Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key modifications in this custom EDC Glock 19X build?

This custom Glock 19X build features frame work from Rocket City Stippling (multicam black Cerakote, custom stippling, 'Joshua 1:9' engraving), slide modifications by J&L Machineworks ('The Judge' cut), a Johnny Glock Combat Trigger, Trijicon RMR optic, Ameriglo suppressor height sights, and a Surefire X300U-A weapon light.

What is the purpose of the 'Joshua 1:9' engraving on the custom Glock 19X frame?

The 'Joshua 1:9' engraving is a personal Bible verse chosen by the owner for aesthetic and personal significance. It does not impact the firearm's function or legality, provided the firearm itself remains compliant with all applicable laws.

Why are suppressor height sights used with a Trijicon RMR on this Glock 19X?

Suppressor height sights are used with the Trijicon RMR to allow for 'co-witnessing'. This means the iron sights align with the red dot, providing a backup aiming method if the electronic optic fails, ensuring continued usability.

What makes the Johnny Glock Combat Trigger a desirable upgrade for a Glock 19X?

The Johnny Glock Combat Trigger is praised for offering a crisper break and a significantly shorter, more tactile reset compared to the factory Glock trigger. This enhances shooting speed and accuracy by allowing for quicker follow-up shots.
