The Glock 19
The Glock 19 is one of the most combat-proven handguns with a proven track record of high accuracy and reliability for civilians, law enforcement, and military personnel all over the world. This tested and time-proven weapon carries 15+1 rounds stock out of the box and is known as a mid-sized compact pistol. The Glock 19 has versatile ergonomics, which many of its users find very attractive while also being very simplistic in its striker-fired mechanism of action. Although the aesthetics may be a bit bulkier than its competitors, it has been shown to be very accurate and comfortable to shoot. The Glock 19 has a half-inch smaller frame than the Glock 17, which makes it much easier to carry and handle for many people.
The Glock 17
The Glock 17 was created for experts who can handle higher capacity with a larger size frame compared to the Glock 19, and due to its unmatched dependability, ideal magazine capacity of 17+1 bullets in the regular magazine, and lightweight, it is favored by civilian, military, and law enforcement personnel worldwide. The GLOCK 17 & 19 - 9mm Luger pistols both have a recognizable "Safe Action" trigger system or built-in safety in the trigger, and even more so the Glocks come with a “firing pin safety” which can prevent accidental firing of the weapon if it drops from the user’s hands.
The Differences
One of the major differences between the Glock 19 and 17 is the number of rounds they can hold with a standard magazine. The other significant difference is that the Glock 17 has a shorter frame and slide, which contributes to its smaller size and less round capacity. One of the caveats of having either a Glock 19 or 17 is the availability of aftermarket parts and extended magazines that can hold anywhere from 30 rounds all the way up to 50 rounds, which are fully interchangeable between all 9mm Glocks (including the 19 &17). Generally speaking, the caliber, trigger pull, travel, and barrel rifling of the two weapons are the same as they have much more in common than most think.
