This episode of 'Who Moved My Freedom' features a discussion about the new 2018 Glock 19X. The hosts analyze its design, noting the 17-frame with a 19-slide combination, offering a 17-round capacity in a shorter grip profile. They discuss its origins in military trials, the inclusion of metal night sights, and the improved barrel. While acknowledging Glock's conservative approach to innovation, they debate the value proposition of the 19X at its price point, considering its unique features and potential appeal to consumers looking for something different from the standard Glock offerings.

The US Army has selected the Sig Sauer P320 as its new service pistol, replacing the M9. The selection was part of the XM7 program, which tested pistols from various manufacturers including FN, Smith & Wesson, and Glock. The P320's modular design and availability in multiple calibers, including 9mm and potentially 40 Smith & Wesson, were key factors. The Army plans to purchase over 200,000 full-size pistols and 7,000 compact versions, with a total contract value up to $580 million.
