Is the G49 a G19 with a G17 slide?
Browsing the Glock & Glock clone options.

You are correct Sir.

Glock 49 - Glockstore

The Glock 49 looks weird/unwieldy to my eye but in hand it handles quite well.

It seems like what I'd been intending to try with my P320, and put a FS slide on a C lower.

Will have to see if anyone local has one to check out & compare to a 19

My crystal ball says there will be a run on 19x's in the near future.

Pass, I'd have a regular 19 or the 49 over the 19X.

The FS grip, compact slide does nothing for me, personally.

If you haven’t try shooting a 45/19x. They really shoot well. Something about that full size grip combined with the speed of return of the smaller slide really makes them one of the better shooting Glocks IMO.

Yeah, I thought it was stupid until I handled and shot one. I really, really like the G45.

I posted this in the “Go shoot a match!” thread, but hey, may as well share my cancer Glocks in this thread as well.



To my utter surprise, I was shooting better groups both from a rest to zero the optic and offhand with the G45 yesterday. Same GPT trigger in both guns. I cannot explain it.

I felt the same way about the long grip/short slide combo of the G19X/G45, until I shot one.

For duty, open carry, wintertime carry, or home defense purposes, I think they're ideal. Better than the G17 and the G19.

The G19 just wins by a nose (or a butt) for concealability purposes specifically.

99% for me is IWB CC.
So the extra length of the 17 grip I think would potentially print a lot worse.

Yea, I sold the 19 it was superfluous and not as good as the G45. If I need a summer carry, the G48/43x is it over the 19.
My comment about a bunch of 19x's in the crystal ball, was in reference to a .mil transition.
