Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Joined the Glock club

Bought a G19. Three 15 round mags is more assuring to have in the truck than my SP with a couple of speed strips. SP will be retired to farm duty.

That is all

Good job.

SP??

SP 101? SP 100?

At any rate, join the club. Glocks are hard to beat.

Hard to argue against a G19...

Just wish more people would try the 17 before jumping on the 19 bandwagon. I have both, and never opt for the 19. When the rare circumstance occasionally arises where I feel like the 17 has too high a print chance, I go for the 43 rather than the, only slightly more compact, Model 19. 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?

There was a survey on here a while back. "If you could only own one gun" The G-19 got the most votes so I bought one. It is all that was said about it so I don't see a need for another Glock. I have other hand guns that I like to carry that have less fire power but they're prettier.

Glock 19 is a solid choice for sure.

Bought and started carrying a G19 about a little over a year ago. Grew on me. Have since added a G30S. Now considering a G41.

ShortMagFan: Welcome aboard. That Glock WILL serve you well.

great gun, my favorite glock

Congrats on your new Glock. I have one too, it's great gun.

It wasn't that long ago that you didn't understand why somebody would even want a Glock. Maybe all these people that you don't understand know what they're talking about.

On this issue, I have grown in my perspective. On others, you have yet to.

Tons of truth in this reply and an added bonus is he can forgo vaccum sealing it when he showers.

Let's see the G19 is likely the best selling handgun by volume for the past 20 years but somehow the g17 is now "better", I've yet to see anyone with a reasonable resume suggest the g17 over the g19 for a ccw piece. For a pure range toy or match gun where concealment isn't an issue then the g17 would likely win, oh but wait it pales for that role compared to what one gets in the g34.

I currently have all 3 and the g17 is shot the least of all despite it being a great pistol, it just doesn't fit any one role better then another. Hell outside of the long slide versions my old g30 shot as well as any of them which is consistent with a great many reviews of the g30.

Them G 19's grow on ya. I shot someone else's on several occasions and every time afterward I kept thinking about getting one for myself and the last time I shot someone else's I finally said "That's it !! "..... I'm getting one. So in Feb. 2012 I got a new gen. 3 G 19... I like it and something about that design and engineering appeals to me. Sort of a no frills, utilitarian, pain jane, basic approach to a handgun but it just works so well and reliably. I've seen G 19's that have thousands of rounds of steel cased Russian 9mm through them and they just keep on working. Some folks don't like Glocks but there's plenty of other good pistols out there to choose from if that's the case. I've also got other pistols but I still like my G 19..... It just plain works.

Agreed; I got a 19 a little over a year ago, got some aftermarket sights and the more I shoot it the more I like it.

Change out the factory "plastic" sights and replace with trijicons or mepros ect. Then shoot the heck out of it.

G19, the smallest pistol that never feels small. At least for me!

Agreed. The only thing a Glock needs is a sight upgrade. Otherwise, they are Glock Perfection.

I think this is a good thing, because sights are a matter of personal preference. So their coming with cheap sight place holders that can temporarily serve as sights till replaced is just fine with me.
