    The hump is gonna be in a different spot between the two. Neither will have much recoil. Get what fits the hand but the 19 and then the 34 suggestion is best bet.

      I like the feel of the G17 better. Fits my hand better and shoots better.

        Just looked up the G34. Think 19 then 34 is the way! My two buddies that have guns are completely anti glock, so I'm going into this purchase with an open mind!

            I've got 17 - 19 - 26 and wish I hadn't sold my early Gen1 17L. My favorite is my Gen2 Austrian 19 I bought new in 1989.

              G34 hands down will be your favorite range gun. I bring a few guns out but end up only shooting my 34. I personally think the 17 is a useless size. I'd go get a 34 and then a 19 later if you end up loving the Glock platform.

                Having shot both, I recommend 19. Feels tighter, better in my hand. I have other full size metal guns, Beretta's and cz. Love them but 19 Glock works for me.

                  I'm a big fan of the G-19
                  Its very handy, it shoots well and it can use G-17 mags while a G-17 cannot use G-19 mags.

                  Good luck with whichever model you choose and join the GSSF once you get that Glock.
                  Have fun!

                    Another vote for the 34. If you have not shot one, do so and then decide.

                      If carry is never a factor, 17

                        I'm not religiously anti-Glock, and I've shot a few that were rented or borrowed, it's just that I've never had any use for one and think that for every app there's a better alternative. BUT, someday, I'd like to own a G19, jes cuz.

                          19. I have a 17 and 32 and prefer the compact size. Feels even better with a trigger guard undercut and finger groove removal if you have larger hands.

                            If you're looking for variety in your collection, I would definitely go with G34 first. You already have compact-subcompacts and a full size cz. 34 gives you a long barrel that is perfect for range, home defense and of course competition. No question, 34 performs better than 19 at the range. 19 is not good for comp. Better accuracy due to sight radius. Lighter stock trigger. Etc.

                              I am going to agree with all the 34 folks.

                              If you have not shot a 34, do so before buying the 19, then decide.

                              34 is much more fun for a range toy IMO.

                              The 34 goes on almost all range trips, my 19 gets used, but nowhere near as much.

                                There's a reason why your friends are anti-Glock.

                                But if you must buy a Glock, I highly recommend the Glock 34. It's much easier to shoot accurately vs the G19 or G17. No reason to get a G19 because you already have compact guns and don't ever plan to carry.
