BCL PX19 Foxbat

On a positive note I took mine to the range and it did not disappoint. Shot 100 flawless rounds. Its super accurate. I love the weight and the feel of the aluminum lower. I let a few members try it out as well and they were impressed with the over all feel and shooting experience.
The trigger and barrel are Shadow Systems and I am a huge fan as I have several Shadow System pistols. The trigger will lighten up after approx 200 rounds. Right now its breaking at 4.50 pounds give or take. My other Shadow Systems pistol triggers are approx 3.5-3.6 lbs. The barrels are exceptional. Anyone who has one will find that its an exceptional shooter IMHO. I have a spare stainless guide rod and a lighter 13lb Zev spring that I will be using on my next range trip. It comes with a standard Gen 3 Glock polymer guide rod and 18 lb spring.
Other than the length of time it took I am very happy with it.

It most certianly is. I'm glad that these came to fruition and made it to the hands that ordered them but it is almost comical how poorly this was handled.
Thanks for sharing your review after taking it to the range. Hoping to shoot mine next week. Can you point me in the direction of a metal guide rod? doesnt have to be stainless. Cheers!
I checked my local gun shop as well as the usual go to places . All the major retailors appear to be out of stock. I am not sure why Gen 3 guide rods are not readily available. I would suggest putting a Want to Buy on the EE. I am heading to the range this morning and will ask around there for you.
Took mine out, it ran like absolute garbage for about 150 rounds before things somewhat improved to 250.
Needs more run time but i was having issues with first round chambering and the slide failing to return to battery. One light strike because if that as well. Runs better with 124gr at least.
Pretty mid experience, reminds me of a GSG 16 so far.

Since this gun is a mix of BCL and Shadow Systems I am breaking it in like I did my other Shadow Systems pistols. They have a video and explanation on their you tube site - Shadow Systems Technical Tuesday https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1O4WUeTykA&t=6s. Basically they advise to run the firearm a little more wet then normal due to the tight tolerances. Due to the FoxBat having Shadow Systems trigger group, rails, barrel and I assume most if not all the internals are Shadow Systems it wouldn't hurt to watch the 3 min video.
Shadow Systems have a 200 round break in on their firearms so I would assume this one would be similar and that's why you were getting improved results after the 200 round mark. Here is their video on "Break in Period" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9xyl7TMHQs&t=13s
I hope things improve for you.

You said Shadow Systems a lot in that post. Makes me miss mine.
pirate604 it was a subliminal message for you. Loi. Hopefully one day soon you will be able to get another.
well fellas, I started this thread in late 2022 and today I finally was able to visit the range and put a few boxes through my PX19. I am pleased to report that she shot well. I started seeing tighter groups after the first 100 rounds. This is my first experience with any Shadow Systems components (trigger and barrel) but I feel they lived up to my high expectations. I want to put one of the same barrels in my G19X now! Once the optic mounts and mag base plates become available, I can see this being one of my favorite pistols.
PS. I purchased a couple of OEM Glock mags (part #GLK-MF10119) and they functioned flawlessly. Plus I think the OEM base plates look cleaner than the Pmags, and they dont rattle lol
