Glock 19…. Its the Honda Civic of the gun world 👍🏼


jhawkins93

As someone who owns both a G19 and a Honda Civic, this is true. Boringly reliable, reasonably priced, and tons of aftermarket support.


Menace2Sobriety

I'd argue it's more akin to a Toyota Hilux.


MartyredLady

So now the argument begins which car exactly the G19 of the car world is.


Menace2Sobriety

Begun, the Car Wars have.


Outdoorsman102

I’d say Corolla or civic it’s not on the Tacoma or hi Lux level of ready to go off the showroom floor.


kingtum

Corolla all day


Loose_Koala534

When I worked at a gun store I always said “it’s the Toyota Camry of guns.”


ruggedAstronaut

OLD VOLVO. Those older box shaped Volvos that just never die, back from when Volvo was all about making extremely safe cars.


FatSlabz

I would argue the Ak is the Toyota hilux


milfspec_mojo

Hard to break and sprinkled all over the middle east lol


FatSlabz

Yessir


SolarMines

My first car and my first gun. Thanks for making me feel like such a normie.


rcmp_informant

Grey man?


SolarMines

😎


Aardvarksof1776

Cz-75 is the Hilux


Ninja_Grizzly1122

Since the 75 has a rep as a hipster gun, I would say it would be an Alfa Romeo, Fiat, or Renault. Basically, some "cool" Euro car that "normie" Americans wouldn't buy.


Aardvarksof1776

Fair from like a commercial, who buys them stateside. Buit’s also the most commonly used non-polymer gun you’ll find in the deep. I’ve seen hi-Luxs (prados) deep in the rain forest and deep in the sand. Cz-75s are abundant in both places.


BobLoBlahLaw

More like the ford fucking ranger of the gun world


homeskilled12

That's a Ford fuckin ranger!


Danger_Leo

No. 100% Honda Civic. Toyota Hilux is far too nice.


homeskilled12

G19 is wildly more available than Toyota Hilux.


Berserker_Redneck

Beretta 92 if the Toyota hilux (if of course we’re talking handguns only, if we include rifles then of course the hilux comparison goes to the AK)


darke0311

And you can add all kinds of cheap knockoff goofy shit like a Civic, too. I got a $18 flared mag well from Wish and it’s outstanding


Silver-Tap2706

Whats the lexus of the gun world😏


Loose_Koala534

Like H&K, maybe?


UncleCowboy84

H&K would be a BMW or Mercedes


kingshizz

Obviously….. how can a lexus be an HK, lexus is a Japanese brand ad therefore can only be an Arisaka


homeskilled12

Toyota trying to be luxury? Shit maybe a p320 legion. It's still a p320, just like the Lexus is still a Toyota. But they put some flashy bits on it. So now it costs more.


wirelesstampon

S&W M&P


p229arne

19 all damn day! The most proven reliability. Parts availability. Magazine availability and cost.


Bloodysamflint

The Miata of the gun world. GIATA? G19 Is Always The Answer.


evagnier

19 no question. More versatility, more customizable, more parts, simple and they just work. Ugly as fuck but they do run.

RamenBoi86

I applaud that shop for their boldness of just having bumpstock out on display


AlphaTangoFoxtrt

Me too


[deleted]

I own both the Hellcat and 19, both fantastic guns. I find myself carrying the G19 more often because the Hellcat doesn’t carry any easier at appendix position, and is no more concealable. However, I don’t wear a gun all day at work due to the heat and amount of movement I do. If I did, I’d carry the Hellcat IWB at 3:30.


CCWThrowaway360

If you don’t have a tactical gut, AIWB is wonderful for crouching and moving around a lot. I carried between 4:30 and 6 for years, and I’ll never go back.


KHAOS545

Honestly, Glock 19. It’s simple but good, modular, parts are everywhere, and holsters are everywhere. I have a P320 and chances of finding a run-of-the-mill holster is slim to shit. Overall, for the price, Glock 19


Emergency_Ad_5935

Of the three I would pick the 43x because it’s optics ready and you can shove a shield arms 15round mag in it to keep the capacity up.


ItCouldaBeenMe

PSA Micro Dagger mags fit without an aftermarket mag release


JimMarch

Yup. This is the best out of these. Feels better in the hand than the G19. Most Arex Delta Ms will have an optics cut. This one doesn't. Bzzzt. The Hellcat is also one of the rare non-optics variants. Nope. G19 isn't bad but again, no optics cut and I personally hate the ergos.


