Are there any real differences besides size? Im looking to trade my XD 40 4" on one. Love the accuracy that i get from the XD but am tired of babying it(rust) . Will the Glock offer similiar results? I assume that they both are as reliable. thanks Will |

Any rust you may encounter on the Tennifer finish of a Glock is easily removed with CLP. I have zero firsthand experience with the XD, but rust isn't something you'd have to worry about on a Glock pistol. There is + .5 inches length barrel difference between the G17 and G19. The G19 being the smaller of the two. Get the Glock and shoot the piss out of her. There's absolutely no worries. HS1 |
| There can be a bit more felt recoil in the G-17 because of slide inertia, but you have to shoot the guns right after one another to really notice. Also, the slightly longer sight radius of the G-17 may give a slight edge for matches if you think that may be something you might do. |

You won't have to worry about rust with the Glock. The last time Mark5pt56 and I shot it was raining cats and dogs and my G17 sat in the range bag for a good 2 weeks before I finally got around to cleaning it and there wasn't even a hit of rust any where on it or in it. As for the G19 .vs G17...I really don't think it makes much of a difference. I've heard from several people that the compacts point better for those that are not used to Glocks but I can't confirm this. I think the G19 would be slightly better if you wanted to carry it concealed. |
| I shot them both yesterday, side be side. The 17 was all over at 20yds. The 19 was low and left but in a tighter group. i shot two different 19's and they shot the same. i dont know if im flinching or what. they both feel good in my hands. As fas as concealment goes i would like to, but i live in Nebraska. No go. None of the guns at the local gun shop had hi cap mags. |
