They are just releasing the model the entered in the military pistol trials.

I was being optimistic and thinking it was more gen 5 models. I would like a gen 5 G34
Gen5 G26 and I’m there!

Yep, 19 slide on a 17 frame. Ghey. You'd think it would be the other way around.

17 slide on a 19 frame? why?

long, stupid slide with a short-ass grip - would have more slide mass/recoil and a shorter grip to control it ... not to mention how retarded it would look.

Shorter grip to make it easier to conceal while gaining the longer sight radius of the G17 slide. I won’t say it’s coming,but there are a good bit of people who have cut G17 grips down to G19 size.

I really don’t get this gun. What benefit is there to this over a G17?

I like the angle of the grip of the G17 better and you get an extra 2 rounds. The advantage I guess is weight and faster target acquisition is my guess.

Baybay hands
My hands are much larger than average. With a undercut trigger gaurd and high and tight grip the 19 fits perfect. Tried carrying a 17 but that extra half inch or so grabs ahold of everything and prints like a mofo.

Don't you carry a fucking lc9 lol

I'd much rather have a 17 slide on a 19 frame. This might be the gayest thing Glock has ever done.
Agreed. They got it backwards for sure. Instead of a G19X, it should’ve been a G19L.

BTW, the earlier comment about this thing being sexy was complete sarcasm. If you want the bigger grip, get a G17. Barrel and slide are rarely a printing issue. Capitalize on the longer barrel and sight radius. A G19 grip is easier to conceal and add the longer sights radius, I feel you have a winner.

My thoughts exactly. Hell I'd like to see a 19 frame with a 34 or 17L slide. I Carry the hell out of that.

Too chunky.
Depends on clothing and who’s carrying it. I carry my G19 in cold weather comfortably. Warm weather and I’m down to the LCP Custom.
