I'm a Sig guy, even a fanboy. I love HKs and CZs and 1911s. I own about a dozen semi auto handguns. I never cared for Glock, but I finally bit the bullet and bought a G19x and have to agree. In a shit hits the fan scenario, if I had to bugout with just one pistol, it would be the G19x.
What are your thoughts on the M18?
@@vincentforce1 I've only shot the M17 . I own a P320 in .40. Love the platform, can't go wrong with either. What the Sig has in modularity, the Glock makes up in parts compatibility and accessibility. Sig parts are always out of stock with long resupply times.
@@CanadianPilotYHM Yeah that's one of my favorite things about Glock. Like you, I didn't start out thinking I'd like it as much as I do -- but I do!
Danny, you are a total gun geek.
Same
As a guy with bigger hands, the extended grip is much more comfortable than the G19 grip
All Glocks are made for people with large hands
@@mbryant1136 especially the G21... WHAT A BEAST!!
@@mbryant1136 it’s also because of gloves
I'm glad you're revisiting the G19X, I'm so tired of hearing the negativity surrounding it. It has quickly become one of my favorite shooters in a short amount of time. I had it out again yesterday and was ringing my 50yd target pretty well. Personally I love the color too, it has a striking "metallic" look to the slide. I am very happy with my purchase, and I hope they come out with a 40 version. As usual, I love the bloopers and the lanyard loop comment was hilarious. Another great production brother, hope you have a blessed week!
Totally agree. Its probably my favorite at this point
I love the 19x. Favorite platform!
glock 19x looks badass.
Taste does change in my opinion given the opportunity to indulge.
same i love my G19X great gun
I was undecided, but then Sootch mentioned that lanyard loop and now I'm sold on the 19X.
You pick your weapons because of a lanyard loop? When you're laying in the hospital, be sure and tell everyone... "But it had a lanyard loop!"
@@jamesjonathanbrowne9528 he's being sarcastic, u dumb cow
Joe M I must admit. The loop turned me on as well
@@jamesjonathanbrowne9528 it makes alot of sense. Hes a airforce butter bar...I'm a marine vet and I have so much experience with chairforce and the fact they can't shoot worth shit so obviously he would love the loop rather than its function
@@turtlesoup7310 he is an airforce officer he was not being sarcastic at all you dumb cow
From the video all I can tell is the G19X has the best ejection of the 3 guns and the G17 has the worst.
I noticed it as well. The G17 is a Gen 4 so maybe Glock finally fixed their ejection issues. Thanks TM
I was scrolling the comments to see who else noticed it!
It seems the Gen-5 26, 34, 19X have the most consistent uniform ejection of any Glocks.
Your reviews are always great. This one is no exception. I enjoy your friendly , dignifed approach,{ no swearing or trash talk}, Thanks for posting.
What is swearing?
I love this sidearm. This weapon is extremely accurate and very durable I have a sig ps2022 and this glock19x and I'll tell you what the glock is my everyday carry and it's very comfortable and I love the fact that it has 19+1 rounds which for me is a huge plus for whatever could happen out in the world. Being a marine veteran I dont need that many rounds but it doesn't hurt to have it
Excellent point. Better to have more than you need, than not enough.
agree, no one ever said damn i brought too many rounds to a gunfight.
@@mytquin7605 ain't that the truth!
I’m in love with my G17 and G19X.. great video and comparison.
The military shoulda went with this.
Jaw Knee they probably wanted to, but who wouldn't want to save close to $100 per gun? I bought it and it's definitely a smoother shooting glock!
yes, and remember that it's taxpayer money, so I guess I sort of support their decision to actually be careful with our money, if gun performance is equal.
My thing is that they will budget $100 for a hammer and then cheap out on the better sidearm here. They blow a lot of money so I think it might have been something other than price that determined which one they chose.
D. Bishop sig gave them EXACTLY what they wanted for $100m cheaper.
I’ve owned a Sig P226 for years and just bought my first Glock a few days ago. I honestly have more trust carrying the Glock but the Sig is undeniably funner to shoot.
