Glock 19X
The version born of the US military pistol trials: the same idea as the 45 — full grip and short slide — in a desert color and with a slightly longer barrel. More a sought-after collector's piece than a fundamentally different pistol.
What's good about it
- 17 rounds with a full grip
- Exceptionally durable exterior finish
- In high demand, so it holds its value on the used market
What's less good
- No optic cut — a significant drawback today
- Heavier than the others in the line
- You pay a premium for the color and the story

How to mount an optic on it
The Glock 19X has no factory optic cut, which is true of most pistols in Israel. There are two routes: milling the slide at a gunsmith, which costs more and is irreversible but sits the optic low; or an adapter that replaces the rear sight, which is cheap and reversible but sits it higher. These are the optics that mount without milling.
