The Glock 19X arose from the ashes of the company’s bid to be the Army’s new handgun, and, though not popular with everyone, drew a lot of attention (Photos: Chris Eger/Guns.com)
The polymer pistol maker was on hand in Las Vegas last week with both their modified Military Handgun System contract entry and some fresh additions to their fifth generation series.
By far the most buzz on the range and at the show during the week was on the Commander-style G19X crossover gun.

Using a factory Coyote scheme– a first for Glock– the 19X incorporates a G19 top half with a modified Glock 17 frame that uses a G19-length dust cover. Going past the coatings, which include an nPVD finish on the slide and nDLC finish on the barrel, the mashup includes a removable lanyard loop as a nod to its military roots.
Standard Gen 5 features carried over by the pistol include a grip devoid of finger grooves, ambi slide stops, a Glock Marksman Barrel with a new rifling and crown design, dehorned nose profile on the slide, and flared mag well– though the toe on the pistol is more pronounced.
Glock had the expanded Gen 5 family on display including the new G34
