What is your favorite 9mm Glock?

[Old Dog]

If there's anyone here that remembers my anti-Glock posts from 20 years ago... Both with factory night sights, point so much better than the Glock 22/23 I was issued back in the day. I have indeed crossed over to the Dark Side.

My Gen 2 19

The 19X also matched the exact shade of poop in my kids diapers when we started feeding them squash and carrot baby food….

LOL! But still…I like that gun!

Well, our dirt has talc in it, plus there's enough clay in it so you can play patty poop with your kids.

If I should get back into Glocks I would want a .22 conversion.
How well does that one shoot for reliability, ammo flexibility, accuracy?

@Jim Watson
Not a conversion kit but I picked up a G44 in 22lr for plinking and cheap practice and its been great. Same size and controls as a G19.

I remember @.308 Norma mentioning that he liked his G44.

Voted 43x but Im in a 10 rd restricted state or it would be the G19.

 

[Anchorite]

I voted 19. It’s the F-150 of the semiautomatic pistol world.

 

[SterlingBullet]

At the LGS where I used to work, customers would get excited by the 17L, 19X and 43X.

I find the 19X to be the most versatile. Although all of them are so blocky except the 43s and 48s It is like holding a gun made from 2x4s.

My overall favorite is the 43x/43 because it doesn't stab me in the junk when I sit down. If size was not a concern, some flavor of full size frame with a long slide. You can go pretty fast with those.

 

[unclenunzie]

Of Glocks, at the moment my favorite is a 43X which carries effortlessly in a Milt Sparks SS2 for summer. But I put a lot of work into cleaning up one of my gen 5 19s that came FDE cerakoted on the inside of the frame along with the outside. That smoothed up real nice and when it gets cooler it'll ride on my hip instead... If I am current on practice with glocks at the time.

My favorite Glock is my 19X. I EDC it. Great gun and shooter.

Make mine a 19.

Just picked up a gen 4 with a bunch of extras for a incredibly reasonable price.

Yep I'll just have to ditto this. Although I have moved on to something else, I carried one for quite sometime long ago. I still have it and she sees range time on occasion...

 

[JohnB-40]

G48 MOS for me

 

[Average Joe]

G17 gen 5. Use for steel shooting matches.

 

[Haywood]

I had a 21 and a 19, sold both. I’ve had my 26 since 2008. It’s actually the only semi auto I need.

 

[Show Me]

Once again I'm the oddball.
LONG SLIDE RULES
Favorite not most practical

Only Glock I have left is my pimped out Gen 3 G19

I voted clone but that may be misleading. The guns are really only partly "purchased clones". I bought a 22 kit and a 23 kit with all clone parts (complete guns minus the frames & mags). My son 3D printed frames (i.e. home crafted in lieu of purchased clones). I also got 9mm conversion barrels. Everything about these guns is basic/economical stuff, not fancy/high end stuff. Some components did not work out so I ended up buying more stuff than I originally expected. However, I ended up happy with 3 barrels and 2 guns for probably less than $700.

My primary use for handguns is making holes in paper at no more than 10 yards. Small group sizes matter to me. In my quest for small group sizes, I shoot over 6k rounds of my cast bullet reloads a year. I shoot revolvers and single shots more than bottom feeders. When I do shoot a bottom feeder, 9mms are nice given that losing brass is not a concern. There is an abundance of easy to gather free replacement brass at the range.

For my primary use, my favorite is the 17/22 sized gun with the 9mm conversion barrel. I can not get smaller groups from any other comparable gun I shoot (bottom feeder or revolver in DA). The 40 barrel for this gun was lousy, but I am ok just using the 9mm conversion barrel for it.

A secondary appeal, is having a gun that would be effective for defensive use. This is more about just having the capability. I do not carry and I make no effort to "keep things ready" at home for "just in case". The 19/23 sized gun feels nice, but my groups with it are not great (with either 9mm or with 40). I will shoot it for practice mostly with 9mms (again - easy pickup brass), but would feel much more confident with the 40 for anything more serious. So this one with the 40 would get the nod as my favorite "Glock" pattern gun in this category.

I also love my 43X, as well as my 48 (uses the same mags). I kept the 43X stock to be lighter to conceal carry. However, I bought Shield Arms metal mag release and 15 round mags for the 48 to good effect. However, I have heard a couple/few people had issues with them. YMMV.

Glock 26. In every other iterations it has better competition.

 

[The Happy Kaboomer]

NONE of them.

I’ve been running Shield S15 mags since they came out and mine have been flawless. I have 6 total and one has the +5 extension.

 

[Hugger-4641]

I chose the 17 because it just shoots better for me. But my 19 does get more edc due to the size.

Oooo! 5 round extension?!? Does Shield Arms makes them? Thanks.
