Glock 19X

welcome back everybody this is Eric here with Iraq veteran 8888 today we're going to be taking a look at the Glock 19 X this is a really killer pistol I know it was drawing a little bit of hate on the interwebs a little bit because it is kind of a mullet gun it's kind of party in the rear and business up front okay but we're gonna give it a mulligan this is the pistol that Glock submitted for the army trials - you know adopt a new service pistol this was part of the trials was the 19 X and it's got a lot of interesting features which we are going to discuss you guys are probably familiar with the model 45 9 millimeter from Glock the model 45 but it is a nine-millimeter pistol is essentially this pistol but with some more simplified features and at a lower price point the 19 X is basically a pretty interesting concept so you've got a 19 slide on the top on a 17 frame so you have a full size frame but with the short slide and guys people have been doing that for years that's not necessarily nothing new but it's the first time that Glock has done it and this is the first pistol that Glock has ever offered with a factory coloured slide with with this tan slide okay a few other features it does have a very unique bull nose on the front for holstering without having to actually look at the gun you can kind of feel your way in the holster a little bit easier with those bull nose cuts it does ship with night sights intact ready to go three magazines you know all the le guns or le inspired type guns that Glock sells usually will come with three magazines alright so you've got 17 shot mags this has a plus two extensions and of course we also have tan 33 round magazines as well you have a lanyard that is removable here on the bottom of the gun okay and this gun has a bit of a flaring on the bottom of the mag well that's a little bit different feature in a Glock the gen 5 magazines will not work in this particular gun you have to use the older mags or to use the specific mags to the 19 X one thing they fixed on the model 45 over the 19 X is that it should take generally all Glock mags now alright so that's one thing they made different there it has the generation 5 recoil reduction system it's got the marksmen barrel which is their improved political match-grade barrel got a 5.9 pound trigger so very very nice trigger one difference on this gun from the model 45 also is this lacks Ford cocking serrations that's something that they added to the model 45 that was not initially on this gun this is the first time we've shot it we've just taken it right out of the box wob the barrel we're gonna go right into it you can also see that it ships with interchangeable backstraps to fit a wide variety of different hands we're gonna run it without any additional back straps in place very large magazine release that's nice and generous it's got a rail system cool stuff let's give it a try see how it does okay we're gonna run some Aguila 124 grain ammunition ball we've also got some browning 147 FMJ that we're gonna run in our 33 rounder let's go for it alright I've never shot this pistol we're going to go for it initially one observation I can make very very comfortable to hold let's go for it shooting right where I'm looking there's a couple of rounds that I pulled to the left and to the right but for the most part a nice tight cluster they're shooting right where the sights are looking the sights appear to be very well mechanically zeroed right out of the box they are Glock marked night sights with the Glock logo so they're Factory night sights Wow and you really do get some monstrous grip zone going on there oh that's a grip zone I shouldn't say that that's the cuss word here all right I have a little bit of fun man shooting this pistol so far is rather infectious I feel like I just want to keep on shooting it very very comfortable to hold on to reasonably good accuracy if I can do my part here so far she's working the finish that they run on this is a proprietary finish that glock uses it's not the gen4 finish it's a sort of different it's closer to a melon iding so it's not tenifer like the old school locks it's not the gym floor finish that was given some of the problems that was kind of like a almost like a black oxide if you will this is more I would say closer to melon ight in terms of the way this finish is set up but very very cool HPV D HPV D or leaves all correct look at that piece of brass ejected hinge it it flipped up fell down and landed right back on the top there it cleared on the last last round the more I said before about Glocks poopin brass out sometimes that's a perfect example man I'm gonna tell you right now that I'm very very happy with that accuracy brew solid the gun will probably shoot better than I can but it is what it is all right now we got a we got us a stick here full of 147 we'll see how it uh digests these shall we all this needs is a Auto sear indeed maybe that's something we can do in a future video indeed they're not shooting too terribly fast there but trying to wrap them out a bit see we're gonna take a moment and reload some mags and we'll shoot a little bit more here just a second all right guys Eric's making the Glock 19 X looked pretty easy I'm gonna take a few shots with it and just kind of give you my opinion of it before we get too far going here if you guys want support what we do here on the channel we have some awesome t-shirts over on the shop and Iraq veteran 8888 comm our good buddy Matt makes those for us and he's actually out here hanging out the range with us today go over there and check out some of our offerings and you guys want support what we do those funds go right back into purchasing ammo and other equipment and supplies that we need to make these videos for you without further ado I'm going to take a few shots with the 19x here so far just handling this gun it feels just so right in the hand that 19 top on