Went to my local dealer to fondle the Glocks in the case. Mainly wanted to check out the Gen5 Glock 19. They had one in the case and it was pretty neat. I've never held a Gen2 Glock without finger grooves so that grip of the Gen5 felt a little different. Being left handed I liked the addition of the left hand slide release. I was ready to fill out the digital paperwork (laptop) when the guy behind the counter asked if I had considered the 19X. I told him I had forgot about that model honestly. He said hold on let me go grab one. We just got some in. He comes back with a FDE Glock case. I open it and I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. The all FDE (Coyote is the proper term for the color I guess from Glock) was amazing. I quickly saw 17 grip with a 19 slide configuration. But the fullsize grip felt better than the 19 Gen5 grip. I didn't like the cut out on the front of the 19 Gen5 grip. So that helped sway me. Another thing I noticed was factory installed night sights. I thought awesome! Don't have to buy different sights now. The three magazines are also coyote colored. Two have factory installed +2 base plates. So that's cool. I asked how much more will this 19X cost me? The Gen5 19 was $559.99. The 19X was $594.99. I felt it would be extra money well spent. The fit and finish seems better, and I'm a sucker for anything FDE (I mean coyote).
Can't wait to run some rounds though it!
