Rail Framed Design is suitable for Tactical Flashlight & Laser Sight Attachment. Disassembly is just like the genuine real steel version. No review can ever recommend the perfect handgun. The best gun is the one you are used to, can rely on, and have practiced for many hours with. However, in my opinion, this two-round difference means very little for practical purposes. There are some who would say that, in a self-defense situation, you can never have too many rounds in the magazine. the only breakages I recall were the plastic sights, a slide stop, and recoil spring/guide rod issues. And reliability, out of the box, was much better than with the average untuned 1911/Govt. The reason for this is that a gun’s mechanical accuracy is generally less of a factor than how experienced you are using it. Face it, the half-inch difference between the barrels on the two guns is tiny in comparison to the skill of the person shooting it.
If you are looking for a handgun for concealed carry, but one that also handles like a full-size pistol, the 19 is a great gun. The half-inch smaller frame makes concealing it just that little bit easier, without affecting the way it handles. This is the perfect magazinefor any Airsoft skirmisher who owns a EU-Series pistol, and wants to spend more time shootingbefore having to stop to re-fill. FeaturesBoth weapons continue to develop, with the most recent models being the Gen 4 series. These are slightly smaller than their Gen 3 predecessors, though in all other respects pretty much the same. For outdoors excursions in Grizzly bear territory, I carried a Stainless Steel RANDALL Govt in .45 SUPER, with a 6″ ramped and coned barrel. It threw 180 gr hard cast lead .45 Bullets out at 1400 fps, and 230 gr JFP at 1200 fps. I personally prefer the Gen 3 G19, which has the features I like, and a well earned reputatin for simplicity and reliability. But my carry pistol was an older G19, without the finger grooves or rail. Simpker = better? if you consider GOOD HITS as part of the reliability equation, then for me the G19 was the optimum reliable choice.
I also have built Govt/1911 pistols that competed on the National level in IpSC, with my favorite match pistol digesting an estimated 30,000 rds of .45 ACP, with no major problems. A PROPERLY built 1911/Govt type pistol can be as reliable as any other mechanical object. But, any 1911/Govt pistol, out of the box, without professional tuning, can be an unreliable disaster. When it comes to reliability with the 1911 platform, the devil is in the details. In addition, when using extended length magazines in the shorter grips of the G26 and G19, the magazines may not be supported adequately, so failures to feed are more likely. This is worse if the extended magazine touches something during firing, like a barricade or window frame.

Though my preference is for the 19, I have no doubt that the long and passionate stand-off between these two guns will continue for quite some time. Recommended Reading These differences will affect which you prefer, but only if you are particularly large or small. For most of us, though the difference in size can be felt, neither gun is too big or too small.
Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 350fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.14j. Velocity
As a former IpSC competitor, I spent over a decade competing with truly PRACTICAL pistols. I made it into B class, and shot the Canadian IpSC National Championships twice with a customised DETONICS Combat Master. The Detonics Combat Master was my choice as THE BEST PRACTICAL PISTOL available at the time. I have owned three of these little jewels, as well as a few custom built clones using a Randall LeMay SS frame and a Detonics CM slide.

All that said, however, concealed carry is more of an art form than a science, and the size of your gun is only one factor in being able to conceal it well. Where you carry it, and what kind of holster you use, can make all the difference. In addition, your choice of clothing can really affect concealment. It’s for this reason that making a direct comparison of the technical accuracy of both pistols is somewhat useless. Both are capable of far more accuracy than I (and probably you) are able to extract from them. I imagine these are the same people who, in that situation, will fire off their whole magazine in two seconds, and maybe hit once. It makes no sense to design your self-defense strategy around how many times you are going to miss.
In reality, the difference in weight between the two guns is so small as to be impossible to feel for the majority of users, and the same goes for the recoil. I also found my practice scores with a G19 were close to my scores with a G17, while my scores with the G26 were significantly poorer. The main difference on the Gen 5 is that it features more rounded edges on the front, making it easier to holster and magazine changing is also easier with a thumb cut out at the lower front of the Pistol Grip. There is also the addition of an ambidextrous Slide Release, which is great news for Left Handed fans of this platform.When it comes to handguns, reliability is probably the most important criterion for me personally. So, which is more reliable — the 17 or the 19? For this reason, I’m tempted to suggest that the people who feel a difference between the two guns in this regard are simply imagining it. Reliability
