[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What's better than a Glock 19? (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 5/9/2017 7:12:09 AM EST

Been a dedicated Glock guy for a while, but I just flopped down into my chair and the G19 dug into my hip.

For a few seconds I thought, "Damn this thing, I really need to find something better".

What would it be?

A Glock 17.

Posted: 5/9/2017 7:19:25 AM EST

[#2]

Two Glock 19s.

Is that a clipdraw? Buy a good holster.

Another Glock 19

G26?

A Sig P320 is getting ready to replace a G19.4 as my carry. It fits my hand better and I shoot it better than the G19.

A Glock 19 with a stealthgear holster. I carry a g23 in a stealthgear revolution, it has never dug into my hip.

A clipdraw, trigger block gimmick and you are considering replacing a Glock 19?

I'm not sure a single one of your opinions on firearms can be trusted.

G26

I switched to a Glock 43 as my daily ccw. I still have my G19 and G17 but the G53 is more comfortable to carry.

What's better than a Glock?

Lot's of things: SIG, HK, FN....

Most customers like/ask for Glocks because that's the only gun they know or have heard of. When you start explaining the features and benefits of other firearms, it opens up a whole new world of gun choices.

Try a jmcustom aiwb holster

There's nothing out there that does anything appreciable better.

Not saying it's my favorite gun to shoot or carry though.

You don't need a different gun, you need a good holster.

It helps when it's actually in a holster.

But to answer the question, I find that in many ways the H&K VP9 and Sig P320c to run circles around the Glock 19. Each have their own strengths relative to each other, and all three are excellent pistols.

I own, trust, and carry all three.

How about a M&P with a safety....

Posted: 5/9/2017 7:48:28 AM EST

[#27]

For comfort, a Shield. And I do personally prefer the external safety, and would especially recommend it if you are just using a clip and not using a holster that covers the trigger.

I've been using a clip draw for going on 11 years.

Everyday.

Without the silly trigger block.

Am I going to die?

If you set any gun up with that much retardism, it won't really matter which gun

This. Nothing wrong with Glocks, but they aren't the only guns worth a shit, despite what the fanboys say.

It's not about tacticool effectiveness, his problem is that it's uncomfortable. If it works for you, great. It's obviously not working for him.

Try a sticky holster. I switched from an aliengear to the sticky, and i'll never go back.

Clip draw trigger block

Get a different holster, keep the g19

Posted: 5/9/2017 8:04:48 AM EST

Give the Shield a try.

Alternatively a 26 carries much better than 19

I like to practice with my carry set up.

How many draws, drills, and rounds can you do/shoot before it gets too hot?

I have a G19, 23 and a 32 with a 9mm Wolf Lake conversion barrel. That being said, I do have a Sig 320 and VP9 on my list of guns to buy when I see a deal (still kicking myself for not FO'ing on the $499 VP9 LE at PSA over Christmas).
