I was all set to buy a 19 when my GSSF coupon gets here, then I handled and shot a G17.4 yesterday. Now I'm not so sure about the 19. Never even considered the 17 before.

I prefer the 17 as I can grip much higher compared to the 19 due to the "hump".

By "both?" he meant get a 17 and chop it down to a G19L (for ease of concealment, with the longer sight radius).
I'm still trying to man up enough to do it, but I just like the extra grip on my 17 EVEN though the 19 isn't too small for my hands--I'd like to believe this great feeling will translate to the 19L, but if it doesn't I'll regret the cut. |

I'm kinda the odd man out. I like a bit more grip area than the 19 provides, and like a shorter barrel/slide than the 17 has. I don't care for the finger humps on either model, or any pistol for that matter. So I build my own, 19 with extended back strap and no finger humps. Fits perfect now. If I had to pick between the two, unmodified, my vote goes to the 19.

Both work for me, so I opted for the 19. The 17 fits slightly better, but not enough to justify carrying a larger pistol.

G19 grip is too small for my hands, so i prefer the G17. The G26 also fits my hands better than the 19 because my pinky goes beneath the gun.
Try both and find what works for YOU. |

I like the 17 better. For whatever reason (I think finger grooves) the G19 just doesn't fit right. I absolutely love my new gen 4 G17. It fits my hand well, it shoots well, the new texture is very grippy without being abrasive, and the new mag catch allows me to drop a mag without changing my firing grip, and still stay in USPSA production class. I am seriously considering buying a second gen 4 G17 at the end of this year once I've put this one through its paces, for use as a primary competition and backup defense pistol.
ETA: This is more of an endorsement for the gen 4 than the G17. Buy whichever you think suits you best. There's a reason there are so many Glock models and so many substitute pistol manufacturers. Everyone is different. |

Actually a process I came up with and have been testing for the past year for durability. I built three of them, two were mine, a 3rd gen and my 4th gen G19. The third was for a customer/ instructor who had orders to beat the crap out of it to make sure it wouldn't fail. Zero failure rate, so I will be adding that modification option to the website soon. It will be a limited production though, as I use parent Glock polymer frame material. TXPO |

Thats a 17 with a 19 size grip..."both". he didnt necessarily mean get 2 guns... |