Next is an HK.
D. Bishop i heard government gets special deal from sig , 285.00 a gun. Glocks used never go that low. They didnt pick best gun , they went cheapest . Sigs are good guns but damn alota parts ,glocks simple.
The G19X and G45 have the best damn balance out of any hand gun on the market right now, change my mind!
jacksonvile12345678 All facts!! Very flat shooter!!
Literally when I shot the first round I was like holy shit this is incredible. And then i shot a sig p320 compact that I just acquired at the same time I got the glock.
And lets just say the P320 is for sale now.
As long as that pin doesn’t fall out.
My CZ P01 Omega is a way better shooter than my G45...Hell, so is my P320 X-Compact
Sig p2022
I'm really glad that you mentioned that although people are whining about the 17 frame/19 slide, you went over how it was designed for the military where we aren't conceal carrying it; we are usually carrying in a drop leg holster or chest rig. People need to get over it and realize that like you said, it's purpose built. I love the feel of a 17 frame as opposed to a 19 frame, and also love the size of the 19 slide as opposed to a 17 slide. So it's basically what I wanted anyway.
Rapid fire grouping is impressive and easy on the Glock 19x - even for a city boy like me
I was in the US Marine Corps, and I am a Glock fan. I bought the 19X mostly as a novelity but after shooting it absolutely my favorite. I carry it on my job as Armed security and as my off duty EDC.... I have found one thing that I dislike and that is with the configuration of the butt of the pistol and the standard Glock floor plate on the 17 round magazine. could be problematic with a double feed malfunction. Quick fix Vicker tactical floor plate.
3000 rds in no stovepipe s on this gun at all smooth runs lk a top floorplate is fine on the gun
Just turned 21 over February, 19x is gonna be my 1st ever purchase when my dad's job restocks on them.
Happy Birthday Gabriel! You'll love the G19X. Thanks
I love it. Just works for me. It's become my favorite Glock.
Thanks Sean!
Well another great evaluation sooch. I finally got a chance to handle one of these at my local gun shop and it felt good. The gun looked great and I bought it. I will say you’re right about it. It shoots very well with less muzzle flip than my 19. I’m glad I bought it. I think there are people that will carry it concealed because I personally know people who pack a g17 daily. The 19x fit just fine in my desantis iwb for my g19 and I carried it all day with no issues great gun
I have the gen 5 19 and 17 and also the 19X, the 19X is my favorite for sure. Love the way it shoots, nice and flat.
David White
How does it shoot any flatter than a standard 19?
Good choices. Thanks David!
I've never really found the glock 19 to have much muzzle flip in the first place. It's a 9mm
Well, I doubt it's enough to buy a whole new gun.
Seems like it's the opposite of what you need. Shorter barrel, longer butt. Less sight radius and harder to conceal than a g19 and can't take 15 Rd mags.
ElJefe45acp
I carried that exact gun for 25 years myself up until I got my s&w shield in 2014.
The best comparison video capture between different guns ever made, easiest for eyes to catch slightest differences in how guns behave, and always a lot of fun to watch, sootch00 you rock n roll brother :)
About the only thing I really love about the 19X is the nPVD finish on the slide, love that. It's not cerakote, it's actually treated into the steel. At least that's what the GLOCK Rep told me in person.
Yeah I like the slide color too. I want a black grip tho. maybe making the trigger and controls the same color as the slide. That would be too cool.
G19X: 19 in the front, 17 in the back.
Lol Saku19... The Glock mullet!
@@jtt069 im sold
Im an ass man my self. So i will wait for g17x
El camino?
When you said that the greatest advantage was the lanyard loop, I spit out my coffee and it came out my nose......lol
My gateway glock was the g44..was gonna step up to the 19 mos..but saw the 19x across the room and fell in love..still in love after 500 rounds
My dad just got G19X. Man o man it’s sweet gun
I have ten or so Glocks, some custom Zev Techs as well and my G19X is my favorite stock Glock. The color rocks, has the better leverage and with a G-Code Incog Eclipse, it rides deep but does not poke my balls while having that slightly extra grip to grab onto. Good review!
