The do it all self-defense pistol

[JF_Idaho]

You Glock guys what pushed you towards the 19 vs 43x for a carry weapon ? Obviously more rounds . Was at a gun shop the other day and quite surprised picking up a 43x how much i liked it

For most of us (I would imagine) the 43 didn't even exist when we got 19s. The sub guys went g26. I wouldn't carry the 19 in summer though. Too big for me in a t shirt. Been carrying the 365.

I think most are saying that the 19 is a great well rounded pistol. Not the best concealed carry gun.

Springfield Hellcat is my EDC. Single stack dimensions with double stack capacity is pretty damn cool!

Glock 48. Basically a 19 but thinner

If you were going to buy one pistol for self-defense from in your home, to in the woods for the lower 48, what would be your your caliber and action choice?

I have had many pistols in my life. I trust my glocks more than any other. A glock 19 would be a good choice.

Didn’t read through the post but my vote is for the Glock 19 as well. Relatively inexpensive so I don’t care if it gets beat to hell. If it gets beat to hell it still will function. Parts, mags, ammo, easy to find. Good place to start In my opinion.

The universal answer to which pistol is Glock 19.

Specifically, a Gen 5 MOS with an ACRO and Dawson suppressor sights. Put it on an aftermarket plate, not the Glock plate and do it properly. 5.5 pound trigger, no mods. Mag well is a good addition if using +2 extension mags. Add a Surefire x300 or stream light TLR7.

Take a 3 day pistol class…this is critical.

Load it with Hornady 135 Critical Duty.

Buy a second one…

I wish the Glock had a grip safety.

So does Plaxico Burress.

Glock 19 or 43x are my 2 choices

I think that makes a 48 your one choice. It's mine for sure. 19 sight radius, 43x slim profile. Slide length has never been a huge factor for me in concealed carry.

I like my glock 19.

 

[mtwarden]

what would you guys load the 19 with in grizzly country (given this is a one and only sidearm choice)?

Buffalo bore 147 hardcast, though I've also flirted with the idea of Dutch loading those and a 147 JHP like the Winchester defenders I carry now.

Does it matter if you hold the Glock sideways?

Like the ergo of the P365 xmacro better than my Glocks but have the G29 when in bear country.

Asp look at G9s copper woodsman bullets

Glock 19

This, but Gen 5 MOS variant.

HST's for two legged threats and small to medium 4 legged, underwood hard cast for big and mean 4 legged threats.

Yup, I’ve had my g26 since 2006. The g43 came out awhile after that.

I need a gen5 g19, I saw today that the g29
Gen5 is out now.

I'll never understand why Sig doesn't offer the 365 with the XL slide & shorter, standard frame. I had to build one for myself & somebody is going to have to get reeeeal inventive to persuade me there's a better carry option.

To be fair, it took Glock 35 years to figure that out
