Oh great Glock Gods I require advice.....

Get the 19! I agree. great size for everything you will want to need to do with it, high capacity, accurate, well balanced, and good enough size for carry anytime. IMHO they are the best handgun ever made by glock.

I had this issue and went with the 17. For pure CCW I would go with the 19. For no CCW I would go with the 34. For winter carry only the 17 is fine. It is about the same size as my dad's Kimber Pro Carry but with a bigger sight radius and slightly longer barrel.

Perhaps an illustration will help?

I think the 17 would be the ideal choice for a full size handgun. I would also ditch the Taurus and get yourself a 26 so you can standardize on mags and parts.

Skwab, I can do the same, at the range. I've owned Glocks for years and have alternated shooting them at the range with my other guns. And yes, I can shoot the Glocks just fine in that senario. But, in a defensive situation, you probably won't ever see your sights.

There isn't that much difference, but it is enough to throw off point shooting. Try it. Go to a range where they let you do draw fire, and close your eyes with your gun in a holster, draw and fire from the hip with a Glock and most any other brand gun. You will see what I'm talking about. I did this test with 4 guys and each of us had a spread of 6-8" up to well over a foot at 5yds. Just try it dry fire and you should see the difference in muzzle height.

The GLOCK 19 is their best all round pistol. It balances well, points quickly, has very little felt recoil, and conceals well. One of the best all-round pistols since the S&W model 13 revolver the FBI use to carry.

I agree the 19 is their crowning achievement. I'd recommend it. Also, though you didn't ask this, I agree with Oldskool... find a way to replace your Taurus with the G26. Lots of advantages there.

I Agree with creature get a sig look at the Sp 2022 its sig's best kept secret

19 is what you seek.

 

[Arthur2001]

1- The balance of the dimensions of G 19 is perfect. So I may easily say that among Glock familiy, G 19 is the handsome one.

2- G 19 is quite easy to conceal with enough rounds inside (15+1)

You may think is this way, there are a lot of Porche 911, 928, 944 etc.. But most beatiful is 911. And the Glock's 911 is Glock 19..

The best advise I can give you is just don't buy a hand grenade..I mean Glock. Go with an XD
