17 vs 19x

I got a 19.3, 19.5 MOS, 43x MOS, 17.5 MOS and 19x. If you had to get rid of either the 17.5 MOS or 19x, which one would you sell and why? I know people always say never sell, only buy. Forget bout that in this situation

Id sell the 19.3 out of what you have. 17.5 out of the 2 you are considering.

19.3 was my first handgun so that’s a no go. It has a special place in me heart but yeah I agree, I’m leaning more towards selling the 17.5 MOS

Maybe the 19.5? I am trying to recommend in a way where you still have a good bit of variety. To me, the 19x is the best Glock on the market. The only guns Id trade my 19x for is the P9M or G18…for very obvious reasons.

19x. Why have the longer grip with shorter barrel? The grip is the hardest part to conceal so you might as well get the benefit of the longer barrel.

The crossover 19x was intended as a duty gun and to be carried owb. The shorter slide is much more comfortable because it does not get pushed up into your side when seated in a vehicle

2

Open carry is really really dumb unless it’s part of your job. For iwb, most people agree that a longer barrel is more comfortable due to how it spreads the hot spots. r/ccw

Open carry is not "dumb". It has it place, when I am doing physical labor outdoors on my own property, I carry in an owb holster. When I am out and about in public I conceal. Both have their place.

Subjective. If someone wanted to fuck with you and saw the piece, they would act differently. Information is important to hold in reserve.

Because quicker draw and better balance in hand. I enjoy shooting my 45 more than any 17/34 ive shot. But personal preference either way.

19x is a special variant. 17.5 is not

I would get rid of the 19X. All the cons of a fullsize and a compact, with none of the pros..
