Get the 19, or just use the 17.

A lot of people want a tiny ccw gun. A tiny handgun is worthless at any range beyond 10 or 15 yards. My ccw is a glock 34. It sucks to carry, but my god it is a freaking ass kicker. I use it in IPSC and IDPA comps also.

I own the 17 and I find them to be very reliable and well made. Plus, I am comfortable with the way they feel and handle.

Thanks downtown. I appreciate the response. I do like the 17, but it is pretty large to carry. I have a galco concealment holster for it, but it is still noticeable unless I wear a baggy shirt.

How do you conceal the 34? Do you use a belly band holster at all? I am considering one of those too...any thoughts on that?

Inside the pants holster above my right butt cheek.

I carry a 5"1911 sometimes, the same way, and it is very hard to tell I have anything, much less a full size auto.

I agree that the G36 is the best of the small glocks. Not to mention it packs 11 rounds of .45 acp, or you can pop in the full sized mag and have 13 +1.

G29 packs 10 in the mag and one in the chamber also. The ballistics are in between that of .357 magnum and a .41 magnum.

edit: and i believe it's also possible to use the full size mag which would be 15+1

University campuses and the areas surrounding them can be pretty rough here in the States. I used to live in Las Vegas. One day while walking across the UNLV campus two men came up to me and lit me up with a can of tear gas/OC spray and proceeded to attempt a robbery. Thankfully, I fell back on my training and remembered I had a pocket knife...I managed to get out of that one, but it was at least two days of hell after that. Same thing happed to a friend of mine like ten years ago. Only he wasn't as prepared. I wouldn't go near a campus neighborhood in Vegas(and a few others around the city) without carrying.
