I appreciate the comments. I’ve already shot a 17, 19, and 45. I liked the way the 17 fit my hand. I’m a big fella, and won’t have any problem concealing the 17. I carried a Beretta 92fs for several years.... Which means your going to leave it in your vehicle or at home like the berreta 92.doesnt matter how big you are your not carrying a berreta 92 all day everyday.i bet.hey go buy one you got it all figured out Got any good stock market tips while you’re at it? Didn’t think so. I’ll just keep being me, and life will continue to be good as it has been.  Just trying to save you some money for 3 yrs from now when you decide to get something smaller you'll get more use out of.been down that road but hey when you get ready to trade it hit me up I might be needing a idpa match gun 👍

Well it's a joke in the gun world.alot of so called gun Smith's are merely gun spray painters cause they think applying cerakote makes them a gunsmith .it's easier faster to apply than hot blue or parkerizing also and affordable compared to nitrided and I believe nitriding comes with EPA regs . i have a cerakoted custom rifle and in no way is cerakote better than a nitrided finish regardless of what they call their version melonite/tenifer/nitrided ..cerakote it's spray paint it can wear off and scuff up and I'll agree it's the best finish that a small shop can apply it is very durable on non friction moving parts but not good as surface hardened treated with nitride.cerakote is used on some factory guns so it's good stuff but my point I wouldn't want it on something that was holstered everyday or gets used hard regularly or I cared what it looked like in 5 years that's where any non spray paint true chemically bonded finish will do better You're right in regards to it not being nitride coatings....Anyone who thinks it is, is delusional. That said, anyone who who thinks nitride/tenifer/melonite is the be all end all, after seeing what can destroy it, is just as delusional. I have seen it's weakness, I have also seen what cerakote can and cannot do. Bluing comes with EPA regs too. I had to sign a statement saying I would NOT being bluing anything without filing a disposal plan with the EPA. Wish I had room for a bluing tank set up though.

I conceal carried full sized Beretta 92s, 1911s, HiPowers, Glock 17s, and SIG M11/228s and 229s for years and years, here and abroad. Some places I ‘should not’ have carried, due to host nation (or US state) policies, etc. Sure, it’s easier to carry and conceal smaller and lighter stuff. it’s more about need and mindset than worrying about wishes or what is easier.

Both have a strength and weakness for sure both are great and best two things going for durability

I had a gen 3 and loved it but the back straps on the gen 4 were worth the upgrade. I’m kicking around a gen 5 34 myself. I really don’t think you can go wrong with either. Only Glock I haven’t been able to keep was the 26. I’ve tried and it’s too uncomfortable to carry for the round capacity. I’d just assume carry a 19.

Yeah, the 26/27 is too small for my liking too.

Globe,
What do you think about the 43x? I am carrying it with the shield arms mags that make it hold 16 rounds. It is my favorite carry piece so far.
