"GK19" specs, listed in order of importance:
1. -Takes Glock magazines
2.-Glock 19 size (5" tall, 4" barrel, 15rd.)
3. Single Action trigger ala PPQ/VP9/CZP10
4. Timberwolf 2.0 style frame with removable, grip angle changing backstraps (Glock angle, CZ Angle, 1911 angle.)
5. Takes Glock sights
6. Comes with factory Orange dot / Black U notch sights
7. Improved grip texture ala Honor Defense
8. Integral 10mm urethane recoil buffer in the frame ala Sphinx SDP
Glock would still be #1 for many years due to inertia and market saturation.
But the GK19 would pretty much smother every other 9x19 polymer pistol on the market, making it the clear #2 pistol after the G19 pretty soon after introduction.
Glock mags have essentially become the AR Mag of 9x19 - multiple manufacturers, available everywhere. So being able to use Glock mags would be a huge boon for any Glock rival.
Had the CZP10C taken Glock 19 mags, it could have knocked out the VP9, PPQ, 509, and P320.
