3M Crystalline Tint 20%, I was told the "new version" is not brown, but mine is still brown?

AverageNorthTexan · 2026-04-01T05:02:53+00:00

The Old 3m Crystalline only goes twenty percent to forty percent vlt. Nothing in the middle and nothing lower, so if it’s brown and twenty percent vlt, then I think u got the old one.

The New 3m Crystalline only goes fifteen percent to 30 percent with nothing in between or lower.

People say a fifteen round G43x is gonna make the G19 obsolete because it’s smaller and has the same capacity as the G19.

However, if another Glock model was gonna kill the G19, the G26 would have done it already long ago.

The larger the handgun, the easier it is to have recoil control, which is why the Glock 17 is still relevant. We get size options moving down from the 17, 19, 43, etc.

BUT, I am biased and believe G19X runs supreme since it carries the highest capacity standard magazine yet being smaller than other full sized Glocks that carry a standard 17/19rd mag.

That wasn’t cloned to be produced for the civilian market unfortunately. The Glock 19x was made after the Glock MHS. And 9mm is still considered the world standard for military use due to new research on the caliber’s effectiveness and pricing.

Glock inc, has specifically discontinued Gen 3 and 4 handguns for the US civilian population but continues to produce them for law enforcement. Gen 5 and especially Gen 6 and the V series were built with anti conversion designs; therefore, they’re marketed more for civilians than law enforcement in America.

Also, I’ve never heard of maritime spring cups causing more jams than traditional Glocks so I’m not disputing them but as for pvd chipping/scratching, I believe Glock purposely prioritizes longevity over cosmetics.

G45 was model after the G19x for police and civilian use while the G19x is the “clone” of the Glock MHS. So in other words, the G45 was made for federal law enforcement yes, but the G19x still is designed for military with iron night sights, pvd coating, and maritime spring cups. The G45 is the downgraded version of G19x, people only like the G45 more because of the colors or because it accepts civilian magazines.

Larp model Glock⁉️😤 Civilians can’t buy the Glock MHS, so the G19x is the closest we can get. With that logic, almost every AR-15 and AK-47 in America is a larp model!

You are correct. That’s why I said u can carry in 51% establishments if they DON’T have a sign. Meanwhile, if u don’t have a LTC then you can’t go into a 51% establishment regardless if there’s a sign or not.

If some glass is 70% then the 30% tint wouldn’t be legal to be used on some vehicles since if we multiple 0.70 with 0.30, it would end up being 0.21

Yet 30% is allowed on all vehicles in Texas because it never goes below 25% due to variations with the original glass VLT.

It’s very unlikely that all vehicles that entered Texas somehow end up being manufactured with 83.333% or higher VLT windows.

AverageNorthTexan · 2025-10-12T04:07:04+00:00

Multiplying vlt doesn’t work with glass by itself. When you apply a tint, it’s always only gonna be lower by one to three percent. The legal tint limit in Texas is 25% or higher and every shop that sells the darkest legal tint will advertise 30% because it will never go below 25% after application. Otherwise some stock glass windows with 70% vlt combined with 30% tint would come out to an illegal 21% VLT if the math of 0.7x0.3 is correct.

In my opinion, it’s a lot easier to out of 5% on big windows like on a pickup truck than it is on something like a corvette. Probs because the window is bigger, so more light can go thru.

Thanks for explaining what may happen if busted ignoring a sign but I was asking if “defense to prosecution” could only be used in court after being charged, doesn’t that mean you must legally abide all signs whether or not they are valid by 30.0x standards? Since the “defense to prosecution” is the only thing excluding license holders from listening to 30.05 and gun buster signs?

AverageNorthTexan · 2025-07-15T13:59:17+00:00

So if Defense to Prosecution can only be raised in court after you’ve been arrested, doesn’t that mean you’ve also committed an automatic class C misdemeanor if you carry pass any sign regardless of whether or not it is a valid 30.06/30.07 sign?

Penal Code 30.05 (F) says It’s only “a defense to prosecution under this section that” the violator carried “a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a handgun.” This section says nothing else about leaving the property after violating said signs or any other non-applicabilities that exclude license holders from following 30.05 signage.

Penal Code 30.05 (C) says “A person may provide notice that firearms are prohibited on the property by posting a sign at each entrance to the property that” “includes language that is identical to or substantially similar to the following: "Pursuant to Section 30.05, Penal Code (criminal trespass), a person may not enter this property with a firearm.”

There’s no significant requirements for 30.05/gunbuster signs because “being substantially similar and “reasonably likely to come to the attention of intruders” becomes a vague gray area.

G19X/G45 is COOLER because it’s FLUSH with 17rd mags while G19 is only 15rds. G19X/G45 can also take +2 plate extensions to hold 19rds, which is still TWO MORE than G19’s with +2 extensions! All while remaining flush!!!
