Which Glock 9mm is the best firearm for home protection? Glock info only, please. Thank you.

Gen 3 GLOCK 17 standard service model

Gen 3 GLOCK 19 Compact model

the G19 seems to be more popular because it's a little easier to carry for concealed carry

people with larger hands might like the G17 since the grip is a little longer

I’m currently partial to the G26, but almost everyone loves the G19.

The one that YOU shoot the best.

You will get so many different opinions and they will all probably be right for the person giving the opinion, but most will be wrong for YOU.

So go to a range that rents the 17 and the 19 and start with those two and see which YOU shoot better.

FWIW
My preference is the G-19
I find it very compact and handy. I found it to be very accurate out to 25 yards which takes care of the interior just about any house.

17 or 34

I have a 17 for home defense and a 26 for concealed carry.

19 is my choice but if you have larger hands, your pinky might might hang off the grip. In that case, the 17 would work better.
For HD, a mounted light is recommended.

Any will do, but I also agree with mounting a light for HD. You should also be looking for the most appropriate 9mm ammo for said gun/application.

Agree with above posts about g19 and g17 being fine choices, and renting them if you haven't shot either yet.

I have a G17, and have shot the G19. Even though I have smaller hands, but longish fingers, I like the grip, and the slightly greater weight, compared to the G19, tames recoil a bit better. I also like the G17's longer sight radius.

It is still a good idea to get your paws on them to see which fits you best.

Let us know what you decide.

THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ is the only answer that will help you OP. FYI I went to try out a Glock 21 and Glock 30 twenty one years ago and I ended up buying the G30. For some reason I couldn't shoot the G21 as well at the time. Listen to the above quote.

BTW even try a G26. Since they all feel different in your hand, you never know which one might work for YOU!
