What’s funny is the Glock 19 is the “do it all gun” and things that claim to “do it all” are typically not the best at anything. G19 is a great gun. It would be a great first gun. It would be a great gun if you are only going to own one gun.
BUT the 19 is not a small gun for carry. Most people want a smaller gun. The 19 is not the biggest gun for HD.
G19 is a great gun, but I don’t know if I’ll ever own one since I prefer 19x or 45. And if the 19x doesn’t work for carry, a 19 is most likely not going to work either.
