Both of these guns function identically in terms of how their frames are set up. Depending on the generation of Glock you have, modularity builds will differ. The Gen3 grip tends to be much larger and has no modularity whatsoever. It also includes finger grooves. The Gen4 has finger grooves but it also includes four backstraps, two of which have no beavertail and two of which do have beavertails built into the backstraps.
If you have larger hands, these can be very advantageous. The Gen5 Glock has an identical setup to the Gen4 save for the finger grooves on either the Glock 17 or The difference is going to come down to the grip length. I myself have medium-to-large hands that are about average for somebody around six feet tall and I can get my hand fully on the Glock Somebody with slightly larger hands may not be able to get a complete grip with their pinky fully on the grip of the Glock 19 while they should be able to with the Glock The pinky is the strongest finger in the hand when it comes to controlling recoil, so it has the most leverage.
Some Gen 3 Glocks also shift with the RTF2 finish, which is a little bit rare, but that finish is arguably the best texturing that has ever been offered on a handgun. I really wish it was more aggressive.
The texture on the Glock Gen 5 is probably one of the gold standards in the concealed-carry handgun industry. Is it as good as something like the texturing on the CZ PC?
In my opinion, no, but it is dang close. The slides on all these Glocks are identical. You might have some variations that have forward-cocking serrations, but the depth of the serrations themselves remain consistent across all models and variations, making the slides somewhat marginal.
I really like aftermarket slides that have a lot more aggressive serrations. One of which, concelabilitey. He more than answered the question. I personally am not in a situation where I could legally concele carry a handgun living in California. This lead me to chose the glock 17 as I have large hands.
Imo both are as good as each other. I have the 17c Gen 4. Reduced recoil is important to me, because of physical difficulties. Shoot what works for you.
August , brand new Glock 17s, tested by my agency, had multiple failure to feed issues aka: jams. They had to be sent to Glock where they polished the feed ramp before they would reliably feed various types of ammo.
In all reality, firearms are mechanical devices and like any mechanical device, they can and do fail. I have an older G19 gen 2. I use for concealed carry and am very happy with the gun overall. It threw gr hard cast lead. But mostly, I used it for bowling pin matches. Unfortunately, after too much heavy recoil over too long, my hands, wrist, and arm were struck by arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, stupidityitis, which made it painful to shoot. I gave up serious pistol competition, but still enjoyed delusions of being capable of protecting myself with a pistol, if necessary, from man or beast.
I started experimenting with the Glocks. At last count, I have owned about three dozen of these, from the miniscule G26, to the G Even with my disabilities, I found the Glocks easier to shoot than the platform. My all around favorite is a Gen 3 G This was especially noticeable during long strings, at multiple targets.
I found the G34, with the longer sight radius, significantly more accurate at longer ranges, but also significantly slower at close range quick and dirty stages. I experimented with Glocks in. While a bit lighter than I would prefer for bear defense, a Conservation Officer I know, working in Northern BC, has real world experience with. For me, the big advantage with the. For maximum reliability with 9MM, I swapped in.
In fact, a Glock 9mm barrel in a. I added a. Accurate and flat shooting out to yds. I did own one Glock in. I had to shift my grip during the draw, and for long strings. This surprised me because I shot double stack pistols in. However, If I ever wanted another. So, in conclusion, I agree. After trying many many different pistols, My personal favorite is the G19, Gen 3. LAZ 1. When it comes to reliability with the platform, the devil is in the details. I have limited experience with the Glock platform, only about three dozen of these pistols owned, and only a few thousand rounds shot including the time I shot off rds of HOT Canadian Issue 9mm NATO BALL ammo out of my G26, trying to decide if it was viable as a competition pistol.
Barricades, weak hand, or quick shots at waist level, anything with the wrist not perfectly braced, induced failures. The G19s, G17s, and G34s I owned were much more reliable in these situations. In addition, when using extended length magazines in the shorter grips of the G26 and G19, the magazines may not be supported adequately, so failures to feed are more likely.
