I find, however, that swapping out the stock trigger connector with just about any 3. Shooting a few thousand rounds with your G19 will also pay trigger-smoothness dividends. Do try it. This reliability has some consequences, though, as it derives in part from the lose tolerances baked into the pistol.
While in no way an inaccurate weapon, the Glock will have small variations in accuracy, especially at longer distances 25 — yards. While this variation is largely insignificant, the Glock 19 is not a perfect nail driver. If you plan to use your G19 for purely static marksmanship competition, there are plenty of aftermarket options for match-grade barrels.
Customization and Glock go together like Forrest Gump and Jenny. There is no pistol on the market with so many aftermarket components, add-on prosthetics, and design alternatives. Altering the components of a deadly weapon is no joke. Note the forward position stippling for support-hand thumb purchase and the frame plug…before I learned the folly of using one. For more maintenance advice, see this article on maintaining your Glock.
I find it to be a suitable and concealable EDC weapon for almost every style of dress, though I prefer a single stack for formal dress. The Glock 19 Gen 4 conceals easily under a t-shirt. The Glock 19 is no pocket pistol and so must be carried in a belt or shoulder holster. Though I find inside-the-waistband to be the best for concealment, I know folks who carry it in OWB holsters and find it conceals well that way, too. To that point, the Glock 19 is my carry gun, my training gun, and my competition gun.
The fact that this pistol crosses all of these lines comfortably means that I never have to fuss with a range gun vs. Pros The Glock 19 is the perfect all-purpose pistol.
It crosses all lines in pistol purpose. It conceals well yet has an excellent capacity and full grip. The dimensions are near perfect and the controls are perfectly conceived and positioned.
The replaceable backstraps allow for a more tailored grip fit. Cons Some may find the grip to be uncomfortable. The plastic sights pretty much require replacement. The balance is excellent and controlling the recoil during shooting strings is quite easy. It is neither too big nor too small for precision manipulations and keeping rounds on target.
The fact that the finger grooves impose a certain specificity to the grip, and it otherwise very nearly requires modification, is why I gave it only 3 stars here. The Gen 4 comes with a variety of backstrap options and there are multitudes of aftermarket components and accessories for this pistol. As I mentioned before, if the G19 is not the perfect pistol, it is the perfect pistol hobby kit. There is almost no end to its potential for customization and modification.
The Glock 19 Gen 4 is a challenger to every other pistol in just about every respect. There is no pistol that is so flexible and reliable as this one and I suggest that every pistol owner should own at least one Glock Excellent review Andy!!
I have a G 17 gen 3 and just put a G 19 gen 4 on layaway. My nephew purchased one and loves it. While I carry my 17 on occasion it is not an EDC. Still a bit more printing than what I feel comfortable with. I know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and I can honestly say I think the G 19 is one of the most beautiful guns made! Thank you again for sharing your experiences. Great validation for a fantastic handgun! Hey Jim, Glad you enjoyed the review. I have to believe that you have excellent taste.
I find the G19 to be an excellent, almost unsurpassed, EDC. Hope you find it to be the same. I appreciate your fair assessment of the G19 gen 4. My first one being a G 35 gen 4. Then after the recent terrorist incident in Orlando, Fl. An aftermarket 3. Nearly as much as my favorite range gun the G Again thanks and All the best.
As a novice I purchased a G Gen 3 May Absolutely not! Tho all glock are reliable. A little late with my response but hope you held onto your Gen III.
It is the best, imho. Just ask yourself why, in did the U. Why not the Gen IV? It had been out for 6 years. Most adopted Glock 19s, generation varying. Gen 5 is the best Glock ever made, by a small margin. Hi Andy, please help me. I work for the US Embassy in South Africa and we are importing the following for the South African Government, for them to issue us a permit they need to know the following about the Glock Hi Jaco, Your comment is vague enough to raise my BS radar.

I bought my first Glock 19 Gen 4 I have been shooting HK since Great review!!!
Nice review. There is a huge misunderstanding when it comes to the finish on guns made after the mark. First, the finish is completely separate from the metal treatment. The metal treatment is still tenifer…or a tenifer comparable substitute. The slide is still just as hard and rust resistant as they have always been…but the black nitride sucks.
It marks easily, It was a cost savings move. At all. As in 1 million round lots purchased from Winchester of their lead free primer white box ammo every 3 or 4 months. Sorry, but 80k rounds is just a bunch of BS in my opinion.
Firstly, to reload costs an average of. Did you keep receipts for all this ammo? Keep a log book for your training? No, right? Hi SerHaha, I appreciate the time you took to write your response to my article. I do, indeed, keep accurate records for every firearm in my collection and every round fired through them.
Nearly 78, rounds through my two G19s in just those 2 years. So while I appreciate your attempt to get specific and expose falsehood, publicly calling me a liar is somewhat less admirable and more embarrassing for you. My name is Andy Rutledge. Good luck with your instruction and range running. Hey John, Thanks.
Thanks for asking! Can you please share during this time is you had any parts fail not counting the aftermarket recoil spring. Like did any of the Factory parts fail? Any other cool info you can share for having such a high round count. Hi Joey, Sure. I several times replaced the recoil spring, trigger spring, and slide stop spring, and have replaced the extractor, magazine catch spring, striker spring, and spring cups once each.
Thanks George. You have to show the timer for it to be real bud. Also, the timer starts at 10 seconds and your last shot is at 13 seconds. Sounds like a 2. Thanks, Dallas. Perhaps the one doing the bs ing here is you another Glock hater determined to denigrate a perfectly good weapon and besmirch an honest man. Get a life internet troll. Great article.
Keeping it simple. I was carrying a Gen 4 Glock 23 for the last year and a half. OWB I have either a custom belt kydex that fits with my Streamlight on it, or a Shadow Concealment if not using the light. I used to use a Blackhawk Seeps retention holster but found it much easier for me not to have that retention when trying to draw quickly. I love the Glock 19 and Rom now on will try to always have one in my collection.
Andy, you mention carrying a single stack as well. The 43 I assume? Care to elaborate? Thanks man, great review. I had the pleasure of shooting one today and it just felt right compared to about anything else.
I think it will be my edc. Thanks Eric. Glad you enjoyed the review. Otherwise I carry my G19 and a couple of backup mags. I, too, find the G43 to be a good-in-the-hand pistol among single-stack nines.

The gun kept on running magazine after magazine, until the polymer frame beneath the barrel began to sag from the heat. The control arm on the full-auto sear snapped off, which is why the guns topped running. The slide is pretty much fine to use, accept for the tritium insert in the front sight, which melted.
