So basically the exact opposite of what they should have put out. Cool

So they took a shorter slide and longer frame, the opposite of what most people would consider concealable, but otherwise made it a regular mustard colored Gen 5 19 except they actually bothered to bevel the frame so it didn't look totally half assed?



Wow Glock. Very impressive.

[Don Robison]

Great, exactly the opposite of what was needed. Yayy Glock

It is their MHS submission without a manual safety. No surprises, frankly.

I’m not completely sold on the concept of a short slide and long grip for a CCW. It does look good and I guess Glock needed to recoup their investment into the MHS program.

Yeah, typically we want to go the other way. G17 slide with G19 frame.

Everyone says this is backwards but Sig very quickly discontinued their Compact Full Length Slide P320. They didn't even sell well at blowout prices. They sell a metric ton of their Carry szed guns which mimic this, so...

Hell the X-Carry was the most back ordered Gun at my Local FFL.

That's my thoughts exactly. This iteration makes me scratch me head.

I’ll be getting one no matter what. But yes a 17 slide on a 19 frame would have been better.

Basically. I'd have bought one of the opposite. I have zero use for a 17 size frame, except the cutout on my Gen 5 19 is annoying.

Yeah, I don’t think they’re in any way aiming this at people that want another CCW pistol. This is meant as a tactical / combat pistol. I have no issue with that - I already have a carry pistol. This one will fit in my Safariland light holster on my tactical belt just fine.
