We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Congrats on teh new purchase!
Im also in the market for a new pistol and I think Im going to get a gen-4 G19 as well.
I have a gen-3 Glock 23, but I want something in 9mm and the feel of the new grips on the gen-4's are outstanding.
Also, you got yours for a damn good price! $445 cannot be beat.
Do all Glocks now come with three mags? I remember mine coming with only two.

$449 Out The Door!
BTW local GSSF participating member is The Armory.
It's LEO pricing. Anyone can get it with a GSSF(Glock Shooting Sports Foundation) membership. (new member price is $35. Still saves you overall)

Update-
Shot IDPA in Sandston today. It was fun. I am having some trouble getting used to the Glock.
It was nicer today though. I dropped in a 3.5# Ghost Ultimate connector, reduced power safety plunger spring, and a 6lb trigger spring. Next I'm gonna shorten the take-up and black out the rear site. (hate that ******* sight)

Gen 4 Glock 19 vs 17
Why it seems everyone prefers the 19 to 17 in gen 4?

Don't know... especially if the intended use is target shooting. I suspect it has to do with CC.

Probably because it's better for (concealed) carrying. If open-carry was an option here in Texas, I'd probably carry a G17, but a G19 just makes more sense in my circumstances.

Glock 19
The size of the gun is great for all-day Open carry. G17 is noticeably larger on your hip, even though the weight is similar. It is much easier to conceal, giving you options.
And most of all, with a loaded mag, G19 has one of the most perfect weight balances of any gun. It just sits perfect and aims where you point.
G17 most people feel is front/top heavy, and naturally points at the sky.
Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.
PS My G19 is also my carry gun (OC) so it is not a range/target gun. I was planning on getting the G17 till I held both of them.
PS- The G19 is not a compact gun, no matter what Glock marketing says. It is a standard sized gun.
The G17 is large sized.
The grip angle doesn't feel quite as severe due to the different hump, so it fits more people's hand better.
