Caught in the perplexing puzzle of the Glock 19 and Glock 19X barrels? Stick around. We've got your answer. Yes, the Glock Glock 19X do have the same barrel. However, there's so much more to know. Let's dive in, shall we?

Understanding the Glock 19 and Glock 19X

Introduced to the world in the late 80s, the Glock 19, a compact version of the Glock 17, instantly hit a home run. It's been, you might say, the 'Goldilocks' of handguns - just right.

It strikes an ideal balance between size, weight, and magazine capacity. But then came the Glock 19X, the crossover, in 2018. A blend of the Glock 17's full-size frame and the Glock 19's compact slide, it was an instant sensation. An odd mix, you might think, but a stroke of genius, we assure you.

Similar Barrels, Yet Different Glocks

Let's be clear. The barrels in both the Glock 19 and the 19X are identical - 4.02 inches long, polygonal rifling, designed for 9mm rounds. But don't let the shared barrels fool you; these siblings are unique, each a star in their own right.

Breaking Down the Differences

Now, onto what sets these two apart. Remember the Glock 19's compactness we talked about? With a shorter grip, it's easier to conceal, a secret ally in your holster.

However, its lower magazine capacity (15+1) might not sit well with everyone. On the flip side, the Glock 19X, with the full-size grip, feels like a firm handshake.

It can house more rounds (17+1 or 19+1), but concealing it becomes trickier. So, you see, it's not as simple as the barrels being the same.

Under the Hood: Trigger and Sights

They say the devil is in the details, and indeed it is. The Glock 19 comes with the standard Glock sights - durable, but maybe not everyone's cup of tea.

However, the 19X boasts night sights, a boon in low light conditions. Now, let's talk triggers. The Glock 19 has a steady, reliable pull - about 5.5 lbs. The 19X, you ask? It's no different. But remember, identical trigger pulls don't mean they feel the same, thanks to the different frames.

Setting You Back: Price

Ah, the million-dollar question, or should we say, the several hundred dollar question. The Glock 19, the seasoned player, sits at around $550.

The newer kid on the block, the 19X, costs a tad more, about $600. Worth it? We'll let you be the judge.

Which One's for You?

Here's the deal - the Glock 19 and the 19X, though similar, cater to different needs. If concealability ranks high on your list, the Glock 19 is your comrade. If you'd rather have more ammo and aren't too bothered about the size, the 19X awaits.

So, do the Glock 19 and the 19X have the same barrel? Yes. Does that make them identical? Absolutely not. These Glocks, similar as they might seem, are as unique as they come. So, which Glock will it be?
