. I want the G19x just handled one today. Cool gun

 

I handled one and liked it a lot. I even got to shoot it aand liked it even more.. But I just can't get past the Butt-ugly Coyote Turd Yellow color. If they made it in black I would like it even better than the G45 because I don't like, or want, or need forward slide serrations. Between the two, I could ignore the forward slide serrations more easily than I could that awful color and I might even buy one if they made one in 40 caliber but with the same weight and thickness slide as the 9mm.

Glock just seems to know instinctively what I like and what I don't like and is going out of their way to spite me and cause me grief.

 

I also tried this experiment myself...

 

People have been putting full size mags with +2 extensions in Glock 19's for decades.

 

Would buy the 19X if it could be found. Had a chance before but passed in favor of the M9A3. Haven't seen a NIB 19X since in a dealer case.

Did get the G45 before the shutdowns and panic buying last year.

The Gen 4 mags will fit Gen 5 Glocks and the 19X. It's the Gen 5 mags that will not fit the 19X, or more specifically the Gen 5 baseplate. The +2 baseplates obviously don't matter much and will fit either.

 

A Glock17,18 magazine fits and runs fine in my Glock19's and Glock26. No cosmetic grip mods or accessories needed.

In a pinch, the Glock23, 22 mags may work too. See discussion starting about 4:30
