Wilson Combat does fantastic work and I’m definitely a G-19 fan. But for that money I’d rather have one of their Beretta 92 offerings, which are comparable in cost.
First of all, thank you for showing the gun. I saw this at my local gun store, and I was curious as to why such an elevated price tag. Based on what you have showed me, it confirms my initial suspicion that the price corresponded more with the Wilson Combat/Vickers branding than anything making any significant improvement to the firearm itself. We all know that it’s the operator and not the tool that makes the difference anyway, but we always think something has some magical quality when it is unique. Thanks again for making the video.
Glock is an excellent tool, worth that much money well its a personal preference. Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a modified Glock. Mine had sights and a connector and they have served me extremely well.
My regular Gen 3, 4 or 5 Glock 19 right out of the box will defend me against violent offenders just as good as a Wilson combat $1600. It’s 2% gun and 98% shoulder-to-holder.
I have 3 Glock 19 Gen 5’s, and I’ve only changed out the sights (Trijicon HD). They already have the indentation at the top of the grip, so that’s nothing new. I’d love to see $1,000 in upgrades, but just don’t. I was curious about the WC version, so thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cannot and will not talk bad Wilson combat . Much respect for all of them. I will say this I will gladly buy a real gun from them and not a plastic one gallon enough. Everything done to that gun you can do yourself . Again let’s not talking bad of them . It’s just a fact . Experior Check it out . That’s going to be my next purchase . Thanks for the video enjoy your gun. I’m sure it’s fantastic if Wilson put their hands on it..
Boy, you could just about use an XS big dot front sight. For home defense that may be perfect. Vickers makes a very slightly extended slide catch. I’m surprised they didn’t include one on this. I’ve always said I’d like the G19 better if it just had a bit more grip (17 is too long). I got one of those plugs and dremeled that ridge off and stippled it. It’s just right. Now it fits my hand better. Great video sir, thanks.
I’ve shot Glocks since 1988. I’ve owned (and carried on duty) many different Glock models in 9mm, .40, 10mm, .45, and even the Glock 44 in .22Lr. I also love Wilson Combat. But sorry, this is like fixing a problem that doesn’t exist.
Very nice review; thanks. I noticed that when I doing dry fire on my G17/G34, and Beretta APX, the slide will "jump" a little bit -- left, right or up (the APX is kind crazy, I doubt this one has quality problem), but the G43x, Shadow CR920 doesn't has such "issue" and all the hummer pistols just fine. How is the Wilson Combat? Thanks for any reply...
I put that Vicker’s trigger shoe in one of my Glocks. Worst “upgrade” I’ve ever made. After a short amount of shooting, that safety blade in the trigger becomes very uncomfortable. Replaced with an Overwatch Precision trigger and MUCH better.
nice looking gun, but for that price and with current trends, not sure why Wilson Combat does not mill slide for "optic ready" and set it up with the RMR foot print, then ship with a plate....
They have a couple versions for the Glock 19. You can get it with an optic cut. This particular pissed off did not come with one. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to comment.
It would sure be sweet to own but I can't even begin to afford it I just train with my regular glocks and get as good as I can with them maybe someday I'll get the funding to splurge some and get them to fancy up one of my g17s
Very nice presentation, as I've come to expect from your channel. I really like Wilson pistols, but I'm thinking a Glock 19, Overwatch Precision Trigger, Vickers Battle Sights, Talon grips, 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and it would shoot just as well and I still wouldn't be at $1,600. That Wilson Glock isn't like comparing a Lexus to a Toyota. It's more like comparing a stock Toyota Camry with a Camry that has some body cladding, new wheels and painted brake calipers over the stock rotors - more glitz, but no more performance. Nope - hard pass.
My first firearm I purchased recently was a hellcat for concealment and rounds. My second will most definitely be a Glock. This seems to be a great gun and thank you for the review. Does Wilson combat make anything for the Glock 43x as well?
First of all welcome to the Second Amendment community and congratulations on your Hellcat. I have not looked into what kind of components Wilson Combat makes for the 43X (if any). As far as I know, they are only working on the Glock 19 platform. Thank you very much for watching.
Lmao they don’t do different patterns of front slide serrations. Gen 5 Glocks just didn’t have front slide serrations when they were first released so the original Vickers Elite versions added them, hence why you can see the Glock logo through them and they appear differently. Now they just charge you the same for less machining.
Nice gun if u want a upgraded glock u buy it. I think it looks great the only thing the slide should be cut for a red dot. For me I am a Sig M18 owner and I absolutely love it.
Mario - you can get this pistol in several configurations. The best so that you see in the video was configured the way my local FFL ordered it. If you order it directly from Wilson Combat, you can get it configured anyway you want. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment.
It's nice but I wouldn't pay that price . I have the vickers glock 19 it comes with the vickers mag plates , rtf grip , Wilson rear sight , hv Tritium night front . Some extras things switch out if needed. For a lot less . But of course it's a gen 3. forgot it also has the butt plug on the base of the grip.