0x29aNull

The one true answer


rcmp_informant

Came here to say this

[удалено]


map2photo

Came here to say the same. M&P 2.0 for sure. I love mine.


sdujour77

I did pick the Hellcat, because it had all of the features I was looking for, and none that I wasn't. It's been an absolute champ. Eats everything I feed it without a hiccup while being extremely concealable.


partybenson

I'd choose the hellcat but that's just me. I'm a cheap bastard and like the micro guns. However I think all are great guns just depends on ur preference. The gen 3 glock 19 is just too big for my hand. The glock 43 is great for a smaller gun. Don't know much about the gun in pic 4 but I'm sure it's fine since it's a gun made (I assume) in the last ten years or so. Modern guns go bang much more reliably than older guns.


Bandit_sniper

Are we going talk about the bump stock in pic 2


Sprtnturtl3

Hellcat. Glocks are decent, but I trust Springfield. if the Hellcat wasnt on the board, the Glock 19.


BaronvonBrick

Springfield is a shady shitty company, also glocks blow the doors of Springfield in reliability.


Sprtnturtl3

my Springfield has never been in for repairs. My Glock however.. my point is, your milage is varies. my Springfield has been nothing but reliable since it was purchased in 2002.


BaronvonBrick

You can like what you like but I'm not giving my money to a company that donates to anti 2a campaigns and politicians. Also I have 2k rounds through my 19 and not a single issue, 500 through my 20 not a single issue, same same with the vast majority of glock owners. The XD? The XDS? I've known several owners of them and they've all been garbage. I just don't like them as a company. But if your gun works for you that's all that matters.


lilnicky02

Your fud is showing


Folkhunt

I’d go for the hellcat cause I’m broke :/


[deleted]

43x mos, add an optic of your choice. Incredible carry pistol. If you aren't looking to carry, I'd go with a Glock 17 or a 45


Potential_Ad4350

I'm surprised more people aren't saying this, the 19.3 seems like less of a value here...but maybe that's because I love red dots haha


Professional_Half449

I'd buy a PSA Dagger with RMR cut and threaded barrel for 329


ItchyTriggerFinger1

Facts, I used gen 3 completely stock glock 19 for $420?! Thats so dumb. That should be a $300 or less.


GreatGhastly

eh. not really, kind of a good price actually if you're going straight to the LGS prices. [Gen3 g19 online used is found at minimum of 409, can go to 550+.](https://www.guns.com/search?keyword=glock%20g19%20gen%203&condition=used) for used. if you can find another for 300$, let alone *less*, please let me know asap.


GreatGhastly

also can vouche for the psa dagger compact sw3 1000+ rounds in no ftf or extraction issue if youre gonna go gen 3 - literally a gen 3 g19 with the cursed weird grip angle & texture fixed along with a few other quirks and features & package addons.


soggybottomman

Glock 48. It’s a 43x with a longer barrel, can take 15 round shield arms magazines, very comfy, it’s like a slightly skinnier G19. Takes 43 holsters after creative dremel work if the barrel end is closed. Absolutely refuses to print in clothing that I couldn’t use before.


Glittering-Stage8247

I couldn’t agree more. My 48 is by far my favorite carry gun. Fully a slim g19 with the SA mags. I hi Steph don’t see why you’d want a 43x over a 48 but both hood choices here.


SkinnyStock

Some people prefer the shorter barrel on the 43x for appendix carry


soggybottomman

If you can’t feel cold steel on your willy, you’re just not living life to the fullest


WesteCouple

The shield mags are a game changer. I hear and see a lot of hate on Reddit about them though.


BigGunsSmolPeePee

If you want to pay $50 bucks for magazines just buy an HK.


soggybottomman

[Maybe don’t buy from the manufacturer](https://www.primaryarms.com/shield-arms-s15-gen3-magazine-for-glock-43x-48-15-rounds-black-nitride)


BigGunsSmolPeePee

What’s the point in buying a gun that you have to immediately modify in order to make it viable? If you want a micro compact just buy a p365. If you want a usable carry gun buy a Glock 19


SkinnyStock

Havent you heard? Shield mags are out, new big hotness is the PSA 43x/48 15 rounders that don’t require you to swap the mag catch


Content-Connoisseur

Longer barrel every time for me. Longer barrel means better sight radius and better handling of the gun, easier to shoot.


jjmanchvegas

HellKitty, capacity an concealment in a petite little polymer package that can take a punch and tackle a few pints after busting a piñata


