I've bought a used Glock 19 from Summit Gun Broker a few years ago. It's a great gun, accurate, reliable and (once I installed a 3.5lb. connector) easy to shoot.

Were I to do it again, I would buy a Glock 23 and an extra 9x19mm barrel.

I have a 2nd gen model 19 that I bought new in 1995. It's been a great carry gun. Shoots well.

I guess it seems that they work...... My shooting pard just informed me he has seven new in the box in his safe. He said "No need to buy one." Guess that decision was just made easy............. That is what this life is about.......Good family, friends, and having the sense to appreciate them.

Years ago I had a 2nd Generation Glock 19 that shot like a laser guided missle. Traded it off like an idiot. Recently I traded into two model 19's. Both Generation 3s. One has rough textured finish and fishscale slide cocking serrations, the other a stock setup. I will never trade them away. I tried the model 26 and it was just to short in the grip for me. I also tried a model 36 and had major jamming problems with anything other than ball ammo. Both the 26 and 36 got traded off. The model 19 is THE way to go!!!!

My Model 36 eats 175 gr cast SAECO SWCs with about 4.0 grs of W 231. It's a very light load, and with the eye focused on the front sight, you can clearly see the ejected case roll slowly out of the ejection port and fall at your feet. It hasn't jammed yet with this load, and I shoot it a lot for practice.

The only thing that I don't like about a glock is that they seem too small for my hands. With that being said, they would fail you.

The 19(C) that I fired had had it's trigger worked on, had Trijicon night sights. The ergos worked really well for me. I was astonished at the accuracy. Ragged hole at 10 yards.
IMO an outstanding, if uninteresting to me, handgun.

Shot a stock 17 & didn't do nearly that well, but it was a dirty, gritty rental.

I would advise anybody considering one to try before you buy. Lots of people gripe about grip angle this & that. For me it was very natural.

I wouldn't touch a Glock forty with a barge pole.

Just make sure you get a set of these for it and you'll be fine.

I was a Glock hater until I got one. My employer nixed revolvers so my beloved Chief's Special had to retire. The then-new Glock 27 was approved, so I ordered one and prepared to dislike it.

It won me over pretty quickly, though. With the Pearce Grip mag extension my pinky has a place to hang on and it feels great in my hand. The curve of the backstrap is higher on the baby Glocks than it is on the bigger ones and helps eliminate the 2X4 feel.

Mine is at least as accurate as my 220, and has never jammed. I've had it since around 1995, and have absolute faith in it.

Sprefix,

Have owned two (2), Model 21C (45 ACP) and Model 32 (357 Sig).

Know lots of officers that carry the Model 19. A solid gun, dependable, goes bang when you pull the trigger, a great too.

I have posted this before and will stand by it -

"A Glock does not have a soul."

Mine has more soul than it can control. Its gotten me out of some tight spots - whatever soul a gun has comes from the affection we hold for them.

I have some Smiths that have done nothing but sit in the safe and make some range trips. Those are the ones with no soul.
