Navy SEAL's Combat Handgun of Choice

[@zipper978]

As a Marine who has served on combat tours in Iraq and Afghan, and worked and trained with Seals, It is so nice to see a Seal that isnt afraid to say the truth. There is so many 19x haters for no reason. 19x is a legit combat sidearm. I loved the M9 but the 19x is better in every way. I would go on deployment with the 19x over any other handgun with no problem.

[@JacksonWalter735]

I feel the same way. I was born in 2000 and grew up seeing mostly Glocks in movies, tv shows, on law enforcement, in video games, mentioned in songs, and seeing everyone at the range primarily shooting Glocks. I guess it is my generation's version of the Beretta 92, Sig P226, and 1911s (also revolvers) that many people fell in love with based on what they saw back in the day. Because of this, I'm a little bias towards Glocks. The simplistic design and look is so iconic that I've always found it attractive.

The main complaint against glock isn't looks, it's that they don't innovate, but that's exactly why they are so reliable.

Glock WAS the innovation. Glock rocked the gun market.

I agree with your reasoning with the exception of 2 minor points. I use the G23 instead of a G19 as I can (and have) purchased a 9mm conversion barrel for it. This allows me the versatility of 40 S&W (very popular in LE) and 9mm. For my own personal carry I have converted it as well to 357 SIG which is a very hard hitting round. I like the versatility that the G23 allows in the same package size as the G19. Further I prefer the G19 handle as it will accept G17 magazines as well as the G19 magazines. With the full length grip only G17 magazines will work. Just my thoughts!

Other than that, you hit every nail right in the head as to why I chose Glock as my carry weapon. Have both 43X and Gen5 19 and have never had any issues with either one of them. The only malfunction I did witness, was my wife’s first trip to the range and limp wristing and had a failure to feed. Showed he what she did wrong and it never happened again. There’s a reason they are one of, if not the highest selling handgun.

[@charlesdonahue3667]

I'm a long time S&W MP 2.0 guy who became Glock curious. I opted for the 17 Gen 5. Yes, I thought it looked a little boring, but I absolutely agree with Chadd in regard to the reliability. The Glock eats every ammo I put through it with zero jams or misfires. The same can be said about my S&W MP 2.0. The only thing I don't like about Glocks are their tiny, sharp, takedown pins. I'm a big fan of takedown levers. I laughed when Chadd made the Sig comment. I recently purchased a p229 Legion. It's the prettiest gun I own, but I've had countless failures. I thought perhaps I may have been limp wristing it so I booked a session with an instructor and he had the same problem and suggested that I return it. I even upgraded to Sig's ammo and still had the problem. I returned it to Sig, so we'll see what happens.

[@GookInaTree]

I bought an sig P229 legion RX model years back. Sold it shortly after due to failure to feed. Sig said I was limp wristing it but I’m sure I wasn’t. The Romeo zero sucked ass too, battery door and the battery comes flying off at the range under recoil. I sold it for $1100, bought it for $1600. Been regretting it but reading your comment now I don’t miss the frustration of a high dollar weapon failing. Some other reviewers also had failures with it. Maybe after its break in period it should be good but it was just a pretty gun.

[@charlesdonahue3667]

​@@GookInaTree Update: As noted, I purchased Sig ammo and still had the same problem, so I returned it to Sig. Since the repair I have not had any problems but the experience soured me on the firearm and I just don't take it to the range as much as my other firearms. S&W remains my favorite company. I have six products from them and they check all the boxes for me. In my early collection years I sampled various competitive brands and S&W was always my clear favorite. Sadly, I no longer trust firearm product reviews. My suspicion is many are paid spokesmen and women. What troubled me most about my p229 Legion experience was that the Sig representative told me that I needed top of the line ammo for my firearm to function efficiently. He used the "you wouldn't put cheap gas in a Ferrari analogy." Well the most important box I want to check with a firearm is that it goes bang when I pull the trigger. I don't want to be in an emergency situation and have to worry about whether I loaded the 'good' ammo. I probably won't sell it anytime soon but it just sits in the safe while I have fun with my S&W and other models.

Glock 19X "Adequate Perfection"

[@lonerangersheriff]

I’ve been carrying my G22/Gen3 since 2002-same gun. I prefer the 40, it’s a man stopper. But to each their own. The X19 to me would be awesome if it could be chambered in a 40 also.

[@MC-qy6fz]

As with any caliber it's all about shot placement. I have personal knowledge of 2 shootings of persons shot with .40, first guy took multiple (7-8) hits, lower center mass. Other incident was 1 to head. Both survived. I sat in on more trials or had working insight of shootings with 9mm or smaller caliber where subject expired relatively quickly.

