got my first gun this weekend!
I went to pocono pistol range and rented a few guns, dam that was fun! Then ran to dunkelbergers and I bought a glock 19 because it was a lot more accurate for me when I tried it compared to the glock 23. I thought I was being a wimp at first but it does make a lot of sense that if you can’t hit the target what good does a lager caliber do for you.

Congratulations on purchasing one of the best all around handguns in the world. Your reasoning on accuracy being more important than caliber is sound. Enjoy and be safe.
Now less Glock, more H&K :)

Congrats on the new gun! I think you'll like the G19. The grip's large enough to make it handle well, but it's still compact enough to conceal easily.
I have a G23 & bought a 9mm conversion barrel for it a few years ago, which kinda', sorta' makes it a G19. I seem to shoot more accurately with the 9mm barrel than with the .40."It's hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

Re: got my first gun this weekend!
Welcome. Lurk on the forums. Read a lot. Take some lessons. Listen to some of the old geezers...there's knowledge to be had!
The best gun for you to shoot is the gun you shoot best, not the gun your buddy shoots.
Keep up the good work.
Take some lessons so that when you do practice, you don't practice bad habits. Then practice, practice, practice!
Cheers,
Scott

Congrats on your G19, it is a perfect Gun for a first handgun that you will never outgrow.
Did you get a holster for it? Get a holster even if you wont be carrying it.
Enjoy, Nyman

Re: got my first gun this weekend!
I was a Glock hater till I shot a G23
then my eyes were opened, and I ended up with a G19 like you.
If I had to own 1 handgun, for the rest of my life, it would be a G19 :-)
in fact, I'm trying to sell my P99 to replace it with another G19!
Like everybody else said, the gun YOU shoot best is the BEST gun for you to shoot.
any hit with a 9mm is better than a miss with a .45
IronButt....you have a G19.5 LOL
