We all know there's plenty of aftermarket for the various Glock models.
I still have my Gen 2 G19 and have upgraded it with a Dagger frame for a much improved grip angle, but my search for the "Perfect" G19 took me to other products.
First, I built up a complete PSA Dagger (Compact) after getting the frame to upgrade the G19 which worked out great. And I really liked the complete Dagger as a general "truck" pistol. Then I took an interest in the RXM.
I really like the RXM upper, and picked one up vs. a complete RXM with the FCI. I found the Magpul frame as exciting as vanilla pudding w/o the vanilla. Since I had used a Dagger frame I tried one on the RXM upper. It was OK but I found out that the RXM upper was fatter (wider) than both the PSA Dagger & OEM G19 upper. Plus, that and some Dagger frame idiosyncrasies made that hybrid not very compatible with regular G19 holsters, and the combo seemed "off" a bit.
With a variety of other aftermarket G19 frames, besides the PSA Dagger ones, I discovered Grit Grips frames.

Grit Grips makes G19 Gen 3 frames (stripped & complete), in a variety of colors, with the much better grip angle that the OEM G19, plus a number of ergonomic improvements. They offer the complete Gen3 G19 frames with either aftermarket internals (aka guts) at a great price or OEM guts at a premium price. IMO, the frames are 98.6% just right.

They also offer add-on aluminum ad-on magwell color matched to the frames. I also order one of these & glad I did.

I got the frame & magwell today & here it is.
The 360 deg. wrap grip texture is very secure vs. the slippery Glock stippling. And the add-on magwell helps secure my "pinky finger" and whole hand into the grip. The palm swell on the frame fills things out vs. the "brick-like" Glock shape.
Due to the slightly "fatter" RXM upper it's alittle tight in my G19 holsters but the ones with a tension screw are easy to adjust to fit both.
Basically, my 98.6% "Perfect" G19 w/o any Glock.