Thanks Bunk Man!
10 or so? You dont know how many Glocks you have?
@@mbryant1136 go be a douche somewhere else
This is Sootch00's second video on this pistol. I have had and really like my Glock 20, 10mm, for home defense. Also have 9mm firearms, but never bought a 9mm Glock. After having seen this and the prior video reviews on the Glock 19x, when I saw one new in a rural gun store earlier this year, where it was sitting there for $600 and nobody really knew much about it, but I did thanks to Sootch00, and bought it. I love it now. So much fun to shoot, and it is a go to pistol for me now. A younger guy helped me, but I checked out and did the background check with the much older owner. When the younger guy brought out the gun case and all the accessories (3 mags, modular grips, etc.), he seemed somewhat shocked and said, "Wow, you got a lot with this don't you". These new pistols are 10oz+ lighter than the pistols of 25 years ago, higher capacity, much easier to take down, have the front rail for light/laser, and are very reliable. Thanks Sootch! This is one reason why I now support Sootch00 on Patreon. I encourage others to do the same, because there is value here, and Youbtube is making it tougher for these guys.
That tight shot at 6:22 that changes guns is really nice. LOVE your channel brother!
19x was my first gun ever. I have fairly big hands and it fits them perfectly.
That is love at first sight, and married her right away.
I finally broke down and acquired a Glock 19. I think it's an outstanding handgun. I have a 43x and Sig P320 full frame. I also have a S&W Shield in .40 SW , I converted it to 9mm with a threaded barrel which made it real close to the Glock barrel length. I wouldn't want to give any of these away as I shoot them as often as I can , my favorite carry gun is the 43x then the Shield. My favorite range gun is the P320 then the Glock 19.
Your reviews are the best I have ever seen! I trust your opinion more than anyone else. Thank you for what you do!
I passed the 19X up for years but bought one 2 months ago & now it's my favorite Glock.
I also have a 19x, served as my duty gun for 4 years as a Deputy when our department went 9mm. Before I carried a SA 1911 stainless loaded. I have owned about a dozen semi autos including 2 other glocks. I love my 19x, it's my favorite pistol in 9mm. But if it's my preference I will still go 1911, lol.
Boy do I love the 19x can’t wait to pick mine up! I’ve never owned a Glock before.
Deven Nicholson welcome to the club brother
Another great review Sootch00 and you answered all the questions that i needed to compare between the 3 glocks. Thanks for the time you put in on this review, Helped me out a lot Well done bro. Long live the republic
Thanks Jerry! Always good to see your comment Brother
Jerry Johnson II agreed! I was in the fence, but now I will pick up the 19x.
I want one too, so bad
I may be getting one this weekend.... been saving my pennies ;)
Cool bro. I want one but i got a CZ-75 SP-01 in FDE and blow my whole budget for this year on that awesome firearm. It eats 9mm like a wood chipper.
I'm buying one just for the lanyard loop! :-)
Lanyard loop engaged
Great review of all 3 Glocks, thanks. Love the bloopers.
That joke was freaking great! Thx for the cool review
I have a FULL SIZE Springfield XDm 3.8 9mm, so it's almost identical to the G19X... It holds 19+1 rounds, but it only has a 3.8" barrel. I freaking love the way it shoots, too!
Absolutely love mine. I’m really not noticing any finish wear after 1500 rounds and drawing from the holster ALOT. I think they did a good job with this finish. I also agree the 19x is more balanced and shoots better then the 19 and 17. I’ve never had the trigger pin coming out tho , that’s weird . The 19x to me is perfect from the factory. The only Glock where I won’t be changing anything on it, the only thing I put on mine is talon grips.
This is the video ive been looking for. Thank u Sir.
I'm saving up; I WILL buy this gun. Love, love, love Glock.
Nancy Merrell-R you won’t be disappointed . I carry this gun with ease and it shoots amazing. Best gun on the market
It's a great handgun to shoot at the range and I think you'll be pleased. Thanks Nancy!