That is the coolest looking Glock 19 I have ever seen! I must admit, though, that I was stunned when I saw the price tag. But, after further consideration, it's probably what one should expect. I guess I'm just not used to seeing $1500 Glocks.
I agree with you. However, I have two other blocks that I have done a lot of work to and I am easily north of $1700 on each. So I guess when you look at it that way, this Wilson Combat offering is not that expensive. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment.
Hard to justify the price when you can get a shadow systems with holosun for less. This is not a Bentley my friend. It's a chevy with the all terrain package.
I’m a Glock guy I will always click on Glock video but since I’m on your platform I would like to ask you, why you don’t like the 365XL I just put my Romeo zero on it and I have to say I can shoot it one handed better than any gun. Of course if I’m shooting 2 handed it’s the G19
I have a couple of videos on this topic. I like shooting it. The grip is a bit too small for my liking and I had issues with them. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment.
@@MDpolo yes I seen the videos of you talking about and it reminded me of me when I first started shooting them, it just fault weird like not enough gun, but after a lot time behind the gun in dry and live fire, that wears off and it becomes normal and now my Glock 19 feels like a block lol, I have giant hands as well
I personally don't see the $1000 of added value and would rather customize in my own preferences. The slide was pretty much untouched and I would have it direct milled for an RMR is the biggest thing. I can see this lower as a 80% going for $400 to $600.
They make a couple versions at Wilson Combat for the Glock 19. You can get it optics ready. This particular sample does not. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment.
I think of Glocks as being utilitarian so in my mind it's not worth this price. I did put a 3 1/2 pound Ghost trigger ($12.99) in a Glock 30s and 22 but that's about the extent of my expense for customization. That was definitely worth the cost, it didn't really reduce the trigger pull to 3 1/2 pounds but definitely smoothed out the trigger pull and got it down to under 5 pounds.
I can buy a gen 5, and add all those upgrades myself and come out around $1100-$1200. $1600 is way too much and don't even have an optic cut for rmr. I can build an amazing Gucci Glock myself with a holosun rmr for under $1600.
Regarding price, not far at all. It is the same price as a Staccato C. But the point here is that some people may not want an all metal hammer fired pistol. If you were looking for a polymer striker fired pistol - would you buy this? Thank you very much for watching.
@@MDpolo a Zev is a better option at this point for an high end non hammer pistol.... 1.600 USD for a Glock with some accessories is absolutely pointless. But I understand what you said.... Well... I guess that if we compare this with a CZ P10 C, the overall performance will be the same or very close. Anyway, mine are considerations of an "hammer pistol" user and aficionado.
@@peterv1318 I’m definitely a Glock fan-boy as I own more Glocks than any other pistol. I just feel, in this case, you’re paying a premium for the WC name and you could get the same thing just from buying a few parts and sending it to a competent gunsmith. At least that’s what I’ve done with several of mine and they’re as good, if not better, than this WC.
You pose a great question, and I’m keeping past discussions in-mind... This one’s kind of like a Porsche 911 base model. Functionally it’s ‘the bar’, and it probably rewards and amazes with every spin taken. But is it special? Man, I dunno. No doubt a great tool for a job, but it doesn’t resonate with me from a distance. For $1,600 (IMO), I begin to consider the aesthetics beyond ergonomics. No matter the performance, I’d walk up to it and think ‘seas of polymer’. Even an internally-modded P-10C’s slide would wink at you each time you reach for it. Confounding over coffee for sure. 😂 Thanks for the video.
You’re very welcome. All personal preference. Let me tell you, it shoots much better than any other Glock 19 that I have shot. I don’t know what they did to the inside because when I field strip it, the pistol looks pretty standard to me. But it is an amazingly soft shooter. Thank you very much for watching.
Some people like guns that are pretty, others like guns that function. I prefer guns that can run a full magazine without jamming so no 1911s for me. This is a bit over priced though.
I have two Glocks that I upgraded and I have easily $1700 into each one of them. The main difference is that I made them exactly what I wanted. If this Wilson Combat represents exactly what the person is looking for, then the value is there.
No not worrh it. Glock is a no frills combat gun out of the box. Not meant for frills. You dont put a caddilac motor in a Honda. You want a wilson? Buy a proper Wilson 1911.
Nobody’s making you do anything. It’s all a personal choice. If buying a pistol of this price makes you poor, then it’s obviously the wrong pistol for you. Thank you for watching.
@@MDpolo that's very true. Nobody can't make me do anything but i will express my opinion cuz i can. Freedom of speech freedom of expression. If y'all want to make them rich by all means go ahead. I wouldn't. I rather buy me 1 pistol and 10,000+ rounds of ammo with that price and enjoy my freedom of 2A. Be smart not poor. Besides i can build the exact same gun for less then $100.00 dollars and stipple the gun myself with my logo with my name in it and sell it for a lot less and still become rich.
Wilson Combat does fantastic work and I’m definitely a G-19 fan. But for that money I’d rather have one of their Beretta 92 offerings, which are comparable in cost.

