I have one. It's a great gun and the one I usually carry. +P+ is fine.

Looking to pick up some 10 round magazines for the G19. Any recommendations on a website that might sell them less than $25?
Has anyone purchased Glock Magazines from The Country Shed before? |

You made a great choice, OP. Great pistol right there.

I will let you know shortly if you made a bad decision............
I just called the fun shop. I asked if they had a G19 in stock. They did, $479 + tax and BC. As soon as I hit send I'm heading that way. 
Would like to have got a 21sf. But I bought 2000 rounds of 9mm last week. And I have a feeling you won't be able to find anything for a few weeks if ever.

Glock 19 is a GREAT choice. I have two with night sights. They shoot great no matter what you runthrough them. +P+ is fine ammo!

I bought my 2nd G19 a few weeks ago in honor of the election.
May just buy a 3rd if the opportunity arises before the OPPORTUNITY IS GONE FOREVER.

Go to the ammo forum and read up on ammo choices. If I understood the tacked thread correctly, you don't need +p or anything like that for defensive rounds. Also, excellent choice on the 19.

Federal 9BPLE (115+P+) is an excellent self defense round. Proven time and again on the street.

Good carry gun. Small enough to conceal. High round count. Reliable as a toaster. What's not to like!

Anyone own the XS night sights? I am looking at purchasing night sights for my 17 and 19. I am looking at Trijicon or XS night sights. I am not sure if the XS equipped Glock will fit in a holster. Thank you

I had XS Big Dots and could not get used to them. I do like the large front sight, but I find I am faster and more accurate with another style of sights.
I would try out a few different sights before purchasing a set (if you have the option of doing so). If you go with the Big Dots you might get get a winner from step one. If you don't like them you can sell them and get something else (my set sold in a few hours in the EE). I also had no problems with holster fit and the Big Dots. |

<snip> i know a couple folks who also cant get use to em for some reason (i mean, its simply a meaure of getting your eye and brain to look for that sight picture/front sight/etc) and connect...oh well, YMMV I've tried the Big Dot on my Glock 26 for a couple months and about 1k rounds. No dice. I was not consistant in my groups as I was all over the place. I put the front dot on the target and lined up the rear sight with the front but couldn't get the results like the XS Sight video. I'm always tempted to try it again on my Glock 26 but I just hate to get frustrated again.  No problems with my Meprolight nights sights. Line everything up and BANG in the 10 spot or at least close to it .
Back on topic, the Glock 19 is one of the if not the most popular model of all the Glock line has to offer  .

I think I would do a set of Heinie Straight 8s over any other sight on a Glock 19.
I have Trijicons on my (well.... the wife's) Glock 19 and when some extra cash comes along the Straight 8s are going on there. Overall the Glock 19 is one of the handiest pistols you can own... |
