Those are not the exact size as the Glock 19.
Speaking rationally, though, the Glock 19 and Walther P99/PPQ are within a few millimeters in size of each other, with similar weights and the same capacity (with the unloaded weight of the PPQ ever-so-slightly less than the Glock 19 at 21.5 oz. versus 23.65).
As a size/weight/capacity comparison, the P99/PPQ is a valid analogue to the Glock 19.
You too have encountered that in Miami. See? I knew it wasn't just me. Sorry you went through it. It took me a while to get an understanding of it.
Dinosaurs welcome. LOL.

If the weapon in the top right of the first photo imediately above is the PPQ, it actually OUTSHOT the Glock 19 - similar group size shot from twice the distance.

Higher bore axis is an issue, but so is precision.
That said, I like Glocks, but I like other guns, as well. (I currently a number of weapons, and am as impressed by my SR9 and SR9c as any of the striker-fired guns.) Different strokes for different folks...
I've seen that. I wish it was a 9mm though. I'm already in that dilemma with the HK45C. Same size as the Glock 19 but only holds 8+1. Curse the world.They did, the M&P45 compact, but it only holds 8+1. Why every single company making handguns has not come out with a 9mm and .40 competitor for the 19 blows my mind.
Then there is always the M&P compact in 9mm, many don't realize these are a 12+1 gun. Only losing 3rds compared to the 19 and its a bit smaller.
Here is an M&P45 compact vs the 19
I had the PPQ. I gave it to a good friend several years back. He was a south paw and times got rough in our area. That was when I bad 47 handguns. So I gave him the PPQ because I bought it from all the hype going on about it. I shot it and just didn't see it.My favorite non Glock is the Steyr. I have a PPQ and a VP9 too. The VP9 is just too big and I don't shoot it any better than the others. The PPQ has a sweet trigger, but a high bore axis. Having said that, the G19 is the best all around package IMO.
That's another one I'm looking at. The steyr.If the weapon in the top right of the first photo imediately above is the PPQ, it actually OUTSHOT the Glock 19 - similar group size shot from twice the distance.

That is the Steyr and to be fair I wasn't used to the POA/POI of the VP9 yet.
