Lastly, I swapped out the Glock factory sights for TruGlo TFX's and I really couldn't be happier with this setup.

I lover my G19 3rd Gen gun and I used it as my Duty Weapon for 10 years until my retirement. Having said this, I switched over to the Glock single stack, slim line guns and sold all my double stack Glocks. I found the slim line Glocks much more comfortable in my smaller hands and easier to shoot. I now carry a G43 as my EDC and I also purchased a G48 which I will also use as a concealed handgun. As a glock user for over 20 years, I can say that I will never go back to the double stack models! I now love my two slim line models!

Good points. In recognition of this being a 3 year old comment, Glock offers a MOS version of the G48 now. Also, the Recover Tactical Rail for the G48 is an excellent option.

The strength in the web of your hand plays a big role in pistol shooting. For someone with medium sized hands like myself, I have to stretch the web of my hand by plying with my thumb in order to allow my index finger to reach the trigger and utilize proper trigger control. While you could train around this, it's a lot of time wasted training when I could just get a pistol that actually fits my grip. No stretching also means that my primary grip will take way longer to fatigue giving me way better shot placement.

If you are torn between the G19 and the G48, a bit of extra info that may help. Hold each one in your hand with your index finger resting along side the gun. If you have shorter fingers, your index finger will most likely size up better on the trigger guard to the G48. Longer fingers tend to match up better to the G19. Why is this, because the thickness of the G19 needs more of your palms space to fit around the grip, therefore shortening up your fingers as well.

Hurt down to the bone and only about 200 rounds in. Bought the Wilson Combat frame. Went to qualify with the factory grip and passed with flying colors. Than started shooting the W.C. Combat grip.Felt much slimmer than the factory grip. It just gave me more purchase on the pistol. And my accuracy was much better. Be sure to try as much as possible different grips. Especially when firing. It can make a significant difference.

Used to own a gen 2 Glock 19. The grip itself was a bit thick for my small hands. But I was able to adjust to it for more than 15 years. It carries great since I just shove in between my stomach and my pants. It also shoots great despite the strange trigger. I noticed that the front sight shakes a bit each time the striker is released during dry firing. But it was still accurate. We did not always have access to fmj ammo. Hand loaded 115 gr lead was the usual practice ammo we used. The lead ammo sometimes key holes but the barrel was always clean from leading till the day I sold it. A few years ago, a shooting buddy kept on asking me to sell it to him since he considered it to be collectible. I sold it and eventually replaced it with a discontinued Ruger P9 series 9mm. It is still a bit thick for me but I don't have to worry about lead bullets and the front sight does not shake during dry firing.

So, for people buying Glock currently in case of a SHTF event, G19 seems like the better option?

I think the G48 would make an excellent military service pistol, here me out here: It's the same philosophy behind the Makarov. The G48 is Light, compact, reliable and inexpensive. It can fall into the roll of an infantryman's secondary weapon, who would appreciate the small size and light weight so he could carry more gear. It would have sufficient firepower for those who carry it as a primary weapon, like an MP. Finally, it would be slim and unobtrusive for an officer carrying it as a badge of rank. I really think there's potential here, and I'll be getting one for my own experiments.

I went to the store looking for a 19. It was recommended to me by my best friend (law enforcement). I had shot it before and was ready to purchase. The store did not have the 19, but had a 48. I went in, checked it out a like the feel of it that much better!

@@gregz1235 same state, same problems but I have one more being left handed haha. I don't think they will ever reverse this law. Not sure if it makes sense to purchase a g19 gen5 for being ambi when its limited to 10 rounds unless the weight helps with recoil but the aftermarket items are endless. I am use to the mag release on the left side as well as the slide lock. I bet they will update the g48 to be fully ami in the future.

How do you feel the trigger pull? Glock claims the 48 has a lighter trigger pull than the 19, a 7.2 OZ lighter. Is that true? How about the break distance?

I like the idea of a g48 with S/A mags for edc, paired with a G17 for home defense, road trips, and for scenarios where it will stay in the vehicle. Thought about it and a Glock 20 would be a great choice for this option aswell.

Try a few out at a range that will let you rent them. Get what you like and most likely to carry, practice with it as much as you can. Carry it with you everywhere you can, buy a lock box to store in vehicle when you can not carry it legally. Your preference means you will most likely have it on you when you need it. There is no right answer, reliability and whether you can carry it comfortably are the most important factors. The next would be can you hit you target with it.

@leecro834 жыл бұрын
The 48 slide is longer then the 43x. It confused me at first, but he just brought in another slide from a model that isnt part of the 19/48 comparison. I think to show the modularity of glock/honda pistol.

@cayman98734 жыл бұрын
Scootch. You make a lot of well thought out comments in your reviews and evaluations.. my favorite glocks are all gen 2 due to no mim and the underlying tennifer process under the phosphate finish. And lack of finger grooves. Even the extractors designed for gen 2 seemed to have far fewer failures or issues. Love my g20 and g21 and the most early gen 2.5 glock 31... When gock sells gen 5 in 10mm or 357 sig they may sell me newer glocks. I dont think 9mm is the best carry caliber. Acceptable, but not when better calibers are available that shoot and carry so easily. Love my shields in 45acp. Wow it a shield was available in 10mm or 357 sig i would buy those fast.
