Glock 17 gen 5 mos zanders7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() I was speaking with my brother (sheriff’s deputy) and he made a good point about not liking the Gen 5 grips over the Gen 4 G17. The table below should give everyone a better understanding of the size and look of each of the Glock 9mm pistols. We have a good idea of what each Glock looks like, but it’s still tough for those of us who write about them every day. We’ve been fortunate enough to have some of the highest-viewed Glock blogs online with our Glock 43X and Glock 26 blogs. Good luck! Glock 9mm PistolsĮven with avid Glock lovers, it’s difficult to keep up with all the models and exactly what they look like. A better comparison would be how each pistol would perform in different scenarios.įor example, which Glock is better as a CCW? Which Glock is a better home defense choice? Which Glock has a better mag capacity? My goal is to help lead you to your purpose for the Glock and understand which Glock will give you what you’re looking for. Instead, I thought of a different debate we could have for the two pistols. ![]() ![]() Photo: Justin Baker, Media Manager at CMG Glock 17 (left) Glock 19 (right)Įven before I researched for this blog, I knew that there is probably no way anyone can definitively say one of those models is better than the other. However, this perceived weakness makes the G19 versatile while losing very little capability. The G19 is the little brother of the G17 with a 0.67" shorter overall length and just under a half-inch shorter slide. I know 0.5" doesn’t sound like a lot, but the added length of the Glock 17 line of sight is easier and quicker to line up on your target, especially with night sights. If you like a more versatile gun, I’d go with the Glock 19, but I’ve found the long slide on the G17 helps me shoot better at ranges longer than 40 yards. The answer to both questions is: it’s all about your preference. There’s always a debate with my LEO friends and family about which Glock is better the G17 or G19? To me, this conversation is like asking who is better, Michael Jordan or LeBron James?

I have owned both and still carry my Glock 19 Gen 5 in my rotation of CCWs.Ī U.S. I’m willing to bet that there are tens of thousands of our readers that have had both a G19 and G17.
