I was asking  Red Dot Firearms for a price on a Glock 19 Gen 4. And here was their response:

 

"there are none that are available right now because the Navy has a contract out on him for about 24,000 of them"

 

Luckily I was able to order one through Ira @ Legends. 

 

Anyone else have problems finding em?

 

They were scarce for a couple weeks but a shipment of them had to have arrived.  They were offered to us on allocation by one of the larger distributors.

Not sure I believe the Navy contract BS, but RTSP had no Glock 19's in stock today. They did however say they could get the 19 by Monday.

 

So my buddy bought the Glock 17 Gen 4 instead. Actually he got the last one of those they had in stock.

17 is a much better gun than the 19.

18 is a much better gun than the 17.

but the 19 is 1 better

The Glock 23 with a 9mm conversion barrel is a better gun than the Glock 19 and a Glock 19 is a better gun than a Glock 17 (at least in this state), and the M&P 9 is better than all 3 of them, and made in the USA, but maybe not in this state with the magazine limitation.   So, stick with the Glock 19, but get better sights.  

 

I believe Ramsey had G19s in stock. 

18 is a much better gun than the 17.

The only Glock I'd own.  True story.

Well, well, my Glock 26 can beat up your Glock 19 and Glock 17 and Glock 18.

Of course the 18 is the one glock to rule them all. But 17 or a 34 still better than a 19. Also I personally would rather have a 26 over a 19.

Why to all?  Justify!

Interesting. One would think that the G19 G4 would be the one gun that was most readily available. Bud's has them albeit $7 more than what I usually see them online.

Probably because the Glock 18 is full auto.

Who would not want a g18? Everyone tends to lust after the things they cannot own(in our case legally) but IMHO I think the 17 is better than the 19. It fits MY hands better, I don't get the same rubbing during recoil on my strong hand middle finger knuckle. Seems most people get the 19 because of the mag capacity issue. I rather have a gun that fit better in my hands instead of a gun thAt has 15 round mags. Also the VP9 is probably the nicest gun out there that is similar in size to the 19. Out of the box it's just right.

Here's a G19 for sale by a forum vendor:

Oh, and I wouldn't want a G18. Fun for a few mags but relatively useless in FA.

If you put a 1911 and a Glock in a box overnight you will find a 1911 and some plastic shavings in the morning.

The only flavored koolaid I like ends in 11.

To the OP just get a commander 1911 problems solved.

The G34 is  TWICE as good as a G17

 

What makes the G18 so awesome is the little lever in the back

Why was the Glock 6 afraid of the Glock 7?
