Glock 19X Report

Beautiful Early Spring Day - CRAZY WEATHER TIME



I bought a Glock 19X from KY Gun Company, shipped, for $570. Picked it up on Thursday. Took it out today and put about 600 rounds through it. Most 124 NATO, about 100 rounds of 115 cheapo stuff and 50 rounds of Speer Lawman 147 TMJ, all suppressed with AW barrel.

Short story: Not a single glitch.

Fit and finish is excellent. I love the 17 grip and 19 slide. Feels great.I have older eyes so that white front site post is a challenge, but regardless, it hit what I amed at. The trigger is fine for a Glock trigger. I will be putting an APEX in it. And I will be installing Ameriglo suppressor Sights. Wow does it get filthy. No hiding the crud on a tan finish.My black Glocks "disguise" the stuff after shooting. Speaking of which, the color is fantastic. The slide looks close to a dark bronze rather than FDE. I shot it without swapping in different grip panels for most of the session and did fine but my XXL sized hands found the large beaver tail particularly comfortable.

Accuracy? Far more accurate than me.

I did a lot of timed drills with my steel targets and loved it. Bill drills we're a blast and I pushed myself to failure then backed off and cleaned the A zone from 7 yards several times in 5 seconds. That is great for me. I worked on draws and shooting from "surrender" position. Consitently was hitting center mass on steel from 7 yards at 1.5 seconds. Good enough for me, that's for darn sure.

I enjoyed getting back to 33 yards and banging the steel in sots every second. I always hold right since I know my limitations with the Glock trigger. I gave up fighting it a long time ago.

I really like the Coyote extended mags. I removed the lanyard loop and my Taran Extensions worked fine. I am going to clean it and put an Apex trigger in it and new sights. I would like a MOS option.

Excuse the typos I am on my Smartphone and too lazy to go back and fix the typos.

Here is the 19X with a Gemtech Suppressor, Alpha Wolf Barrel and Taran +6 extension, Speer Lawman 147gr 9mm and a cigar on a beautiful day at th

Nice!! I wonder what the blue label price will be on these. I don’t know if it would be worth using one of my two blue label purchases per year on this though. Still on the fence.

Did you ever end up dropping the Apex in your Glock? Any initial impressions?

I just bought the Apex action enhancement kit and put it in my Glock 34. I installed it last night and am planning on going to the range at lunch today to give it a spin. After dry firing it a ton my impression was that it definitely cleans up the mush before the wall and has a cleaner break but the the kit is more subtle than I thought it would be. At least it looks cool, because that's whats most important

I dumped the 19X in favor of the Glock 45. My main Glocks now are a G45 and two Gen 5 Glock 34s. Love them. I only put in the Apex trigger with Glock OEM trigger bar. I gave up on messing with the internal springs and connector bar. I think the Glock Gen 5 triggers are the best yet.
