Glock 45 Vs Glock 19X Vs Glock 19 Gen 5

[@ricks.1092]

A Glock newest model (e.g. G45) is not based of patents. The G45 doesn't have any new patents offered. Glock got a lot of patents from the beginning even prior to manufacturing firearms... When the G17 came out it was Glocks 17th patent. From then on, anything Glock makes in firearms that's different simply gets the next model number...hence the model 45. Too many people believe with each new model that it either represents a new patent added to said new model or represents how many subsequent Patents Glock has....i.e. 45 patents. Which Glock does Not have 45 patents per se.

[@MarksmanTV]

Thanks for the clarification, I confused "patents" with "models". Pinned to the top.

[@chipb9632]

Rick S . Where’s the Glock 44 model #,,

[@trishajohanningsmeier3186]

I thought the G45 had the same coating as the 19x?

[@turdfurg47]

So you're telling me the glock 17 has a 17 lb guide rod was their 17th patent(even tho you cant just a gun) n they were like lets call it the glock 17... Why? Idk cause it holds 17 rounds

[@fomomofo6917]

Once I believe. One patent and then it’s free I believe.

[@bobbuell5968]

good description. I thought I wanted a 19x... now I know I want a 45.

[@edwardlilley1705]

Yeah the 19x has a lot of dumb military requirements. G45 is a really cool gun, I don't think I'd buy one over a g19 personally but then again I don't need a duty gun, and that slightly shorter grip for edc is preferred for me.

[@kevingarcia3621]

I really wanted my first gun to be the 19x but suddenly decided to go with the 45 and man I don’t regret it ✊🏼

thank you for this amazing comparison! Wanted to see the differences, but didn't need a lot of fluff. Well, done sir!

[@RC.56]

Got mine today!! I went in for a g19, and didn’t even know about the 45. The 19 grip was just a bit short for me, the 45 is sweet. I also have a 43x for ccw, same length grip as the 19, but thinner, also love it.

[@uno4606]

Get the shield arms s15 mags for the 43x and switch your mag release to metal steel.

[@landenx]

I wish Glock would offer more models in that 19x tan color

[@troygoeckerman5712]

Thanks for the informative video! I recently bought the Glock 19 Gen 5 in Sep 2022. This latest version has all the updated changes that the 19X has on it, which at the time didn't have when the video was released. Thanks again for the video.

[@graywolf432]

Well-done video. The G45 combines the bests of the G17 and G19.

I thought that's what the 19X did.

I ended up with the 19X and love it

[@richardbrewer8301]

I've still got my Gen 3 Glock 19 that has had thousands of rounds through it and still keeps pumping out lead with no problem. The only other Glock I would like to have would be the 19x , it's an awesome firearm.

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

I can concur. It works flawlessly.

[@AmericanFamilyAdventures]

I really liked the 19x out of the three but didn't have a practical use for it. Being as I could only get one I got the G17 MOS and love it. I did some upgrades to it as far as sights and trigger.

[@PayPerBuck]

Went from a Gen 4 G23, to a Gen 5 G45 MOS today, finally got my approval after a 24 hour NICS delay, and let me tell you, best Glock I’ve owned and shot ever!! Wow! Glock has somehow improved Perfection.

[@jakemorales1765]

Does it shoot smoother than the 23? I prefer the 23 over the 19 even tho it’s .40

[@Ca3ul]

@@jakemorales1765same I prefer the 23 over the 45 cause it has less recoil

[@johndeere1951a]

The G19X is probably the most ergonomic and balanced Glock in its 40+year history. Thank you Glock. You omitted the fact that the 19X includes 1-17 Rd magazine, and 2- 19 Rd magazines. First time for metal night sights as standard on the G19X. The improved trigger and marksman barrel included. The G19X is now as of 3/2023 a bargain at 588.oo clams everywhere. The new military Coyote finish a first for Glock adds to it's exclusivity. A very desirable model as proved by its sales success. Love mine along with another GLOCK masterpiece, my G17L with 6.02" barrel. PERFECTION. Thank you GLOCK. 💥☮️🇺🇲✌️

[@Rayvisin]

Super late but I've noticed between my glocks the 19x has a slight upgraded trigger...

I guess Glock will only sell the same with new serrarations and cuts for the next 100 years

[@brentfoto]

Good video! Too bad that we can't buy any of those contained in the video, due to the ridiculous Roster here in CA..

[@rileypeak3196]

The mag cutout is for malfunctions where you need to strip the mag out, not quick reloads. Good video though

This has been a very informational video thank you. It’s helped immensely on making a decision on a new gun.

[@SRTJAY707]

I have the 19,19x and G45 and I have to say my favorite is the G45 because you basically get the full frame size like the 17 and 19x and just prefer to carry a black hand gun over the 19x coyote color.

best review I've seen Thank you for the explanation

[@ferrasgunreviews3426]

I’m turning 21 August 3, and am going to look at Barretta, glock, or sig for my first pistol. I wish I had the money for all 3 but I don’t. I have shot my dads glock 45, not a fan of the stock sights or the take down of it, however, it is so reliable. I’ve also heard that glocks can either have a good trigger or bad trigger out the box. If I’d go with glock it would either be the 43x or 19. Never shot a sig before but that is my second choice. I know both glock and sig are super reliable, just not a fan of the look of the sig models like the glock, however I like the stock sights so much better and would not have to spend any more money on a sight. I’ve never been around a Barretta, however I’ve heard mixed reviews on the reliability of them, but, out of the three I love the look of Barretta so much better than both glock and sig. I’m going for a future ccw so.