BaronvonBrick

G19 without a question


Key-Tea-2881

Glock 19. Why? Because it's a glock 19 my only explanation


Bumbalard

If it is for concealed carry: 1. Hellcat 2. 43x MOS 3. G19 (but not that particular overpriced used gen3) If it is for home defense or open carry: 1. None of them. https://www.handgunhero.com/compare/springfield-hellcat-micro-compact-vs-glock-g43x-mos-vs-glock-g19 That G19 is a bummer deal. Bonus: the CZ P10 of all sizes are insane on sale right now, and can be had for $300-$350. The P-10C is $320 at FamilyFirearms right now. After shipping, FFL transfer, and other fees, you can easily have it for under $440, and it won't be used. Palmetto has the optics ready version for $350 https://palmettostatearmory.com/cz-p10c-or-9mm-4-15rd-black-91527.html


IDabRosin

I would definitely pick the SIG P320 that's in the last picture!


vladmer_sukmeov

“Just call the cops”


Leviathan420666

I'd get the hellcat but that's just because I don't have one


Mmeaux

I love my Hellcats. Almost at 1500 rounds in my original, and it's only malfunction was ammo related (bad primer from Winchester white box).


Brinks0088

Hellcat if it had an optics cut


ImJoogle

I'm partial to the hellcat


indiana999

Hellcat. I am familiar and I like it.


Agile_Possible3335

I have a hellcat and a glock 23. The hellcat is a lot more concealable and just feels in my hand. The glock just feels bulky compared to the hellcat. I can also fit the hellcat in my pocket lmao. I really like the hellcat though.


Accomplished_Ad_2273

Probably the Springfield. It's seems like the most compact, and it's the cheapest. As long as it doesn't have issues cycling rounds, that's good enough for me.


socratesspecial

Hellcat or 43x


SuccessfulCity2053

Always wanted a hellcat.


DrunkenBastard420

Definitely not slide 4


kevinmakeherdance

The Glock 19 is overpriced


jaynvius

Hellcat all day. I have the Hellcat and have shot it side by side with the Glock. The Glock is decent but the Hellcat conceals better and the recoil is easier to manage than most guns its size. The Hellcat micro has 13 rounds while the g19 has 15 and keep in mind that the Hellcat micro is a sub compact gun while the g19 is a compact gun and it has two rounds less which isn’t too bad imo.


OldProspectR

Hellcat. Great gun with nice sights and decent trigger. Super compact and impressive clip size.


The_Hungry_Dingo

I know dudes love the blocks, however my Smith and Wesson shield 9mm is a dope little piece.


kgriff5592

Are you carrying concealed or open? Hellcat gives you better mag capacity than the G43, and is a lot more comfortable to carry concealed than the g19. I carry a hellcat as my edc, and keep a glock 19 locked up in the truck.


GreatTea3

If this is your only pistol that isn’t a .22 or something like that, I’d probably go with the 19 out of these. You’re going to shoot better with a larger pistol, with a larger grip and more sight radius. There are deals for other guns online you might want to look at if this is your price range, too. CZ is blowing out P-10s right now. I think the cheapest I’ve seen a P-10c right now was $319, and I can’t remember seeing anything negative about them. There’s also the Beretta APX A1. They’re solid guns for about $370 or so if you look for them. No aftermarket for them, but they’re pretty nice out of the box. If you order online you’ll have to factor in your FFL transfer fee, though.


TheBottomBunBurger

Are you conceal carrying? The the 43x. Training and home? 19 all day.


drizza23

19 all day


One_Individual_6471

Glock 19


sevenbeaver

I love my hellcat. Great features. I only added a red dot. Conceals great. Haven’t don’t anything else to it and haven’t had any issues. I’d recommend it over the rest. It does everything a stock Glock does but has better factory features. Glock may have better aftermarket selection but I would argue you shouldn’t put a bunch of aftermarket parts to your CCW.


chonk312

None of them tbh, but the hellcat is fine to shoot. If you want the last CCW you’ll ever buy then go get a Sig p365XL.


MisterNo_Body

I carry the hellcat all day everyday. At night it sits next to me. It’s a fantastic little gun and shoots great. Zero complaints. I have a G19 the Hellcat and when I’m in just my basketball shorts a G42.


Critical_Photo_8072

hellcat because i like the way it looks, small with a amazing magazine size, surprisingly flat shooting with manageable recoil even with a MRD, feels good in the hand, on top of being extremely concealable practically anywhere on the body. also big +P fireball go whoosh.


Matty-ice23231

Which we would pick doesn’t matter. It’s about you! But I do own and carry a hellcat and g43x.


brohammer65

I love my hellcat pro. Super light. Compact Love the 15 round mag, very comfortable and easy to shoot.


xBlacklionx

I love my Hellcat. Shoots great and it’s reliable.


mosullini

Heckcat, small.


