Published on June 7, 2019
Duration: 12:31

This review by TFB TV's James Reeves provides an in-depth look at the Full Conceal M3D, a modified Glock 19 designed for enhanced concealability. Reeves analytically breaks down the folding mechanism, discusses its benefits for deep concealment and higher capacity magazines in a compact footprint, and addresses criticisms regarding deployment speed and latch reliability. He also compares it to the Glock 43 version, favoring the latter for its pocket-sized potential.

Quick Summary

The Full Conceal M3D is a modified Glock 19 designed for enhanced concealability by folding in half. It allows for higher capacity magazines in a compact, rectangular footprint. While shooting performance is comparable to a standard Glock 19, criticisms focus on the added draw time due to the unfolding process and the fine motor skills required under stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Full Conceal M3D?

The Full Conceal M3D is a modified Glock 19 pistol that has been engineered to fold in half, significantly enhancing its concealability. It utilizes a unique mechanism to lock the frame and grip together when unfolded for firing.

How does the Full Conceal M3D improve concealability?

By folding, the M3D reduces its overall profile into a more compact, rectangular shape. This allows it to be carried in smaller spaces, like pockets, while still accommodating higher capacity magazines, such as a 21-round Magpul.

What are the main criticisms of the Full Conceal M3D?

The primary criticisms revolve around the deployment speed, as unfolding the pistol adds a slight delay to the draw time. Critics also question the reliability of the latching mechanism under stress and the need for fine motor skills during deployment.

Is the Full Conceal M3D reliable for self-defense?

While shooting performance is similar to a standard Glock 19, the added complexity of the folding mechanism and the potential for slower deployment under stress are key considerations for self-defense use. The reviewer expresses personal reservations about carrying the G19 version.
