You can both shoot at the range and carry with either. Most people find the G19 a good fit. If your gloves say XXL , then the G17 is likely a better fit.

I was torn between a glock 19 and Springfield 1911 mil-spec. Went with the 1911, but I regret it. I absolutely love the 1911 but simply cannot afford to shoot it as often as I want. Nonetheless, excellent choice!

Great choice! My first Glock was a 21 then a 22 a couple years later. Last purchase was a 17 mostly due to ammo cost and how much I was shooting. I couldn't agree more about finding a local IP and dealing direct. Most probably have both in stock so you can see which one feels best in your hand.

The Glock is a Good Gun for the money! It is reliable for a starting piece. I own a Glock but I still love my Sig's more! Still a good choice.

Check out Engage Armament in Kensington. They are good people. They are also an industry partner here.

ETA: and Engage holds handgun and rifle courses at their own range. I'm looking to take on this summer. I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Engage has moved to Rockville.
I bought my first glock 19 from them.

Check out GSSF, I just purchased a new glock 19 through the program. A new 19 is $425 and some of the ip's here accept the coupon.

Does anyone know of any stores around the Frederick area that actually have them in stock? I've found absolutely zero at any store in the Frederick area. I don't really want to find one online but I may have to.

Don't know of anybody that has one. My friend has been looking for either a 17 or a 19 for two months now.

Waiting for MSP clearance on my Glock 19 Gen 4. Was told it would be several weeks. Not expecting it to clear till late July. My 1st handgun purchase. No local places had one, so decided to purchase on GunsAmerica before the prices got even higher.