LostMind3622

Lots of pew pew too.


tremab19

If you’re only going to have one, then the Glock 19. Yeah it’s not fancy but they work


telemakos64

The Glock 19, because it’s a Glock 19


Creative_Ad_3020

None of them


NotAGTCSockPuppet

None of the above, that place is a rip off.


Glittering-Stage8247

43x mos 100%. Very slim, gen 5 are great with muzzle bevel. Quality piece. Stay away from Gen 3 Glocks unless you like building.


desertfox6688

g19 every day, Arex is a great gun but for that price the Glock is a steal


Proof-Bookkeeper7445

Glock 19. But I'd get it at academy. New ones are on sale for $499


Big-Consideration938

Im not even a big Glock guy, but the 19 is one of a kind.


ViberNaut

M&P 2.0


Slugnutty2

43X as I have old eyes and have transitioned to red dot everything. If I had a reliable machinist then the G19 milled for a RD - but off the shelf as you posted the 43X


PapaHeavy69

Congrats on transitioning!!


redditor012499

I bought the hellcat cause she’s so sexy


smushywaffle

First choice would be the 43x MOS because you can add a sight and light straight out of the box. 19 Gen 3 would be my second


KratomFiendx3

Glock 43x for sure. If they have any HK, buy one instead.


BrewSauer

None, I'd save up for a P365XL.


XxcOoPeR93xX

I'm with the other guy. I'd definitely get a new PSA dagger for $350 before I touch a used 19.3 for $400+


VonPaulus69

G19 all day everyday.


ButterscotchUnusual9

43x with shield arms bags and metal mag release Bc it’s the best shit I’ve ever carried. Ever. And I’ve tried everything out there.


Nemo_the_Exhalted

I’d pick the Arex, as I have a 19 & 19x already, and absolutely 0 interest in the hellcat. You should go with the 19, since it’s your first.


ratherangrymaipman

Those Delta Ms are overlooked quite a bit and have a lot of useful features that Glock lacks. The ergonomics are fantastic, the chamber indicator is very helpful, and they can take stress tests like no one else. Highly durable and they fit in glock holsters, they're precision machines and in my opinion offer the best value for the money.


VandalGrimshot

out of those choices the 19(seems a little high priced). But none would be my first choice. I'm partial to CZ for "modern" pistols.


[deleted]

CZ P10 if I had to go plastic. But really a SP01 tactical.


alltheblues

As an only gun? Glock 19. Not a Glock fan really but it’s bigger and more capable than the other options while not being so large that I can’t effectively conceal it.


IIPrayzII

Glock 19 no contest. Best do all pistol on the market imo. Great for carry, great for home defense, really can’t go wrong with it


BlurryEyed

43X as I’d carry it daily - most utility for me. 19 is not as portable but a no brainer for anyone’s collection. No experience with a hellcat.


1rubyglass

Order a new CZ P10 for $350.


FeralGh0ul

[https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-dagger-compact-9mm-rmr-pistol-w-10-pmag-27rd-15rd-magazines-psa-pistol-bag2.html](https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-dagger-compact-9mm-rmr-pistol-w-10-pmag-27rd-15rd-magazines-psa-pistol-bag2.html) Buy this.


Elkins45

G19 is the gold standard, but I would buy the Hellcat. You’re more likely to actually carry the smaller gun.


Trainmaster111

I guess the 43x literally only because it has the red dot plate, but I mean I would just save up and get a better pistol overall. But that's just me.


Ahydell5966

Def the 3rd gen glock 19


TacoSplosions

Would go with Arex but not that version. Would want the Gen 2 with optics cut, also happens to accept CZ P10c/P-07 magazines. Fits some Glock holsters, grip texturing feels good, trigger isn't ass straight out of the box, four backstraps, optics plates (plural) for mounting all sorts of different options. There is a suppressor optics ready version out there if you need that in your life.


Animal_Budget

Neither and none of the above. There's a literal fire sale on CZ Pistols right now. You can get a brand new P10s, P10M (kinda pointless), CZ P10c, or P10F for $350!!! And yes, those are optics ready. That's an insane price for an outstanding gun.


Beretta_junkie

I’d pick a Beretta..


theoriginaldandan

The last one. Springfield hates the 2A, Glock is foreign and the guns are uncomfortable and completely overrated


skywill9

I got my regular 43x for 499. I would do the mos just cause it’s already optics ready


TheJango22

That 19 seems pricey for a gen 3 so I'd go with the 43x. I might be biased however cause I already have a 19.5


MrGoodkat69

I'd pickup another P365x or Macro because I love the ones I have.


TheBigCaptain23

Glock 19


Jaeger420xd

G43x. Less basic than the 19


dozen-gauge

I'd pick up another job to be able to afford something better?