I appendix carry the g19x with an aplc with the 19 round mag. Isn't to hard to do just have to plan your clothing around i usually wear a decent flowing shirt or button up so no problems here. If it prints in my mirror with the clothes I'm wearing I just throw my carhart vest on and problem solved.
Skip 19X and go G45
Glenn Southerland Try that in Texas lol.
I'm Glad that Sig Sauer p320 won it was expected.
I like Glock's but Love Sigs more I'm Glad you made this little comparison I think I'll get the G19X now.
The 19x is my duty gun and my winter EDC
I own the 19X and the only thing I see that should have been included would be the MOS system.
Never been a big glock guy but holding and firing a 19x....theres something special about it. Excellent trigger, night sights, good capacity. I had to buy one hahah. The weird choice with not letting gen 5 g17 mags fit is weird from glock but I bought mostly old mags and magpul mags so it's a non issue
Sootch....I picked up a G19X yesterday and let me tell you what Brother...I own sooooo many Glock pistols at the moment that I ouldn't tell u haw many ...i have them in places like my work van(g43) cuz carryin at work is prohibbited.. I have them in all of my oersonal vehicles 5 to be precise and just by holding this new X model and dry riring I think it will probably be my next favorite glock...I carry the 19 and the 26 most of the time but dang I really love the way the full grip w/no finger grooves feels in my small hands...God Blessyou Brother you are deff doin the Lords Work...
"The G19X is spot on" 😀
I think the X would be a good Bedside stand gun. It had a rail for a Light/Laser.
That a what I intend to have it for looks so nice with a light on the 45
Btw. My present shooter is a m9. I don't have a maintenance problem. I don't mind replacing springs and blocks and I certainly don't buy cheap mags. Besides it fits.
Wait a minute....... Did you just say the biggest *advantage* of the G19X is the *lanyard loop?*
WHAT!?
-
lol
Sounded like sarcasm to me.
DW B, JusticeAA - Yes sirs, got it when I saw it. Just having some fun.
The lanyard loop is because it was their mhs submission. When we carry the m9 we have it attached one of those old phone cord lookin things😂 idk what theyre called but yall get the idea
Some people actually use pistol lanyards.
I love my 19x ! It feels Great in my hands and its very reliable ! You cant go wrong !
There is no space between the last letter of the last word of a sentence, and the punctuation.
"Biggest advantage, that lanyard loop" Awesome! :)
Surprised no one has said the obvious. Back before Glocks people had the 1911. The perfect carry was the Commander, then the LW CMD. Other than the round and capacity it is the same basic configuration.
I went with the G45 MOS and immediately put night sights on it and the maritime springs. PB color is good stuff but black is classic.
Nice vid on the 19X. I really like mine. I love how you show your bloopers.
Thanks Brother! Keeping it a little lite at the end keeps it fun.
Good analysis. Another video showed the metal night sites. Also discussed 19L with 17 slide/19 grip.
I would like to see a velocity comparison between the three!
17 will have the greatest velocity just becuase it has the longest barrel.
I'll get a 19X as soon as they come out in all black. Great comparison Sootch00! It helped greatly in making my mind up between the Gen 4 & 5 17 and the 19X. Great video as usual. Thanks!
Thanks Brother! Hopefully Glock will release it in Black. A lot of people are wanting the original color.
@sootch great video as always I just bought a gen 5 Glock 19 now I’m thinking of getting the 19x 🤦🏽♀️😂
Taneka Bowens might as well get the G45 now. G19X doesn’t accept all Glock mags like the other Glocks do.
Ejection pattern on G19X is much more uniform and it ejects robustly. Gen 4 throws brass erratically, and Gen 5 shows weaker ejection. G19X for the win!
If I remember right they sold over 100k the first six months. So it’s a very well liked pistol. I went to the range with my g19x and thought I’d be the cool guy but three other people had one there. I was like nooooo but I had a cool chain that I hooked up to my lanyard loop and my woven belt.
Just got mine a week ago, Talk about perfection.... my first glock personally I’ve always used sig.. Amazing pistol!
