I finally added a G19 gen 3 (NIB) to my Glock gunbelt tonight. Been putting this move off for a long time. Have 17, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 42. Like them all but always felt that a 19 might end up being my favorite. Found a NIB Gen 3 at a really good deal this afternoon. Added Trijicon night sights and it's ready to rock. Will hit the farm for a break in as soon as the rain takes a break.

You have no subcompact models in your inventory. Try a G33 next, along with a G27 barrel if you are committed to .40SW. Get a G31 barrel for your G22. The wonderful world of .357SIG awaits! :)

For GEN3's I always needed to have a grip job done to fit my hand. GEN4 G19 solved that. Variety is a good thing. The G19 in whatever generation is a jack of all trades gun. Great combination of weight, size, capacity. Enjoy it. You will like it. It's become my favorite. It was awful close between my G19 and my G30. But think the G19 might be leading by a hair. Some things (going camping/hiking and wanting a heavy bullet) I like my G30 better for. But all around my G19 is my most popular go to Glock.

Congratulations on the G-19, it is a great shooter, and carries well.
I debated for a while, then went with the G-23.
I have found out that the gen2 frame fits my hand a lot better.
I have two gen2 G-23s, and one gen2 G-19, and a gen2 G-17.

When I purchased my first Glock I couldn't decide between a G17 and a G19. I finally went with the G17 because I thought it fit my hand better.
However, after shooting the G17 for a while I thought I would try a G19. It's a great gun and I know I'll carry it more.

I went full circle (a very large circle, BTW) with the G19.

25 years ago, I bought my first Glock (G19). Since then, there has never been a time when I didn't own and carry a Glock. A few months ago, my daily carry became a G19, again.

In between, my daily carry became a G27 (hated it), then a G23 for about 15 years (absolutely loved it), then a G26 (loved it), G36 (really loved it), G30S (really loved it), and then I went back to a G19. Oh, I have a G20 for the woods, a G43 for deep concealment when it really matters, and I kept the G30S for when I need the best "compromise" pistol there is for me (for when I need one gun to perform all duties I ask of it - woods defense or survival hunting, street defense, ability to conceal very easily and capacity, of a round that is quite stout, too).

What gave me the biggest sh..-eating grin on my face was when I took my new-to-me used G19 to the range for the first time, and with the very first mag, put 15 rounds into one fairly small, ragged 1.5" hole at 7 yds. I have never done such on the first trip with any other Glock I have ever owned. There is something very comforting about having 15 rds of an adequate defensive caliber, with that kind of accuracy, on my hip.

G19's are an exceedingly fine carry gun.

Shot it a little out back this afternoon between the rain drops. First 15 into 2" at 10 yards and right on target. Average for some people but really good for me off hand. I'm happy with the 19. Will work it out some more over the next few days. Ammo was Sig 115gr. V-Crown JHP. Will try other ammo later. This stuff works.
