Glock G19X question

I was in a gun store the other day looking over a Glock 19X. This has the nPVD-treated slide which is apparently unique to the 19X. Did this gun have the nPVD finish from it's introduction or did it start out with some other finish?

To my knowledge, it has had the nPVD-coated slide (to prevent corrosion) since the 19X came out.

I have a 19x and it's one of my favorite pistols. IIRC, the slide is PVD since inception. My example is holding up well. I also have a Gen 5 G19, with the DLC coating, and it's supposed to be tougher. But I can't tell by looking at my two pistols. IMO the 19x is a hell of a nice pistol for the money.

I ended up putting it on layaway.

The 19X has always had the PVD coated slide. I had a 19X when it first came out but have since sold it. I prefer the G45. The 19X lacks the Gen 5 breech face cut and the ability to use the Gen 5 magazine base plate. All it took was one range session and one reload that wouldn’t work because I grabbed a Gen 5 mag and I got rid of it. That’s not the guns fault, just my preference.

Is that a good thing? We have a 19X in the house, but I never really knew much about its details.

I wouldn’t quantify it as good or bad. It’s definitely perfectly adequate. My friend shoots a 19X exclusively. We shoot at least 500 rds through pistol once a month at our monthly training session and have been for several years and his gun has never bobbled and shows little to no wear and it’s run hard in a safariland holster. Lots of presentation and reholstering.

Gotcha. I was kind of curious how that slide finish held up. Thanks.

Finish holds up VERY good. I have a G17 gen 5 i got at the same time. The round count is roughly the same, The 17 looks ALOT worse then the 19X. Only marks so far is from the safariland 6378.
