From an accuracy and reliability/durability perspective. It's hard to beat the Gen 5 glocks, and the FBI solicitation would appear to back that up. Not to mention, you can customize the gun to your hearts content. IF you have even the most minor of issues. They are guns that do something particularly well over glock. But nothing does everything, at as high a level as the new glocks. Though a DA/SA CZ is a want for me right now.
Guys, the OP asked "which Glock" not "which pistol" to reccomend.
I usually recommend to people to go to a gun store and fiddle with glocks and M&Ps until they find a model that fits well in their hand and points naturally.
Yes, Glock 19.
Yes, the 19 is still the best "can't go wrong" option as far as Glocks go. I myself am a fan of the G45 but if I had to recommend a "do all" handgun to someone it would be the G19.
Worry less, Train more.
The Glock 19 is king of the Hill the way say, a Toyota 4 Runner is king of the USA SUV hill.
You can find a a better off road vehicle, tower, more luxurious, more powerful, better full time AWD, bigger one, roomier/more seating, smaller one, daily driver that rides better, better transmission, mpg, better spare location, etc.
But the overall cost, reliability, resale, overall jack of all trades and numbers makes it a
Just get a 4Runner and be done with it
Type of recommendation.
You can find a better 9mm for gun games, CC, HD, better trigger, better pointability, better bore axis, etc.
And as much as I like some other guns better, for both objective and subjective reasons,
But as a jack of all trades at any price, let alone its price point,
You will often hear,
Just get a g19 and be done with it.
If I was really put on the “you can only have one handgun for everything for the rest of your life” spot,
Taking everything into account,
For all uses, parts, mags, gear availability, etc.
A G19 gen5 MOS with threaded barrel and NS and light could fill ALL roles better than any other single pistol I have.
“Where weapons may not be carried, it is well to carry weapons.”
Now that there is a non-MOS FS G19 without the frame cutout I’m considering another G19 having sworn off new Glocks, and new pistols, for that matter. That setup with an added Agency AOS cut seems very attractive. Throw in a trigger and call it a day.
I do have two G45s and they are excellent guns but I would prefer less grip for CCW.

I swore off Glocks too and only have one now.
But i like the way the G48 felt and would like to have one with an RDS.
I haven't owned an RDS pistol yet.
I REALLY want one for my Vz61 but there isnt a good mount system yet.
