Great Lakes Firearms 19 Striker 9Mm 4 Galaxy Platinum Or 15Rd
The Great Lakes Firearms 19 Striker 9mm is a compact, striker-fired polymer pistol built for shooters who want a reliable carry gun without the premium price tag. With a 4-inch barrel, RMR-compatible optic cut, and a ported slide for faster shot recovery, this is a serious contender if you're shopping for a no-nonsense 9mm that plays well with modern accessories. The ambidextrous magazine release makes it equally friendly for lefties and righties, and the aluminum flat-faced trigger gives you a clean, predictable break right out of the box.
Great Lakes designed the Striker to be Glock-compatible where it counts—the magazines and trigger mechanism share commonality with Gen3 Glock parts, so you're not locked into a proprietary ecosystem. The polymer frame sports a Galaxy Platinum Cerakote finish that looks sharp and protects against wear, while the 4-inch nitride-finished barrel is built to last. You get two 15-round magazines in the box, so you've got capacity to work with from day one.
The front and rear slide serrations give you positive purchase when racking the slide under stress, and the fixed sights keep things simple and snag-free. The ported slide helps tame recoil impulse, which matters on a compact frame when you're running hot at the range or during training. Whether you're building a duty-grade pistol with an RMR, training for defensive proficiency, or just want a solid 9mm that handles well, the Striker delivers function and value in a compact package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Great Lakes Firearms 19 Striker compatible with Glock parts?
Yes. The magazine and trigger mechanism are compatible with Glock Gen3 parts, so you can source aftermarket triggers, springs, and magazines from the vast Glock ecosystem without modification.
Can I mount a red-dot sight on the 19 Striker?
Absolutely. The slide is cut for RMR-pattern optics, so you can install any RMR-compatible red-dot sight directly on the gun. No additional mounting plate is required.
What's included in the box?
You get the pistol, two 15-round magazines, and nothing else. No holster or additional accessories are included.
What does the ported slide do?
The ports in the slide help reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, which allows for faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy during rapid fire. This is especially useful on a compact 9mm during defensive or competition training.
