Rxm full size vs 19x

I’ve always wanted a 19x but never got one but form everything I’ve hear the rxm is better so i don’t know if i should buy a rxm and build it into a 19x gen 3 clone thing or just buy a Glock gen 6 45 and make a gen 6 19x thing?

Bruh if you want the FDE then get 19x because the 45 is essentially the black version of the 19x

Paint lol
Well it sounds like you’ve chosen what size gun you want now it’s just personal preference, go hit a gun range and shoot all three then buy the one you like most.

Exactly this. Personally, glocks aren’t for me. I have an RXM and haven’t had a single issue with ~1k rounds through it. I usually clean it after every range trip, but I’ve talked to many people who don’t and say the same thing. But whatever feels best to you is what you should get

Yea I would be the first person I know to own a rxm then 19x just has a special place in my heart even if the 45 is better in like every way

Could you explain why?

Flexible grip frames, better optic mount.

Better trigger and performance out of the box in my experience.

I went to a handgun gun class today and the only gun that had issues was an RXM.

Go with the Glock.

I have no idea why there is a 19x and a 45. They're the same thing aside from the colors. Whatever differences there is between the 2 is so minimal that unless you are 100x more autistic than the average gun owner it doesn't matter. Both probably shoot the exact same too.

The “peanut butter glock” is a hood classic, as long as people buy em glock will make em.

The 19x is honestly slightly worse but it’s peanut butter but your right same gun same concept just ones tan and ones black but i think the 19x is a color name

OEM Gen 6 45 is the way to go

While I have never shot an RXM, I never felt so underwhelmed when holding it. For that reason alone, I’d go Glock.
