ughhhh glock 19/17 indecision!

[Click Boom]

Ive spent the last two hours fondling these gen4 pistols and am just beating myself up so bad!

G17-
Longer radius/barrel
Fingers align more naturally in grooves
There's a place for my pinky to go
Maybe slightly faster on target when practicing quick draws because of the sight radius

G19-
Just more concealable and "carryable" in general

The advantages for the g17, though numerous, are slight. I do feel like I would be a tad more accurate with it, so is it worth giving up the overall good bigness for better concealability? I dont have a ccw (although id like one in the future), although im not sure either of them would be my first choice for ccw.

Arghhhhhhhhh! I need to make a decision! I like small things, that's why I run my stocks collapsed on ak's and stuff... and the 19 is definitely a bit smaller, but if bolstering/storing/etc was never a concern I would go for the 17 which, with the longer grip, fits my hand a little bit better.

I wish I could tell if the 17 would really be more accurate, as I am suspecting. This is tough, I need to place the Order in the next hour...

If it fits your hand better, get the 17. I shoot better with things that feel comfortable with. You can always get a g19/26 later for CCW, although maybe not a gen 4.

The 19 has very nice design/aesthetics.... but man oh man its a tough call!!!!!!!!!! Someome come on here and tell me that the 17 is more accurate than the 19???

I love me some hickok45, and he doesn't even mess around with the full size models at all... he's all about the 19/23, and I wish I could shoot like him (duh)... but omg this is hard... I mean the 17 is closer to the 34 which is the most accurate right? Damn damn damn lol

To make matters worse I got to try out the sig 2022 which is unreal for thr money, but it's on the roster so less urgent. That sig trigger is insanity.

[johnny_boy02]

I vote get both.

[TheExiled]

What do you own now? If you dont have a full size 9mm now, get the 17

[PapaDelta]

Get the 17 now, then 19 later. You can't have one without the other, it's inevitable. That's what I did in that order, but both in Gen 3.

I bought a G19 gen 2 in the early 90's; it concealed well; I didn't care for how dainty it looked in a belt holster. I also didn't like how my pinky "dropped off" the grip. I sold it and got a G17 gen 3 which feels like it was custom made for my hand (after installing a Houge slip on grip).

I plan on buying a G26 gen 3 for whenever we can obtain LTC. Not a real comfy grip for me; but, should conceal very well and still use my G17 mags.

Of course, YMMV.

[Click Boom]

Well just ordered the 17.... weeee

[Leatherneck714]

Glock 17 all day, everyday. The 19 also has a tad bit more recoil.

[sd_shooter]

Start saving for the 19 now

[saudadeii]

I don't think you can go wrong either way. I prefer "compacts" so when I go, I'll go 19.

No we can't dance together
No we can't talk at all
Please take me along
When you slide on down

Hey 19!!

[crufflers]

IMHO, It is a personal decision based on how the guns fit you, and you said the 17 fits better. I think you should get the 17.

If you want something to conceal, get a 26 or a single stack.

Love my 17/34 sized Glocks. G19 just never feels right in my hand.

[bajadan]

get a 17gen4 you can also get 34 slide down the road if SSE is gone.
