In this article, we’ll give you the lowdown on the DUSK 19, its specs, performance, and how it stacks up against other Glock-compatible options.

Lone Wolf Arms: A Brief History

Founded in 1998 by JR Shepard, Lone Wolf Arms started as a distributor of Glock parts and accessories. Over time, the company expanded its product line to include its own aftermarket Glock components such as barrels, slides, triggers, frames, and magazines. Known for its high-quality barrels made of 416R stainless steel, as well as its 17-4 stainless steel slides, Lone Wolf Arms has become a leading supplier of Glock-compatible products for casual and professional shooters alike.

Introducing the DUSK 19

In May 2023, Lone Wolf Arms launched its first complete pistol offering, the DUSK 19. Based on the popular Glock 19 platform, the DUSK 19 aims to address some of the limitations and drawbacks of the standard Glock 19 by offering several enhancements and upgrades.

Let’s dive into the features and benefits that make the DUSK 19 stand out from other Glock-compatible pistols.

Slide Design and Optic Compatibility

The DUSK 19 features a unique slide design made of 17-4 stainless steel, offering front serrations, lightening cuts, and chamfered edges for improved handling, weight reduction, and aesthetics. The slide also comes with a pre-installed RMR cut cover plate, allowing for easy mounting of red dot optics like Trijicon RMR, Holosun HS507C, and Vortex Venom. Additionally, the DUSK 19 includes Night Fision suppressor-height sights that provide a lower 1/3 co-witness with an optic mounted on the slide.

Barrel Options and Finish Choices

The DUSK 19 offers both standard and threaded barrel models, with various finish choices such as black nitride, oil-rubbed bronze, or graphite gray. These barrels, made of 416R stainless steel, feature match-grade chambers, crowns, and rifling for enhanced performance. They are also compatible with Lone Wolf’s AlphaWolf compensators, suppressors, and muzzle devices.

Trigger System and Customization

One of the standout features of the DUSK 19 is the Lone Wolf Ultimate Adjustable Trigger (UAT), which allows for fine-tuning of pre-travel, over-travel, and reset.

The trigger also features a flat-faced trigger shoe with a safety blade for improved ergonomics, control, and consistency. The finish choices for the slide, barrel, and frame include options like black nitride, flat dark earth, oil-rubbed bronze, or graphite gray, allowing for customization and personalization of the pistol.

Specifications and Performance

The DUSK 19 offers impressive specifications and performance, based on its dimensions, weight, capacity, caliber, accuracy, reliability, and recoil management.

With an overall length of 6.95 inches and a height of 4.94 inches, the DUSK 19 has a barrel length of 4.02 inches (standard) or 4.60 inches (threaded). The pistol weighs 22.25 ounces (standard) or 23.25 ounces (threaded) unloaded without a magazine or optic and has a standard magazine capacity of 15 rounds plus one in the chamber.

With compatibility with Glock Gen3 parts and magazines, the DUSK 19 is an excellent choice for a variety of purposes, including self-defense, competition, hunting, and plinking.
