for me, it took 30 years but this is my perfect Glock.

The video is outstanding. Great information and I appreciate the side by side comparison. This video is an absolute must see for Glock buyers.

Great review on the 19x .
Sig undercut Glock in price because they knew they would lose if it went to trials.
Fo sho!...
Probably. I would have definitely chose Glock over the Sig. Then again I don’t like Sig and never will.
To give you an exact price quote from me being inside... SIG 185 a piece Glock 265 a piece
Oh maybe. P320 is a great pistol, it’ll be fine. But so is Glock.
I agree with what you said about the MHS/XM 17 trials, but I would add that SIG has some responsibility here.

Just got mine today!!! Can’t wait to go to the range. Plus this my first Glock ever😀
Great episode - full of knowledge on this fine weapon & ur telling the people what they wanna hear as far as questions they may have about this pistol
Great review sir. I have to say that the 19X is the first Glock pistol I want to try. Can't wait to give it a go at the range. Thanks
John Sandy it was my first too. Lol I’ve always liked HK and some Springfield and some Sig. the 19x is nice.
My 19x is my go to firearm
This pistol is starting to grow on me. The only thing I don't like about it is the polymer nub in front of the magazine base on the hand grip. It make the gun have a propietary magazine base.
Thank you for an amazing video. It was a no-nonsense review.
brought when they first came out but havent gotten a change to even pick it up from FFL
Definitely enjoyed this video, purchased my 19X
I am purchasing a 19x on pay day
I am purchasing a 19x on pay day
Just bought one yesterday
Now I need a G45
The 19x would have been the best choice! As far a SIG goes.. the 226 is the only SIG that doesn’t suck!!

The only issue I have with my Glocks is the ejection pattern. The spent brass comes back and hits me in the head quite a bit. Still my favorite and go to pistol.
Talk with Glock, they can fix that with a updated ejector.
@@SmallArmsSolutions will do. Thnx for the info

Very well presented and articulated as always!
By the way you can hide the 19x in your beard!🤣🤣🤣
Best gkock made its s gem combat gun
Thank you for the good and helpful upload.
Word in the Media is that the M18 was chosen because of the cheaper price. Correct me if I’m wrong but the M18 is more expensive than the 19x in the civilian market.

That’s weird I had my local shop slap some lube on and my Glock shot flawlessly out of the box. Almost 2000 rounds with 100% reliability.
Interesting, I own a G19, G20, G22C, G32 (gen 3s), G17 (gen 5) and now a 19X and never had any jams or malfunctions with any of them.
I dig the 19x

