I currently have a Gen 4 Glock 19 and bought the wife a 43. I love my 19. My question is what next? I had a Gen 3 27 and wasn't a big fan of it so sold it. I was thinking of a Gen 4 17 but am considering another 19 being that I like it so much. Whatever I go with I'll probably have it milled by ATEI with suppressor sights and a RMR. What are the forum's thoughts?
What red dot are you running on your MOS? I thought about a MOS model but I have read mixed reviews on them as far as the slide mill work in relation to fit of red dot. Could have just been early in production, not sure though.
Its always a good idea to have a backup gun like that. That being said, you always have the option to buy G23 with a 19 barrel conversion and mags. Like having 2 guns for the price of one. Which I like the idea of. Either way, have fun with the 19 and 43!!
Another 19, would be ok.
I guess another question would be are you looking at staying with 9mm?
The G-23 is the same as G-19, just a larger caliber.
The G-32 is same size frame, with more Zing.
Or You have a whole list of pistols, combos and calibers.
I would go with something different, either size or caliber.
The G-17L is a fun pistol for the range, and it is a 9mm.
But they are very hard to find. I have one, and it goes to the range with me every time. I usually take a couple of others, from 22 to 45, but the "L" always goes.
I was thinking of staying 9mm but not 100% against another caliber. Just don't need another 45 acp, I told myself I got to get to reloading before buying another 45.
As far as I know, the model numbers on Glocks are just so you don't lose your place while you are buying them all. Although Glock may say there is some other reason for the numbers.
I def like what I'm reading so far on it. My only concern is price and availability of ammo. I know reloading is the way to go. I have a reloader but after my child was born we got so much stuff that my reloading room isn't really usable at the moment. I don't have a garage, so I'll either have to end up getting a shed or hoping my dad encloses his shed real soon and I can take my stuff there.
I had a 21.2 (.45 ACP) in the safe not doing much, so I converted it to a 20 (10mm Auto) with a KKM 6" barrel. The 21-10mm combo allows many options with different barrels...45 Super, 10mm, .40 S&W, .357 Sig, 9x25 Dillon. If you hit the backcountry at all, the 10mm in a Kydex chest rig with Buffalo Bore 220gr hardcast @ 1200fps is a nice option. The mags are 15rds and my spare mag has an Arredondo 5rd extension for 20rds, although, I download one round from each mag.
Change the barrel, mag and RSA and you're back to .45 ACP or other cartridge that rings your bell. Nice to have options.
They are a pretty good company. Good customer service and good prices. They also habe PDF's of all kinds of different targets types you can just print out. In the last 2 months I have bought 4,000 rounds from them. 1,000 in 9mm, 45acp, .40, and .223 and never had any issues.
If you like the size and feel of the 19 I'd suggest the 23.
The 20/21 feels a lot different to me but I still like them. The 19/23/32 is still my favorite carry size though.
Do you pocket carry your 42? If so what holster do you use? I am looking into the g42 but have never pocket carried and don't know what to look for in a good holster.
Why not try a different type of gun? Like a 1911 or a revolver?? You have a glock 19 now, not likely to fail in any case. If you want to stay with 9mm there are many 1911's in 9mm. Otherwise the 45 acp is a great round.
What Glock next you ask? None. Unless it's an aluminum or stainless steel large framed longslide model in .357sig or 10mm, I'm Glock'd out.
I've got both a Gen3 G33 & Gen4 G19 for daily carry, along with a Gen3 G20 w/OEM & LW .357sig barrel, and a Gen3 G21SF w/LW 10mm longslide and a standard LW & threaded AW barrel for whatever suits me.
The above I believe renders my "Glock" needs covered. Owning multiples of Glocks has never been a thought for me, as I believe that I have enough of everything else to fill any void in "requirement", either perceived or imagined
Mine was not too accurate, it was a gen 3. That being said I'm glad I didn't shut glocks out completely. My Gen 4 19 is a different story, very fun to shoot and can still carry as well
My next Glock will be a 19c. After that I'm looking for something in 45acp.
