@Ilir Cami A Glock dealer/pawn shop.. Also found a gen3 rtf2 on armslist for 500. But the Gen4 is nice as well. I had a couple different Gen5's loved the finish but dont like the beveled muzzle. I like the classic boxxy glock look.

EDC carry my stock Glock 19 Gen 3 for 18 years with thousands of rounds thru it without any hickups. It's been a reliable beast straight out of the box with minimal maintenance. Instead of buying a bunch of "upgrades", I recommend spending time at the range to practice. I would rather spend $300 on ammo than on aftermarket upgrades that often render your Glock UNRELIABLE!

Inherited my dad’s Gen 3 G17.. a great gun. He was a 30yr retired MGYSGT (USMC) and that was the gun he kept in his nightstand until he passed at the good age of 87. Boy, do I miss him. The G17, eats anything, and points like a good bird dog. I’ve done a few minor mods: lighter trigger spring, smooth slide release, and Trijicon sights. It now is in my nightstand and will be there until one of my 3 sons gets it.

Just ordered my very first gun ever and it was a Glock 19 gen 3! Excited to get it.

@Stirwood2 I like it. I don’t love it. I know it’ll last me forever & it’s a gun that can be used and abused but imo after shooting over 1500 rounds through it. The trigger is not very user friendly or easy to learn. Even with changing the connected to a 3.5lb pull it still isn’t as smooth as other 9mm pistols in the price range. If I were you, I would look into something like a Springfield xd9. My girlfriend got one gifted to her from her father and out of the box it’s 10x easier to shoot accurately than the Glock and I spent $600 in aftermarket stuff to try to get the Glock to be a good daily driver.

If I would have to choose between the Glock and the Walther pdp, it would be a hard choice, but I gotta go with the Walther. It's got the same reliability as the glock, it's got that German engineering, and you also get 4 extra rounds and a red dot cut. If you have $600, I would just say to get the Walther. It's already got anything that you would want to add to a glock. Glocks are awesome tho. I would be ok with either one at the end of the day.

Bought my gen 3 glock 19 many years ago when they first came out. Several "hot brass" from each clip would hit me in the face or go down my shirt --- happened with anyone else who shot it also. Dealer said I just wasn't holding it correctly and nothing he could do so I put it up in the closet and bought a sig 9mm and have never had a single problem with it. Ran across a video on KZread last week that said to put a gen 4 ejector in your gen 3 to fix the brass in the face issue. Got it out of the closet the same day I saw the video and took it back to same dealer who put the gen 4 ejector in ---- took it shooting over the weekend and it is completely fixed --- love it now. ALL brass flies wayyyyy off to the right now.

Thanks for the GLOCK G19 Gen. 3 review... much appreciated! This is by far one of my favorite handguns today!!

Nice review thanks. The Gen 3 Glocks are the latest Generation of Glocks that we can buy here in California. I have the Glock 22 and Glock 26. The G19 will be my next purchase.

This was my first handgun, will always have it.....it’s a good pistola.

I just ordered it. It is my first handgun. Thank you for the review

Outstanding review, one the better ones on KZread. It was so in depth that I subscribed. I'll be looking forward to your other reviews.

Gen3 is a little blocky on the ergos, but the trigger and the Teflon-like, frying pan, slide finish is excellent.

Very informative video. Thank you for the detail and for having perfect audio. I was on the fence between Glock 17 or 19 and this video helped me decide. Thank you.

Your video presentation helped me figure out which G19 generation I have. My Nineteen has "no" rail mount and came with an "non" captured and plastic or polymer guide rod. So, I have the G19 gen 2. Thank you for uploading this video. 👍

Great vid man. Can't go wrong with a Glock. Straight forward hardware.

@@jaytay7989 they aren't necessarily the best, just the most proven out of any gen. Though the newer gen 3s aren't as good as they used to be imo due to changing of different materials like mim parts and lack of tenefer treatment (though the nitride treatment is almost as good). Theyre still great guns though, just the older pre 2010 ones were a little better *imo*

I love mine. I can control the recoil beautifully, and I quite prefer the finger grooves and the stipple. It's better than the gen 5 ones for sure. I have a 48 mos with the gen 5 stipple, and I can see the difference. I can control it just as good, but it slips from my hands, and I have to readjust every once in a while. The only problem that I have with the gen 3 G19, is the mag release. I can barely press it. It's just too tiny and too angled. I've been looking for some aftermarket aluminum ones. They will probably make this the perfect gun for me.

When i was a kid the g17 was the go to glock but now that im older my favorite is the g21 but as far as a 9mm goes ive got to say the g26 is my favorite 9mm it will take all glock 9mm double stack mags

It's 2023 and there are a lot more options or sexier pistols on the market to choose from but I decided that my first handgun be the Glock 19. It only has 34 parts which is significantly less than the competitors. Less parts = less chances of a malfunction. Reliability ... especially in a life or death situation is key.

How many of you noticed the demonstrator went to the slide release BEFORE pressing the magazine release button, releasing the magazine? The magazine should be taken out first. Once you get the magazine out, you want to check the chamber to make sure there is not a round there. You can slide the barrel back while pressing up on the slide release to lock the barrel back for inspection.

Purchased mine yesterday put 100 round through it out of box with no problem, get my license soon.

Still have mine, and don't plan on ever getting rid of it, and it's had a lot of ammo put through it, and still no problems !!!

It was harder for me to manage recoil with the 17 than the 19 and considering I have large hands (wear size xl gloves) I felt more comfortable handling the 19. I noticed the length of the grip on the 17 had almost too much slack when I raised my grip on tail which in turn made my support grip uncomfortable.

Glock needs to call their generations “options” rather than generations which indicate a clear step forward. Some changes are backwards. Most of the differences are personal preferences like finger grooves and texture.

I refuse to put talon grips on and really don’t want to have it stippled. Guess I’ll have to use it as is or use a rubber grip. Bought an aftermarket beaver tail.
