Pawn shop near me has a 19C with a homemade stipple job that isn't completely horrible for about $370. I was considering it until I realized it was a 19C and not a G19.
My question about the G19C is, why? It's a compact 9. Why port a compact? An I missing something here? Why take the practicality of an almost service sized pistol made for CCW and remove said practicality by adding a feature that shoots flash and heat straight up? |

Meh. The 17 is a service sized pistol. The 19 is a compromise gun that does a lot of things well. Still doesn't explain porting it, though. Quoted:

It doesn't shoot flash and heat straight up. I have a 19c and regular 19's. The 19c with +p+ ammo has little muzzle rise and you can stay on target with ease. At that price buy it and someone will swap slides with you. You can also find a regular 19 barrel for about 85 bucks and have the ability to use it either way. |

I can remember the first time I shot a G19C at the indoor shooting range I used to go to. I had this image in my head of flames shooting up to the ceiling. I even asked the guy working at the counter if it was ok to shoot a compensated gun in the range. He looked at me like it was a trick question before he said it was ok.
I really had to pay attention to see any flames at all. Put a regular g19 barrel in it and you will more or less have a standard G19. |

I haven't ever had any issues from the ports, and it shoots flat. We tested this when I worked for a SOT by shooting mine w/ a conversion plate on the back. You could dump a 33 round mag on full auto and it just floated w/ zero muzzle climb. |

The 19C is not as impressive in affect as the 23C but it is still nice. |

Huh. Still seems like it would be terrible from retention. I normally rotate mine about 45 degrees when I shoot it from retention. It makes the ports a complete non issue. I've shot it normally and I just had some hot gasses up past my face. It was uncomfortable, but not a big deal. I don't understand why people love revolvers which have a huge danger zone and freak out at a ported/compensated pistol. |

I've got a 19C and 17C. Both are great guns.
No, you don't get a ton of flash at night. It's the same when I drop in a non compensated barrel. No, it doesn't gunk up the front sight fast. I've shot a ton of rounds in pistol training classes over consecutive days and never have wiped the sights down. Yes, I do notice if I have a C barrel in the gun or not. The C is very soft shooting. The recoil come strait back into the palm of your hand, instead of muzzle rise/ flip. They are a hair quicker back on target and double taps are a little closer for me. For $370, I'd fo. If you don't like the C barrel, you can get a factory 17 or 19 non C barrel off the EE for $70-80. |
