Best Glock 19X Accessories For 2024

The newest Glock release is a hot success and many have added one to their collection even if they already own a few Glocks.

This has led us to do a deep dive to help find you the best Glock 19X accessories on the market in 2024.

One of the first things we do after purchasing a Glock or any other gun is seek out all of the most relevant, must-have accessories for it.

Even if you already own more than one Glock, you likely don’t want to strip away the accessories you already bought for those Glocks unless you no longer plan on using them in your EDC rotation.

Whatever the case may be, you’ve found your way here so let us lend you our expertise and experience upgrading Glocks over the years and point you toward the accessories and tools that we’ve found are the best value and “bang for the buck“.

The first category of accessories is one of the best investments you can make for home and self-defense applications- Weapon lights.

Best Glock 19X Weapon Lights

Using a mountable pistol light on a Glock 19X for defensive purposes can provide several benefits.

One of the main benefits is that it allows for quick and easy target identification in low-light situations, reducing the chance of friendly fire.

Additionally, a mountable light can also be used to disorient an attacker and can be easily activated with the support hand without having to fumble for a handheld light.

However, one downside of using a mountable light on a pistol is that it can add extra weight and bulk to the weapon.

Whether or not you choose to take advantage of the rail on your Glock 19X is up to you.

We recommend doing so and some of our top picks are very budget-minded.

Below is a short list of our favorite picks based on our experiences as well as excellent price-to-performance metrics:

#1 Streamlight TLR-7

The Streamlight TLR-7 is one of our favorite go-to recommendations for those seeking a high-value budget option that’s always reliable and low-profile enough to find holsters for.

Rated at 500 lumens, it’s bright enough to illuminate any low-light environment and should do a good job blinding and temporarily stunning any would-be attacker in a dark alley.

It also provides 1.5 hours of continuous run time from a single lithium battery, which should meet or exceed the needs of most people.

#2 Streamlight TLR-8AG Flex

With the discontinuation of the popular Streamlight TLR-8, many awaited the successor with bated breath- introducing the much more flexible TLR-8AG Flex!

One of the standout features of this light is its flexibility. The TLR-8AG Flex can be used on a variety of handguns (including the Glock 19X), and it has a rail grip clamp system that makes it easy to attach and remove from your pistol.

Additionally, the light is durable and waterproof, making it suitable for use in any weather condition.

#3 OLIGHT Baldr Mini

Olight is one of our favorite brands for weapon lights with their value-packed rechargeable LED/Laser combos that are very compact and feature a solid QD mount for quick and easy installation or removal.

If you want the same design and form factor as the Olight Baldr Mini but want to save a few bucks by ditching the laser, you can get the rechargeable Olight PL-Mini 2 Valkerie instead:

If you’re looking for the brightest Olight you can buy, the Baldr S with a green or blue laser module is the way to go:

The Baldr Mini is a great addition to their awesome lineup of high-quality and affordable weapon lights.

They mount perfectly on all of our Glocks and the laser sight is a good addition to the 19X iron sights and holds zero well enough for close-quarter encounters where seconds can mean the difference between life and death.

They’re also extremely reliable and durable with excellent battery life. 600 lumens is enough to meet most people’s needs and will easily light up a dark room or backyard allowing you to quickly identify any threat from a safe distance.

The green laser emits a strong clear beam that can be seen on a target in broad daylight. You can opt for the red laser if green isn’t to your liking and put those savings towards other accessories.

#4 OLIGHT Baldr Pro R

If you’re wanting stronger illumination, you’ll have to ditch the more compact models and opt for this Olight Baldr Pro which gives you a very powerful 1,350 Lumens of white light.

This brings the price up a bit but it still includes a powerful green laser sight that is an integral design that adds the ability to quickly place shots accurately once zeroed.

This model also has a QD mount that fits the Glock 19X like a glove and matches the Coyote frame and slide pretty well.

Most of the weapon lights on this list have desert color options that can add a bit more to the overall cost, but not by much.

We highly recommend the Baldr Pro with its built-in rechargeable battery and durable construction as many others will attest to.

#5 SureFire X300 Ultra

No weapons light recommendation list would be complete without a sweet offering from Surefire! The X300 Ultra series is Surefire’s best budget entry into this space and deserves high praise for its efforts.

We love the fit and function of this weapon light on our Glocks with plenty of aftermarket holster support.

It’s one of the best EDC options in this price tier and provides more than enough illumination for just about any low-light environment you can think of.

They even upgraded the lumens on this entry-level model from 600 to 1000 without increasing the price!

We love their mounting system with its quick mount and detach system that holds solid on any rail you mount it on. You really can’t go wrong with Surefire- they know their stuff!

