The 19x is the semi-auto pistol GLOCK designed for the U.S. military's Modular Handgun System (MHS) and is now available for civilian purchase. The 19x has many of the features of the new Gen 5 series pistols on a full-size, model 17 frame, with a compact model 19 slide and barrel assembly. The full grip makes it easy to grab the gun from a carry position and enhances shooter control. The shorter slide makes the gun faster to draw with less slide to clear a holster, and the shorter sight radius makes the gun faster to start and stop on target. The slide and main metal parts of the 19x semi-automatic pistol come with an ion-bonded, nDLC coating in Coyote brown, for increased protection against corrosion and scratching, and improved ability to function in dry conditions with minimal lubrication. The muzzle end of the slide has been beveled for a smooth draw and holstering. The finger grooves have been eliminated on the 19x frame to enhance the speed of getting the shooter's fingers into a correct hold. An ambidextrous slide stop lever accommodates both right- and left-handed shooters. A Marksman barrel with polygonal rifling provides exceptional accuracy. Rough textured frame surface (RTF) on the Coyote polymer frame provides a sure hold on the pistol when hands are wet or sweaty, and the enlarged magazine catch is reversible. An integral accessory rail in front of the trigger guard allows for the attachment of a plethora of aftermarket tactical accessories. The GLOCK 19x Semi-Auto Pistol features the simplicity and reliability that has made GLOCK pistols a favored sidearm for law enforcement, military, and civilian use all over the world.
