Our Glock LE rep showed up at the range while we were training today. I asked him about a black version of the 19X. He said there are 3 large police agencies that have committed to buying the 19X (and going away from Smith and Sig) if Glock will do them in black, so it looks that will happen.
He said he had not heard if the black version would be released to the public. He said that Glock had quit telling the sales reps about new products far in advance due to some guys running their mouths before the 41 and 42 were officially introduced.
