So I had planned on ordering one of the Police trade in 226's in 9mm or a SA mil-spec but I was out on saturday at the local wal-mart(I know no flames please  )And decided to go to a pawn shop accross the street and what do I find Brand new Glock 19's for 375! I couldnt believe it. They are in fact the older model but I prefer the straight feeling to the finger grooves. So now Im stuck between 3 guns I am leaning toward the Glock 19 because of the locality and price but I still cant decide can you guys help me with some pros and cons.

I own both, a Kimber and 2 Glocks. I like the 1911 for what it is, but I will go out on limb (not really) and say the Glock is superior pistol. The Glock is lighter, safer, has higher capacity, is easier to break down, and is more reliable. The best most people can claim against the Glock is the grip angle. I find that point moot; as I shoot both consecutively without any problems. I like them both but I feel it is like comparing a Garand to an AR. The Garand is/was an excellent battle rifle (especially in it's time), but the AR is a more modern superior weapon for its application. |
+3 but a G19 for that price, GET IT!! |
