Comparison of the Gen 5 Glock 17 and Glock 19. What are the benefits of the longer slide and extended grip. If I had to choose either the G17 or G19, which would I choose? The Glock platform is awesome and affordable, so which should you choose and when is the Glock 17 better than the Glock 19.

The Glock 17 is the reason Glock is a brand. If I could only own one pistol it'd be the 17. If I could own two pistols it'd be two Glock 17s.

I’ll take a 19 over. I got the option for my Sheriffs office it be issued a 17 or 19 and I chose a 19. Especially because we are required by law to carry off duty and I am not going to try concealing a 17 😂

@HatsuneM1ku01 Жыл бұрын

The 19x/45 is better. Shorter slide for quicker draw for conceal carry, the extra half inch barrel in the 17 has marginal difference in velocity to were it’s un noticeable. And the 19x/45 has the extra 2 rounds like the 17. The 17 is useless and only exist for nostalgia at this point. There’s no point to own a 17 to me when the 19x/45 exist

Most of the difference in the 2 is pretty negligible. I personally prefer the 19. Maybe it's just a mental thing it just seemed to fit me and ballence better. On the other hand, my friend who has considerably larger hands like the 19x/45/17 grip size. There really is a glock for everybody. If anyone has a chance to try out multiple models, you will probably fall in love with one or the other.

Have you shot them side by side? Is there a noticeable difference in recoil or muzzle flip (for new shooters)? Is there any relevant benefit to the g17 other than mag capacity? Is the sight radius difference noticeable?

The preference for the G19 might be an American thing. Globally the G17 is far more widely sold than the G19, but that might be due to government or Defense procurements. In its home market Austria the G17 outsells the G19 at least 2:1. Then again concealed carry there is rare, and the Austrians respect the G17 for it starting Glock pistols and it’s role in the Austrian armed forces.

Something that I have not seen anyone mention when comparing the G17, G19X and G45 to the G19 is magazine "compatibility". The G19's 15 round mags are useless in the G17, 19X and G45 but not the other way around.

I have had a few 34’s, they are great guns and shoot great. If I were you, I would get one, I’m sure you’ll like it. My only problem with them has always been the longer slide length just makes it a somewhat larger set up, and I prefer mid to compact sized firearms.

I disagree unless you are a child. I have smaller hands and the glock 26 was too small. I ended up adding a mag extension to it to have my pinky have a good grip. At that point I couldn't justify not just going with a glock 19. Maximum grip is very important. I have been concealed carrying my glock 19 for a couple years now and I'm thinking of buying a 17 to concealed carry. More grip range is never a bad thing l, and with the right holster and clothing it isn't an harder to carry.
