Is the Glock_19 have a single stack clip? And whats a great, reliable high velocity rounds for the 9MM's?


It's not so much about "high velocity" round as it is how well the load out of the round works with your gun... Different loads are meant for different barrel lengths, etc. Ammunition is not a "one size fits all" type thing...

The Glock 43 is the single stack Glock 9mm, also comes in .380. If youre looking to get a single stack, I'd also suggest you take a look at the Springfield XD-S, they are all Single stack. I'm not a huge Glock fan, never liked the grip angle.

As for.ammunition:

Speer Gold Dot is probably the best on market right now for ballistics, Federal HST is another reliable, solid performer. For a standard size weapon you'd be looking at normal load out, or venturing into +P load out. For subcompacts they actually have load out designed for the shorter barrels, and usually they are a +P as well. When you see +P think "Magnum", they just don't say that on the round for personal defense because juries tend to think of "Magnum" as something scary, so they do +P.

Yes, that's the full-size weapon, it comes in a subcompact as well. http://www.springfield-ar...roducts/xd-s-3-3-9-mm/

They also have magazines that have grip extensions on them, if you find it doesn't fit your hand well.

I personally am 6'5 200lbs, and carry a XDM 3.8" 9mm (19+1 capacity), in a stealth gear onyx IWB holster, carried at 4oclock. You'd never know I had the weapon on me, even in summer clothing.

Go to your local shop and shoot an XD, you will most likely fall in love.

It's a serious conceal carry piece with no compromises.

What grip do you like better? Like the XD has? - I threw a talon grip on mine.

To patent the amazing grip design basically. Are you one of those guys that complains about two words on the grip but then owns rugers and S&W's with lawyer writing all over the firearm? I can't stand those hypocrites. I never really notice the grip zone words when using the gun, but that grip is amazeballs and I wish Springfield would bring it over to the XDs versions so I can spend more money.

I haven't shot a XD pistol yet, i thought about renting one. I have talon grip on my G43, even added the grip to my Taran Tactical +1 base pad. My Walther PPQ M2, i don't have any talon grip on it.

I find the writing all over guns pointless too. If i really liked a gun that has writing all over it, i would have it refinished to get rid of it. I think springfield would attract more customers, if they made a version without that pointless text on the grip. How long until we see Springfield add "This end forward", so customers know which way the gun should be pointed.

Hopefully not due to panic pricing.

Panic, whats that? I voted for Trump, its either we get nuked later than sooner, laughs....
 
No, I havent gotten a pistol yet. Im still looking into a CC class in the Springs, not sure if Ill have to go to Denver or not. And with Colorado being an open carry state, Im rethinking the CC thing all together and just carry a revolver.

Try to find a local indoor range that allows you to rent pistols. Try out compact semi auto pistols like the Glock 19, XD, XD Mod 2 or Smith and Wesson M&P 9 or M&P 9 Shield. That way you can see if you like feel of the gun.
 
My state if you do the Carry Class training using a revolver, you can only carry a revolver. if you do it using semi-auto, you can carry semi-auto or revolver.

haha you truly are a new gun guy. Panic pricing is always a factor with US elections now.
 
Wheel guns are so antiquated for carry these days. They only offer a single advantage of possibly being able to be shot consecutively withing enclosed spaces which would hinder the blowback action of a semiautomatic such as in a big clothing pocket, but even then it could very well restrict or jam the cylinder wheel. Capacity, weight, and maintenance is far easier with any modern semiauto designed for concealed carry.
