Overview
The Glock 19 is arguably the most popular handgun in America, and for good reason. It occupies the perfect middle ground: large enough for comfortable shooting and duty use, compact enough for concealed carry, and holding 15+1 rounds of 9mm. The G19 does everything well and nothing poorly, making it the default recommendation for anyone's first (or only) handgun.
Gen5 improvements refine an already excellent design: the Glock Marksman Barrel improves accuracy, the flared magazine well speeds reloads, the removal of finger grooves accommodates more hand sizes, and the nDLC finish resists corrosion better than previous finishes. The trigger has been smoothed with a shorter travel and more positive reset.
The G19 accepts G17 magazines, giving it effectively unlimited capacity for home defense while maintaining its compact dimensions for carry. The aftermarket support rivals or exceeds the G17, with every conceivable upgrade available. Whether for duty, defense, competition, or general use, the Glock 19 Gen5 is the quintessential "do everything" handgun.
