age old question g17 or g19
« on: January 18, 2012, 03:09:50 PM »
I'm debating between buying another Gen 4  glock 19 or picking up a Gen 4 g17. I had the 19 before and loved it but usually carry my 229 e2. Anyone want to try to sway me either way. I wouldn't mind either and would be equally happy. Neither one really is a must but I am getting one of the two tomorrow and the fit and feel between the 2 is perfect for me. I just need a little push to make it easier to decide.

How will you carry it ?
If IWB barrel length is irrelevant so it would be personal preference.
If OWB go for the 19 since it is shorter.

I've carried both with know problem in the past. I think I just need some one to smack me in to making a decision.

Can't go wrong with either since it is a Glock!  8)

As Tom mentioned, depends on what you want to use it for.  I have owned two G17's and would love to own another and a G19. I have been spoiled carrying a G30SF and keeping the G21SF at home.

G19

For one, the extra size of the G17 is generally not going to make you shoot better, but the size can be more to deal with IF you carry it.

Two, I recently traded to a G19 and I don't want feel like I made the wrong decision  ;D

Get the 19. It will do everything the 17 will do, and the reverse isn't true. I've owned both and liked them, but its easier to conceal the 19.

If my hand fit the finger grooves better it would be a no brainer...the 19 but the 17 just seems to fit better in my hand.  Local club mught start GSSF matches so I will need something to shoot.  Will probably get the 17 with the GSSF discount.  Wish Glock had the option of non fg grip...or the shooting organizations would allow removal of fg and still remain stock.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour." George Washington
