Great video, I have and carry the 19x (retired army mp/SRT/combat vet). The magwell lip protects the magazine when getting in or out of a vehicle, especially tactical vehicles. Constant impacts on the lower front portion of magazine will shorten the lifespan of the mag release and accidental mag drops may occur. Lanyard loop makes perfect sense to infantrymen and MP’s and protects the rear edge of the magazine from impacts. The 19x is the same height/length as the 1911 commander, width is slightly wider, so it carry’s like a 1911 commander, perfect. As to the 3/7 comment, the 19x is IMO the most acceptable service pistol (duty/defense) for the reasons he stated to include repair-ability, shoot-ability, and after market support, lights, lasers, sights. I agree that the internals should stay as designed and those parts are very inexpensive and durable. The 45 has better Barbie features and dresses up nicer, however, LEO might want the hated mag lip to protect the internal mag release from impacts with the female connector on the seatbelt. IMO, the Service pistol winner is the 19x for the reasons listed above which most people dislike. For home defense and range time, the 45 is an acceptable handgun. Wether someone needs a red dot is up to them but the 19x can still be milled.

One thing you failed to mention whether you knew this or are just finding out is the Glock 19X came with Maritime Spring Cups. Maritime Spring Cups are your answer if water, oil, or debris get inside your Glock firing pin channel, it will still function and fire. Maritime Spring Cups come in a set of two, one for each side. It cups the striker and captures the striker spring. This feature enables your Glock to fire after it's been underwater and in extreme hostile environmental conditions. This allows your Glock to immediately fire if it has been in the water without having to field strip it. Personally I own the G19X and I love it but also the fact it was entered into combat trials and passed which adds the cool factor if you like that kind of thing. That said I love the added features of the G45. From the beveled magwell, to the mos plate. I am hit or miss on the front slide serrations because while they allow you to press check easier they can also tenderize your thumb if you ride the slide, they also scrap off bits of kydex holsters and make a zipper sound when drawing from said kydex holster. I have the 17 FS which has them. At the end of the day they are the same package with different feature sets for different environments. Seals work in and around water so the Lanyard loop, the maritime spring cups could make all the difference in the world to them versus a civilian carrying for personal protection and the range. Either way I will probably add a G45 to my collection. Good video have a good day.

The other difference is the 45 has cocking serrations and the 19x doesn’t. I’ve liked the serrations on handguns for a while. I’ve had them cut into most of my 1911’s. I couldn’t decide on which one really was a better value so I bought both. Normally I’m not in the $ position to do that but am purging many of my Sigs and going with glocks now.

I own both guns. From what I was told about the non flared magwell on the 19X. It had to do with trying to keep the gun more sealed up for military use. Plus I was also told that the 19X comes factory with the maritime spring cups. I also found out that the 19X weighs 1.9oz's more than the G45. not sure why 19X lower polymer part weighs .2oz's more. I know what that's from. 19X slide with spring and guide rod and barrel removed weighs 1.7oz's more than the G45 slide. I don't know why that is. Maybe that extra weight has something to do with it, but I can hold a tighter group with the 19X.

I was in the Special Forces in the 1980’s and I agree with all of your points. The G45 is more versatile than the 19X, but I just want to point out a slight error. I like Jason Pike and Chadd from 3 of 7, I’ve got a few issues with Chadd but in his video he didn’t say the 19X is more versatile than the G45. When he said Durability, Reliability and versatility he was talking about all the Glocks he had on table. Among them the 19x is his favorite but he did not say which of the weapons on the table was the most versatile. But you are absolutely right. The G45 is more versatile than the 19X for the reasons you stated. One thing he did say he liked about the 19X is the lanyard loop to prevent loss of weapon, which I like too. Just pointing these out. Thanks for the great analysis. Great points.

Understanding why the 19X Magwell is designed the way it is, its not for me. Being retired Infantry I have had my fare share of smacking a lanyard loop into the palm of my hand during intense reloads. The G45 is newer, easier to add a Magwell to it as I have done to mine, however for either one regardless of which one you own you can always purchase the Dovedot and add an optic which is exactly what I am doing to my G45 as I did not purchase the MOS version. I think all things considering, at least in my opinion, the G45 is the better pistol taking all things into consideration. I actually carry my G45 and enjoy its reliability, and completely agree with not doing any internal upgrades to your carry gun. Magwell for faster/easier reloading, Dovedot to add an Optic which will also change out your front sight, win win in my opinion. The approximately 5.5 lb trigger is easy enough to rapidly engage a target, but heavy enough for peace of mind for conceal carry. I will say that I love the Coyote Brown color of the 19X and still want to buy one, but it would never replace my G45 for carry. I own multiple Glock's and the G45 is my favorite. And my Magwell I added keeps the magazine and frame safe from that pesky seatbelt connector.

Thank you for that detail comparison! I suspect the 19x notched magwell was to receive a tighter fit of a magazine design that was probably scrapped because it wouldn't seat in the 45. With regard to the grooved frame, there are times when a type 3 occurs and you cannot wedge your fingers in such to force the magazine out. Whether you groove the underside of the grip or leave some material on the base plate, something is needed to allow for force to strip the magazine, or force the slide open in the alternative.

The 19x when lost the military contract police agency loved the 19x but obviously the gun needed to be black. So Glock went back to drawing board and the G45 was born. The original 19x is different than civilian version. The army 19x sported an external safety. So the civilian version they got rid of it. Glock recouped 💰 on civilian version. And made bank on the G-45 it’s a great shooter. The 19x will accept all Gen 5 parts. I own both and I love them.

My dad has a G45 and I like it, but I don't like it any more than I like the G17. I am still a G19 guy. I 3D print TPU sleeves for G17 mags to fit in my G19 and boom, I have a G45. The grip shape is a little different than a G45 doing it that way, but the 19 is just a perfect natural pointer for me. I don't even need to aim the G19. I just point and it's automatically aimed. Glock models, I think, is always personal preference based on the shape & size of people's hands and what fits their hand. All Glocks are reliable and durable. All are accurate. For me the G43 sucks, but the 43X is awesome.

I had a 19x and G45 on the counter at the gun shop. Bought the 19x. If I had the got the 45 I would still have it. I got the 19x and grew to hate the color. I'm shallow I guess. As for the G45 and gen 5. The G42 and 43 were the first versions of gen 5. Had many of the Gen 5 changes internally. The 19x is also mechanically a gen 5. The 45 came out for law enforcement only after the 19x was made and they saw it. I believe that is why it never had a Gen 5 stamp.

Lots of rounds, no issues at all. That said, I don't do drops onto concrete ( like Sage Dynamics does) to prove my optics, and the SRO isn't ruggedized to the same degree as the RMR.
