Is the lower half compatible with a standard G19? I guess time will tell.

I want that rotating barrel one.
Which hog legged sombitch is the one I speak of? |
|
Wow, you can buy a HKP30 for the same price or for a hundred more get a HK45C

This was designed for the Army handgun trials, not for CCW

Maybe cuz it wasn’t designed for fucking CCW? Just a thought.
|

I kinda like the idea because I have large hands. No experience with CCW because of NJ though.

Mill it for an RMR and you have a serious duty pistol.
And dremel off the stupid tab at the bottom of the grip that prevents you from seating regular glock mags... |

What's funny is all versions of G19 are the same price if you order through the Blue Label program ($399)....yet the prices differ on the retail side (i.e gen 3 vs 4).

Yup... this new design doesn't make much since to me as a mere mortal civy. If I'm going to have a 17 frame I'm going to run a full size or long slide. Now a 19 with a 17 slide I would be interested in. View Quote If you have a G19 and G17, line up the pins, trace (on both sides) where the G19 frame sits on the 17 with a silver sharpie. Then apply blue painters tape along that line on the G17 on the "keep" side (not the part you are removing). (make sure it is unloaded. take barrel out if you are really worried about it, but remember....guns will hurt/kill you if you are not paying attention) Stuff a damp paper towel up in the mag well. Then use dremel cut off wheel (on SLOW speed) to slowly etch that line in, very so very ever so very carefully just below the painters tape. I mean as close to that painters tape as you can get. Go back and forth like you are trying to make the hair stand up on the back of your wife's neck sort of soft. You get that line etched in, then just below it that's where you are going to cut. Using the same deliberate motion, gently and slowly, taking your time....cut through the material, as straight as you possibly can using the line as a guide. Once you have that removed, use the sanding wheel to remove that last bit so that it's flush with the painters tape. Again, use the slow setting and a light touch. Test fit a mag. Does it lock in without excess pressure? If so, you have removed enough material. Finish however you want, bevel the inside or whatever. If you want an nice slick look after sanding, get a fabric wheel and polishing compound and run the edge parallel with the mandrel. It will slick up the plastic and get rid of the sanding marks. |

But LAV said on facebook that it was "very soft shooting". How it's any more soft shooting than a G19, I'll never know. One particularly smart commenter opined that it was soft shooting due to it having less reciprocating mass than a G19. View Quote |

In this thread, we learn who doesn't use a gun out of a holster.
the 19X Looks to be a perfect OWB handgun, and that was it's intended purpose.... a true working mans gun? Why are you guys trying to stick it down your pants??? |

My LGS has one. I handled it. I really like it. Just not worth the money to me this close after Christmas.

Got one. Didn't pay anywhere near that for it. Shot it today at lunch. It's a shooter.

Quoted: It'll be great for appendix carry. The grip isn't hard to conceal and you don't have the longer barrel digging into your crotch. It'll also be a great suppressor host. Full size grip but a bit shorter OAL. It'll also be a great RMR host where sight radius is irrelevant. But there's no practical use for this gun whatsoever View Quote |

Looks more gold than FDE. View Quote One slide was more golden, one was more brown. Sort of like how SCARs are different in color. One was priced $525, the other was $589. To hold they didn't feel bad, a lot like a Colt Commander. |

I don't get the appeal. For CCW the grip is the hardest part to corneal... View Quote The grip is covered by your shirt whether its a two finger 26 grip or full hand 17 grip. However brl and slide length matters as they make peak out under your shirt when carried in an OWB holster. |

Here is a spy shot of Glock's new pistol, the Glock 87! https://i.imgur.com/USqi8EJ.png It has a 1.37 inch barrel and 25 round capacity! View Quote |

So a Glock with factory night sights at $620. At a time when HK drops the P30 to $599 MSRP, classic Sigs are touching the high $600's, and P320's are dropping under $500.
This really is the strangest timeline. |

My G17C was significantly louder than my G19 with the shorter barrel.

G17 finger grooves are fine, although I still prefer not having them. G19 finger grooves don't fit my hand at all. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I don't get the appeal. For CCW the grip is the hardest part to corneal, for practical shooting a longer slide makes sense. Seems like a solution looking for a problem. View Quote Someone figured that the length of the 17 slide didn't offer any real advantages. |
