Glock G19 Gen3 9mm Compact Pistol – Early VFC Prefix, Tenifer Finish, Steel Tritium Night Sights, 4 Mags
This Austrian-made Glock G19 Gen3 combines an early VFC-prefix serial, the hard-wearing Tenifer finish, and upgraded steel tritium night sights. As the last generation to use Glock’s original single recoil spring, it offers the classic Gen3 feel in a compact 15-round package that remains a favorite for carry and range use.

Early VFC-prefix examples like this one mark the first pistols produced in their letter block, adding collector appeal without sacrificing shootability.
The slide and barrel wear matching Austrian proof marks and Glock logos, confirming factory manufacture in Austria before U.S. assembly. Both components carry the Tenifer salt-bath ferritic-nitriding treatment, rated around 64 HRC for outstanding corrosion and wear resistance.
Installed steel tritium night sights replace the original polymer set, giving a brighter, longer-lasting sight picture in low light while retaining a low-profile snag-free design.
Inside, the 4.02-inch carbon-steel barrel uses Glock’s polygonal rifling to improve gas seal and extend service life. The Safe-Action striker-fired trigger, standard magazine release, and rear-serrated slide round out the familiar Gen3 control layout.
Compact dimensions, a 15+1 capacity, and durable finishes make this Gen3 G19 equally suited for concealed carry, duty rotation, or range work—now with the benefit of night sights and four OEM magazines straight out of the box.
