I'm looking for a 19X weighted grip plug. I just want to mess around with weight in various positions and seeing how it impacts things. Seattle Slug seems to be only gen 3 or earlier. Anyone aware of something similar that might work? Can a seattle slug be made to work with a little machining?
I bought Carver gen 4 G17 brass plug and removed a bunch of metal to be compliant with carry optics rules with my 19x

Thanks for the response. So just the gen 4 G17 brass plug and omitting the carver magwell? That fit the 19X just fine? What's the weight of the plug alone?Originally Posted by YVK
Trolling for info. Looking to add weight to a 34.
Yes and yes. I never weighed it since it didn't particularly matter: I would've installed it regardless. For intended purposes any extra weight was better than nothing. Besides, I had to remove a good chunk. I'd guess final result was around 1.5 oz maybe. I also removed some material to accept backstraps if I need it to. The end point was that with a Carver plug, a brass Taylor Freelance mag extension, and tungsten guide rod my Glock 19x is about 33 oz unloaded.

I bought a Gen 4 "Thug Plug" for my Gen 5 19. Fit seems to be perfect.
Part no. is T1519-D. Plug is brass with black oxide coating. I'll need to weigh it but it feels like 2-3 ounces.

I have also installed the thug plug for my Gen5 19x and agree that it is a perfect fit. You would choose the plug for the Gen 4 GLock 17 to fit the longer grip on the 19X. I would locktite the threads of the screw because on one of my plugs, the screw worked itself out during practice and luckily I was able to find the screw and the plug again.
Thanks. I forgot to add, I used some Blue Loctite on the threaded screw.
