If the G19 is you primary, then I think it would be a mistake to choose a different pistol with a different manual of arms. A smaller Glock would probably be fine.

Good that they are seeing the light when it comes to using 9mm. However, is it just me or does the article seem idiotic?
A little point of reference....... WWII saw the largest, and most widespread use of pistol calibers history will ever see with its wide SMG use. There will never again be another conflict that can...
The most important characteristic in a self defense weapon is that it go "bang" when you need it to go "bang". Then you take into account terminal effects, ease of handling......etc.

I find that it is easier to put handgun calibers into categories. Mouse calibers include .25acp, .380acp......etc. These calibers are optimized with fast burning pistol powders, but can sometimes...
I was in the market for a new .22lr.......mighty tempting....
If it is for target shooting, pretty much anything with a brass case will get the job done. Avoid steel cased ammo as is harder in extractors and the bimetal bullets wear down the barrel faster. ...
Since when do cowboys drink water? Whisky for the men, beer for the horses.
I am going to disagree with the concept of getting something subpar until he can get something better. Why?....because it will take him even longer to get that optimal pistol because he wasted time...
Hah! Nice.
Seriously though, your ability to pocket carry is often limited by your body type. The dimensions of your pelvis, legs, and how much muscle or fat you have on your legs makes a big...
You wearing skinny jeans or something?

If you plan on sticking a pistol in your pocket, I strongly advise you to read this:

You might be best off with a S&W 442 or...
If it were me, neither. I have owned and used .380s over the years, and I would probably never voluntarily use one again. There are many 9mm or .38spl options out there now days.
On duty or open carry as a LEO, a Sig P226 9mm.
I only conceal carry when wearing civilian cloths, and in that circumstance I carry a Sig P239 9mm.
On the rare occasion that I felt like I...
I did a similar test between the 9mm and .45acp using a scoring system that would give the larger caliber a fair chance. I used a Sig P226 and a Sig P227 for the testing which are almost identical...
Yeah, it is more comforting to avoid MIM particularly in a heavy recoiling caliber. I might go for a mid 1990s 629 on Gunbroker......just curious if I should go with an even earlier year model.
HSTs are a fad, Doc. I will be going back to Winchester 9mm 115gr Silvertips because all this new bullet tech crap is just smoke and mirrors.
It's been a while since I owned a .44mag, but I'm starting to get a bug for it again for some reason. Most likely it will be for range use, but you never know.... I'm leaning towards a S&W 629 in a...
For two-legged varmints, you will likely be best served with 9mm. If you want something for 4-legged varmints which will likely be 1-2 shot engagements, get a true magnum caliber pistol.
I wouldn't trust velocity and muzzle energy levels as a measure of effectiveness. There is TONS of data on this website that demonstrate why those numbers mean very little when shooting through...
Having trouble digging it up, but some of the tests I've seen on the Sig V-Crown bullets do not look promising. They appear to have similar performance to old school ammo like the Winchester...
10mm is kinda in between the standard service calibers(9mm, .40S&W, .45acp) and the magnum revolver calibers like .357mag, .41mag, and .44mag. I say in between in that it can kinda do the job as a...
Yep, Nephrology had to learn things the hard way about not sharing personal opinions and pictures in the interweb:

Great video. I'm often too lazy to explain this information to new shooters, so now I have a handy video to get the basics across.
I'll agree with much of the advice above on getting the Glock G26 9mm. Regardless of what you decide to get, I strongly suggest you either get something in 9mm or .38spl(if you choose to go...
