Pros and Cons of glock 19 gen 3?

[85t5mcss]

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

Sausage fingers! I'm with you. I carry a Gen2 for this reason.

Pros-Everything Cons-Nothing really. Maybe a little ugly. But work trucks aren't made to be pretty, but functional.

I can think of 2 "flaws" in the G19.... the first is that the chamber is not completely supported. (but you can buy after-market barrels that are). second, the polygonal rifling in the barrel should not have un-jacketed bullets going through it (like my HKs). But that "flaw" is also fixed by the aftermarket barrel.... Besides that I know the newer gens were having issues, so I would look into a gen2, but i have a feeling those problems have been fixed too.

Pros - It's a Glock

Cons - It's a Glock

It's all about perspective and intended use.

i've never had a glock and know nothing about them. will the mags from a 17 fit into a 19?

Yes, as well as the subcompact 26. Many parts of the Glock platform are interchangeable.

Truly not trying to be rude or mean spirited.
Would you please quantify the "unsupported chamber" statement?
Every Browning based semiauto handgun I have seen has part of the chamber unsupported. The amount on my Browning HP is the same as my G19

Also, I see a lot of people say you can't shoot unjacketed lead bullets due to leading. Glock does not state in writing you cannot shoot unjacketed lead bullets through their barrels. Glock states, just like nearly every manufacturer, not to use reloads and only quality manufactured ammunition.

Now, do I believe that additional fouling may occur with softer lead alloys at high velocities? Yes.
