Convince me to buy something other than a Glock 19

[rj ︈]

Hey everyone,

I am the worst about selling and trading guns way more than I should and I traded my carry gun for a rifle a few weeks back. I have tried a P320, P365, M&P 2.0, and even a Staccato C2 DUO. I keep going back to a Glock 19 as just feels nice and is at a reasonable price range. Any handgun over $1000 is nice but I have trouble holding onto it when I know I can have a nice rifle set up for that price. A Glock 19 size is the sweet spot for me that actually seems to conceal better (with a quality holster/belt) than the 365s or Shields that I've owned. Would not be against trying other guns in a similar size and price range because as I mentioned before, I don't mind trading/selling.

Particularly interested in trying the midsize FN MRD 509 (15rds) and the CZ P07. I know there are others out there in the same boat as I am and always end up wanting a Glock for carry, even after experiencing more expensive guns. Really just wanting to hear what other people here think.

No. Glock is perfection.

I have the FN-509. Great shooting pistol. Also very fond of the M&P pro 5” series 1 and 4” series 2.

Have you considered the new Hi-Points. I’ve been told they are actually made by Glock…..

Actually, I second the vote for the FN-509

There is a huge number of mid size handguns available in 9mm made by quality manufacturers. Take a look at some of the German guns like HK and Walther.

Well you said the 19 is perfect in every way for you… I don’t see why you would even want to change if you like the 19.

get the 19 again.

Optic or no optic?

A non MRD model will be about 100 cheaper, but only one comes to mind for me. FN509. Installed the flat back strap and it's everything I've ever wanted in a carry gun. I went Compact as I can drop a 15 round mag when I want it and a 12 when I need more concealment

This. Get another one or two.

IWI Masada if you want to try something around the same class. I pick one up and I like it better than my glock. But I carry my STI Tactical 4 if that tells you anything. Lol

The MRD system on the 509 is one thing that was attractive vs getting an MOS Glock. I have a 19 plate from CPHWS or whatever that company is so it isn't too bad.

I may just go rent a 509 and try it out but that seems too obvious.
