I shoot my 17 and 34 (which share the same sized frame) much better than any of my other Glocks.

I have both the 17 and the 19. The 19 is damn near the perfect handgun package. I do however prefer shooting the 17. The slight grip difference feels better to me.

Also the same. But I got a G19 first. The reason is simply that I wanted the more concealable package for carry. The range rental trip where I got to try a 17, 19 and 26 showed me that I shoot a 17 best, followed by the 19 and 26. The 26 pinched the bejesus out of my finger between the frame and the baseplate with every shot, so it go dropped from the running at the start, but now that I have three G19's and a G17, a G26 is starting to make sense again.

I liked the Gen 2 19 so much I picked up a Gen 1 17 a few months later. I carry it during winter months when I can pile on layers. It really came down mostly to size. That said, there's plenty of folks who CC full frame Glocks with no issue whatsoever. But I do absolutely love the way my 19 disappears from view with a good IWB holster. Either way, Bendable, you can't go wrong.

The only G19 I liked and kept was the Gen 2.
The Gen 3 and 4 finger grooves don't work for me on a compact Glock.
I have no issues with the finger grooves on my full size and sub-compact.

Although I don't carry any of the above (except the G22 with a G31 barrel in a Miami Classic in cold weather), I prefer my G26 or G33 for EDC.
The Gap Finger Rest Extensions help rid of the dreaded sub-compact finger pinch.

And on another Glock note, it seems GAP is working on G42 and G43 finger rests..

I didn't care for the G19 model on my Gen 2..

I've put on an extended slide release and larger magazine release. Is an aftermarket trigger something I should look at for a EDC G19?

Perhaps swap in a smooth trigger from a G17 if the serrated trigger irritates your finger. Personally, I don't see a need for any of the aftermarket triggers that seem to be all the rage lately. Again, that is my opinion, others are free to modify their gun(s) as they see fit.

I tend to agree with Phred..
Other than sights, a 25 cent polish, and a smooth faced OEM G17 trigger, my G19, G26 and G33 are stock.

G17 smooth trigger and nothing else.

I listen to Mas. My defensive firearms for HD and carry (shtf excluded) the triggers remain stock.

Two comments from this guy; number one in regard to triggers, for me, it's just not worth the chance of reducing a trigger weight. If there is even a small chance I will end up using a gun in a SD shooting, I don't want add additional 'facts'

Of course, just by nature of being on this forum, and having been a member of IDPA I've got two items stacked against me. Prosecuting attorneys will twist the truth, it's just the way it is.

Second in regard to "You will buy a Glock" LOL, I'm sure I stated a hundred pages back or so that I have come full circle three times. This time has been the worst as I'm now up to four Glocks: 19, 34, 42 and 43 plus a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 that uses Glock mags!

More and more I find the only guns I shoot though are the 34, the 43 and the S2k.

For your gun i would look at what you have done already, polish up all internals, switch to a smooth trigger with a Gen 3 trigger bar, and then try a OEM Glock minus connector (also polished).

I'm gonna try a smooth 17 trigger face in my 19, but I chose the 19 for the smaller size since it can take the 17 and larger magazines anyway.

For me going from a HK P7 with an excellent trigger to the G19 with its not so excellent trigger, changed out the connector. Tried a handful connectors, the Ghost Evo is the ticket for me. Rolling smooth break similar to the P7. YMMV

Other changes. Undercut the trigger guard, Ameriglo I Dot sights, steel guide rod.

Put about 4K rounds through it so far. The more I shoot it, the more I appreciate the design... low bore axis, frame wider then the slide for a high grip, goes bang every time.... G19 is the perfect size CCW pistol for me....

A friend once told me, Glocks are cheap and reliable , put one in every room in your house. Not sure about the every room idea. Have since picked another G19 Gen 3, most likely get one or two more.
