Help me choose! I have shot each and all are great, but which one to buy? I am looking for CC, but I like hi cap mags!!
Also Gen 3 or 4? Have not shot any 4's but I am left handed!
If you have to buy a glock the 19 will conceal better & it only holds two rounds less than the 17
JENN then you have glock 26 on a stickYou don't want one. You'll automatically become a jerk who thinks only Glocks are worth having. You'll also insist that everybody shoot it when you see someone at the range while telling the poor victim of your delusion that all the other poly pistols are junk.
My 26 is carrying 18 rounds right now. Just sayin'.
Gen 3 G19. End thread.
Go to the 23 (.40S&W) and also get the .40 x 9mm conversion barrel and a couple 9mm mags. You now have a 9mm and .40 for about $650 total. If the .40 seems a little too heavy on recoil just swap barrels and shoot it as a 9 until you want the 40. I guarantee you will never regret this deal. (If a 124gr+P 9mm will ruin somebody's day a 180gr .40 will ruin it and the day after too.)
I started out with a .357 then wanted to get into a semi auto. I bought my G19 and after a while wanted something bigger. I went to a .45. Since I also wanted the ability to ankle carry (old work place wasn't conducive to belt carry) I needed something a little smaller but still more bite than the 9mm. I found that the g23 has the same frame size as the 19 and I went that way. Sometime later I discovered the conversion barrels. As a result I sold the 19, something I swore I'd never do and used the money to buy conversion barrels for my 23 and 27 with change to boot.I don't believe in the .40 cartridge. Oh great, now I am gonna get beat up on this one too!!

If you don't like .40 now don't rule out how you might feel later. I've read a lot of articles about terminal performance and it seems that the .40 and .45 are less inclined to clog up going through multiple layers of clothes and still being able to do their job.
My main point is leave yourself all the options that you can for the money and you'll be better off in the end.
