I am in the market for a spring/summer carry pistol. I can conceal a G19 during the fall/winter, but would like a smaller CCW for the summer time.
I am 5' 6" so under a t-shirt- the G19 tends to stick out a bit- might as well open carry it (almost).
Was wondering if anyone had shoot these three and would value their opinion.
I will be heading to the range this weekend to shoot the G43 and PPSM2- not sure if they have the P225A1.
Thanks for the help.
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.
The 225 is the odd duck out of your linked trio, in that it's hardly any smaller in any dimension than your Glock 19. The P239 that originally replaced the 225 (before it was brought back as a niche/nostalgia piece) would be closer in size to what you're seeking.
EDIT: But, like Hauptmann said, if you're sticking with the G19 as your Autumn/Winter/Spring gat, then switching to a G26 or G43 makes the most sense for a summertime/NPE gun.

I have shot both the G43 and M2. I found the M2 to have a much better trigger, and easier to shoot accurately.
Stick with the 43 or (my personal preference ) a 26. The 43 is slimmer, but a 26 would use all the same holsters and mags you already have

I second this, get a 26. I'm also 5'6 and the 26 carries much easier than the 19.Originally Posted by Sigfan26
I have a gen. 2 G26 and a gen. 3 G19. They cannot use the same holsters without constant tension screw adjustment due to minor differences in frame dimensions. However, I second the recommendation to consider a 26.

What brand holster? I routinely carried my old 27 in both a DFH Joab and aFist #6 Hybrid for a g17, fist 1k for g19, DFH Zack, a couple Galcos, etc with no issue.

What kind of holsters?
I regularly shoot a G17 gen 4. My G19 gets shot occasionally. I did tryout my trainer's G43. I did not like shooting it. It was too small, recoil was too noticeable . Trigger did not feel like a Glock trigger. I never shot the PPS M2 but it gets good reviews on YouTube.
