First Glock - 19 or 17?

[ronlglock]

I bought my 19 first then bought a 17 several years later. The 17 is a safe queen.

Put an OD green G19 in 10 day jail today. Felt right! Thanks everyone for all the input.

Great timing to get the G19 OD green. You will like it.

Whichever fits in your hand the best. That's the one for you

^^^this. had a g19 that just didnt fit my not-overly-large hands well. fingers always felt cramped and i would always have to adjust my fingers to seat them properly into the grooves. sold that and got the g17. never been happier

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!

If you go 34 that puts you in competition division for gssf right? I'm in the same boat and was thinking 17 for gssf (no concealed carry for me)

G 17. For me.

Oddball me. G35 in .40. Get a conversion barrel. Its like a laser lol. Not the best shot but that g35 can hit cans at 50 yards. Good enough for me. With my Wilson combat 9 mm conversion barrel it runs fine. Same mag same ejector no issues switching back and forth.

If your never going to CC it, I'd get the 17 or 34. I have all 4, the 26,19,17, and 34. I shoot the 17 in uspsa over the 34. Sounds dumb, but I shoot it better. No idea why as it's the same frame and both have the same internal mods done. Sometimes it just is what it is. I carry the 19 some, but mostly a 43. I'd suggest trying to rent them both and try them out.

G19 for me as well due to having small hands and G19 can do both functions like ccw and open carry.

OP if you think competition might be in your future get the g17, the extra few mm on the grip reduces the chance of pinching yourself during a reload.
If you want to buy just one glock, the g19 is hard to beat.

1st and last

Just get the Glock 17 and you're good to go

I shot the 17 and didn't like it. Shot the 19 and loved it.

That's not to say the 19 is better, it's just better for me. Thus I suggest you ignore all of us and go shoot them. One will speak to you better than the other.