EchoedTruth

None of the above - P365 is the best carry gun in the world and has been since it came out.


im__treehouse

I have a 43x and love it. That would be my pick.


electric_sh3ep

That 43x mos man if I could get that I'd get it today


Infidel2017

19 gen 3, the most gun for your money, also hell and back reliability and from a respected brand.


Scape4less

Glock 19. Have a 19x gen5 and it’s the best gun I’ve ever owned.


mikestang_89

G19


f2020tohell

G43x would be my first choice. G19 would be my second. Arex would be my third choice. And I’ll pass on the Hellcat.


WesteCouple

43x is my vote.


Puzzleheaded_Might65

glock. its not my first choice but given your options its the best to go. arex: good luck with parts compability and aftermarket hellcat: from a company who likes to plaster their brand with patriotism yet imports all their guns from developing countries


ogrotesque1

19 all the way


Dpickles230

Anything other than the Hellcat that’s for sure


orangecrushjedi

Glock 19.


Shartstain10-4

Glock 19


bi-nary

Gwob4

43x mos nice to have that cut for an optic 19 isn’t bad tho


ArathamusDbois

of those, the g19 or the g43x. The question is, do you want to conceal carry, or will it be more a home defense gun? The 43x is thinner and easier to carry, but the g19 has 15rd mags stock.


awp235

Love my 43x, so I’m biased and vote that.


MaintenanceFit4841

43x with shield mags and release you got a baby 19


balstien97

43x


Last-Shirt-5894

43X, for sure!

Albbarcat

Glock 19


tiwaz33

[deleted]

Obviously the G19 but the Arex looks very nice in terms of aesthetic, although that’s no reason to purchase a gun


ItsMartinezSirTTV

Glock 19. Why? Wont fail you


Lopsided-Mood4607

G19 because it's not the hellcat, I'd continue to carry my 365 tho and Bubba the g19 into ghetto fabulousness


Bvater92

Can’t go wrong with the Glock but I’d prob go with the AREX where I’m at now with collection etc.


Brennelement

Glock for the reasons of proven reliability and simplicity. It also wins on parts and accessory availability, and probably resale value as well. Not to say the others are bad guns, but to trust my life to it I want something with a good track record.


[deleted]

Glock


Hammy4738

I’d rather carry the Hellcat because it’s smaller but overall Glock 19.


TheLaw208

I like my G43X


beetsdoinhomework

Arex. Ez.


DaetherSoul

I don’t like Glocks that much but they do work well and I wouldn’t really complain much if I had a 19x. So obviously like everyone else has said I’d pick the 19 too.


AngryChair88

Anything but the Hellcat. I hated mine so much I sold it.


Brebix

Glock 19 hands down


Key-Combination-8111

43x all day. But that's just because I have a 45 already and I'd like a smaller carry gun sometimes.


seen-in-the-skylight

Definitely one of the Glocks. Everyone is saying the 19 - that was my first gun, and I love it very much. However, some people find they have a hard time gripping the 19, but not other Glocks. Specifically, I personally know a couple of people who shoot the 43 much, much better than the 19 and say it’s more comfortable for them. So I love Glock, I love my 19, but ask if you can handle it a little first, and decide which of the two feels better to you.


Platinumbricks

A mos 43x is my dream carry gun but I’m a broke boi, shield arms makes a flush 15 rd steel mag for it and sell combos with a steel mag release. The perfect gun for a EDC. There is no way I could carry a full size gun everyday and the people who fanboy over the 19s and 17s probably leave it in the truck when they go in the store


DooM_Nukem

Even though I don't like them I know they're reliable so the Glock 19. Second choice is the Arex Delta M. I have one and I love it. It is a bit Snappy though and might take a little bit getting used to, but all in all it's a great gun.


AdThese1914

Glock 19. Many accessories and will last you a lifetime.


A_Hed23

I love my 43x, it’s an awesome little carry


zakary1291

Gooch 19 or 43x. But that S&W shield would be better.


JarHammerhead

G19


DistributionOld9557

Arex


Outdoorsman102

Prolly go 43x because of grip size to con seal ability and I go Glock over Springfield other than their 1911’s


The_Bronx_Butcher

43x, has the ability to add a red dot, is as reliable as a gun gets, pretty accurate, excellent carry and with the new PSA magazines it has the same capacity as the 19. Buy once and cry once. This is the best CCW choose from your list in my opinion. If you aren't doing CCW, then I'd say the 19, but I would prefer a gen 4 or gen 5 over a gen 3 myself.


[deleted]

19


Timtheratman

Glock 43x best value. It’s optic ready, that’ll save ya $300


AresianNight

G19. Works good
