ive been thinking about getting one and a local shop has a new one with night sights for $585.....do the ports really make a big difference?  what are the cons of it if any??

im just looking for anyone's take on the 19c

keeps the muzzle down on rapid fire, allows faster shots in a smaller area. It's a good idea

but does it really make that big of a difference compared to the standard 19?

im kind of thinking its not worth it to me, but im not very educated on glocks

the C models do help w/ recoil redcution/quicker recovery...h/w, for the regular 9mm G19, its already smooth shooting, and a "c" model is kinda useless (kinda like a .45acp 1911 w/a  full comp)

also, what will this firearm be used for? generally, imo, comped/ported handguns are best used for competiton, range time, or plinking--not exactly for a duty/defensive/carry firearm (upward directional blast of debris, powder, flash, etc are my main problems w/ em...no matter how miniscle), but YMMV

What are you going to do with it? If it is for defense, skip the C model. If it is for competition, then the C model will trim some time. Also, the C models tend to blacken your front sight.

in my experience the 19 recoils about as much as a BB gun, I personally woudln't bother getting it ported.