I started out collecting Colt 1911s,Beretta 92s and Browning Hi Powers. I always said I hated Glocks. I now have Apx 14 Glocks and I want the G19x😂. Longer I have had Glocks the more I like them. This new one is really cool. The slide stop wear is just cosmetic and you can easily refinished or you can replace it for a few dollars if it gets worn. I have shot one of the Glocks and I like that you can not even tell it’s been fired. So durable. It’s the only gun I never have to worry about picking up and knowing it will always function. So easy to work on and upgrade. Mainly all the only upgrade I want is to put the metal night sights on all of them using Glock factory ones and maybe the trigger disconnect to the 3.5Lb from Glock store. The trigger pin can be pushed back in seconds and I have never seen this to be a issue on Glocks in any video’s before this one
I have used the G17 Gen 5, G45, and G19X pretty extensively. The G17 Gen 5 has a recoil impulse that almost resembles the G34 Gen 4, likely due to the lengthened recoil spring assembly, and slowed timing. The G19X is by far the smoother running out of the hybrid size models (G19X/G45), I suspect due to the new breech face geometry in the G45, which caused significant problems for me, and other users I know.
This is my favorite pistol thus far. Glocks my favorite in general but this 17- 19 combo was just what I needed 👍
love the 19x
perfect duty gun
dont udnerstand the hate
I love that gun. I love the color. But I still would choose the Glock 17 for combat gunfights if given the choice of the three.
Yep, it was clear from the video the 17 was the hardest to control. Difference between 19 and 19x was smaller but still noticeable.
I love my Glock 19x. I didn’t get it at first but then shot one at my local shop. Fell in love! I was looking for a 19 but then thought I have so many mags for my Glock 34 why would I start buying 19 mags!? I wasn’t buying a EDC gun. I’m comfortable with my Glock 26. So the 19x made more sense. Don’t regret it for a second!
In a SHTF scenario or, if I could only pick one and have to live with that choice forever the standard G19 wins hands-down because of magazine versatility and compatibility.
Bought mine today. Never wanted a Glock before. No buyer’s remorse, shoots great, looks great.
I have smaller hands. My first handgun was a G48 but I want a larger handgun to simply focus on fundamentals. Mostly a range/home defense firearm while I carry my G48. Still debating between the 19x and the 17 🤔
I snagged one last weekend and fired it today. It shoots low, because the rear sight is only 6.1. Try to find one with 6.5. (One dash). I think this is a must have for any Glock fan boy. You will regret not picking one up when they stop making them.
Sootch where you been!?, it sure is good to see you again😊
Lmao! The biggest advantage of the 19x... the lanyard loop... lmao! I love my 19x
Love my G19x. Especially milled for the trijicon RMRcc. My go to pistol
I really like the concept of the G19X, but seeing the frame stretch enough to allow the pin to begin walking out under recoil concerned me. Perhaps Glock should have stayed with the three pin construction model? As a Glock armorer for a police department some years ago, I called Glock when our .40 S&W models started having the same issues. The person I spoke with said that there was nothing to be done but replace the frame/pistol. He said that was an issue with the higher pressures of the .40 caliber pistols but that the 9mm didn't have it start so soon. That was a couple of generations ago during the Gen 3 days. One of our guys had to put some electrical tape over his pins to keep them from walking out on the range until we could swap out his pistol for a new one. It might have been a bad batch of polymer in the frame that was too soft.
John Dilday. Yes, it's been said that Glock shouldn't make Gen5's in anything beyond 9mm because of the stretching/flexing issues caused by the lack of the third frame pin. The Gen5's just aren't as strong but they'll never admit it. I'm tired of all their nonsense so I went and bought a revolver, it's all steel.
The trigger pin walked because it's not seated right in the frame.
my 19x has a wheaton arms gold barrel and flat face trigger and all the other gold parts from the glockstore to acheive a 2 3/4 lb trigger pull awesome. This thing has NO wall it's sooo smooth. i KNOW YOU KNOW ROBBIE WHEATON and he makes great stuff that I've bought and it works.
