GLOCK, Inc. introduces their first ever “Crossover” pistol, the GLOCK 19X, which combines the best features of two of its most popular and most trusted field-tested platforms. The full-size frame and the compact slide have joined forces to produce the ideal pistol for all conditions and all situations.
“The G19X was developed for the military and is a practical everyday pistol that will do what you need it to do, when you need it to; every time, in every condition,” says GLOCK VP Josh Dorsey. “The pistol was developed for the military using GLOCK’s combat proven experience with consideration to efficiency, dependability and durability. Through rigorous testing, the G19X stands out above the competition and has the ability to function in all situations with ultimate reliability and accuracy. Our goal was to meet the demanding needs of the military while maintaining our standard of perfection. With proven results, the G19X delivers maximum efficiency and trustworthiness.”
Confidence now comes in the coyote color with the first-ever factory colored slide. The nPVD slide coating of the GLOCK 19X prevents corrosion, resists chemicals, and stands up against the elements. Additional design features of the G19X include the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) with enhanced polygonal rifling and an improved barrel crown for increased accuracy, ambidextrous slide stop levers and no finger grooves for better versatility, and a lanyard loop for retention. The pistol includes a standard 17-round magazine and two 17+2-round extended magazines along with a coyote-colored pistol case.
The aggregate effect of all the G19X design enhancements gives any user the assurance to succeed and survive in all situations. A perfect “Crossover to Confidence”.
The G19X will be available beginning January 22nd, 2018 at select dealers.
That’s kind of a bummer. I was hoping it would be stamped “19 MHS” on the slide, but I also kind of expected something to prevent them from doing that. I like the color a lot better than the standard Glock tan (brown), and I also like the lip over the front of the magazine, as opposed to the notch on the Gen 5.
I’m not completely sold on the concept of a short slide and long grip for a CCW. It does look good and I guess Glock needed to recoup their investment into the MHS program.
So they took a shorter slide and longer frame, the opposite of what most people would consider concealable, but otherwise made it a regular mustard colored Gen 5 19 except they actually bothered to bevel the frame so it didn’t look totally half assed?
Everyone says this is backwards but Sig very quickly discontinued their Compact Full Length Slide P320. They didn’t even sell well at blowout prices. They sell a metric ton of their Carry szed guns which mimic this, so…
Hell the X-Carry was the most back ordered Gun at my Local FFL.
Yeah, I don’t think they’re in any way aiming this at people that want another CCW pistol. This is meant as a tactical / combat pistol. I have no issue with that - I already have a carry pistol. This one will fit in my Safariland light holster on my tactical belt just fine.
