What are the best pistols that take Glock 19 mags?

I’m looking for some advice on handguns that use Glock 19 magazines. I currently have a Glock 19, and I’m interested in expanding my collection with other pistols that can utilize the same mags. I’ve heard there are quite a few options out there, but I want to know which ones are worth considering.

Possible Considerations

  • Compatibility: First and foremost, I want to ensure that the pistol I choose can reliably accept Glock 19 magazines. Some models are known for this, but which ones have the best track record?
  • Ergonomics: I also want to know about the feel and handling of these pistols. Are they comfortable to hold and shoot? How do they compare to the Glock in terms of grip and controls?
  • Performance: Accuracy and reliability are crucial for me. What has been your experience with pistols that take Glock 19 mags in terms of performance? Are there any that stand out?
  • Upgrades and Accessories: I’m also curious about whether these alternative models have a good variety of accessories available. Are there upgrades I should consider?

Popular Models to Discuss

I’ve come across a few models like the Sig Sauer P320 and the Palmetto State Armory Dagger. Are there others I should look into?

Your Personal Experiences

If you have personal experiences with any of these pistols or others that also fit the criteria, please share! I’d love to hear how they handle, any issues you ran into, and if you’d recommend them.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

If you’re looking for alternatives to the Glock 19 that use the same mags, you should definitely check out the P80 series. They have a very similar feel and are modular.

I’ve heard good things about the Shadow Systems pistols too! They offer great ergonomics and build quality while still being compatible with Glock mags.

Don’t forget about the Sig P320! You can get it in a compact variant that can utilize Glock magazines. It’s super customizable too!

That’s a great point! I personally love the modularity of the P320. It’s fun to swap out parts for personalization.

Has anyone tried the Canik Rival? It’s a solid choice and works with Glock 19 mags as well. Plus, the performance is really impressive for the price!

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen some reviews. How’s the trigger pull on it? That’s a big factor for me.

The trigger on the Canik Rival is very nice! I would say it’s comparable to higher-end models, which is impressive at this price point.

While we’re talking about performance, what about the Taran Tactical Combat Master? It’s more of a niche option but compatible and offers fantastic accuracy. Just prepare your wallet! :joy:

I love that you mentioned the price! It’s a dream gun but definitely not for the budget-conscious.

So, what’s everyone’s take on the reliability of these alternatives? Are there any concerns with using Glock mags in them?

In my experience, most of the time they function well if built to spec. Just make sure to use quality magazines!

I think it’s vital to do your research before purchasing. Each model may have quirks or maintenance needs that are specific. Worth considering long-term!

Pistols that accept Glock 19 magazines are definitely a smart choice! Availability is a huge plus—finding spare mags is so much easier. I’ve found that the cost-effectiveness is great too, especially if you already own a G19.

Absolutely! I’ve been using the Sig P320, and it’s been fantastic. The seamless transition with Glock mags makes it convenient.

Has anyone tried the CZ P10C? It’s another great option for those who love Glock 19 compatibility. Plus, it feels really nice in the hand!

I totally agree with normantracy about the P320. I also appreciate how versatile these guns are. Training is easier when you have multiple platforms that share magazines for practice.

It’s surprising how many options there are that utilize Glock mags! It’s definitely worth considering when looking for a reliable backup.

Exactly! It simplifies things, especially for those who are new to shooting.
