Quote HistoryQuoted: I suggest the 19 BUT, a 23 with the conversion barrel is the same as a 19, and you have the flexibility to switch back and shoot .40S&W or even .357 Sig. You can buy a G23 9mm conversion barrel for dirt cheap too. I’m on board here |

Quoted: I feel like hammered dog shit (thanks little nephew for getting me sick, lol) and I think I should have one Glock. I’ll put a RDS on it, but I’ll let GD tell me which model any why. Now back to regular fits of coughing. For actually using? A G48 MOS with a Holosun a 507K ACSS. For general purpose, a gen3 G17 or 19 because there are decent chassis systems out there for a poor man’s PDW and hood aftermarket support. |

My first was a G19 (gen 3), my second was a G21, my 3rd was a G43, and my last was G17 (gen 5). The G17 is such a fun gun to shoot because of its size.. With a Trijicon red dot on it, accuracy is amazing.
Knowing what I know after years of having only a G19 and thinking it was THE one, I now believe that the G17 gen 5 is the right answer.

I have the G45 MOS, the only Glock I own, and I love it.
And I had at least 3 Glocks I loved to hate. Not sure if I'll put a RDS on it, because it shoots great with the irons, but the option is there. JMHO YMMV |

G19 of whatever Gen flavor floats your boat. As versatile as versatile gets.
And I'm saying that with my G48 being the one I consistently shoot the best with. I only omit it because the factory mag capacity requires aftermarket support to match the G19 and your red dot/light options are more limited. |

The Glock 19 is the best general purpose 9mm out there. Perfect balance of size, weight, caliber, capacity, cost, and aftermarket support. Small enough to conceal, yet large enough to properly manipulate. It can do everything, but deep concealment. It used to be a stretch to use it for competitions where a pistol with a longer sight radius ruled the day, but now an RDS can level the playing field. Compared to the 19 all other Glocks are out of balance. Which is why I honestly consider the G19 to be their benchmark pistol. Changing the caliber to .357, .40, .45, or 10mm, may not change the size and weight of the pistol much, but adds recoil and lower capacity. If you go larger, it gets heavier, with less capacity, and becomes harder to conceal as well as more recoil. Go smaller and you lose capacity and it won't be as easy to manipulate or even grip. This doesn't mean all other Glocks suck, it just means there are no free lunches. If you need a 10mm you can get a G29 that is nearly the same size as a G19. To get 10mm performance in the approximate size of a G19, you trade off 5 rounds, a place to put your pinky and add recoil. This is why I consider it the benchmark, because once you have the 19 you might decide that a G20 might be larger and heavier, but is more suited for the woods, or maybe hunting with a G40. Maybe you're more concerned with deep concealment and will trade off size, and capacity to get it. It's a general purpose pistol and when you perceive a need to focus on one characteristic or another it will lead to a different Glock with a more specific intended purpose. Or maybe no specific purpose at all because variety is the spice of life!