In conclusion, Chris is not your enemy, so I ask you to use your time and energy in a more productive and positive manner. Thank you, and may God bless the United States of America.
The m9a3 is so much better looking
wow that table was almost levitating what was happening under it LoL
The Glock 45 looks interesting, it seems to basically be an improved G19x
Bomber Harris it is a LE and commercially designed pistol as opposed to the G19X being designed specifically with the MHS criteria.
They are both awesome, 19X and G45 are my WEB (win every battle) guns.
@@SmallArmsSolutions Hopefully Glock comes out with a 23x, or like the G45 but in a 40 caliber. I'd snap one up immediately...
I agree 100%. Nobody in the military, outside of special ops types will be aloud to custom build there sidearm rendering the modular system a moot point. Of the Glock and the Sig, the Glock would have been a better choice with out the additional tests.
Aloud=/=allowed.
@ Thank you your wisdom is vast and deep.
Convinced that the fact you have to pull the trigger to disassemble the Glock and don't have to pull the trigger to disassemble the Sig, was the deciding factor.
So you went with the Glock?
Nah
I was looking for a 19 but ended up finding the 19X so I bought it. I’m glad to see your favorable review. How do you like the sights?
The connector is the same I think
I'm not going to say that the P320 is a bad gun, because it's not. I've owned one, and it seem to function just fine. It's just not proven, because the Army literally didn't test it. But the true irony is that the whole "modular" feature isn't really going to be used anyway. The military version has anti-tamper pins, and it's not like they're going to hand out extra grip frames to anyone anyway. If they had gone with the Glock, or anything with removal back straps, it probably would have gotten _more_ modularity, since those things are much easier to change and much cheaper to get a set for literally every soldier.
Yup. I have taught elderly women to shoot with my Gen 5 17. It isn't too big for them. And my friends with bigger hands have no issues and generally don't need a back strap.
If you got hand phat, then a backstrap helps avoid slide bite.
Is the recoil spring compatible with the g45 or is it a gen4 spring?
Very fine firearms
So wait, how is the 19x modular again? Because of the mags?
Tnx chris
It’s not about the machines it’s the people running the machines.
I've never been a glock guy but I bought this one
Did you say the recoil spring is a gen4?
I have had Glocks in the past.Now I just have a G21SF ,that I carry.Im curious why this model Glock is considered the best one yet.All Glocks work thats not an issue.How about concealing the G19X?
For fucks sake this gets old. YES. You can conceal a 19X.
If you can conceal a 17, you can conceal a 19X. It isn't much bigger than most other guns. Get a good holster, carry it.
Even though it was NOT designed or intended for CCW.
Just crotch carry it you’ll be fine
quite a few improvements that you haven't realized yet. All torsion and expansion springs been changed to compression springs (more reliable and same spring used in more than one location). earlier firing pin retraction. better trigger bar to connector angles. less grip hump and no nubby finger grooves.
Hey what’s the tool that’s to the right of you and the left to me is? What’s the multi tool?
If sig didn't practically give their weapons away glock would have got it.
This is Glock's St Peppers.
how did they not win the modular handgun contract? oh yeah. money.
Why is the SIG XM17 commemorative pistol so much more expensive than Glock's 19X? Does the latter not have the coatings on the internals that they used for their XM17 submission?
Forum and Brim no, this is how Sig will make their money they lost on the government contract. $200 something to the govt, $700 for a quasy M17 and $1600 for the real deal marketed as a M17 commemorative.
What went up JAN 2?
Is the recoil spring compatible with the G45?
It’s the same as the gen 5 19
Love this gun military got the wrong one!
Seems it came down to cost
I'm not a glock fanboy by any means I'm a 1911 guy. But the us has a history of forced politics in firearm changes
Btw I'm a texas boy!!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Are you in east Texas? Just ask because of the sand
Was Gaston there?
No.
Even though you can also remove the trigger mechanism in the Glock 19X and place it into a new polymer frame, which is one of the aspects of modularity - this operation is far more complex and long than the same process on Sig P320. Sure Glock 19X is far more tested and reliable handgun as Beretta M9A1 but this is not the point. The Army wanted to have an ultra-modular, light and ... simple to manipulate gun especially under field conditions when the exchange of for instance a broken frame should take no tools and extremely little time. Yes, Sig P320 has issues but they can be removed by a tight cooperation between the army and Sig engineers. Once done this will be a LEGO-type of a gun - a concept in all kind of engineering, which is the future and the way to go.
I phone of pistols. No real changes. Glock is the Toyota of pistols. You buy one and use it for 20 years
4000 rounds on mine and not 1 malfunction
7 dislikes? They must b sig fans😂
JUst purchased 2, love this gun. (2, because I have 2 hands)
Manual Safety Pistol, Forward Assist Rifle, go figure
This is my first time on your post and I want to be able to hear what you're saying turn the microphone speak louder into it or I'm out of here thank you 😮🇺🇸😎👍 Q WWG1WGA Q 👍😎🇺🇸💯👍💯
This was one of our earliest videos. We used an iPad as a camera back then. Sorry it was not to your standards.
I don’t own one of these models, but I’ve shot them. Performed as expected. The P320 is junk! Sig outsources their MIM parts and there is poor QC at best. I’ve heard horror stories galore about the guns and won’t touch them. Sig is pathetic.
I have one😃😃😃😃
Sorry but Sig has 17 rounds just like the Glock and you can pop a 21 round magazine in. And you can bump it down to 15. It’s hard to argue against Sig because the 320 is such a great all around gun.
Supermike the Glock has 17 and 19 round mags which were part of the XM17 requirement
SmallArmsSolutions yes. I love my 19x. My favorite Glock I own.
It fires if you shake it too hard, how is that "a great all around gun"?
Bomber Harris lol it does it all.
Bomber Harris what gun does????
So its a glock 17 gen 5 with worse ballistics
Basically
Bro the glock wouldnt of had all those issues that the p320 did
Xander Britt actually, no.
Lol it does sound like a question but it wasnt left out the question mark for s reason🤬🙊🐵
Glock had similar issues. They resolved then and so has Sig. people need to quit cryin’.

The ONLY thing on earth I'm less interested in than the royal family is taking the upper from one model of a ho-hum, way-overpriced pistol, mating it to the lower of a different model of a ho-hum, way-overpriced pistol, then jacking up the price $150.
Danny Landrum keep in mind this pistol was designed specifically to meet the XM17 criteria.
Go buy a hi point
@@domsugar9160 I'll stick with actual quality guns, thanks.... My CZs, Sig, Kahr, 1911s, Witness, and M&P.
@@dannylandrum7899 thats your opinion 🙌 u can have thr chevys the Ford's the Caddys ill rather have the Lambo 🙏
@@dannylandrum7899 u talk about 600 over priced? But from what ur saying sounds like you have $700-$1,200 pistols BUT WE REALLY DONT KNOW IF THATS THE TRUTH???? so u talk about over priced i said go buy a hi point bc it sounds like u crying about the reasonable price golck put in this pistol so if u wanna pay $150 hi point well b a good budget boss👌
I was liking this video. Until you said you had several hundred or a thousand rounds through that 19x. That's never been fired more than one or two times at the factory. :/ Look at ALL the wear points. Their almost completely unmarked. Even racking the run by hand several times will mark the parts. But a gun with even 100 rounds through it doesn't look like that.
Mike B. Wrong sir. This pistol was well shot at Glock’s range and then at my range.
Best Glock made ever for combat use a 19 x rules
