If a single handgun could be called an all-rounder, it's this one. The Glock 19's compact slide and barrel make it easy to carry and control, while the grip is long enough for a full firing hold and a 15-round magazine — a rare balance that's kept it the world's most popular pistol for decades.

The Gen6 carries forward Glock's reliability while refining the grip texture, slide cuts and controls. It runs the same manual-of-arms as the rest of the Glock line, so training transfers directly, and it accepts the enormous Glock aftermarket for sights, optics, holsters and magazines.

For a first firearm, a carry gun, or a range companion, the 19 is the safe, proven choice — and the one our instructors most often recommend to new shooters.