You’re welcome. Thank you very much for your comment and for taking the time to watch. I appreciate it. I am looking for the magical pistol as well…
That's true. Imo...looks nice but not worthy to get it.
I would save my money and get a Wilson SFX9.

I'm sure you can shoot someone just as dead with a stock Glock as you can with a Vickers model, They'll be either stock dead or vickers dead.
This what I’m talking about
I have 3 Glock 19 Gen 5’s, and I’ve only changed out the sights (Trijicon HD). They already have the indentation at the top of the grip, so that’s nothing new. I’d love to see $1,000 in upgrades, but just don’t. I was curious about the WC version, so thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

PIMP my Glock!
Amazing craftsmanship
QC = Quality Costs/Counts
Ouch! that price tag
Wish they were available in Israel!
You could have two stock glocks for that amount, I'd like to know why they don't stipple the whole grip though only the sides.
Lmao they don’t do different patterns of front slide serrations.

Mind is mostly stock night sights is the only major change $1500 is a bit out of my range but it is beautiful.
That should cost very little because of how little they did on Frame no undercut no acelarator cuts those serrations on top for nti glare is ok .
Hard to justify the price when you can get a shadow systems with holosun for less. This is not a Bentley my friend. It's a chevy with the all terrain package.
I own 10 Glocks, there is no way in hell I would pay a $1000 extra for that Glock 19! If I want a better. Glock I would buy a PPQ
A little curious to know which 10 Glocks. Tell me you don’t have ten 9mm Glocks

I’m sorry if I didn’t. Yes they did and they did a fantastic job with it. Thank you very much for watching.
From what i see it's good but is it worth the much higher price? I don't think so.
Every person places value on different things. It’s all personal preference and what our budget allows. Thank you very much for watching.
