Glock 17 & 26 vs 19?

[OKCShooter]

If you want a duty size, go 19X/45

If you want the best IMO it would be 43X with SA15 magazines.

Well the Dicken drill is what has led to a lot of these kinds of threads all over the net...in most real workd self-defense cases an LCP or a snubbie 38 would work, but "what if" LOL. But there has to be some balance to the "what if". Otherwise you might as well carry an MP5 around LOL.

Well said, totally agree.

The G19 gives you the ability to swap parts with a PSA Dagger . . . . or I guess you could just buy a Dagger since it's basically a G19 clone.

I've printed a couple of G19 and G17 frames and have several daggers in various configurations.

Yeah, I am a glock fan and it has felt natural for years until I began branching out some; then when I go back to glock I have to get used to it.

I was talking about the 26 when I said natural pointing. It depends on how the hump hits your hand. The hump pushes the barrel down in most hands. Maybe not the 26. Hits me mid palm. No glock angle

Thanks guys, Obviously the 26 with the necessary mags/mods can cover about ALL of the needs so I could make a good argument for the 26 with the right options available (such as G19 mags as spares) as the real "do all" here. It can easily scale UP, but the others can't scale down. However, if you had a 17 too, then you have all bases covered and the G19 becomes an extra gun in the safe. BUT the G19 is "always the right answer" too, so I just wanted some perspective outside my own.

You can put 17rd magazines in a G19 and G26 but you cant put 10, 12, and 15rd magazines in a G17. A consideration...

Oh okay...for me holding the 26 is similar to the 19 because I prefer to run with the OEM +2 mag. Still not quite as large as a 19 though and u can always go back to the 10rd if necessary.

I think people with wide palms love it. Otherwise it’s just another glock that’s a hassle to learn to shoot well.

Just get you a Glock 69.

But to answer your question I find I like the 19 best. Pretty great all around. I really like the 19x too, and own one.

Shouldn’t that have another one under it facing the other way?
