I've had both and while the 19X is cool, I would rather have the G45 as well.

G45 is more betterer.

They are basically identical. Looks is a toss up. I love the 19x.

In true ARFCOM fashion, I got both.

You made a good decision. I have two 19x’s that I bought just for the FDE TLR-7’s but I wish they were both G45 MOS’s after buying one of those. I’ll probably keep one for a Roland build and send the other one down the road.

Wanted a 19X when they first came out. Then the G45 MOS hit the streets and it just made so much more sense to me. Glad I waited.

Quoted: G45 is more betterer. This Quoted: They are basically identical. Looks is a toss up. I love the 19x. For most things yea...but 19x won’t take gen 5 mags without mods and I don’t think has the marksman barrel like the gen 5. The model 45 is my duty gun by choice. Never shot anything but a perfect score on my quals with it. |

Never shot anything but a perfect score on my quals with it. I just threw earlier Gen baseplates on my Gen 5 mags. With all the people who add extended and aftermarket baseplates to their mags, you could put OEM baseplates on your Gen 5 mags nearly free. |

Never shot anything but a perfect score on my quals with it. It has the marksman barrel and you just need to swap mag baseplates or do a +2. Pretty cheap fix IMO. After trimming a Gen 5 baseplate, I decided +2 are quicker to install and mo better anyhow. |

I updated your other thread by linking it to this one with my latest post.
Hopefully the two with the "don't like what I don't want you to like" syndrome will stop. Maybe

I wanted a 19X for a long time, but after getting a G19 Gen 5, I've decided that I prefer forward serrations, so I'll be going with a G45 in the future. I know that some people don't care for the FS or don't need them, but I find them useful when dry firing - I don't do press checks, but I use the same process to reset the striker. I also like having them to avoid grabbing the slide around the RMR on an optic-equipped pistol. That one additional feature makes be prefer the G45 over the 19X. I do want a non-black Glock as "field" pistol, where the longer grip doesn't need to be concealed, and the 19-length slide fits in the Safariland holsters I already own, which is why I was looking at the 19X. Ideally, Glock will come out with an ODG G45 MOS for me, but I'll eventually get a black one if they don't.

The 19X is neat because of the color but other than that, the G45 wins for me hands down. I am not knocking the 19X but the magazine compatibility of standard mags with the 45 made my decision easier.

G45 is the correct answer.

I’m thinking I might head back to the gun shop on Saturday and buy the 19X as well. I haven’t gotten the approval for the G45 yet (thanks WA laws). But I do want to add an RMR quickly to it so we will see if I get the 19x or not.

I have no regrets with my 19x, wish it had front serrations like the 45 but it is what it is.. looking forward for it to return from battlewerx so I can throw the RMR HRS on it.

I’m all honesty, they’re pretty much the same damn gun
It’s just me looking for an excuse to buy another gun. “It’s all so tiring”

Gen 5 G45 has a flared mag well, G19X doesn't. This also results in the G45 being slightly (1mm) wider.
G19X has the overbite at the bottom of the front strap. G45 doesn't. G19X has the nPVD slide finish, 45 has the standard Gen 5 nDLC finish. G19X is coyote (NOT FDE) G19X uses maritime spring cups, G45 uses normal spring cups. G19X won't take "Gen 5" mags unless you swap the floor plates. G45 will. G19X has a removable lanyard loop, G45 doesn't . Current production Gen 5 G45 has front serrations, G19X doesn't. G19X comes with 2 19 round mags and 1 17 round mag. G45 comes with 3x G17 mags. G19X doesn't have the newer breech cut that the newer Gen 5 pistols like the G45 have (which aids in ejection) G45 is available in MOS 19X doesn't |

Went down and picked up the G45 today. They got in a shipment of Trijicon suppressor height night sights so I had them throw those on too.
Just need to order an RMR and a plate from FCD. |

Love my Glock 45 mos with the trijicon on it. Don't care for the short grip of the 19x, I'll give up printing a little for a full grip.

Ummmm... other than the lip on the front of the 19X aren't they the same grip? Same as a G17.
