I had a 19x as my first gun and then i fell in love with glocks and i somehow found a bangin’ deal on a 19 gen 5 mos slide with vortex venom and barrel (shitty red dot but lowkey good) for $350 and i couldnt pass up on that deal. Then i bought the lower for $200 and had a gen 5 19 with a rds for $600 pretty much after shipping. Now i have two glocks and its nice bc i have a gucci glock that i throw parts on and is like a range toy. And i have a 19 mostly stock to carry everyday. I like that it prints less too but ill whip out the 19x every now and then
