So I finally shot the G17 today and it feels perfect in my hands and shoots very well too. I own a G19 which I can shoot very well on good days at 15 yards, but usually I get a couple flyers outside the 9 ring. I even shoot the G26 very well out to 25 yards with the shorter grip. So I am pretty damn puzzled why the G19 shoots the worse out of the three and now I really want a G17. |

Quoted: Quoted: Neither, I shoot my 1911 best  That will be the next gun I try out at the range next week. I'm a former Glockaholic. I had just about ever model they made in 9mm and .40. My favorite was the Glock 23C, with which I had a 9mm conversion barrel, and a Glock 32 (.357sig) barrel. Awesome gun, wish I would never have traded it for a Sig P226 Enhanced Elite. However, no matter how much I shot the Glocks, I never shot them as well as my 1911s. I still love the Glock platform, but i just shoot the 1911 better. |

Always wanted a 34/35.

I don't know. I only have a 17 and I haven't shot it yet. I think you will do well with it but try the 19, and 26 when you can. The sub-compact shoots surprisingly well for me. Oh I'm sure I will. I was really back and forth between a 17 and a 19 and the second I bought the 17 I wanted the 19... Lately I've been wanting a 26 |

Lately I've been wanting a 26 I think a 17 and 26 is all you need after shooting all three, but my wife really like the 19, I mean a G26 for ccw with 10 rounds plus a back up 17 mag and your gtg imo.

I vote sub-compact... Cause thats the only glock I've shot 
Gettin a "Mid sized" G23 next week though... Might change my answer Before you get the Compact go shoot the full size at the range. Meh, it's gonna be my CCW, want to keep it somewhat small(ish) |

Quoted: I have found that people who can shoot a 17, don't shoot a 19 well, and vice versa. for me I don't shoot the 19 well,the swell on the lower part of the grip seems ill fit my hand. That is the feeling I am getting after shoot the 19 and 17 back to back today. |
| Overall, I do best with my lightly modified 17 (Warren FO sights, Vanek GSSF trigger job, Talon Grips). I could probably do better with my similarly set-up 34, but I have a lot more time with the 17, so it is what I am confident with. I do seem to shoot PPC, and the 6-across plate rack a tad faster with the 34. I actually don't do much worse with my 26, considering it is set up for both carry and competition, with only some polish work done to an otherwise stock trigger, and night sights. My 21 is a bit odd, I must admit. It is the Glock I have the least amount of time with, and the trigger seems different from the rest. I don't know what it is, but it seems heavier and a tad longer. The recoil difference is fairly minimal, although my splits are a little slower. I don't own a 19, but shooting a stock 17 and 19 side-by-side yielded similar results for me. |
