I don't particularly see the reason for this, BUT, it's a Glock so of course, I will get one. Can't wait to pick up my Gen 5 G17 & G19 tomorrow!!!

I MAY just have to get my HQL, now.

Think Colt Commander/Combat Commander.
Beretta Centurion.

Same/same.

Full-sized frame, shorter barrel/slide assembly.

Like a fool, I didn't get the Centurion when I could have.
Like a fool, I sold my beloved Combat Commander.

I just might have to eat my words..... get the HQL...... and get the 19X. (Not sure why they're not calling it the 17C (for compact or custom). :shrug:

Because it's already taken. https://us.glock.com/products/model/g17cgen4

Ah yes. 17 ported. Forgot all about that.

Thanks!

I was hoping this new release was a Glock carbine. Huge let down.

As far as I'm concerned the G19/23 is a "full sized" grip. I have rather small hands so no need for me personally to have G17 sized grip. The extra rounds would be nice but making the hardest part to conceal "larger" doesn't work for me.

I agree had it been on the market 10 years ago it certainly would have been a real popular duty gun for LEO's.

I can see where this might be useful for some, but I'd like a factory suppressor ready model MOS/tall sights/threaded barrel, or a 19 slide on a 26 frame.

which is basically already a glock copy

Umm how??

The X carry is better in every single way and an advancement here in 2017-2018..where the Glock is a minor upgrade from its early 80’s design.
X carry has a nice slide cut out to reduce weight of the slide, iron tritium night sights standard not plastic like glock, cutout for a rmr, better controls, steel guide rod not plastic like glock, better grip texture/stippling, has a stainless slide (which is then nitron coated), modular ability to swap frames, front serrations, nice quality metal mags not plastic like glock, a better trigger (also prefer the flat design personally).. And let’s face it, it flat out looks much better but that’s subjective

But other than that, sure I guess you could call every single polymer gun ever made a glock copy

Put a 19 slide on a 17 frame and the Glock fan base goes crazy

Not everyone. My platform is almost entirely Glock and I will go on record as saying that I find this to be the worst of both worlds!

I carry a 19 every day...and hate it. The reason I hate it would (mostly) be solved by this model. The 19 grip is the *perfect* length to catch the meat of my palm between the mag base and the mag well on reloads. Range days suck for that reason.

Then again, if I was going to have a 17 grip, I'd probably prefer a 17 slide anyway.

After watching Sootch00's video, this is a money grab by glock. If it's $50 more than a NS G19 maybe. But more than that I'd get a Vickers G19/17.
It should have had the MOS cut and a TB. It is cool and addresses a hole in Glocktopia.
For that matter the Sig Xcarry is hot and I would get that in a second. It almost a grand though.

erwos · Jan 2, 2018

Lack of a TB is a legitimate complaint, given that I believe the MHS program did specify that as a capability.

Biggfoot44 · Jan 2, 2018

Hey , I thought of this in 1988 !

Like Bfy43 said , think Combat Commander .

People who obsess over capacity will drool , those whose hands actually fit a G17 frame better will like the option of the shorter bbl .

For me, the 19 grip was just a little short too, the Magpul magwell extends and flares it a little, doesn't add any real length, and does speed up reloads. Can't beat it for a $20 part.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

That'd match up with my M&P .45, in an odd way admittedly. I have a full-size frame, but with the 4" barrel.

But, seeing as I already have a 31 and a 32, can't say I'm tempted to spend the money.

I almost bought the X carry for $697 but damn Maryland Handgun roster would have to be submitted then approval roughly April to take ownership..plus gun budget has gone way over budget

Tracker · Jan 2, 2018

I've had something very similar for about 15yrs. Its called a Springfield XD9 service model. A 4 inch barrel with full sized grip. I think Glock will sell a lot of this new model. Shooting the XD is like pointing your finger and I'm sure the Glock will be just as good. I hope they will sell a 10rd model so us poor saps in MD. can get one.

I need a magwell

I really like something like a small magwell or extended floorplate, helps lock in your grip. Only real issue with the magwell is that it would be near impossible to grab and strip a stuck mag, although the likelyhood of a stuck mag that could be pulled out with fingertips, but not by slamming it down on the mag with the release pushed in.
