Pros and Cons of glock 19 gen 3?

[pate]

im new to the glock world and wondering what some Pros and Cons are??

Pro/Con somewhat depends on its intended purpose, or what you're comparing it to. Defining that first might help get a better answer.

In my opinion, there are very few "cons" when it comes to a Gen 3 GLOCK 19. Great pistols, although I admit it is not in my regular carry rotation at this time......

okay lets say compared to a citadel compact 45. and it will be for carry/home defense

It's hard to beat a G19 for any purpose. I love mine and carry it often! The only thing I see that turn people off is the angle of the grip, if it fits you comfortably i'd go for it!

Didn't we already do this?

My answer from that thread applies:

More rounds in the gun, lightweight, less expensive in case of loss/theft/confiscation, and a simpler manual of arms which leads to simpler training.

The G19 is a beautiful handgun. I believe that the compact version of the Glock is an excellent balance of size for concealed carry as well as adequate magazine capacity and comfortable grip.

I have the G22 and G19. I cannot think of a con or design issue that I have. Now if you ask which do I carry the most, it is hard to say, I guess whichever one my hand lands on first in the safe.

 

[Captain Bligh]

Many persons think the finger grooves on the grip are placed too closely together for adult man-sized hands. I am one of them. I like the G-19 anyway.

Any flaws? Im not really a fan of Glocks but even with that i do tell anyone that is considering one that they are making a good choice. They are great guns and even someone like me, who addmittedly doesnt care for them, its not bc of flaws or any kind of functionality problems. For me its bc of aesthetics and the grip angle. If it works for you it will work for a lifetime.

there are no flaws to the Glock 19!

Glock Gen 3 can't be beat....
I picked up a new one today from a member here because I made the mistake of selling my old 19.... I carry a 17 all the time but the 19 is still my favorite. It's the perfect balance of size, weight and firepower... ad in the reliability factor and your good to go.
Stick with the Gen 3 or older models.

Ours Model 19 has been very nice. One of the magazines broke but it was the older gen magazine and was quite old.

Make sure it is comfortable to use and learn about the safety!!! The safety takes alot of getting used to IMHO.

The only flaw to a Glock 19 is that it is not a 1911 .45. Other than that, it is an excellent gun.

 

[boosteds13cc]

i have the g19 and cc it all the time....no complaints at all

 

[44 MAGNUM SHOOTER]

The only flaw to a G19 is it's not a G23..

 

[9mmfan]

Currently on my second G19. Stupidly traded my first one about 6 years ago!

Pro: its a Glock................Con: Gen 3's finger grooves don't fit my mit.
