Glock 17 or 19? (First hand gun purchase)

[admin]

I’m new to this forum and I’m in the market to buy a 9mm (more than likely). I like the fact that the ammo is cheap and I can hit up the shooting range without killing my wallet.

I’m torn between the g17 and g19. I’m 6’3″, 220 LBS, and have a pretty big hand. And last week I completed the basic hand gun course (have fired a few times before). Anyhow, I had the g19 which is obviously smaller than the g17.

I know the advantages that the g19 is more concealable however I live in CA and a CCW is for one, difficult to obtain (and I don’t have a reason for it anyhow).

Does the g17 have better accuracy due to the barrel length? Would the g17 be better for me due to my hand size?

Should I be looking another gun? My other interest were a Beretta, and I still havent tried a Sig Sauer.

I’m looking to buy something before the years end, if not sooner. SO any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
