The compact 9mm platform remains the benchmark for concealed carry and duty backup pistols, and experienced operators look for balance between size, capacity, and consistent trigger performance. A reliable, service-proven handgun that performs under stress and in varied environments is essential for both everyday carry and professional use.

GLOCK G19 GEN 4

Why the GLOCK G19 GEN 4 is a practical choice

As a compact 9mm Luger pistol with a 15+1 capacity and a 4.02″ black steel barrel, the GLOCK G19 GEN 4 delivers a proven balance of concealability and capacity. Glock’s Safe Action system provides a consistent trigger pull from the first round to the last, using three automatic, independently operating mechanical safeties that disengage sequentially as the trigger is pressed and reengage when released. The matte black serrated slide and advanced surface treatment reduce glare and increase corrosion resistance for long-term durability.
