Glock 19: Compact Shootout"},"content":{"rendered":"

When you hear Sig P365, you likely envision a subcompact, or micro-compact, a pistol designed to be a competitor with guns like the Glock 43. When the P365X Macro came to the field, it was no longer competing for the same slot as the Glock 43. The P365X Macro was competing with the world of compact pistols like the Sig P229, the PDP Compact, and the Glock 19. The Glock 19 has long been the king of the compact pistol.<\/p>\n

Compact pistols are designed to be the right mix of size for duty and home defense use while still being concealable. These pistols try to do it all and often can. The P365 is a genre-defining firearm that has completely changed the concealed carry market. Every gun company scrambled to compete. Now that it’s breaking into the compact realm, it makes sense for the Glock 19 and X Macro to go head to head to see if the X Macro can shake the crown off of the Glock 19.<\/p>\n

Let’s dig in, break it down, and see which comes out on top.<\/p>\n

Accuracy<\/h2>\n

As a compact handgun, you aren’t expecting anything crazy. The gun should be able to land hits on a torso-sized target out to 50 yards at the very least. Shooters should expect their guns to be accurate enough to hit score an all-black 10-10-10 drill. Both of these guns can do that and do it with style.<\/p>\n

The Glock 19 has a slight advantage with a slightly longer sight radius than the X Macro, but only fractionally. On the flip side, the X Macro has a noticeably better trigger than the Glock 19. The flat-faced trigger offers a much smoother trigger pull with less stacking. Ultimately it comes to a tie. You can shoot either weapon with competency and expect 9mm rounds to hit where you need them to.<\/p>\n

Ergonomics<\/h2>\n

Here is where we arrive at a massive difference between the guns. Pick up the X Macro and then pick up a Glock 19. What do you feel? The X Macro offers a vastly superior grip that’s thinner and more comfortable in your hand. You can get a higher grip on the gun without getting Glock-knuckle on the trigger guard.<\/p>\n

The grip width difference is extreme.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The X Macro magazine release is easier to press and easier to use due to the much thinner grip design. In terms of slide locks\/release, they both have teeny tiny designs. Both are pressed rearwards, and difficult to avoid pressing downward with an aggressive thumbs forward grip. Ultimately the P355X Macro outperforms the Glock 19 ergonomically.<\/p>\n

Reliability<\/h2>\n

In my experience, both guns perform exceptionally well. I’ve yet to have any problems with either gun in practice. However, the Glock 19<\/a> has been kicking around for decades, and it’s remained a top-tier pistol selection because Glocks are reliable. Glock set a new standard for reliability, and that needs to be factored in. Glock makes reliable guns, and the 19 hasn’t changed dynamically.<\/p>\n

The X Macro and P365 series are also very reliable guns, but they don’t have the same history of reliability that follows the Glock 19 around.
