I fail to see what advantage a fullsize frame with a short slide affords the user.

    Of course, these will sell in their millions because Glock
    I can only speak for myself but I struggle a bit with a regular #19 because its grip is too short for my hands. This thing might suit me perfectly. A full size grip on a compact pistol sounds good to me. I take the point about concealability though, this arrangement makes sense to me.

    Interesting. What most people don't realize is that operators have a specific habit of down loading their mags by about two rounds for reliable feeding... This extended frame makes it effectively a 15 rounder for them which works out rather nicely

    I held a 19X today, and I must say it felt "great in the hands". hahaha.

    Would love to still shoot one, when I can compare it next to my 19 Gen5(When I get it), but maybe I rather shouldn't.......

    Just out of interest compare a Glock 19 mag to say a 15 round Beretta mag. The Beretta is around 12 mm longer for the same capacity.

    Given all the internet chatter about why Glock chose to go with a 19-long instead of a 17-short it might come as a bit of a surprise to some to hear that the 19X has sold over 100 000 units in the US in just 180 days.

    That is supremely impressive and goes to show that maybe Gaston does have a bit of a clue about what he's doing.
