Special Thanx to Mr. Sturmgewehre for pointing out this gun to me via his YouTube range-report video's. I just got this in today, installed my magwell, and have yet to shoot it so I figured I might as well play around with the camera. I'll range-report it as soon as time allows.

Since I'm not a rich man by any means, I went ahead and ordered up an Advantage Arms .22 conversion for it today. That outta be a hoot. Maybe I can afford to shoot a little now. :cool:

John, any relation to Clint? Lol. Only kidding. Nice glock. Thanks for sharing. Also.excuse my ignorance but is that the base plate that says glock masters? And is it removable from the magazine? Sorry don't know ANYTHING about glocks.

[John Eastwood]

Thanks. ;) The Glockmeister magwell is not attached to the magazine. It's attached to the gun by a setscrew on the back of the frame. You also need the aftermarket grip plug inserted into the bottom of the frame. The magwell stays on the gun and has nothing to do with the mags.

Here's a good pic of what it looks like off the gun:

Oh ok... I feel like an idiot. Lol. Thanks for the info. I learn something new everyday.

I fired off about 50 rounds today from 10 yards standing. I'd like to shoot at least 300 rounds at a time but time is limited. I shot a mixture of Winchester White Box, Hydra-Shock, Hornady Critical Defense, and some homemade +P reloads. The point was just to verify function. No issues and she shoots; it's a keeper.

First 5 rounds with Hornady Critical Defense:

Next 45 or so. Got a little wild with a few low/left/doubletaps. Other than that she groups good. I always shoot a tad left with Glocks.

Congrats, great pistol.

It's my daily carry gun now. I really like it.

Congrats on a real nice Glock. I've seen a 19 and 17 recently looked great.:cool:

Congrats that's one nice looking G-19 :)

[MidwestRookie]

looks awesome! love that magwell...if i owned a glock it'd be a 19 just like yours, or a 34...thanks for posting.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is an EXO model and who is producing it? Does that just refer to some sort of finish or is there more to it than that? Thanks.

[10mm4ever]

I doubt the "Exo" finish is much different than Robar's NP3 and I doubt that either adds any real benefit to the Tenifer treatment applied at the factory. Sure sounds cool though, doesnt it,lol!

The benefit to me is that they only made a small run of these guns. They no longer offer this finish on send-in weapons. I wanted a G-19 regardless, but something a little bit different, and some sort of limited edition of a very common gun.

There's not much to be improved upon with any Glock platform but maybe it could be worth more in the future because Talo only made these in limited numbers. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it. ;)

Now that I'm buying 525 rounds of Remington Golden Bullets in .22LR for $23, I've been shooting the hell out of this thing. There's nothing like shooting the same gun, with the same trigger and same sights, for 25% of the cost. This is too much fun...
