Frequently Asked Questions

What modifications were made to the Glock 19X for concealed carry?

The Glock 19X was modified with a Radian Ramjet and Afterburner for recoil reduction, a Trijicon RMR Type 2 optic, and suppressor height sights. For concealability, the aftermarket magwell was removed, and a medical bandage wrap was applied to the stippled frame to prevent shirt damage. A lighter recoil spring was also installed to improve ejection.

How does the Radian Ramjet affect the Glock 19X's performance?

The Radian Ramjet and Afterburner system significantly reduces recoil, making follow-up shots faster. However, it can lead to lighter ejection, which was addressed by installing a lighter recoil spring (around 13lb) to ensure reliable brass ejection, even with cheaper ammunition.

What is the main drawback of the Glock 19X frame for EDC?

The primary drawback mentioned is the magazine nub on the 19X frame, which prevents standard Gen 5 magazines with extended base plates from seating correctly. This can be resolved by modifying the frame or the magazine base plates, or by using older generation magazines.

What are the recommended sights for a red dot equipped Glock 19X?

For a Glock 19X equipped with a direct-milled Trijicon RMR, suppressor height sights are recommended. These sights allow for co-witnessing with the red dot optic, providing a backup aiming solution if the optic fails. The presenter uses Trijicon sights with orange tritium in the rear and green in the front.
