Glock 19 is the baby bear of the pistol world.
Just right. |

Glock 19 it does everything the 17 does, but it is a little shorter where it counts. You can always stick 17 mags in it and have the same capacity as the 17.
As a matter of fact I always use 17 mags in my 19 when I am tooling around open carry. |

I had both
I ended up selling the 19 ,because with my gorilla sized hands the 19's pistol grip just didn't feel as nice as the 17's I'm more than pleased with my 17gen4. The only thing I added to it was a Ghost Rocket transfer bar |

Figure out what you'll use it for, and go to a range and shoot both.
G17- Bigger, softer shooting, more capacity, maybe better accuracy (due to barrel length) G19- Smaller, great concealment, very capable, accepts G17 mags ETA: I have shot both, numerous times, and I don't regret buying the G19. |

Has anyone looked into the typical differences in velocities between 17 & 19?
eta: We all know the real answer is to get a G18.

No accuracy difference between any of them from the 26 to the 17L. The 19 is probably the best general purpose 9mm out there. It's the best combination of size, weight, caliber, capacity, price, and aftermarket support. In my opinion it's a must have pistol.

The G19 is damn near the 'perfect pistol.' The G17 is a fine pistol but is too big to CCW and frankly offers nothing the G19 doesn't do better. If you already have a G19, sure a G17 might be a good option but one or the other? G19 all day long.

Very tuff call - I believe that a 19 is more versital and easier to carry.
I had a 26 - sold it and kept the 19. I have a 34 to shoot two gun with. Boils down to what you like and what you would like to do with it. CCW - go with a 19 Bed side gun - go with a 17. If you want to play any games - get the 17 and then get the 34 slide for it. Get a 22 conversion kit to practice with as well. More fun....Let us know what direction you go. Red

I have an itch to buy a new pistola. What I have my sights set on is a Glock 17 or 19. I can't really make up my mind. What is your favorite? Pros and cons of each. 19 is the best overall Glock IMO. If I wasn't doing a 19, I'd do a 34 long before a 17. Don't ask me why, but a 17 doesn't feel right in my hands, but a 34 feels good. If I do another Glock it'll probably be a 40 MOS. |

I tried the 19 two different times. I just couldn't get a grip without my finger riding in the space between the magazine and the bottom of the grip and it caused my accuracy to suffer greatly. No problems with either my Gen 4 26 or Gen 4 17. The 17 also carries just as easy as the 19 for me.

The only place where it starts to show its limitations is in competition shooting, this where the longer sight radius of the 34 offers an advantage due to the longer sight radius. The 34 with a light is a good pistol for hime defense. Having both is a good combination, because while the 17 is a compromise between the two it is a poor compromise. It isn't as good for a CCW due to its size but doesn't offer a significant amount of extra sight radius over the 19 compared to the 34. Getting the 19/34 combo is the right answer.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Quoting this for truth. I just don't see the appeal in the 17 either. It does nothing that a 34 won't do as a full size, and it's a bit too big for most to replace a 19 with for CCW. |
