Glock 19 gen4?

I've posted this on here before, but I'll post it again. Probably the most rational blog post I've ever read regarding the Glock 19 vs Glock 17 debate:

I could live with a barrel sticking out. In fact, I plan to own a Walther PPQ Navy someday.
Getting back to Glock, I've shot both G17 and G19 g4s, and my mitts are big enough that I find the G19 G4 simply UNCOMFORTABLE to grip and shoot. So, I bought the G17. YMMV...

Oops... you quoted me before I finished editing my post
People with small hands like the grip of the G19 better. Some complain about the "hump" at the bottom back of the G17, which isn't really there on the G19.

I see no point in the 19 other than it's popular in the U.S. but with a non Glock barrel it's not all stock and not for me
Got one, I did not care for full size P226, didn't care much about Sig in general really...until I got one of these, fits me like it was a part of my hand...sold my glock 17 after that, the glock was a great tool, but this is is just
something else, you'll know when you find something that fits you.
Yeah? I haven't fired it yet. To be honest it feels like home in my hand compared to a full size 226 but I can't figure out if I want beauty (mine is a stainless elite) over form. In the end I can't keep both! How does yours shoot? I haven't seen any range reports with the canadian length barrel yet but the american vids, accuracy usually beats out the 226 even with the shorter barrel and shorter sights.
the 106mm barrels offered by Lone Wolf Barrels stick out less out of a G19 that the extended barrel out of the Sig 229.
If no one in Canada has one, get a G19 from Irunguns, buy a 106mm barrel and they can do the switch and registration prior to importation into Canada.
Questar used to offer G19's with Lone Wolf Barrel.
The G19 is a very size efficient gun.

Great suggestion! If your hands are small enough to make that g19 grip work, it's a great gun and that barrel is closer to flush than the sig.
I've owned a gen3 G17 for many years and it's been problem free thru thousands of rounds. Sure, I have other more expensive and prettier HG's but the G17 is a workhorse and shows little wear….one of my "never sells".
My buddy recently picked up a gen3 G19 and I've had a bit of trigger time with it. While it shot great the G19 felt too small in my hands and personally I prefer the "looks" of Glock's iconic G17.
If I could CC the G19 without the threaded bbl I would own one…..JMHO.

The point is that the G19 feels very different in the hand than the G17. If you have small hands the G19 is much, much better. The G17 always felt like a 2x4 in my hands where my G19 feels nearly perfect.
What threaded barrel? 106mm Lone Wolf barrel on mine:
+1, the G19 is way better in my hands as well.

Hickok45 anyone...? ... Massive bloke with huge hands... Loves G19. Has tones of videos debunking the small hand thing. If you guys lived in the states you'd own a G19 over a 17... Ya just would
That being said, I've owned two G17's one a gen3 one a gen4. I love em! Planning on getting another... Or maybe a G19! One never can tell!