We thought it might be a good idea to throw in a dedicated laser sight system for those looking for a compact laser solution without the added bulk of an LED/Laser sight combo (like some of the ones that made our list).

This is also a good option for those who don’t plan on adding a red dot sight to their Glock 19X by using aftermarket slides or adapter plates.

#5 Crimson Trace Rail Master Laser

The Crimson Trace universal pistol rail mount system is one of the most highly rated laser sighting systems on the market at a reasonable price for the performance you’re getting out of this tiny, well-made unit.

We recommend that every self-defense-minded individual takes advantage of the rail space on their Glock 19X, especially when concealed carrying at night.

It doesn’t add hardly any discernable weight to the front of the pistol so there’s no penalty for having one of these bad boys mounted on the rail.

It comes in handy in high-adrenaline situations where every second matters and having the time to find your sights- or red dot- is a luxury you don’t have!

Next up on our best Glock 19X accessories list are holsters!

Best Glock 19X Holsters

It can be hard to find a good holster to fit your Glock 19X especially when it comes to the pistol light options out there.

Many Kydex holsters are brand and model-specific so found a few of our favorites that are compatible with some of our weapon light recommendations.

The stock Glock 19X doesn’t have an optics cut, however, many of our holster recommendations are cut to allow room for a red dot which will leave that option open should you ever decide to add a custom slide or a rear sight adapter to accept optics.

#1 IWB Holster For Glock 19

This affordable molded polymer tactical light holster was designed specifically for the Olight PL Mini 2 Valkyrie that we recommended above.

Retention is on the weapon light and not the trigger guard so the tension screws will affect the friction on the light and not any other part of the Glock 19X.

This is a great choice if you’re looking for a holster that is sealed around your barrel and not one that allows threaded barrels such as some open barrel designs.

This is a basic “no frills” holster that will accommodate your Olight Valkyrie with the option to choose a red dot cutout or not.

#2 FDO Paladin IWB Kydex Holster

If you’re looking for a holster with the most compact footprint and don’t plan on running a weapon light on your Glock 19X, then this FDO Industries holster is a really good option for the money.

Having a clever claw designed to lessen the printing of your weapon through a T-shirt is a nice feature that is typically not found on holsters in this price bracket.

It’s also cut for a red dot should you ever decide to upgrade the slide or add a rear sight adapter plate for mounting Shield RMS optics.

Comes in Black or FDE to match the color of the Glock 19X.

#3 Ayin Optics Cut IWB/OWB Holster

This Ayin Tactical holster is the best of both worlds, giving you the option to use it inside the waistband or outside the waistband.

It also has an optics cut should you decide to upgrade the slide or add a rear sight red dot adapter plate on your Glock 19X making it future-proof.

No need to purchase a separate holster to carry on your hip. This holster is designed to fit the popular Streamlight TLR-7 or TLR-8 weapon light.

This holster is one of the best deals on the market for what it does and gets our nod of approval.

#4 Kaos Fusion Torch FDE IWB Holster

Kaos Concealment is the best option we’ve found for use with the awesome Surefire X300 Ultra and can be set up to carry in any fashion that’s most comfortable and efficient for your style of concealed carry.

This holster is as rugged and tough as it comes, made out of a very durable Kydex polymer and designed to firmly retain the Surefire weapon light regardless of the model of Glock you put in it.

It’s also the only ambidextrous holster on this list so all you lefties can use this fully adjustable holster solution by Kaos Concealment.

#5 Gamble Tactical Light Bearing Holster

Gamble Tactical makes this unique design that mitigates the need to purchase a weapons light-specific holster giving you the ability to change out or use any weapons light and laser combo you’d like.

This OWB holster also has a cool and clever way of retaining your Glock 19X that’s as natural as grabbing the grip which in turn lifts the polymer retaining lever for a quick and smooth draw every time.

It may take some practice to get used to a new system, but we think it’s worth giving it a go. If it’s not for you, Amazon has a gracious return window with free return shipping in most cases!

Best Glock 19X Training Tools

It gets prohibitively expensive training with your pistol at the range with the rising cost of target ammo and range fees.

Of course, there’s no way to replace training with live ammo in terms of getting good at recoil control.

There are, however, some innovative and well-thought-out training tools that can help you get good at drawing your weapon and improving your aim and accuracy while allowing you to dryfire your Glock 19X without racking the slide.

You can pick up some much-needed practice and skills without spending a dime at the range plus ammo costs!

Many of these training tools below are pretty fun ways to train your muscle memory and those all-important fine motor skills.

#1 Dryfiremag Glock Training Magazine

Ok, this Dryfiremag is one of the best training tools for practicing your trigger pull on the market today and is a must-buy if you plan on using one of the laser target systems that we use and recommend below.

