About This Firearm
The Glock G19 V is a compact striker-fired 9mm built for concealed carry and home defense. The V pistols have no optic system, so this is the iron-sight compact in the current line while the Gen6 models carry the dot mounts.
An nDLC-finished slide with front serrations sits over a 4.02-inch Glock Marksman Barrel, the magazine holds 15 rounds, and the pistol weighs 23.63 oz with an empty magazine. The frame has no finger grooves and interchangeable backstraps, so grip circumference is set with parts in the box. The magazine catch can be moved to the other side of the frame and the slide stop lever is ambidextrous. The trigger weighs 5.8 lbs, there is no manual safety, and a single flush magazine comes with it.
If you're cross-shopping, the Glock G19 Gen6 is the same size, 1.05 oz lighter, and arrives with three optic plates and the reshaped grip. A Ruger RXM has an MSRP of $539, holds the same capacity at 23.2 oz, and mounts RMR, DeltaPoint Pro and RMSc dots straight to the slide behind co-witness steel sights with a tritium front, so it covers the ground this Glock leaves out.

Strengths & Limitations
- The nDLC finish is the current Glock treatment, rated for hardness and rust resistance on a pistol carried against the body.
- The slide runs on hardened steel guides inside the polymer frame, and those guides take the wear.
- With no finger grooves, a hand of any size can get a straight trigger finger onto the face of the trigger.
- A red dot means paying for slide work or buying the Gen6 instead.
- It weighs more than the Gen6 version of the same pistol and does less with the weight.
- A single magazine comes in the box, against three in the Gen5 sets, so spares are a day-one purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a manual-safety version?
No. The Safe Action system's three passive safeties are all the pistol has, and they release in order as the trigger moves.
Can it use larger magazines?
Yes. Glock catalogs four larger optional sizes alongside the standard flush magazine, so a range magazine and a carry magazine come from the same list.
What comes in the box?
A flush magazine, the interchangeable backstraps and a lockable case, with no optic plates and no speed loader.
Where is it made?
Austria.
