Reason being that I can noticeably shoot the 17 better, its concealment characteristics are just a hair inferior to the 19 (and will therefore never make a difference in the real world), and it carries just as well as the 19 (says I), so why give up improved handling and higher capacity for a handgun that's hardly noticeably more compact?
