I have a Gen 4 Glock 19 and a CZ 75 D PCR Compact. If I had to have one and only one, I'd keep the Glock.
Why so? The Glock is functionally flawless, assuming you're comfortable with the Glock feel and grip angle (many people are not). I like the CZ too, but my issues with it are ...
• The narrow side is kinda hard to rack, especially in combination with the stiff recoil spring.
• DA/SA is complicated complicated to a Glock.
I love compacts in general, and I'd keep them both. If you literally mean you want the CZ 75 Compact model, beware that it's all steel, so it's much heavier than your G19, and even though it's DA/SA, you have to lower the hammer manually, which I don't like. On the other hand, it has an external safety, so you can carry it cocked and locked if you care to.
Anyway, make sure you also consider the PCR (aluminum frame/decocker), the P-01 (aluminum frame/rail/decocker), and the P-07 (polymer frame/rail/decocker/wider, easier-to-manipulate slide).
I'm keeping my PCR (indeed it's fun to shoot), and I kinda want a P-07 too.
