I expected someone to ask about it, so I did it preemptively. In my experience, performance on the test has no correlation to reliability of the Glock.

Agree the 1911 extractor text has no application what so ever to a Glock. Having fired a single
Round without a mag in place a number of times I can say almost invariably the empty drops through the mag well and this in no way indicates a problem
Right you are. The last time I went through the Glock armorer course the instructor said the magazine was a part of the extraction process and aided in extraction. I know I have problems with ejecting brass when using a Magpul versus when I use a factory Glock magazine. I don't think Magpul is manufactured to the same standard, thus poor ejection. Just a theory...

Great review. I appreciate the comparison to a Glock 17 slide/Glock 19 grip combination, because some have said that would be preferable.

wait is the 19X available on the blue label program? if so I may have to get one
One of the most significant benefits of this particular configuration for a professional user is the duty-sized magazine capacity on a shorter slide, which allows the weapon on a duty rig to not dig quite so hard or so deep on common vehicle seats while rigged up. Any 17/22/21/34/35 or other full-to-competition sized weapons, especially when set up with a light and/or mounted on a mid or low ride UBL, will dig muzzle first into the seat, pressing a rig up into your body, often altering your hip/back alignment. Such misalignment will, over hours and days and months, cause serious problems. Further, such a relationship can misalign the weapon, making drawing while seated slightly more challenging than need be. For me, carrying a 19/23 sized weapon has always been easier in a vehicle, and I often did so with extensions already in place, making the mags 15+2s, or the nominal size of the 19X.

I'm going to try and pick one up on Saturday. There is a high volume blue label dealer about 80 minutes away. They will only hold a gun for 24 hours so I can call on Friday. I'm going to sell my M&P9c that I never shoot to help offset some of the cost. I bought that gun thinking I would get used to the short grip but with my big ass hands it was just never comfortable to shoot and hasn't been touched in a couple of years.
