[ga4boats917]

I prefer the 19 and seem to shoot it a little better.

I'm confused.

Why is this more comfortable? Unless you have an extra finger.

Its great if you wear gloves. extra room

Do yourself a favor and get one.... or several

FIFY

Cute little guns.

I'm with the guy who suggested bigger...

Love our 34 and 35!

And you probably get a deal on a 35 now, as I think I read 40S&W is outdated now.

lol

Different sized guns for different purposes

Ok, newb question as I am new to handguns in general. I am thinking about a g19, but if I find a good gen2, is that okay for a beginner or should I be looking for a newer gen3 or 4?

Just to add. I have shot a g19,g17 and g26, all gen 3. Liked them all but felt most comfortable with the g19. So not sure if gen2 or gen4 versions shoot differently. I hear they feel a little bit different.

Also, will be used for HD and Range mainly. Not sure if I will go the ccw route, but perhaps in the future.

Gen 2 & 4 are fine but Gen 4s are way overpriced and sometimes Gen 2s are.

Do yourself a favor and just get a new Gen 3. G17 or G19 is your choice. Some people have problems with CA 10 rnd G19 mags but most of those problems are easily solved with new followers from Glock (usually free and easy to do)

[Clippers015]

^thanks. I was leaning just getting a new gen3 19, so I guess I will go that way!

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I also have been seriously considering a Glock purchase. Is there any downsides to a G3 vs a G4? I haaaate the fact that I can't get the "newest and greatest" at a reasonable price and having to settle with an older (although definitely proven) model. Once I get over this mental barrier I'm definitely going to get one haha

There are some minor internal changes that don't matter much to me. I like the Gen4 adjustable backstrap on my G34 but I didn't have to pay a premium for it. I'm just a happy with my Gen3s as my Gen4.

I was the same way, but for the $250-300 Cali premium I got over it

.....really like my G34 Gen 3 and happy I didn't pay up for the Gen 4. Spent money for upgraded sights and felt like I got 'em for free

Bought a Grip Force Adapter for $22 and it pretty much does what the Gen 4 backstrap does.

diversify and you may find yourself leaving the glock behind. I also go back to it but it may have 10yrs of in the safe dust on it

I have a few 19s, few 17s ..when I get home my 17 is my goto! I have pretty big hands and the largest beaver tail is what suits me the best

Are those worth the money? I am reluctant to put anything on my Glock, but sometimes the slide does scratch the web of my hand when I fire.
