Well, I have bit the bullet again so to speak. Got a G19 again this time in black since OD is hard to get around me know and this was the only G19 in my area under $600!!!!

I let one firearm go so I bought this + 100 rounds of ammo and still have $50 for more ammo.

I already had the X300

I chose the G19 simply because of features that the Glock HAS that others dont.

Ease of Sight Installation
Use of my G19 mags in my G26
Ease of installing new parts AT HOME
Parts availability
and I already have 2 conceal carry holsters

Just need rounds downrange and I am actually growing fond of the grip angle. Its sort of so different than the 1911 that I can switch between the 2 with less throuble than I could with the M&P I tried out. The M&P pointed sort of in between a 1911 and Glock grip angle and that made my choice lean more back towards another G19 instead of an M&P. Not bashing in any way at all just letting others see my views I have battled with for about 4 months

This shows the NON U.S. Proof marks. this gun was stamped for non U.S. use and has a Glock Inc. Smyrna GA stamped under the trigger guard since it was brought in to help supply teh G19 demand. Thats what I have found out anyways.............

Brian, congrats on the G19. I prefer the M&P, but the G19 is a fine weapon as well.

Very nice, dude! Do you plan to carry with the light, or is just on for picture day?

X300 is for picture day and some night duty after the G26 goes to sleep for the night :)

Looks great. I really like the G19. A few months ago I bought a second one, this time a new 3rd gen. We already had a used 2nd gen that is 'technically" my wife's. Now i have one of my own. :)

My first gun was a glock 17 that i went through the police academy with and ran very fine with no problems. I sold it to get a sig 228 and it was also a great gun, I then sold the sig to get a colt 1911 and ended up with another glock this time a G19 and love it, There is just something about a glock that keeps me wanting one, I think its the reliability and durability that comes with them.

Another G19 fan here.

Replaced factory sights with Warren night sights 2-dot setup. No other mods.

Carry in a FIST ultrathin kydex IWB with split-J belt loop.

Regular everyday CCW gun and monthly IDPA matches.

Just an FYI - anyone in law enforcement should be aware that Glock has a special discount program going on. I paid $389 for a NIB Glock 19 with 2 extra mags. The 19 isn't the only model available, but I don't recall what the other option was.

I just bought a G19 that has the Austrian proof marks and stamping as well... The hK45 is my SHTF gun but I just LOVE my G19 ..
