The same appeal as a commander sized 1911 vs a 5 inch . Im sure a lot of folks would love a 19 frame with the 17 slide .
If you have either of those, you should just buy the other, then you'll have the maximum number of combinations from the top and bottom ends. If you have both, then you already have what they're going to introduce, you just haven't assembled it yet.
Not with the Glocks.
Until the Gen5 series pistols, the G19's and the G17's have had dimensional differences and were not completely interchangeable. Locking blocks and barrels are different between the models to be specific.
There are issues with slide overhang using a Gen5 G17 on a Gen5 G19 frame. Vice-versa is a no-go.
The 19X is unique! Will be great in duty holsters and OWB in vehicle carry.
