Editor’s Note: The Glock 19X has served as Glock's first "crossover" pistol. It combines the grip length of the G17 with the frame and slide length of the G19, creating a pistol that can flex into multiple duty roles. It comes with a coyote brown frame and nPVD corrosion-resistant slide coating, ambidextrous slide stop levers, a lanyard loop, the Glock Marskman Barrel, and a flared magazine well. Those features, combined with a standard set of night sights and 3 magazines, make this Glock ready to go right out of the box.

By The Numbers
Accuracy
The Glock Marksman Barrel does its job, but won't blow you away.
Reliability
It's a Glock, it works and works well.
Customization
The aftermarket for Glocks is huge. It is dinged half a point because the flared magwell doesn't allow Gen 5 magazines to fit.
Ergonomics
It has the standard Glock blocky feeling but fits relatively well in the hand and the longer grip gives you a bit more purchase.

FINAL VERDICT
The Glock 19x ushered in a whole new craze of "crossover" pistols with full-sized grips and compact frames and slides. These are easy to point and "drive" due to the increased grip area but don't feel as cumbersome because the barrels are shorter. The 19x uses this to great effect, and it makes for a pistol that retains a solid capacity that is quick and easy to shoot. If dig the fde/coyote brown look and are eyeballing a rock-solid duty pistol that can take some punishment, the Glock 19X has just about everything you need right out of the box.
