Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary advantage of the Glock 19X's grip size for concealed carry?

While a full-size grip can be harder to conceal, the Glock 19X's larger grip offers enhanced purchase for drawing and shooting. When using appendix carry, the larger grip is effectively mitigated by lower garments, making it a viable option for concealed carry.

How does the PHLSter Spotlight holster retain a Glock 19X with a weapon light?

The PHLSter Spotlight holster is designed for appendix carry and relies on the attached weapon light for retention. The handgun itself may not fit snugly without the light, but with the light attached, retention is secure and effective for comfortable all-day carry.

What are the key features of the Surefire X300U weapon light discussed in the video?

The Surefire X300U weapon light featured boasts 1000 lumens of output. It measures 1 and 1/8 inches in diameter, 3.6 inches long, and weighs 4 ounces with batteries. This latest version is the same size and price as the previous 600-lumen model.

What makes the Glock 19X unique compared to other Glock models for concealed carry?

The Glock 19X stands out with its full-size grip and shorter slide, a configuration originally developed for the US Army's MHS program. It also features a factory-first flat dark earth slide, a marksman barrel, and G5 series design elements like rounded edges and straight grip without finger grooves.
