The Glock 19 is a compact 9mm that balances size, capacity and shootability, making it one of the best selling handguns ever made.
Introduced in 1988, it is slightly shorter than the Glock 17 in both slide and grip, which makes it a popular choice for duty, training and everyday use.

Safety First
Treat every firearm as loaded, keep it pointed in a safe direction and keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Buy only from a federally licensed dealer, take a certified safety course and check current state and local laws before buying, carrying or transporting any handgun.
