Just picked this up this afternoon at the LGS for $519 OTD. This is my 1st Glock. I really like the size and capacity, can't believe I didn't get one sooner. Looking at getting a TLR 1 for it and the Wilson Vickers Battlesights. I need mags too, might get Magpuls or just factory 17 round mags.

When I went into the shop I wasn't sure if I would get the 17 or the 19, but I decided on the 19. I don't think you gain much with the 17.

I noticed the trigger hosuing pin is not centered in the frame, how could I center it? Just a tap with a punch?

Expected I may hit a 5" target once out of 5-8 shots. Ended up 3" grouping at 33yrds... You got an awesome price too! |

OK will do FROM THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE OF THE FRAME (WHEN THE MUZZLE IS POINTING AT THE TARGET). Place your fingers at the very tip of a 3/32" machinist's drift punch, (Sears and True Value Hardware, both, sell them.) or a Glock Armorer's Tool. This way you'll avoid having the punch slip and scratch your frame. Glock pins come out in accord with, 'AR15 protocol'. Remove them from the left side, and replace them from the right. (Primarily because of the slide stop groove on the trigger pin; but, generally, it's just a good habit to follow.) NOTE: At different times the Armorer's Course has taught different methods of pin installation; but, I've found the best way to install Glock frame pins is the way Glock originally used to teach it. (Because it's a simple highly flexible polymer frame - NOT a sophisticated bolt-action receiver that might become unduly stressed after being bolted down in a #1 - #3 pattern.) Start with the highest, #1, 'lock block pin'. Next go to the #2, 'trigger pin'; finally install the #3, 'trigger housing unit pin'. SAVE YOURSELF FROM SLIDE STOP PROBLEMS, AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT THE #1, 'LOCK BLOCK PIN' SHOULD ALWAYS GO BACK IN FIRST - OK. |

Wait till OP figures out he wants a Gen4 next and has to get a G19.4 to add to the collection.
I need to find me a used G19.3 and G17/34.4. |

I noticed some play between the slide and frame up by the muzzle and the gun rattles when shaken side to side. Normal?

It's a poly-frame pistol; this means that it's plastic against steel; so, yes, that very necessary clearance is there in order to allow for the frame to flex (or harmonically vibrate) while the pistol is firing.

OK, this is my first Glock and compared to my buddy's 19 it seemed to have more rattle/play. Not going to worry about it. |

OK, if you recall, did you hold your buddy's Glock when it had a fully loaded magazine in it, or not? (They rattle less when they're fully loaded!)

You'll be more than pleased. |

Good choice in Glock model. I bought mine about eight years ago which was my first Glock and I've not regretted it. It is my bedside gun with a Surefire X300 weapon light and two dot vertical sights. Zev Technologies trigger kit installed just recently. It is an awesome pistol. Enjoy and be safe.

I got to shoot it today. Shot 130 FMJ and 36 old Hydrashoks. No malfunctions or stoppages. I really like how the gun shoots, but I was shooting a little left. Nothing some dry firing can't fix.
