Maybe the 1911 doesn’t need constant grip redesigns cause it doesn’t feel like you’re holding a potato.
I'mma call you 2 gun Stu.

Might do that at IDPA SaturdayGuns akimbo.
unless you intend to carry it - i sold 19s and left only 17s. i like the 17 frame way better. if all your old mags are pre-ban in 19 factor - then, well, it makes it more complicated.I'm bumping a 3.5-year-old thread rather starting new; this one seems as good as any.
I've finally grown tired of fighting the finger grooves on my Gen 3 G19, and am planning to move up to a Gen 5. I'm torn between staying with the G19 because I already have mags, or going up to the 19X/45 because it might fit my hands better.
Do any of y'all with the 45/19X want to meet up tolet me fondle your gearhelp me decide? In the case of the 19X, can anybody explain the whole "doesn't fit magazines" issue?
I don't have any pre-bans. I'm tall and slim, with oversized dick-beaters (if only the rest would keep up). I plan to carry it, specifically at appendix.unless you intend to carry it - i sold 19s and left only 17s. i like the 17 frame way better. if all your old mags are pre-ban in 19 factor - then, well, it makes it more complicated.
and i see 0 reason for a shorter 19 slide on the 17 frame.
size wise stock grip in gen5 is somewhat what an old SF frame was - and you have 3 backstrips to put in there, so it fits everybody after adjustments. i use medium. if you will be on the cleanup party i can bring 17/34 there.
Honestly, look at the Masada then. It's the same size as a 19x but the ergonomics are far superior imho. I loved Glocks for years but now carry the IWI. PM me if you want to try mine.I don't have any pre-bans.
I would love to.Honestly, look at the Masada then. It's the same size as a 19x but the ergonomics are far superior imho. I loved Glocks for years but now carry the IWI. PM me if you want to try mine.
after i started to carry p365 i do not look back to that. both 19 and 17 slides are a pain to drive with, for me.I plan to carry it, specifically at appendix.
Squeezing into your P-car seems a different calculus than sliding into my Tacoma. If/when I replace my Shield, it'll probably be a P365.after i started to carry p365 i do not look back to that. both 19 and 17 slides are a pain to drive with, for me.
again, not to sing a same song of how the p365 is greater than anything since a sliced bread - i shot it several times lately at the steel plates pad next to 25/50 range - and was amazed every time how consistent it is and how easy it hits the dueling tree leaves. it is just a good small gun, and it shoots well - what else to ask for?Squeezing into your P-car seems a different calculus than sliding into my Tacoma.

It's a great gun. Despite its size, my meatpaws manage to handle it ok.again, not to sing a same song of how the p365 is greater than anything since a sliced bread - i shot it several times lately at the steel plates pad next to 25/50 range - and was amazed every time how consistent it is and how easy it hits the dueling tree leaves. it is just a good small gun, and it shoots well - what else to ask for?
This is why I didn't run the Shield in the 2-day Seeklander class this week...its trigger is better and it's easier to conceal. But the 19 is hard enough to keep my hands on, going smaller isn't going to be any fun. (I think I saw you driving into the club one of the two mornings as we were getting set up.)but if shot long enough it blisters your hand with a recoil, or course, as it is still small.
yep - went to try out new barrel on the 308, it did not work out well, so, it got shipped back to opticsplanet.I think I saw you driving into the club one of the two mornings as we were getting set up.
Very much. Tons of learning to internalize. Looking forward to forcing myself to improve as a result. (It also really pushed me up against how much I haven't been practicing.)did you like the class?
That part came later.i saw a bunch of people but did not hear a lot of shooting from the pit.
Ok - what's the black thing on the bottom of the 19X, a magwell?19x/45 is hands down my favorite handgun currently, power move is having a 19 frame you can toss the tricked out 19x/45 slide on for some extra concealment.

I think I've read the forward lug means standard G17 mags don't fit. Is that true? And they do fit the G45?I dremeled the stupid forward lug off the front grip, took the dumb lanyard thing out, and smashed a magpul magwell thing on there with some black rtv.
Just go buy a 45, best handgun glock ever made.I'm bumping a 3.5-year-old thread rather starting new; this one seems as good as any.

You try any of the Sig short barrel ammunition with it? I picked up 200 rounds of their 365 JHP to try out.but if shot long enough it blisters your hand with a recoil, or course, as it is still small.

I said the same thing when someone showed me the 19x. I’m thinking the length of the handle is what makes a CC pistol. And extra inch and a half on the barrel doesn’t hurt concealment and improves accuracy, muzzle velocity, etc. put a G17 slide on a G19 frame and we can talk. I can just add a mag extension to stock G19 and basically have a 19x.The bulkyness of a 17 frame added to the shorter line of sight of the 19. Stroke of a genius right there. Would've made more sense the other way around. It's all the drawbacks in one (not so small) package. I own Glocks, but this makes no sense whatsoever.

I thought that also. After shooting one it just works a lot better then it should. The grip angle on the 17 works better for me then the 19. Even though I have 3x as many rounds though any of my 19s vs my 17. It was really impressive at least for me and the couple of hundred rounds I put through one earlier this year.I said the same thing when someone showed me the 19x.
