Which Glock Should You Choose?

Many people shoot Glocks and instantly become fans. However, the big decision following their conversion to a Glock fan is which model they should choose. Here are the features of the popular Glock 43x, 17, and 19, and when you should use each one. 

17

The Glock 17 is one of the most popular options on the market. They have become a common staple throughout the world for civilians, militaries, and police. It is actually pretty easy to understand why this is the case. They are easy to use, easy to maintain, and deadly accurate. Plus, they are affordable. After you pay a relatively low purchase cost, you don’t need to worry about expensive maintenance fees. This is because they are durable enough that they don’t need much maintenance. While they may not fit easily in concealed carry holsters, they are perfect for when you want a reliable firearm for competition or sport shooting. 

19

Glock 19s are incredibly popular in the United States. While the 17 is the nation’s service pistol, the 19 is the preferred option among civilians. It is also the preferred choice of the US Army Rangers and Navy Seals. The reason is that it is just as durable as the 17. Plus, it is easy to use, easy to clean, and highly accurate. However, it is slightly smaller. This is because it is a compact pistol, while the 17 is full-sized. This makes the 19 better for self-defense options. At the same time, it is also a great option for people who want to shoot targets but have smaller hands.

43x

Even smaller is the Glock 43x, which still has a sizable magazine and is deadly accurate. While you can shoot it at the range, it has a much smaller sight radius, so it is not as popular for target shooting as the 17 and 19. Nevertheless, this option is the best if you are looking for a concealed carry weapon because it packs all the lovable features of a Glock into a small frame that can easily be hidden. 

When deciding which Glock to buy, you need to think about what you will be doing with your handgun. If you are interested in concealed carry or self-defense, going with one of the smaller models is a great option. However, if you are looking for extra reliability in a target weapon, the 17 is a better choice.