[@chrismc410]

Basically the Glock Model 45 is their answer to Beretta 92/96 Centurion: 19 slide and barrel, full sized 17 frame as was the case with the Centurion: 92/96 compact slide and barrel, full size frame

[@hurtboychulo7371]

There was multiple number of design changes in the magazines during any one generation of Glock. The first generation of Glock 17 had 3 different design changes on its magazines

[@josephcastro5894]

[@The_Kirk_Lazarus]

The bottom of the 19x is flared out for as it is to facilitate quick magazine changes.

[@Superabound2]

The 19X would have been a lot better if the left the thumb safety on. Would have made it totally distinct from the rest of the line. There was no reason to take it off

[@jayo4343]

Went back and forth with all 4 (19, 19x, 45 and 17). I ended up going with the 17 simply because I already have 48 for edc. But if I had to pick between 19x and 45, I’ll probably go with the 45 simply because of the price

Well you get night sights with the 19x so it’s worth the extra money

4:11 Now that is a worthwhile change! I see that the Glock 45 also comes in that same mustard/tan color like the 19x. If the 19x is a cross between two pistols, what is the 43x a cross between?

Would have been helpful if you would have over laid 1 on top of the other to compare sizes.

I have enjoyed my G45, pairs functionally well with a Trigicon RM01 red dot and Olight Baldr S 1600 lumen tac light and green laser. I did have to add, mag release, slide stop and release extensions due to mild arthritis, oh and also a Chambermax backplate mounted slide release, a great addition for anyone, wish I could attach pics

Everyone will always provide reasons on why they chose one over the other. The 19x is a wonderful firearm. I chose it over the 45.

The G19x was originally for military but the military end up going with the SIG so they offered it to the public but the 45 is Technically the same just black great explanation

got the 19x because glock are only making a certain amount of them. i have HUGE hands and even though the 19 fits like a 🥊 when i shot the 19x for the 1st time...fell in love!! i’m not even a glock guy🤣 gotta deal as well..19x plus tlr7a streamlight $800..pretty sure some glock guy will buy it for at least $1000 when glock stops making them!!!

XXX thanks. That was constructive.

[@MarksmanTV]

It really depends if you like the more compact nature of the Glock 19 grip size. Going up to the G45 you will get a larger frame. Also, some of the Gen 5 features are an upgrade such as the barrel. At the end of the day you will need to decide if those changes are something you are looking for and if you want to pay the cost of selling your used firearm in exchange for a new one. Thanks for watching!

[@bob_the_madman]

I could see the usefulness of the half moon cut-out on the gen5 series if you were wearing gloves & needed some extra real estate to grab w/ a malfunction to rip the mag out. That said, I chose the G45 as my new duty weapon, replacing my old gen4 G19 & I'm happy they did away w/ the finger grooves (mine did come stock w/ Glock night sights, which get the job done, but looking at trijicon HD's in the near future). The only thing I don't like is the texturing. Too aggressive for me, especially on the front strap, so like my gen4 I through Talon grips on.

Very good I think I may go with the 45

[@iansamuelson3666]

Man this is tough. I had almost decided on a Gen 3 19, but I'm a lefty, so the ambi slide stop/release on these models is very enticing. I think the 45 is in the lead.

[@vineysmadshow]

Stick to the G19. If you need to go long, use a 17rd mag with a sleeve, if you need to go short use the 15rd mags. You do not have this modularity in the G19x/45. Also, you do not need the hexagonal barrel of the G19x/45, shooting skills will negate its use. If you do need a match barrel, just buy a KKM.

[@danteprice1874]

The g19 grip is too small you must be a lil guy my whole pinky hangin off the g19 the g45 is better than the 19 and actually shoots slightly better and more comfortable and has less recoil with higher mag capacity 4 inch barrel still ccw if youre not a midget.

Do they got a 17 barrel on a 19 grip? That woulda been the one not sacrificing velocity and accuracy and you can still use 19 & 17 mags!

Thank you! This is the constant question i have been wondering. Why didnt they offer a 19L so you still have 19 frame but a 17 length barrel? They offer a 17L and a 34? Why 2 models that are essentially the same? (19x and 45)

[@danteprice1874]

Its not backwards its an option for CCW and EDC with a compact barrel and higher standard mag capacity and the configuration actually shoots with less recoil than a 19 making it a more accurate pistol after consecutive shots. Im 6’4 anx my hands and long as shit the 19 with extentions is dumb just get a 17 or a 45 .. the types of complaints i hear gotta be from guys thats smaller than 5’10 cause some of the shit yall say make no sense. You can conceal a g45 just as well as a 19 or 43x with the s15 and plus 5 ext.. its the same shit
