The Glock 19 Gen3 was released in 1998, introducing new features such as an accessory rail, thumb rests, and finger grooves on the grip for improved ergonomics. Its black finish, typical of Glocks, is due to a hardening treatment called Tenifer. The action is a striker-fired system, known for delivering a consistent and smooth trigger pull.
