I got it about a month ago but these are the first pictures I took.  It's your plain jane Glock but it'll get some night sights soon and then maybe a Crimson Trace Laser Grip later on down the road.  I also have a 3.5 lbs connector that I'm going to put in (I'll be here looking for help I'm sure) to see if I like it.  If not the 5 lbs connector will go back in.  Does anyone make a replacement for the polymer recoil spring guide?  I know it's probably adequate but I'd like something a little sturdier.

Thanks for looking!

Congrats. I hope to pick up my new 19 sometime later this week when the paperwork comes back from the Gestapo. i picked up an OD one this time complments of GSSF. I only have to pay the dealer transfer and background fees. Shoulf be a nice compliment to my 12 year old G17. Hope you enjoy your Glock as much as I've enjoyed mine. Get a .22 conversion kit and a suppressor and have cheap, quiet, plinking session.

Congratulations.  A G19 has been my primary CCW for more than a dozen years now.  My wife bought me my first one and I now have several.

Enjoy!

Congrats on your purchase.  You now have a quality smokewagon!!!

Don't worry about the guide rod.  The one piece rods are good to go.

I have a strong dislike of the sub-compact dual guide rods, as I have seen more than a few go T.U.  Some folks like them, but I back up my G23 with a second G23 for this reason.

Leave the 3.5 connector in and get an NY1 trigger.  It'll give you a 5lb trigger with a very positive and fast reset.

I won't portend to tell you what to do, but rather what my preferences are.  I use aftermarket, preferably the Lonewolf Distributors, 3.5# connectors.  I use the standard, rather than the NY trigger spring, because the NY spring gives a revolver-like pull, and I just can't fathom going to a revolver-like pull in my Glocks.

Wolff makes a nice steel guide rod that asuage your fears about the plastic guide rods.  They're one-piece, of course.  

Wolff also makes excellent steel two-piece guide rods for the subcompacts, and there's nothing wrong with the two-piece steel guide rods.  I use steel guide rods in all my Glocks, both full-sized, compacts, and sub-compacts.  

Also highly recommend Agrip.  I just don't care for the feel of slippery plastic in my hands, when my hands get sweaty.
