So I think I’ve finally made up my mind. Everyone in my family seems to be joining the Flock of Block Glocks in 9mm. I’ve always been a fan of more rounds and longer barrels. But my current gun has the 3 inch barrel. And this will be a CCW gun too. So I have a few questions that I’d like to get answered if anyone can help.
1) Concealing a G19? How hard is it? From my understanding the length isn’t much longer than my current piece (like .60??) And I’m a big dude anyway. I live in Florida, so printing is easily done in the wrong clothing. Would it be about the same? I already dress around the gun. I just don’t have anyone with a ccw setup for the G19 (brother in law uses a 17 and he is LEO...so a bit different for him).
2) Thar extra barrel length? Does it help? 4 inch barrel vs 3 inch on my current.
3) I guess my biggest questions are is there a downside? Is there something I’m not thinking about. I like the idea of a longer barrel, concealable to the same degree (ish), and MUCH cheaper/available everything else.
I would likely just trade the old gun with accessories in, get a Galco hard IWB plastic holster (because I love my current one), and maybe 1 extra mag. Out the door I would probably spend $250 ish unless I upgrade to .40. But then...that may not be a huge upgrade from what I hear about the calibers (the performance increased negated by increased round count training and blah blah blah...not a caliber debate).
