I picked mine up a few days ago.
Does everyone’s 19x have a 6.1mm rear sight?
JR1572
Found it difficult to measure with the sight in the slide but I got something like 6.13 or maybe more. True POA/POI out to 25.
I haven't done any extended reviews lately so I feel like I am slacking and not contributing. To rectify this, I am posting this in-depth review.
Kick ass gun.
This completes my in-depth review. I think I am ready for a Youtube channel or at least a blog.
Small print notes:
Out of box, fully stock, 3/5 rounds at 25 yards touching each other just left of the center of a 3 x 5 card. But I messed up the remaining trigger presses so no humblebragging one inch / 25 yards group. Very little doubt that the gun is capable of it with somebody who knows how to shoot. Cycles and tracks great, on a Bill Drill visual perception was that the sight never left that 8 inch circle. Gun is easier to control than Gen4 19 with a G17 mag in, and accuracy in my hands is the same between the two even though Gen4 has much lighter - connector/5 lbs striker spring trigger setup. Stock trigger weight is under 5.6 on mine. Tried four different connectors in dry fire and left the OEM in. Totally carry worthy out of box. Now I really want to shoot that commercial M17, just to prove my suspicion that the Army blew this selection process.
Also, I have very little to do with Glocks. I don't shoot them much, don't dry fire and don't complete. I carry a 43 at times. File this report under Glock hobbyist's blah blah

I picked up my 19X this morning. Initial observations are that it is, indeed, a Glock. Fit and finish are as expected; I will note that the nPVD finish left a very, very cool coloration effect on the inside of the slide that I haven't seen mentioned before (although I'm sure it has been). Mounted a set of Trijicon HDs without issue (thanks to the always wonderful MGW rear sight tool).
Of note: the backstraps didn't want to seat properly -- as in none of them wanted to seat properly -- maybe interference from the lanyard loop? I eventually managed to get one seated following about 20 minutes of cursing, a few scratches in the polymer, a scramble around the basement to find where the trigger group pin launched itself off to, and some blood.
Here's a shot of the inside of the slide -- pretty cool if nothing else.
