Probably have a whole bunch they need to get rid of now that CBP isn't buying nearly as many 47s compared to 19s

Yep...
From what I heard, BP was given the option between the 47 and 19. Think it is either issued or an option for AMO/SRT/BORTAC.
The biggest division of CBP, OFO, was issued the 19 across the board. So, the gun built for CBP isn’t even an option for most. When they went over the gun, we were told that it will be publicly released when Glock gets them (entire contract) in out hands.
Most likely will go with the 19, since it is pretty much the same dimensions as the H&K P2000 that we had. A 19.5 MOS is what’s in our holsters... with longer base plates. At first, I didn’t think I’d like them... but they do give a nice grip to yank out a magazine, without that cut from the 19M. Due to COVID, the transition has been slow with small classes, but one officer in my group, who isn’t a great shooter, did marginally better with the Glock.
Personally, I rather have the 47. I also rather have a weapon light, but that is a port specific thing... and some are really fighting it.
