Im in the market now for either a Glock 19 or Glock 17.

The main purpose will be for target shooting, home protection, and if shit hits the fan ill wear it OWB. I currently carry a G42 IWB, so i wont be holding this new purchase IWB.

What would you recommend? Im leaning towards the G17 just because it seems like it would fit more of my needs...the only downside I can see is if I eventually did want to carry it IWB, the G19 would be the better choice...your thoughts?

If you aint ever gonna wear the thing get a g17

If you ever want to CC get a g19.
>>
I held both, and went with the 19. 17 is too big for a 9mm IMO, but I bet I could shoot better with it. MY uncle wanted a glock after shooting mine, thought I had a 17, and got a 17. No regrets. You can't go wrong with either. Eventually you'll have enough guns to not care about little details.

>>30808795
Having a 19, it's the last pistol in my collection I would consider for cc
>>
>>30808688
I own the 17 and 23 (lol .40, fuck you it was a good deal)
I actually much prefer the 17 overall, but the 19 is just easier to carry. If you dont mind carry a full sized get the 17, if your main concern if concealing it then the 19 is the better choice

>>30808804
>17 is too big for a 9mm
should i consider the G22? I would prefer the extra capacity of the G17 tho

>>30808812
why? a lot of people carry the G19

>>30808827
Yeah I dont think I will ever carry it since I love my G42
>>
>>30808812
I carry a 23 and I have no issues.

I CC my g19 all the time new friend.
>>
>>30808898
the only reason to get the 22 is if you want a .40
>X is to big for 9mm
its called variety, there are dozens of little pocket 9mms that Ii think are way to small and uncomfortable but to each their own

>Considering a Glock 17
>Glock 34 is readily available
>Glock 17L has special runs every now and again

I cannot fathom why anyone would want a full size pistol and not a long slide when they're not even trying to consider CC. Beyond that, the 34 is the same length as a 1911, which is CC'd by a shitload of people.

I CC a 17 every day. I have big hands, and I'm pretty stocky as well; so it's easy to IWB with a good gun belt.
>>
>>30809699
I don't know how many people even know about the 34. I love mine, I just wish the sight picture wasn't fucked. I had to black out the front dot.

>The current year
>Keeping your Glock sights stock
I know, I know.

It would be a pain in the ass to CC, though. Comparing them to a 1911 is kind of apples and oranges.

Want to know how I know youre a manlet?
>>
>>30808688
If you already have a carry gun get the 17. I'm skinny and everything prints on me so I carry an LC9s in the summer. I bought a 19 but kinda wish I got the 17 since I'm only going to be able to carry it in cold weather anyway. Plus 17 mags work in the 19 but not the other way around.
>>
Is CCing a 29 a good idea?
>>
>>30808688
Get the 34 if you never plan on CCW with it. I have all of the above and the 34 is the most fun to shoot.
>>
>>30810001
honestly the 34 looks like 17 w autism
>>
>>30809896
as a manlet, I carry a g19 size gun and have carried a g22 (loaner gun on a trip out if state) iwb with no issues. Anon is just a faggot.
>>
>>30808688
Get the 19, you can always throw a 17 mag in it and a longer barrel on it.

I was thinking of using my 34 for CC. Slap on an X300 Ultra and a set of night sights, and I'm good. But I was thinking of doing so in a custom shoulder rig. Thoughts on that?
>Tfw no MP446 Viking yet
That'll likely be my ideal CCW. That or a G17, and eventually will relegate the 34 to bedside status.

MMMMM, so sexy. Matches the slide length perfectly.
>>
>>30808688
Pick them up and decide which one balances more for you.
>>
17 or 34
the 19s the perfect compromise gun if you were to only buy one but you bought a g42. you already specialized and have multiple guns. fuck compromise

This.

Honestly, my G34 is one of my favorite handguns right now. She's been 100% reliable and if I do my part I can lay down a "holes-touching" group at 15 yards unsupported with factory sights. I plan on getting a set of tru-glo night sights soon.
>>
The 17 fit my hand better so I got it, but you can't go wrong with either. Just get the one that works for you.

Get the 19, and slowly start building a roland special out of it.
