Glock 19X Coming January 22, 2018

[El Cid]

I just checked Glock's website. For width (with red bars on each side of the slide) they list a Gen 4 G19 as 30mm, a Gen 5 G19 as 34mm, and the 19X as 33mm.

I had issues with a couple of my kydex holsters not working with my gen5 Glock 19, as the dual slide stop was hitting the side. I took a hair dryer set on high and heated up the portion of the holster, then pushed it a bit using a flat head screw driver. I was able to modify all of my holsters in about 5 minutes per holster.

Does not fit!

Not this.

Having to modify something means it does not fit. As per the post above yours they are different widths.

So Raven Concealment Phantom for G17 Gen 4 should fit Gen 5 no problem? Have a match coming up and didn't even occur to me that this was an issue? Checked just now my Gen 5 17 & 19X. Seemed a little harder to take out but im sure its because there new around the trigger guard. No issues with slide stop.

Had an older DeSantis kydex that will not enter past the right side slide stop. Not the kind of thing i would want to find out at a match without a spare working holster.

Thank you.

I’ve used a heat gun a few times on two different Safariland ALS holsters. The DG Switch on the X300 light made the fit too tight. We heated it up and bent the lip out a little until the bar on the switch fit.

I have a RCS Phantom for a G17 Gen4 and It fits my 19X fine.

So the sky isn't falling?

From what I've read while considering a Gen5 or 19X, it just depends on the holster maker and is pretty easy to modify in most cases if it doesn't fit.

Yep it just seems to depend on how much space they have to accommodate the ambi slide lock. My friends G26, and G19 would not fit in my Incogs for example.

I noticed that the Stealth Gear Ventcore holster I received about a month ago already has a little bulge added for the Gen 5 right side slide lock lever. I’m guessing all the manufacturers are in the process of updating their existing holsters like that.
