Billy’s Security Guard.
Filled the 9mm hole in my Glock collection with a 19X. Had a chance at one at pre-stupidity price, and couldn't pass it up.
Stuck it in a Fobus Evolution, and began carrying it.
Now, this is by no means a "compact" pistol. It immediately took me back to my G17 and G22 that I carried while policing for a decade. Very familiar, and comfortable.
The 19X addresses one issue that I always had with it's full size brethren. That half inch lopped off the business end clears the seat and seat belt buckle in a vehicle perfectly. It also hides better under an untucked T-shirt.
With the 19 round +2 magazines the grip is pretty large. Sliding the rig around to about the 3:30-4:00 position sorta puts the grip behind me a little bit, and will now pass a casual glance under a shirt. Good enough for me, but I am not concerned with total secrecy.
This pistol does require a good belt, with 20 rounds of ammo it's a little heavy.
Is this a perfect every day carry gun? No, it's not.
But it is a high capacity duty size gun that I will carry a lot and be happy.
If this thing had been around 30 years ago, I would have picked it in a hot second for duty use.
Welcome to your new home, G19X, glad to have ya...