If your “training” only consist of going to the range to do some target shooting, you’ll never experience this. However, if it’s a pistol that you’ll be carrying on a daily basis for self defense, I would advise swapping them out. Sooner or later you’ll agree!

A great way to improve the mag change is to get a heavier than stock aluminum base plate. I run a 19 with Tyrant Designs +5 on OEM mags. The added weight helps an empty mag drop free. 19 with the +5 on OEM = 20rd mags. It is really nice way to go. I am not sure what is out there for the 19x because of the nub at the bottom of the grip but the 45 can take the Tyrant Designs +5 making them 22rd mags.

Quick update to my prior post. So I cut the slide for an optic and installed the Glock Performance Trigger in my 19X and it is pure perfection now.

Will be picking up another 19X soon as they are extremely affordable as people just can’t realize how awesome a gun this is. So you all are aware, I was informed by a Glock dealer that any 19X that starts with “PX” is an Austrian made firearm. They are starting to make these in the US now.

Love Glocks, and my G29 10mm is the only handgun in my collection that broke. Plastic factory guide rod broke and I was done shooting for the day. Got home and noticed frame had a crack to boot. Checked online forums and found cracked frames are not uncommon. My advice is replace the factory guide rod while you’re replacing the sights and adequate trigger. I opted for a G45 vs the 19X.

[@LootDropShepherd]

Only reason to go for the 19x vs the 45 is for the standard night sights and spring cups. At around the same price. I bought the 19x but if it had been apples to apples would have bought the 45

[@9770G]

Glocks have been known to go 200,000 rounds on OEM parts. I could see changing the guide rod for a steel or tungsten one but I would NOT change the trigger. Just sights and guide rod and throw a optic on it. That’s all it’s needs👍🏻

[@robertborne895]

I’m not a Special Forces Operator but have done my share of competitive shooting…Glock’s are excellent for their quality and the 19X (with its better sights, magazines, and water cups) is the best of the bunch. If I had only one firearm to bet my life on, I would still lean toward the HK USP. Tried and true. It has been tested by everyone and their brother and thirty plus years later it is a tank. And for me, I am much more accurate on target with each version (9mm, .40, and 45ACP). And as awesome as Glocks are, there are so many competitors making “better versions “ of the “Perfect Pistol”. One doesn’t seem to have that with the USP; it is that good!! The Steyr M9 A1 or A2 is also excellent and if they had better aftermarket support, I do think that they are a legitimate rival to Glock.

Awesome brother! Try the Glock 45. Same gun but comes in black and usually with better sights. I also think it comes with an improved trigger from the factory. Don’t quote me on that but mine felt noticeably different from standard Glocks right out of the box. My favorite Glock by far.

[@thepracticalrifleman]

He didn’t really say why the 19X was better and mentioned an actual difference between them other than he mentioned the lanyard (which can be added to the G45) and standard with crappy night sights. The Agents that are optional on the G45 is superior to the G19X sights. But he fails to mention the negatives of the G19X: it can’t use all Glock 17 mags. It can only use the third and forth generation magazines. Gen 5 magazines are incompatible.

[@Freeeeeeeedoooooooom]

I like Glocks just fine but prefer other handguns. I carry a Walther P99C AS for my CCW. I love the de-cocker and the trigger. I have a Beretta M9A4 I carry with my 782 gear as a GTW sidearm. I have a Springfield Armory XDM Elite in 10mm for critters when out in the sticks...Just personal preference for me. I certainly don't hate Glocks but I went through HRP with the M9. My familiarity with the weapon makes it an easy choice. I'm perfectly happy with it as my GTW sidearm. I use what works for me, as I believe everybody should.

[@CountryBoyPrepper]

I've been shooting glocks for 26 years. I've owned many. I agree, the 19X is the best yet and would be the pistol I grabbed first. Two things I don't like however are the little "nub" on the front bottom of the grip and the lanyard loop. I removed both. When I looked at how the lanyard loop is retained, it did not inspire confidence. After removing the lanyard loop it left a neat little hole in the bottom of the grip that I would much rather use to attach a lanyard. I used a dremel and fine sand paper to remove the front nub. The reason I removed it is, you can't insert a 17 gen5 mag. The original gen5s had that cut out (that everyone hated) at the bottom front of the grip. The gen5 mag base plates extend out the front further than normal glock mags making them incompatible with the factory 19X. Mag cross compatibility is one of the things that makes glock great! I have no idea why they put that little nub at the bottom of the grip. If anyone knows, I'd love to hear it! Good shooting at 25!

I have checked it and the G45 at my LGS. I was leaning towards the G45 due to being able to use G17 Gen 5 mags without having to change the baseplates. I like the finish on the 19X and the lanyard loop so, it may come down to the best deal.
