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.

All Metal S&W M&P 2.0 Pros and Cons #smithandwessonpartner #9mm #handgun #review #guns

This review of the all-metal Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 highlights its shootable balance and controllable movement, largely attributed to its weight. Key pros include improved slide serrations with a cocking shelf, tritium night sights with a daylight-bright yellow-green dot, and a crisp, flat-faced trigger with a predictable pull for accuracy. The handgun is optics-ready with a versatile plate system allowing for low-profile red dot mounting and boasts a 17+1 round capacity. The primary cons identified are its significant weight and larger size, making it less ideal for concealed carry, and a slightly higher cost.
