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.
If you have an actual question, which you comment does not, please contact Glock, Inc. They should mark all parts with name and part number, plus send a poster with a picture of a Glock with components numbered to help identify them. This will help them and help Block with the sell.
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.
Only other competitor in my mind is the Springfield XDs 9. The G43…wonderful weapon. It replaced the G I have since sold the G After reading your review of the G19 I have decided to get the G Any idea when it will be available? Anyways, terrific review…80, plus rounds you must be some kind of monster. Thanks for a vertical good and informational review.
One question, I have a 19 gen4 and now own a 27 gen 4 which I put a 9mm barrel in to replace the 40cal,reason being more accurate with 9mm. Is hornaday critical defence good home protection and also getting confused about whether to use the same in 19 or as someone told me use critical duty for Thanks Joseph, Glad you enjoyed the article. You should be the only one to determine if a particular ammo is good for your specific gun. Guns can be finicky not Glocks, usually and you need to shoot a couple hundred rounds at least to ensure your gun eats it without choking.
But shoot plenty of whatever ammo you decide to carry so that you are confident and safe rather than the alternatives. Hi i dont own it but have seen so Much reviews telling That it is the Most durable gun That i dont understand why in the us Army it have not replaced the Beretta 92 yet. Please tell me if it wont Hurt a recoil sensitive Person with weak hands and if it have the same recoil than Glock Also tell me if the trigger pull is confortable for Small fingers and if it Can b really customized to Thank You very Much for your reply.
Hi Kevin, I think the G19 has very similar felt recoil to the G I find it to be quite soft shooting. The trigger weight can be reduced and the action made better simply with the exchange of the stock connector with a 3. However, the connector replacement does not take the trigger to 3. Hope that helps! While you guys are speaking WAY over my pay grade. I went into the gun shop, asked to see the Glocks with least recoil, the sweet man behind the counter brought out three…I held each one…love at first feel with my I was just about to get my LTC, used it, killed the targets in the right spots.
Great article! Perhaps if he felt so strongly about the lack of quality in the pistol why did he not change to a different one? AR is more accurate though I think. I disagree. The glock lacks ergonomics, decent sites and it now has an inferior coating since they did away with the tenifer coating. The PPQ has far better ergonomics, a great standard trigger far better than anything glock offers custom and Walther has the tenifer coating that the glock once had.
No comparison! Thanks for a very helpful and comprehensive review of the Glock The tried-and-true lessons learned and detailed practical advice you offer is most appreciated by this new Glock 19 owner and novice shooter.
Andy: Good read. Thank you. This is the first article I read that mentioned not to install the plug at the bottom of the grip. You make a valid point concerning malfunctions. However, I will reconsider not adding on my new G Wonderful review sir. I use my first Glock or first handgun ever yesterday 23rd of December before that it was a 22 rifle when I was with Cadets 32 years ago. First off great article Andy, I would hope to get over 20, rounds out of any quality firearm I buy without catostophic failure, and I believe most glocks could do that with out any problems other than maintenance , I may could see some problems with the 10 mm glocks at that high a round count.
Terrence, you may wanna try to aim at the top of the Bullseye top center? Hope this helps. Thanks Jason, Glad you liked the article. As for trigger, I find that simply replacing the connector with a good 3. Jason Just put my gloc 19 on lay away hope I made the right choice it has been about 30 yrs since I had a handgun and always went with revilvers Colt mag trooprr III after lots of research. I finally put one in my hand today and feel I made a good choice.
Thanks for all the information on this weapon, hoping I have good luck with it……. I really like the simplicity, reliability, and durability you describe above, but am concerned about ejection issues with the gen 4.
I have read of it before and have to believe that either a something else was a factor or b that was an early issue that Glock fixed quickly. I found a lot of chatter on line about this. Stephen, As I mentioned, I own 3 of them and have never in almost K rounds had any sort of ejection problem. Stephen, As I mentioned, I own three of them and have never in almost K rounds had any sort of ejection problem.
Andy, Just wanted to correct one thing in your article. We then have the slides Cerakoted to match by a factory authorized applicator. There is no way for our models to have Cerakote on the frame rails. I can tell from your pics that the Cerakote that was applied to your frame is starting to wear off as well. Again not possible with our guns as the frames are not painted. There are several other Glock distributors that are copying out models by having the complete guns Cerakoted.
Another quick way to tell is all our guns are Austrian made where as most of the imitators are US made guns. If you would please contact me I can run your serial number to verify. You can call me at at the office Monday thru Friday.
Thanks Jason, …and thanks for your time and phone conversation yesterday. Very enlightening. Outstanding review and very well written. I began carrying a G17 in when our department allowed the transition to auto loaders. Having carried a multitude of handguns off duty as a cop and for the last 25 years as a civilian and private investigator, I am returning to the G19 Gen 4 for EDC.
The reasons are in this article—no need to rehash those. I will add that dramatic improvements to defensive 9mm ammo is a contributing factor to my transition from the venerable. Thanks for the great article and fun read.
Thanks Mark. I read your report and purchased a Glock 19 Gen 4 last night. I only fired 30 rounds but was very impressed. This is my first handgun and I had additional help from the gun shop pro. Your report helped me make a very knowledgeable decision. Congrats on your purchase. I wholeheartedly approve. Dear Andy, Thank you for a great insight into the Glock Every trail I take leads me back to the G For competition only: How far can I go with aftermarket parts including recoil spring?
A failure would not be a life-altering event; just a competition loss. What can I say? I was a Beretta guy and stumbled along Glock. This pistol will not let you down at all. It eats up all kinds of ammunition and hits my target all the time. The cool thing about Glocks is that there are so many modifications and upgrades you can do. Another thing I like is that they are so lightweight. The Glock 19 is a masterpiece!
Outside of that, if you are thinking of purchasing a Glock Thank you Glock and the one and only Lenny Mc Gill. Best Glock 19 version made to date. Bought mine three years ago. Bought another one today. I consider the Gen 3 to be the best CCW available.
I've owned and carried this model Glock both privately as well as while on duty. I have competed in many competitions and training scenarios, and this piece of equipment has NEVER let me down. Use the 'right' ammo and you'll probably never have a misfire problem. Keep it clean as well as your mags and feeding won't be a problem. Remember, If your life ever depends upon it, you want it to work, on time and every time!