I use and carry the 19x and the FN 509 for a duty firearm. With that said however, If I had to choose 1 for a "go to war pistol" that would be the FN 509 with the 19x a close second.
Got them all including a g34 and the g19x and g45 are the sweetest shooters for sure.
Well-dellovered Sir! Glad to subscribe! God bless!
I bought my G19X in February and really like it .....After 500 Rounds .....No Malfunctions and I like the larger grip. I agree it's not a EDC to conceal but it's a great holster range pistol.
Who Only Owns ONE Glock Lol ....My EDC is either a G26 or G19 depending on what I'm wearing.
I just got one recently, I had the G17 gen 3 RTF2. Imo the G19x is a far superior pistol compared to the G17, the tritium night sights out the box is also a lot better than the field goal sights stock glocks come with. Just my 2cents.
I never shot a Glock pistol I didn't like. They just work. Nice review Sootch. I may have to add a 19X to my collection.
Most excellent! Especially the riotous bloopers.
Excellent video, greetings from Costa Rica
This was a well done video. It was ‘spot on’. Had to subscribe.
I love my G19 think I'll give the 19X a try.
Got one and love it had strok on right side so now shoot left handed. Not easy making the switch right eye dominant
@@JamesSmith-xs1yy I'm Lefty and right eye dominant..I know how you feel
@@JamesSmith-xs1yy keep your head turned to the left a little bit and keep both eyes open and you'll be able to aim with your right eye no problem.
I'm left eye dominate and a righty so I have my head slightly turned to the right while aiming and get a good sight align up fast
My next Glock,will be # 3probably Mod 48.to go with my 19 ,43x.
The finish on my Gen 5 Glock 19 mos slide release wore off quickly too. I’ve since added an oem extended slide release lever to both my Gen 5 Glock 19 mos and my Glock 19X. The finish on the oem extended slide release lever seems to be a lot better than the standard oem version.
Just got one of these today. Can’t wait to get it out to the range. I still love my M17 and M&P 2.0 though. 🤔
Eye opening review. Never could figure out why Glock would go this direction. Hopefully a G26L will be next! Thanks Sootch!
I love the last message at the end of the video. Always. And I bought the gun.
Since there is so much hate for the 19x....I like it just that much more.... And just because it is a different from the usual 19MOS that I carry daily.
Great review, however for appendix carry, the slightly longer grip doesn’t really impact the carry ability of it. The 19 size slide makes appendix a real carry option
I have a Glock 19x and the Sig P320 M17. Both good shooters, pretty different grip angles. But the M17 just feels unnecessarily bulky for a 9mm......I just like a smaller, sleeker frame for that small caliber. Love the 19x.
It’s great for people with large hands honestly, much more fitting than a 19
J Circ that’s the only reason it’s appealing being 6’6 with yeti hands
I was one of the first usa owners of a Glock pistol, got my first one in 1984 or 85 in Virginia. I never liked the NON-Human grip angle (my first pistol was a 1911 ser. 70 MK IV). I carried a Glock 22 on duty for 13 years and when I retired sold ALL my Glocks and started carrying Springfield XD 45's. Recently I shot a SIG p 320RX compact 9mm and I changed my EDC to that pistol...I have NEVER shot a pistol that practically shoots its self!! When I shoot this pistol I end up with a big ragged hole with 2-3 fliers...no matter what the range!!!!!!
Awesome video!
Baby's first strike fired handgun: Glock.
Pearce pinkie extensions for the g19 mags does the same thing. I have bear paws for hands and the 19 was not pleasurable to shoot because my pinky finger is only about 1/2-1/3of the way on the bottom of the grip. They make it harder to conceal because of the point on the extension but every g19 mag i have has them installed. That being said, im slowly warming up to the 19x. Its the only gen 5 gun that even remotely interests me
Actually I have a Glock 30 and a 36... and have added extensions to make the grip longer, just like the G19x. It works for me. also had a Glock shooting sig .375 and it shot better with the extended mag. This is the same size (17+1) as my G36 (6+1 in .45)
