#Glock19X

The Glock 19X was one of the big announcements at SHOT Show last year. In case you’ve been living under a 1911, the Glock 19X is essentially a Glock 17 frame with a Glock 19 slide. Whether you’re a fan of the new crossover Glock or not, they have been selling very well. If you’re someone who is into building 80% frames, good news! The folks over at the GlockStore just released their new Glock 19X 80% frame at SHOT Show 2019.

Carrying concealed is a responsibility one must be very comfortable with. While the legal ramifications of self defense are for a more lengthy article and discussion, one cannot avoid the importance of comfort when carrying concealed. Often there is a compromise regarding the weather, your body and the clothes you wear.

The Department of Justice has awarded a private vendor a contract to provide a California federal prison with new Glock 19X pistols. The contract was awarded on the 19th September by the federal Bureau of Prisons and is worth nearly $70,000.

Having compensators on pistols is not exactly new. Competitors have been porting pistols for a very long time. Go look at any open division pistol in USPSA or IPSC. However, since the Roland Special came out, we have seen an increasing trend in compensators for Glocks. This has led to companies like Archon Mfg to make compensators. As a fan of compensated pistols, I got the opportunity to check out their Glock compensator.

Short in the front, long in the back. All mullet. Photo belongs to Taylor M. He claims this is his new 3Gun setup. I am sure it was meant as a joke. Or maybe he is so good he just wants to give himself a handicap to make the game more challenging. With this setup, he could compete in tac limited division since he is running a pump action shotgun and a non-magnified optic on his AR. Depending on the stage design this might not be a terrible setup. If the targets are not far out then the short barrel won’t make a difference. Reloading the shotgun would be tedious with such small capacity but he could switch to the handgun and make up for the shotgun.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Agency Arms event out at the Las Vegas Pro Gun Club. There were some other manufacturers there letting invitees to shoot some of their guns along with a selection of Agency Arms’ line of pistols.
