I own both, you can't go wrong with either one. The Glock has the longer track record, the HK VP9 is still relatively new but with HK's reputation, I don't expect any major issues to come up.

Just pick the one that feels best to you. If they both feel good and you have a hard time deciding, then you could always buy both.

My vote is for the VP9 due to ergonomics and the fact that it’s MUCH more fun to shoot (for me, at least). I can definitely appreciate Glocks for what they are, though.

Gen5 mags.

K, thanks.
Is 17 round mag that comes with the 19x Gen4, or it has some special base plate?

Have both and they are solid guns. If for can use, the VP9T for obvious reasons.

I took your advice bought both.

I have the G19X. It's really no different to me than a G17. The slide is a bit shorter; that's about it. It uses any of my G17 mags; they all have Vickers baseplates.

I don't find the Gen 5 frame to be any significant improvement over the Gen 3 or 4, personally. It's comfortable, but feels and shoots like any other Glock.
