You don't need the longer grip of the 19x to run G17 mags. The longer grip of the 19X makes concealing more difficult, IMO. YMMV.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 9:35 amThanks! Compatibility with existing Glock G17 magazines is definitely a requirement since I want to be able to use the same mags in my Ruger PC Carbine.

I don’t have a Glock 19X, but I do have a Glock 45. I have zero problem concealing it, but I also have more real estate that most people to conceal a pistol .

I have had many G19's and always go back to my Gen 2 every time don't think I can beat it. Daily carry is a 2nd Gen 32 so same size.