Since the Glock 19X is a single-action striker-fire system, you’d have to rack the slide after every shot to practice with any laser target system and that would make it a tedious chore indeed and can’t simulate follow-up trigger pulls.

The Dryfiremag gives you just that and will help you develop those fine motor skills without firing a single shot of live ammo.

The only thing you won’t get with any of these training tools is recoil, but you’ll get 90% of everything else when you combine all of these training tools.

#2 LaserLyte Score Tyme Trainer Target

The LaserLyte Score Tyme Trainer is one of the most fun products we’ve used while training at home.

You can purchase an additional laser and compete with a partner to improve your shooting skills together (or you can just use the same pistol and save some money!).

We highly recommend using a Dryfiremag with single-action striker fire pistols such as the Glock 19X unless you want to add a ton of racking practice to your training regiment!

The price may seem steep but when you tally up how much it would cost in range time and ammo costs, it’s quite cheap in comparison.

I’ve improved my draw time and accuracy from using this laser target system and gained some much-needed muscle memory that translates well to actual training drills at the range.

The laser is press fit inside the barrel chamber that is easily removable (with a little push of the rod) after you’re finished training.

#3 LaserPET II Electronic Training Target

If you’re looking for the best straight-up laser training simulator with every built-in mode you could ever need to practice the most common drills taught by instructors nationwide, then the Laser Pet2 is a great choice.

Whereas the ScoreTyme Laser is based more on fun and competition (much like a game of darts), the Laser Pet2 is a serious drill trainer that allows you to easily cycle through the various modes to keep your skills sharp and help prepare you for real-life situations and keeps you from getting too rusty between range visits.

These drills are also very fun and have a ton of value built-in that will save you countless trips to the range making it very convenient as well.

#4 LaserHIT Dry Fire Training Kit

If you want to save a little money, the LaserHIT dry fire training kit is a pretty well-thought-out bit of kit.

The wireless option makes it easy to use your smartphone and TV as a way to place a variety of targets on a bigger screen making it much easier to see than most laser trainers.

The amount of information that is collected will help you hone your skills and show you where you need to improve.

With a bit of practice, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a better marksman, as well as getting comfortable with, and better at, shooting your Glock 19X in a short time!

#5 Mantis Laser Academy Training Kit

Our last pick for a solid laser trainer is our #1 choice for the budget-minded individual who still wants a system that will perform as reliably and includes a range of useful functions.

The Mantis Laser Academy is a highly-received product that gets great reviews everywhere we look.

This laser system does a little bit of everything, from serious drills to competitive target-shooting games with active scorekeeping- this system does it all at a fantastic price!

It even comes with everything you need (including a laser module and carrying case) and is ready to use right out of the box.

Best Glock 19X Tools and Cleaning Kits

We’ll end our best Glock 19X accessories recommendations with some all-important tools and cleaning kits that will ensure the proper function and maintenance of your Glock 19X for years to come.

#1 OTIS Pistol Cleaning Kit For Glock

This Otis kit is one of the most complete cleaning kits for those of you who own multiple Glocks in different calibers.

Comes with every tool, brush, cord, and lubricant you will need to thoroughly clean your dirty Glock after those dirty range trips.

This is the kit I recommend most to friends, family, and readers alike.

#2 Real Avid Pro Pack For Glock

We’ve been fans of Real Avid products for years. If you want to save some money and don’t mind using brass cleaning rods, then this complete Glock cleaning kit is a great option.

This kit comes with a handy cleaning tray to put your dirty Glock on and will keep any oils or solvents from damaging the surface of your workbench.

#3 Real Avid 9mm Cleaning Kit

This kit is very compact and well organized making it ideal for stuffing in your range bag.

It contains everything you need to clean and maintain your Glock 19X, minus solvent and gun oil.

If all you need is a small yet complete cleaning kit for 9mm then the Real Avid Gun Boss will do the job.

#4 NcStar Vism Ultimate Glock Tool Kit

This is the Ultimate Tool Kit for your Glock 19X or any other Glock model you may own.

If you bought these tools separately, you’d be spending way over $100! Just buy this one tool kit and call it a day.

This is the first kit I reach for when removing or adjusting rear/front sights or removing frame pins or striker assembly.

#5 Real Avid 4-in-1 Tool For Glocks

This handy little range bag tool is great to have when traveling to the range or for quick maintenance at home or anywhere that space won’t allow for a larger kit.

You can buy several of these 4-in-1 tools to keep one handy in each range bag, workbench drawer, or travel bag.

They’re just great to have around if you own several Glocks that get regular use, as we do! Will work in a pinch when doing basic disassembly and sight adjustments.
