New Glock

People are funny about taking a Dremel to their Glocks, they say it hurts the collector value or something.
People asked for a G19L for a while...and what does Glock do? Give us exactly the oppisite...a G17S.
I think differently. I think Glock loves their fanbase, and the love is mutual. For example, Glock could release a Glock 19 this year without the front grip mag cutout, put a fiber optic front sight, and call it G19 Gen 6 and the fans would eat it up. Then you'd hear about how Glock innovated the polymer pistols from their rabid fanbase, and they would mock anyone bashing Glock. At this rate, it will take 30 years for Glock to catch up to current pistols in terms of innovation and features. And I'm not bashing Glock. I think they're fine pistols.
The sad part is that they are still contesting it. Just like they did when S&W got the contract with Atlanta PD, and I'm sure they've done it countless other times with other departments as well. They are sore losers and can't take no for an answer.
i mean the contesting it doesn't really surprise me when your talking about a contract of that size. i just laugh as i imagine thats exactly why they came out with the 19x, had all of those plans and then poof, gotta come up with some sort of answer lol.
I'm so glad I found this thread: I was starting to think I was the only one on the interwebz who actually thinks that the G19X is dumber than dogshit. I think that Glock invented two things this month: the goofiest idea they've come up with since the .45 GAP and people who say that the G19's grip isn't long enough. Here's a radical idea: put a G17 magazine into the G19. Boom, managed.
Also, here's another vote for a G19L. At this point, I kinda hope that S&W makes a G19L-sized version of the M&P and creates legions of Glock customers who switch to S&W because S&W made the product that Glock was urged to make by their customers for years and years but refused to. Maybe between that gun and the Shield, Glock would start listening to people who want to give them their hard-earned money in exchange for something that they'd actually want.

Yeah, but you can always carry a G17 mag as a backup, which I think most people who carry a 19 do anyways.
i kind of chuckle at the idea of needing the sight radius increase to make precision shots with a ccw.
but then again, i'm not totally dismissing it because i don't carry.
i like the g17 sized grip because my pinky hangs off the end of the 19. i traded my 19 for a 17 for this reason. the 17 mag in the 19 doesn't really do anything for me - still feels awkward.
to me the g19x and the g17 are about the same. if i was looking for a gen 5 17 and the 19x was the same price, i might consider it.
