I agree. The balance, weight and control of the 45 is far superior than the 19 and the 17.

I agree with you but most people don't realize that if you get a holster (Werkz) that has a good "cant" you can conceal just about anything with minimal printing for us old school hip concealers.

Fact is the 19 will never be obsolete considering everybody has different hand sizes... & then they both have the same slide length so yea the 19 isn't obsolete.

Though the g45 has a longer grip, I find it way more comfortable than the g19. Something about the grip of the 19 thats just too thick/round/square but the 45 has that slight inward curve/angle that makes for a more comfortable grip.

19 uses both 17 and 19 mags. In a urban survival situation in the U.S. the 19 is the best choice.

A 19 is not small

The 17 imo is best for range time and home defense, where as the 19 is best for concealed carry and home defense. The 45 is great for the range, great home defense, and I’d imagine with a good holster setup it’d be great for concealed carry. I still think the 19 and 17 have their place though, but if you can’t decide just buy the 45

Aloha, thanks for the comparisons between the two Glocks.

Conceal-ability - G19 by a mile. Shoot-ability - G45 marginally and that depends on hand size. Drawing from a holster - again depending on hand size, the G45 “may” have a slight edge. The only factor that is objective is the fact that the G19 conceals better/easier! All other factors are subjective, even if most shooters lean one way or another.

you can cut the frame, simple as that, it's just a joke 👍

Using several Glocks, the full frame (G45 or G17) is fine if you carry appendix. If you move from appendix then the G19 is easier to conceal. G45 and G17 work the same for appendix, I've ccw both and I don't notice the 1/2 inch difference depending on the holster.

Which one do you think is best?

I can’t speak on the regular 17 or 19 but I traded my 19X in for the 45 mos and I absolutely love it.

Belly band holster bro. Holds 2 extra mags and it's comfortable

I am in total agreement, I"m not a glock guy (prefer walther's) but the glock45 is something unique. it's just the feel of the 45 that makes it special. I am a first time reader, and now a first time subscriber. Tanks dude!

My edc is a Stqcatto C2 and I have no issues concealing it. It is the same size as the 45. My next purchase is the 45. In the summer months when concealabilty is harder I carry the 43xmos. All of my holsters are We the People. I keep them canted forward and carry at 3. No issues at all.

i own the 45, 17, and 19 and though i love all 3 but you cant tell me the 19 isnt better, can take the longer mag, you can add a threaded barrel which will give it the 17's velocity and overall can just do more with it. i do think the 45 got more to offer then the 17 but 19 is still a GREAT gun. for a " do everything" "if you can only have one" hand gun g19 takes the cake.

If you’re in a situation and you need someone to throw you a mag, a G19 can accept both 17rd mags and 15 rd mags. There isn’t that much difference in felt recoil either. G19 is still the better choice.

Not by personal experience, but from observing various KZread videos , it would appear that it is not the barrel length that makes concealing difficult, but the grip length. In which case it appears that the grip lengths on the 17 and the 45 are the same so as for considering concealment, it does not seem to make a difference between the 17 and the 45, whereas the grip on the 19 is shorter hence better for cc, I would assume ?
