Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Glock 19X and how does it differ from other Glock models?

The Glock 19X is a crossover pistol that combines the full-size frame of the Glock 17 Gen 5 with the compact slide of the Glock 19. It features a unique coyote color, NPVD coating, a removable lanyard loop, and a modified frame without a flared magwell or front mag stripping recess.

What kind of barrel technology does the Glock 19X use?

The Glock 19X utilizes a hammer-forged barrel with polygonal rifling, similar to previous Glock generations. However, Gen 5 barrels, including the one in the 19X, incorporate two groove lines along the rifling to enhance bullet grip in the throat and improve gas seal for better accuracy and velocity.

What accessories come with the Glock 19X?

When purchasing a Glock 19X, you typically receive Glock night sights, two 19-round magazines, and one 17-round magazine. This configuration offers a higher capacity than a standard Glock 19.

Is the Glock 19X only available in coyote color?

As of the video's release, the Glock 19X was exclusively offered in the coyote coloring. Glock has not announced plans for other color variations at that time.