there that a little bit of extra weight near the rear it balances very well and just that full-size grip I mean what's not to like about it we are going to be running some full-size magazines here and then I'll run the stick we did break out some of the 117 grain jacketed hollow-point ammunition from Aguila so we're gonna be giving out a whirl here and the big scary stick mag mcwillie ugh Willa Aguila Aguila we never we always debate how to say that we never can say it they probably hate our guts but anyways let's take a few shots here and let me get my ears on because this thing is loud and OH one thing that I forgot about was this does feature an ambidextrous slide release so you do have a slide release on either side of the firearm and it does feature the same magazine release that was found I believe in the June force where you can just swap it from either side and have left to right hand operation so let's take a few shots and see how I can do with it here man thank feels just really right in the hand all right I'm gonna shoot a group kind of slow over here on this target I hope if I don't pull those shots it's been a min since I shot a full-size Glock you like it I do like it I'm just trying to get my sight picture on here and get my shooting all right let me see let me go over here where I got a fresh target at last uh that last piece of brass just barely pooped out of there like yeah did that to me once didn't it it did I won't get out though it didn't get out I mean it's there all right take a few shots a little bit longer range here see our gopher 6-inch popper about 30 yards away all right pepper popper all right I don't know about you it was shooting right where I was looking no no maybe I'm just having an off day with this thing [Applause] very good that's 40 yards and then we've got 75 back here can I make an observation sure and you see if you agree with me the factory Glock nitesite does it seem to you like they're a little lower profile than standard trucha cones or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me I don't know they look lower profile they do look lower profile don't they know that you mentioned that I do one thing that I do wish is that maybe the factory sites had a little bit thinner front blade you know that way you can get that nice separation between the the rear sight here and really get that front blade centered up in there this thing fills this gap pretty well so it's hard to really get a precise point of aim but it's not really what the pistols designed for it's not what I would call round that's great miss Evans on that one okay yeah I got the whole points almost shoot 75 again real quick and go ahead finish this thing out very good ordering that you had there you could probably cover it with a cantaloupe well maybe eight inch group and that's just back your bowl Emma all right so some fun with some hollow points Noah Erik drain my sodas out earlier or one target over here under melons up there our one target was kitten it was getting hit and all that spall was going over here and just killing our sodas they died an early death today all right but there are still watermelons they didn't get damaged too bad I'm going to end their suffering oh I just clipped oh my gosh oh yeah those watermelons out of here and now [Laughter] this once on the ground you start having it oh my gosh alright it's a couple of sodas low oh no I hit him there just ain't got enough fluid in them oh that one's that's right there yeah kind of drained empty dadgum it sure thank Full Metal Jacket just going right through it yep man all right so I didn't winging them right in there man got a feel for this thing now yeah we're just gonna run it what nice to make note now starting to get dark my I lost the grip a little bit that's only 20 it's all we had left anti-climatic I know but such is life all right let me let me take some I think that first shows that you here I think it bounced off the ground or ricocheted off the Gopher and hit the gong at 75 yards did you hear it well if Eric did hear I heard it we all heard it too right yeah I'm deaf as a hammer remember it is [Applause] good job [Applause] [Music] like 2-inch target 50 yards not bad that sucker will put him in there for sure it will I mean God what a cool gun so this was just meant to be kind of a first look literally just pull this thing out of the box like Eric said yeah we snaked it out with a ODIs planing kit and went to town I mean what a killer gun not a single malfunction some of those some of those ejections were a little bit on the weak side but I wonder if we run some some hotter am gonna like some NATO spec stuff like 124 grain you know I don't know if you guys notice in the in the footage but the 117 grain angular that we were running it seemed like it was maybe a little bit on the lower powered side because it was it had a kind of like a sluggish feel to it I guess like it really wasn't kicking that slide back to the rears it was still working fun I've seen a lot of Glocks run with some crazy ammo you know pretty reliably it's just they'll still get out of there but it's just got this kind of sluggish operation that was one thing that I noticed with that particular ammo there but doing the job downrange for sure but anyways guys hope you enjoyed the video and this quick look at the 19 X we will be revisiting this some point or another and shooting a little bit more and what a killer gun I mean I think I'm kind of with Erik like I I have to say that I kind of prefer this over like the 45 you know because this one is this one is basically what blocks submitted for the army trials so that's what was kind of cool about it me it it might be kind of a modern collectible at some point or another you know down the line but anyways guys hope you enjoyed the video on this here a handgun and stay tuned we've got a lot more on the way again if you guys want support we do here on the
