Description
The GLOCK 19X (V) 9MM 19RD GNS COMM is a factory-crossover pistol that blends the full-size GLOCK 17 frame with the compact GLOCK 19 slide, chambered in 9mm. It ships with three 19-round magazines and factory-installed GLOCK Night Sights (GNS). This is the commercial version of the pistol GLOCK submitted for the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System trials, now available to civilian and law enforcement buyers.

Key Features
- GLOCK Night Sights (GNS): Factory-installed tritium sights provide a clear aiming point in low-light conditions, so you stay on target when visibility drops.
- 19-Round Factory Magazines (3 included): Extended capacity gives you 19+1 rounds on tap, reducing reload frequency during range sessions or defensive use.
- nDLC Slide Finish: The non-reflective diamond-like carbon coating resists corrosion and holster wear, keeping the slide functional and low-visibility.
- GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB): Enhanced barrel rifling and crown improve accuracy over previous GLOCK barrels, delivering tighter groups at distance.
- Ambidextrous Slide Stop: Left-handed shooters get the same positive slide release as right-handed users, no aftermarket parts needed.
Who It’s For
This pistol fits shooters who want the grip length and capacity of a full-size duty gun but prefer a shorter slide for faster draw and easier concealment. It works for law enforcement, competition shooters in Carry Optics divisions, and civilians looking for a high-capacity home-defense handgun that still carries well under a jacket or OWB holster.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory night sights save you $80–120 over aftermarket installs.
- Pro: Three 19-round magazines offer high capacity straight from the box.
- Con: The full-size grip may print more under light clothing compared to a GLOCK 19 or 43X — consider a quality holster and cover garment.

FAQ
Does the GLOCK 19X (V) 9MM 19RD GNS COMM come with a threaded barrel?
No, this model ships with a standard GLOCK Marksman Barrel (non-threaded). If you need a threaded option for a suppressor, look at the GLOCK 19X MOS or aftermarket barrel.
Can I use GLOCK 19 Gen5 magazines in the 19X?
Yes. The 19X accepts all GLOCK 19 Gen5 magazines (15-round) and GLOCK 17 magazines (17-round). The included 19-round mags are GLOCK 17-length with a +2 extension.
Is the 19X optics-ready?
This commercial version (V) does not have an MOS cut. You will need to send the slide to a milling service or replace the slide for a red dot. GLOCK also sells a 19X MOS version separately.
What holsters fit the 19X?
Most GLOCK 19 Gen5 holsters work, but the longer grip may cause fit issues in some compact holsters. Look for holsters specifically listed for the GLOCK 19X or GLOCK 17/19 combo.
Does the 19X have a loaded chamber indicator?
Yes, the 19X includes a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) on the extractor, plus a visible witness hole in the barrel hood per GLOCK Gen5 design.
